The best cars were built between 2000 and 2010. Pretty much the pinnacle of the internal combustion engine without all the millions of lines of buggy code that apparently no longer allow you to open your car freely.

Can confirm the 500k+ jobs in HFT/crypto (well the latter might not be a life insurance). I saw a couple of these job postings mostly in the Cyprus/Switzerland area.
You could also make these amounts in adult/gambling marketing but that's another can of worms..
can you share some names of these hft/crypto firms?
HN is the wrong crowd to ask, because they’re behind the curve on a lot of things.
Hop on FinTwit or CryptoTwit.
Derivatives (options/futures) are your best bang:buck. But crypto is where the real speculation is.
Read up on a practical trading book (hypothesis building, backtesting without bias, and risk management via Kelly etc.) and then start testing strategies.
Backtesting you can build yourself with any broker that has an API, but not all are made equal. It’s dead simple.

what is the remote policy? on the company website only a few positions are listed as remote.
The reality is: they have the data and the data shows that productivity is more or less the same. However, they (the execs) prefer to have everyone back in the office to keep tax incentives, real estate value and probably also because they (old school executives with strong people skills) genuinely think that in office is better.
Isn’t there anyone that can steelman the WFH situation?
Twitter, Amazon, Zoom, others are all ending or limiting their WFH programs.
Doesn’t that tell anyone that there MIGHT be facts or at least good research on this that it isn’t producing good work for the money?
I get that “corporations are bad maaaan” and all the good people are dreamy socialists… but what if you are wrong and it isn’t more effective?
Amazon does not have data to motivate the RTO

I work remotely and I'am a big remote work enthusiast and I think that Meta is right on this one.
They are (at least at the moment) one of the most remote friendly company among the big tech ones and I think that they are following the plan that Zuck draw. He never said that Meta would become a fully remote company overnight. In fact in may 2020 he said the he expects half of the company to work remotely in 5 to 10 years[1]. Around 25% of the Meta workforce is remote and this figure could increase.
They are also the only company that admitted that onboarding is harder remotely. This can happen for a number of reasons (for example, processes not optimized for remote workers and not for an inherently inferiority of remote work) and the fact that they also said that engineers that switch from office/hybrid to remote performs the same as the ones in offices suggests that they are not done with remote work.
I guess we'll see how it will end, but I don't think that a cautios approach to remote work must necessarily be considered negative.

I think that the Gartner hype cycle can be applied to remote work. The peak was in 2022 and now we are in the trough of disillusionment. I think that an improvement in market conditions (low rates), the realization that remote first/fully remote can work at scale (it's a matter of time before the remote startups founded in the last 3 years will become unicorn/decacorn) and a stabilization in the commercial real estate and service sector (a huge crash is an hard pill to swallow, let the market adjust slowly) will push remote work In The slope of enlightenment.
I've worked with fantastic engineers from Argentina, Poland, Ukraine, etc. and since everyone is on Zoom anyway, them being remote makes no difference (this was not the case prior to about 2015 or so, when video conferencing got good enough), and they all adapt to US time zones.
I've seen lots of CEOs announce layoffs and plug how AI is making them so much more efficient, but I think the reality, besides previous over-hiring in general, is that it's much easier to find and utilize high quality offshore talent. I know some managers at Google who say they have drastically reduced junior engineer hiring in the US (and obviously they had layoffs at Google), while still hiring in lower cost countries.
Be careful what you wish for.
