Programming is one of those weird careers that gets exponentially easier.
Your first job is extremely difficult to acquire, but every job after that pays you more for less work.
When you're ~10 yrs in it's not uncommon to juggle a dozen or more offers - while having a job.

The biggest problem w AirBNB is the pricing. It's 100% dark patterns.
I know you'd lose money making pricing clear and fair in the short-term but you'd gain a lot of respect and usability, both of which should make you more money in the long term.

Interesting. I verified this myself: got in on the first try, but when I tried with my phone, mine stopped being accessible.
Most likely explanation is a shared resource or server relied upon by the big banks (Canada-specific) is down. Very coincidental timing, though.

This is... a compression of democracy. A survey of 1,518 Canadians is not even 0.07% of *Vancouver*, not to mention Canada.

It seems obvious that annual performance reviews suck. They're procrastination for managers—instead of being candid 24/7, you only have to be candid once a year.
Newsflash: the market doesn't evaluate your company's performance once a year. You're scrutinized every day.

You say "no".
I made ~$1M last year using JavaScript. People that hate on it don't really understand the point of programming, which is to do shit and generate value.
You can do all of that with JS, and the lack of having to learn an extra language means you're usually faster.

The average agency sucks. Bar is hilariously low.
You'll outperform 99% of them if you just:

2. Follow up if a client owes you anything

This is unironically true. For instance, many men on popular hair treatments like finasteride think they have "no side effects".

If your goal is freedom, build your companies explicitly to sell them in 2 yrs. Then rinse & repeat.
2 yrs @ $20K/mo profit:
- If you don't sell, $480K

That's 3x the cash + 7K/mo in indices.
