Money and Violence dictates who controls resources hence power. So, companies controlling government is no surprise.

In the bay area it’s mildly different as its known that the wages are high
Wages do not matter anymore, i've seen guys making 300K+ a year struggling to get women interested in them.
Also, if you want to lose all your assets - only then lead with your wallet.

They all just write code, imho - software guys are considered very low status and have no pull compared to other professions like doctor, lawyers - i never seen a woman being excited about a programmer haha.

> Automattic CEO and WordPress co-creator Matt Mullenweg unleashed a scathing attack on a rival firm this week, calling WP Engine a “cancer to WordPress.”
In my experience, WordPress itself could be called a Cancer to the Web.
The amount of new clients I've picked up who needed help rescuing broken and malware ridden WordPress sites is... well, it's more than I'd like as I really do not enjoy WordPress LOL
We had that problem in barebones WP with no plugins at all.
Once we installed a few security plugins, it worked out just fine!
This is how AI will destroy humanity. People that should know better attributing magical powers to a content respinner that has no understanding of what it's regurgitating. Then again, they have billions of dollars at stake, so it's easy to understand why it would be so difficult for them to see reality. The normies have no hope, they just nod and follow along that Google told them it's okay to jump into the canyon without a parachute.
I used to waste tons of time checking man pages for Linux utilities and programs. I always wondered why I had to memorize all those flags, especially when the chances of recalling them correctly were slim.
Not anymore! My brother created this amazing tool: Option-K. https://github.com/zerocorebeta/Option-K
Now, ofc there are people are my office who do not know how i remember all the commands, i don't.
Without AI, this wouldn't be possible. Just imagine asking AI to instantly deliver the exact command you need. As a result, I'm now able to create all the scripts I need 10x faster.
I still remember those stupid bash completion scripts, and trowing through bash history.
Dragging my feet each time i need to use rsync, ffmpeg, or even tar.
