Now that I see the product, I know what you mean, but man your description sounded so wrong before I had a visual to go off of

Are either centipedes or spiders insects? I thought insects only had 6 legs

While I can see the plus side of being able to identify bots, I don’t think the WEI is the right way to do it, and Google definitely isn’t the right company to be handling it

I think the original FIRE was much more radical- basically the plan is to save up only like 700k or so, move to a low cost of living area, spend less than 20k a year, and try to live off of stock increases and interest.

But honestly that life sounds kinda shitty, so people stopped talking about FIRE what all the other conditions and it just became more “save, invest, retire eventually”

What happened? I’m assuming you’re speaking from personal experience?

I can tell you from experience, there is nothing more distracting than having your manager walk up behind you and tap you on the shoulder while you’re working on code. While this problem doesn’t go away completely with remote work, at least you have time to compose yourself and bookmark your work before you respond

For real, I have not gotten sick since I started working from home. I did get COVID once going to a company sponsored event with 1000 people, but I call that “going into the office”. Other than that, it’s been pretty nice being healthy every day

Yeah I use it, but only as a rubber duckie. I never put in code unless I understand what it’s doing, and most of the time I’m just using it as a sounding board. Since it never returns the right code on the first try anyways haha

Yeah I order from Instacart from a Costco like 30 minutes away, so I always feel bad and tip well.
