@bajax yes I am racist against trend lines

@waifu I hope so

@waifu my lowest number is 3 million I'll only take a 90% reduction

@waifu might as well lmao, the market rate according to aggregator websites is so much higher it's not even close

@waifu I'm going through with it for the interview practice, if the number they posted is actually the number they would pay me I would never accept it no matter how desperate I was

There is no bubble btw the only way is up

> get an email about an interview for a dev job I applied for in July
> it's a startup where the posted salary is less than half the market rate, being generous
> it's in person in a major, very expensive, metro

I'm getting hoodwinked

@nyanide It's @bsky.brid.gy @bsky.brid.gy and it's fickle

@wertimer the communists finally got to him by fluorinating his water and his essence was lost

the last post @meso ever makes before dying of alcohol poisoning

@meso if you make them cheap and shitty and have the government overpay you more than you can maximise your grift

@meso the investors won't give you money unless you can extract profit continuously therefore you must keep selling newer, larger, shittier cars that fall apart immediately so the customer is force to by another.
Also don't invest in public transportation that might also cut into your (shareholder's ) profits

@meso electric buses don't have ICEs therefore they are better for the environment, disregard the fact that they are heavier which means that they add more tire wear and road wear which makes both bad for the environment also making batteries isn't free or green and for the slightly increased investment (something that NIMBYs and politicians would rather die than fund) you could just have a tram instead and it would be much better.

Human transportation apart from the aeroplane peaked before 1900

@meso le tram (it's just a bus which is infinitely lamer)

I have only been a Digital Ocean customer for just over a year and I can still trace their marketing emails from being "here's a cool new thing we added" to now "AI AI AI AI AI AI AI DID WE MENTION AI AI AI AI" we are definitely not in an investment bubble right now

@benis_redux Make a playwright script click random buttons on the list and sell it for $29.99 a month

@benis_redux @cassidyclown the problem is, by and large, no one actually reads them

filling out the fifteenth page of "how much do you agree with this statement" before my CV gets immediately tossed into the bin and I get a rejection email at 01:00

@cassidyclown When there is so much demand and nowhere near enough supply {employers,landlords} can do whatever they want and get away with it as long as it isn't obvious they're doing something illegal (and most of them will get away with it anyway)
