Isn’t the end game that all the displaced SWEs give up their cushy, flexible job and get retrained as nurses?

mvcalder · a month ago

Wait, my job is not cushy. I think hard all day long, I endure levels of frustration that would cripple most, and I do it because I have no choice, I must build the thing I see or be tormented by its possibility. Cushy? Right.

I really enjoyed the article and want to both praise and encourage the author.

You get it. It’s about value. Keep you eye on that north star and you won’t go wrong.

Whose value? How do I value? Can I reconcile disparite value? Yep, those are the right questions.

For me, I read this and want to give a shout out to Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, but that’s just me.

I enjoyed the read, thank you.

It’s not “freedom of speech I agree with”, no one needs protection to speak agreeably.

Isn’t it like this mostly everywhere ?

My Massachusetts home has both radiant floor heating (water pipes in floor) and baseboard water pipe heating (separate part of the house). My son’s New York home has radiators driven by hot water. I can’t recall a home where heating was vented air and not circulating hot water in North East USA.

I suspect the entire thing is written by AI anyway.

Nope, all human all the time.

Reminds me of one of my favorite Simpsons lines: "Aw, you can come up with statistics to prove anything, Kent. Forty percent of all people know that"

“They say sixty-five percent of all statistics Are made up right there on the spot”

You could argue that the grey blob or an incomprehensible kaleidoscope of overwhelming info are both closer to reality than what we perceive.

Anyway my point was that our color perception is arbitrary. Its all just one fact, a lightwave/photon.

mvcalder · 8 months ago

And there’s only one photon, vibrating like mad, singularly unable to contemplate its own magnificence.
