I've been playing since 2nd edition.
Friends and I from decades ago still tell stories about our adventures back in the day.

There is an endless supply of corporate robots to replace them.
Instead there are options:
1. Govt walks in and just nationalizes them ala Japan post world war 2 where Mitsubishi, Sumimoto etc where just turned into puppets over night As in hostile takeover to influence how they use their loot.
2. Govt can then use the SpaceX model to disrupt brick and mortar sectors world wide (cement, steel, ships, planes, energy, fertilizer etc etc). The test will be bringing prices down of everything not just for Americans or the west but for everyone. other wise immigration waves just like the drugs flowing into the west will never stop.
Tech is supposed to fuck prices up. Google once upon a time did it for email, chat, video, search etc. I don't see why it can't happen with everything. We need grand goals not just how to add 6 more cameras into another fucking phone.
Yeah but is government really less corrupt than big tech?
Its very human to want a hero come save the day but I fear that we'd just be replacing one bad actor with another.

I don't even know the priority between && and ||. If I'm using both, I use parentheses just so it's more explicit. "a && b || c" should flag a linter, IMO, with "(a && b) || c" or "a && (b || c)" being required.
This is the best way in my opinion. Sacrifice a second of typing for clarity. I try to do this with expressions in general.

Spamming applications doesn't work. You usually need some sort of connection to the company even if its tenuous.
Used to not be the case!
I guess those of us with no connections anymore are out of luck.

I wrote an easy apply bot that speeds up my applications ten fold by removing a bunch of the tedium.
I applied to like 500 jobs yesterday.
Haven't heard back from a single one but I'm going to spend the next 20 days and apply for 10,000 jobs to give the job market a fair shake before trying something else.
