trying to sue you in court.

Hmm, You’d probably get by fine representing yourself. Given it’s a bad idea…

I’d probably pick up a remote side job to work during the first job and store about 10k away to handle eventual legal fees. You wouldn’t need much of a lawyer to defend yourself.

95% exaggeration if he is a real programmer.

If he just tried to walk into Java knowing nothing or maybe PHP, and refused to RTFA, he might experience about 30% to 40% of that I just trying to do everything wrong.

A good project manager is generally worth a couple of bodies they’re helping manage. Unless your teams are all comprised of Superstars, they get more done with less.

No, ham radio deluxe, Topaz Labs, phrase Express, on Black Friday they’re half their normal price, if you come back in February it is twice the price that it is on Black Friday. Software companies are a special case. While it takes a lot of money and or effort to make their product, minting that product is particularly cheap. Same concept for steam sales. The real advantage is selling the product very cheaply a couple of days a year gets it out in the public more and they end up with more word of mouth sales.

The only thing that I ever go for on black Friday is software. A lot of software is actually legitimately cheaper on black Friday sales.

Ignoring lack of parking, slow travel and waste disposal, it’s more like 3-6k if you already live on a farm. 5-10k if you board it with someone, and you’ll likely need a car to get you to the stables.

Mixed truth. They carried broadcast networks that always had ads. Fox, NBC, ABC all had ads.
Comcast would even overwrite one or two of the network ads with their own ads. A commercial break would start, some life insurance BS would start playing audio compressed all to hell so it’s twice as loud, at the end, you’d catch 5 seconds of some toy commercial and then one or two other regular network commercials.

Premium channels like HBO didn’t have ‘ads,’ but they did have station identification and self-promotion for what’s coming to the platform in the near future. They wouldn’t break the movies up, though, only in between. A few standouts didn’t start with ads like Nickelodeon, but eventually got them.

Saturday cartoons on USA and TNT certainly had ads from day one.
