    Unpopular opinion, but Tesla model 3 has been the best car with the lowest total cost of ownership.

    Electricity is cheaper than gas by a lot, no moving parts or fluids to replace except washer fluid, brakes last forever since it’s Regen braking.

    It’s also pretty fun to drive.

    Not a fan of the dude, and never bought into the hype on the tech side, but it’s a solid car.






  • I’m in tech and It’s literally not falling.

    People are still hiring, just the bar is no longer absurdly low.

    During the pandemic, everyone was hiring like crazy, and people coming out of boot camps were instantly hired even when they didn’t understand algorithms, didn’t understand system design, and didn’t understand engineering principles.

    Now, you actually need to have a brain to be hired.

    Tech is also not a bubble, because tech is in every single industry now. You might get froth in certain segments of tech (crypto, AI, whatever is the current “hot thing”), the market fundamentals are absurdly good. Operating margins of mature software companies are consistently in the mid 20s to 30s.
