What if they celebrate the Hamas attacks? Still not responsible but still reprehensible.

We have those too. You can get a fixed rate or flexible rate. The flexible is always a little lower than a fixed due to the nature of it. Everyone in the US sensed rates were near the bottom though, and refinanced to fixed 3% two years ago.

That's insane. We have fixed rates that are exactly that, fixed. And mine, and all of the US that's owned for more than 2 years, is fixed at around 3%. That's a big part of why these particular metrics are what they are; the number of houses being sold. Price aside, it makes no sense to get rid of that loan.

That's insane. So if folks buy something they can afford, then the market goes to shit, inflation takes off, and the government uses interest rates to reign it in; it then victimizes all those folks who bought homes they could absolutely afford, but now can't because the rates of their loans changed underneath them!?

That's barbaric.

Yet cursor has blown copilot out of the water, as a fork of Microsoft's own vscode as well.

It's great for some sellers, but not most. Everyone with a mortgage is locked in to sub 3%. That's lower than inflation. Why would anyone give up that loan? You're better off keeping the house and renting it out than giving up that loan.

I know. I'm saying this is better than rifles.

I mean, doesn't something recoilless make more sense for these little guys than a rifle?

Let me give you some very good advice for getting a development job. This was given to me when I left the boot camp where I learned to code. I studied philosophy then bartended for a decade, so I had no experience. Yet I got a job within a week of leaving the bootcamp by following this advice.

Don't keep applying. Apply to a few places, maybe 10. If that goes nowhere, then why would you expect anything different from the next 200?

Instead of just applying, work on projects. Deploy some cool impressive applications of your own. If you can't do that, then you aren't ready for a job and this is why your applications are going nowhere. If you can do that, do it. Keep doing it. Learn new technologies. If you don't want to learn new stuff, then you aren't up for a development job, because that's half of it.

Basically, act like you're already hired. Act like you have a job. Spend 35 hours a week learning, building, contributing to open source. Then spend 5 hours applying. That's a far better use of your time. You'll have stuff to talk about in your interviews. You'll have stuff to show off. And you'll be getting better and staying on top of new tech instead of stagnating while you apply. That's what gets you a job. Not blindly applying. If you're only applying to jobs, then your aren't learning, aren't doing, you're dead in the water and that actually makes you unhireable.

When you become impressive enough, through the merit of the work you can show off, that 5 hours a week will be more than enough for someone to see your value and hire you.

The m2 MacBook airs are spectacular machines for the price.

I know, that's the dark joke I was making. If you're against imprisoning the mentally ill, perhaps you're mentally ill.
