If only I wouldn’t prefer stabbing myself in the leg with a rusty knife over pair programming.
When I was on my 2x I wanted to do more programming.
Now I just I want to me f let alone to finish my job

No engineer is smart and overall capable enough to be called a 10x one and yet doesn't realize their price in western value. And we still talk about corporate cogs, the truly brilliant simply start their own gigs
I never knew a single 10x.
I know lots of them who say they are 10x though, but my parrot does a better job then most of them

motbus3 commented on One person was able to claim 20M IPs lists.nanog.org/archives/... · Posted by u/speckx
Turns out what constitutes "claiming" an IP on the site is nothing like you’d expect. You don’t need to prove you control the IP. All it takes is embedding a transparent 1x1 tracking pixel on a website, and every IP that loads the page gets counted as “claimed” by you. In other words, it’s just a tally of visitors (or even ad impressions), not actual control of the IPs. So there’s really nothing meaningful here.
It could be just reverse engineer how it works for one or few IPs and send all requests in the correct order mimicking what the server expects to see from a real claim.
For this test to be valid it would need to do much more than just that I think

How can you trust a tool that refuses to do the work to just take more money from you?

This remembers I have a challenge to figure out with some friends.
How to split a round cheese in in 5 perfectly without using any tools except the knife.
Assume you have the ability to cut in half perfectly always
Assume that if you can slice it in 10 equals pieces it is also a valid solution because you can just give two pieces for each

I've being doing something similar for years.
I will say that when life gets busy so do my notes. On the other hand, the other apps did too.
So it is cheap, easy to extend, portable and my only concern is that using it on my phone is not the best.
I have notes for target dates too

I am not a fan of their initial "Global Income Distribution" curve. if you take the actual data at the bottom of the article and plot it; it does not make anything the resembles a standard distribution as portrayed. It could be an infographic, it could be different axis, who knows, but portraying a standard distribution is wrong if you have an outlying skew in your distribution. Everything under $40 is a standard distribution, but above $40 represents the same volume of people as the average skewing any sort of plotting.
For 2025 only
Global People | Dollars
1,183,873,832 | above $40
389,144,677 | $30-$40
681,087,495 | $20-$30
1,647,364,177 | $10-$20
1,134,291,724 | $7-$10
1,170,170,455 | $5-$7
1,185,828,184 | $3-$5
700,440,541 | $1-$3
107,765,635 | <$1
It would be nice to see above 1000
