  • For decades, outsourcing was happening to India and other east asian countries to cut costs. This happened even under low interest rate for loans.

    Now that interests are higher the cost cutting and outsourcing only increase.

    My own feelings are that we really should figure out if we want to work for such lowballers who cut us off like parasites at the first sign of trouble.

    It would be prudent for workers to seek work in smaller, private companies. While they have the risk of going bust… they’re hopefully not laying off people in the same breath as announcing record growth.






  • Whatever you do, don’t start down the path of customizing a Linux distro.

    Welp, I am already done with that one in my 20s. I guess I should have specified, I had at one point a running arch install that I used as a daily driver. My main session was xfce and I was tinkering with some openbox stuff. Long story short, an update bricked my arch install. Being a noob and also not having the power of nix back then, I basically lost all my configs and dotfiles.

    Thankfully I never tinkered in Gentoo ever. I might try it out this year just as a bucket-list thing.

    Nowadays, If I want to run arch I am running Endeavor OS.

    (PS: I will try to one up you a more dangerous habit: Mechanical Keyboards. Thankfully my cheapskate-ass won’t let me fall into this trap as much as I want to buy one… did I tell you I already have 2 of those in the house?)
