I want people to believe in stop signs.

It also presupposes the necessity of hierarchy.

It's descriptive, not prescriptive

What’s the scam? Get a job they can’t do…continue to get paid?

1 paycheck of just a few thousand dollars USD is a lot of money in other countries.

The scam is hold on to the job for at least 1 paycheck. It’s a expensive for companies to (legally) fire people, so if you get hired you typically can get at least a few grand even if you do zero work.

Maybe in Europe, in the US it's an email.

Due to the wealth disparities involved, a month’s Silicon Valley money is a years income for a scammer in a poor country.

So just produce LLM-level code, make excuses, say you’re learning the code base, get lots of help from colleagues, turn in mediocre work, and if you can hang on for three months before they fire you - that’s decent money!

Hell, you might even get promoted to management!

If they switched from doing all this to pressing people for estimates.

Yep, with very little upfront cost needed.

I was looking into Paket for this on .NET.

I’m imagining a mashup of a 50’s boiler room except with lab coats. These scientific papers aren’t going to sell themselves, boys. Gimme somethin’ that sizzles.

ASP.NET and C#

I'm currently building an internal app with Pico CSS, htmx and ASP.NET minimal APIs returning Razor components and it's a joy. I'm a Developer DBA with no perfessional front end experience but I feel really productive and the final results look great.

Not to forget Entity Framework Core. It has become one of the best (if not the best) ORM over the years. Bit of a learning curve, but for CRUD ideal.

I hate to say it, but good documentation is the key here. Visualizing data as interconnected nodes breaks down silos, aligns teams and makes it easier to build reusable, loosely-coupled systems.

Have you tried any of the BSDs?

I’ve been considering it. I have some older x86 hardware that I think would be a better fit for a BSD at this point.

Years ago DragonFlyBSD seemed by far the coolest, anybody know how it's doing these days?

Snipcart?

Second.
