Where I live, any rental building from this century will be marketed as luxury. There is in fact absolutely nothing luxury about them. Everything is cheap and crummy, just not too dirty/smelly/with rats (yet). Rents are 5-7k for a 2b and being luxury or having amenities have nothing to do with this. Supply and demand do. There are enough people who make this kind of money and value living in a place that is half-decent + easily commutable to the city more than the 6k.

A senior programmer does not suggest adding more complexity/abstraction layers just to say something. An LLM absolutely does, every single time in my experience.

If PaaS or some "run container as a service" setup can work for your use case, I'd probably go with that. It takes care of many things K8s does without all the baggage. Also you are not investing into anything that doesn't port easily to K8s in the future.

On the other hand, if you are thinking of using bare VMs, then better go with managed K8s. I think in 2025 it's a draw in terms of initial setup complexity, but managed K8s doesn't require constant babysitting in my experience, unlike VMs, and you are not sinking hours into a bespoke throwaway setup.

This was not my experience. Many of the high paying tech companies were actively hiring senior/staff in London for most of 2022. OK, maybe not Google. This very suddenly changed late in the year.

I had to replace a perfectly good T450s because of terrible performance when using external 4k monitors. I had it for 6 years, upgrading everything I could, and it could probably last for at least another 4 hears if not for the outdated CPU. Replaced with a ryzen elitebook because RAM is expandable to 64Gb, hoping it will last for up to 10 years. The difference in performance is staggering compared to the old core i5, well worth the cost of a base model.

You can solve to arbitrary precision but you can't measure and specify initial conditions to arbitrary precision, making the solution wrong outside of a small time interval.
