Wait until you get to 40 and you've seen enough beginnings, middles and ends of things that you have a greater understanding of how the world around you isn't forged in bedrock but is in a constant state of change. How you've been lead around by Madison Ave in a fear of missing out.
There is a joy of missing out that come in at middle age. You can honestly say to yourself that something isn't worth wasting your time on. Not out of a close-mindedness but because you been to those dungeons and they have been picked clean.
I don't know.
Why did Funcoland only offer me $15 for a game I bought the month for $50 before as a kid?
But at least they didn't give me a song and dance about how they were doing me a favor and the burden of sheltering the item they were buying from me like on Pawn Stars.
I know of a bunch of audiobooks that I'd rather listen to the author than listen to the current person narrating or in other cases I'd rather hear the person the book is about instead of the author.
Being laid off can and will forever change your career risk tolerance. When I got laid off in 2008, I stayed at the next job probably 10 years longer than I should have because of effects of being laid off.
In what is about to become the year 2023, the most effective way of recycling is to limit your purchases altogether. Some day go through your Amazon purchase history for the last decade and see how much absolute garbage purchases you made.
Resist buying stuff you don't really need.
Can you repurpose an item?
Then turn to the recycling industry and maybe it will find a way back.
For someone of your experience, I would go to a site like Codepen and search for something you would like to build. Then I would find an example using the same tools you want to use. I would mess around and break that example until you figure out what does what.
Then open a fresh pen and try to rebuild it the way you want. Rebuild: not copy.
I used Codepen as the best site because it’s very beginner and frontend friendly.
In the end, the real winner of streaming was sports leagues.
They were able to continue raise fees on cables companies while being cables top draw.
Have their own streaming which they for the most part kept blackout policies.
Create bidding wars for scraps to streaming services to help legitimize them.
In the era of "content", sports is the ultimate renewable resource.
If Americans can't afford a $400 emergency, then they can't afford the risk of switching banks. In paycheck to paycheck living, the large bank is both a bedrock of an otherwise unstable living condition and an Overlord you dare not cross.
It must be. Because while Reed Hastings is talking about the death of linear tv, his competitors are incorporating linear options as a gateway to their streaming product.
If the large business Netflix had been paying attention to the business news instead of trying to get into the Hollywood trades, they would've seen the coming storm.
Netflix would rather have 4 months of my money than give me a discount for a yearly subscription. Thats my beef.
It never had to come to an ad supported tier. There were moves to be made that would have prevented the ad tier but they spent money on dead ends. Just as an example, why didn't they buy MGM? It served many of their needs.
Microsoft gets it cloud gaming/gamepass on another platform. That was the big takeaway for me. Very early Netflix, get your streaming service on every platform possible before they see you as a threat or opportunity.
