At first glance, I like the idea. But after thinking about it, there is something I really dislike. So much that it would make me want to lurk exclusively.

I will be paying you money for the privilege of posting questions (content) to your platform.

These questions will generate answers and discussions (more content). You now own this content, and it will be used to lure future customers by giving them an enticing preview, followed by a paywall. Once they are past the paywall, this content, that I helped create, and that you now own, will be something that adds value to your product.

I am assuming that the people providing advice during early stages are primarily paid seeders, and/or contributors with other incentives, such as shares in your company.

I assume that the long-term plan is that both sides will consist of paid subscribers.

I’m sure there are people who will pay to freely provide you with ownership of their advice for others. They might not even need the money. They will be content with receiving access to a community that is paywalled, unanonymous, and heavily moderated, in exchange for the subscription fee and their efforts.

But that’s not how I feel. So my question is, where’s my cut?

FYI there is a second edition of CODE coming out at the end of August.

Does serving as an expert witness violate employment agreements with typical tech employers (eg FAANG)? Assuming you are being paid and you’re witnessing for an entity other than your employer.

good code is code that gets you promoted, increases your networth, and helps you retire faster

depending on your work environment, good code may actually be bad code.

What happens if ledger goes out of business? I recall users being able to access their funds when Ledger had a systems outage some time in the past few years.

Do you have any recs? I currently use VTWAX, VTIAX, and VTSAX as my index funds. Even split between all three. I would appreciate any recommendations on what to change in terms of allocation.

It’s both. There’s literally no downside for the employer. Someone who abuses it is underperforming. You just fire them if it becomes a problem.

“the original” isn’t even an RTS, you’re thinking of Dune 2

nope, I remember starting my first tech job in 2013, and the only people in tech who cared about it were libertarians, which was a very small subgroup of tech

They’re more likely to be real when they’re 6+ years old.
