- There is a marketplace platform with the same name in Nordic countries (vend.com)...
- > I'd venture that actually smart people don't go near this at all because they know telling yourself "I'm better than others and won't get addicted"
Being addicted is not an intelligence criterion because every human is addicted to something -good or bad.
That's actually a basic principle of how we function cognitively.

- >Text is the oldest and most stable communication technology
That's completely false: Images were used for storytelling thousands of years before text (compare for instance the Lascaux paintings which are more than 17 000 years old, the Göbeklitepe sculptures and stone drawings (more than 12 000 years old), or the the more than 15 000 paintings of the City of Sefar (Algeria) which some estimate to date back as far as 20 000 years ago to the earliest text known in human history, Kish Tablet, Mesopotamia, around 3500 years old.
- So many .sty (but not only) files to download elsewhere.
Maybe it's better to include them in the repository itself.
Once all the files downloaded, I run into several compiling errors.
- >The problem of "doing more work and not getting compensated" is pretty well-known.
Yes, the reward for more work is always more work. Hard work is the best way to make yourself unseen. Those who get promoted are busy advertising themselves, befriending strategically and may even take credit of your work while you are busy sweating.
>My final conversation with my manager was heart-wrenching. I had prepared a script, anticipating a counter-offer or a guilt trip. Instead, I was met with soft and understanding empathy.
Too much naivety out there to mention empathy even in a startup, let alone when working for a shark as Youtube. That was rather a good news for your manager: no counter offer, but also the fact they never rewarded you internally (L5/6) was a way to push you to leave.
- What is this new blog trend where I see capitalization disappearing ?
- The 6 first books reflect the quality comments I often see here on HN.
- How will you do that to stones of granite, quartz or stishovite ? Several authors and experts of all kind say what you said and what the article states are completely unfeasible.
- By non testers, do you mean developers/UI designers and such ?
- Useful links. Thank you.
- > It's like hiring a plumber then trying to tell them how to fix the toilet.
I never faced or witnessed that in software dev.
- > Unfortunately, I cannot read technical books fast and definitely not fast enough to make the subscription be worth $500 per year.
Reading is never about being fast at doing it.
If you don't want to read a book, read it fast.
- > PHP was fast, easy, forgiving. It also led to such awful code that several companies banned it.
That's not the case nowadays with PHP 8.5 for example... and Laravel framework.

- Good documentation, communication channels and a healthy work environment where colleagues can communicate and help each other are much beneficial than an internal SE.
Few days ago, Donald Trump pressured Emmanuel Macron to raise the prices of all medicines. The pressure was made with unspoken threats according to this article [1].
