This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

That number is completely meaningless, as it does not include cost of living. Especially health insurance and lack thereof

It's definitely not meaningless.

You can take 200,000 for a few years, and go back and ruin your old local housing market.

That said - this comment aged like milk. CS is not a great career to be in rn thanks to AI
