My home town is in bald eagles’ historic habitat, but there were never any growing up. In the past decade or so, they’ve started to reclaim it, which is pretty cool.

Yeah, we’re destroying the planet, but we are doing some things right. And this sort of good stuff only happens because we fight for it.

The amount of money you save (and invest) isn’t accurately depicted with this though. Living expenses don’t necessarily grow with take home, if you keep lifestyle creep to a minimum.

So what this means is that if you make $100k and save $10k/year, if you start making $200k you can save the same $10k/year, plus the entire additional $100k after taxes (let’s just say that’s $50k+). So you doubled your salary but your savings went up 6x+.

Not sure why you’re saying Python forces everything to be object oriented…?

Wouldn’t 25 year olds still be in school for their doctorates though?

Yes, I think that’s the point — they skew the numbers upwards.

“Chain migration” is how many people — myself included — get jobs.

I went to a very good school, and while I like to think the quality of education is what makes a school “good,” let’s be honest — the value is largely in your connections. Friend lands a good job, recommends you when there’s an opening, and bam, you’re already at the top of the pile of the CVs (better yet, they’re the hiring manager).

Friends from school — peers and mentors alike — are a great place to start, if you can. Ask to grab a coffee and chat about their career, and be clear that you’re in the market. Most people are happy to chat (at the very least, it’s flattering).

It’s the way the world works…

Costco focus on quality over quantity

…which sounds hilarious, given it’s Costco! But I agree, at least in their stores (as in, they don’t necessarily offer a huge variety of any particular items, but the one they have is — for my money — usually good quality).

But “included” doesn’t mean free. You still paid for it.

Baking is chemistry, cooking is jazz.
