To formalize: After a few days 90% works, after a few more days 90% of the remaining 10% works, after a few more days.... long story short, it never works.
Start a blog and have chatGPT write something ambitious before each rejection.
I just do some preparation walk into the building and announce i want to work there. You dont even have to pay me. Ik im still heren by the end of the month we talk. Stop thinking about it, we have work to do!
This is not a great formula but it is a great filter for the kind of company I want to work for. If it cant detect a good deal im out.
Seems easy enough to put some constraints on it. You would probably need a subscription for generating and a fee for requesting a quote. (With a deadline) I can think of a lot of things i would like to know the price of. Some for 1, some for 1000 units. Im not in a hurry, may send me better offers regularly.
Wondering why a rather simple form didnt work i view the console, click the error and find something querying an api with a var called neuralnetwork. I was quite satisfied with myself for finding the problem in just a few seconds. Extra points for naming the variable after the technology rather than what it contains. Imagine naming your form data not sonething boring like streetname but mysql or just database or perhaps API!?
I had a funny chat in the 90s with soneone in charge of a bank. The thing was, they wanted me to supply a business plan. I know how to write those but find it mysterious that they want me to write it for all completely unorriginal businesses. If one wants to start a shoe store one should simply investigate the demography and map the varous shoe stores nearby. The bank is in a position to do that cheaply for their entire service area. Innovation would be to put the opportunities in the window display. Their standard plan can have everything they look for. No need to complaint that the guy who hapoens to be good at baking bread forgot something. If the data checks out you can give much larger lones with more interest. If there are many holes in the coverage you sell someone a lone for a franchise. It was a funny chat because everything was impossible, even a bank director should not submit ideas.
The bank isn't so interested in whether it's a good idea to open a shoe store or not, but in whether you as the person asking for lending has the skillset to actually execute on that plan. Asking the person who wants lending to write the plan is the easiest way to check this.
It's only even half about the business. Instead it is about the businessman making the pitch.
If someone is good at baking bread that suggest they are qualified to to bake bread. Running a bakery is a super set of that skill. The business plan request is a fantastic method to give such a person a chance to show they have the right resources, enough experience, and reasonable expectations and strong commitment.
Why does every employee in the US need to pay an accountant to file their corporate payroll taxes, when the corporation knows how much they paid and can just use THEIR accountant to report this same information? It would be standard across many employees. And in Europe that’s largely what’s done. But in USA this creates many “bullshit jobs”. The IRS just closed their free file under Trump admin, and even when they had it, you had no way to electronically submit business taxes, and even if you mailed those to the IRS (still allowed) some states have NO WAY for you to file taxes without an accountant!
To open an LLC in NY you must announce it in a specific newspaper they tell you. And that newspaper charges $700. Same thing — they lobby to keep this going.

How would my employer know how much money my savings, chequing and investment accounts make? I owe taxes on all of those as well as on my income.
How would my employer know what interest I pay on my mortgage, how much I contribute to charity and my other deductible expenses?

You don't need an accountant, and employees do not pay "corporate payroll taxes", they usually just pay income tax to the federal government.
And if you think tax liability is based solely on amount of pay received from an employer, then I think you must not have any experience with paying income taxes in the US.

Free Fillable Forms is still available for electronic submissions. What closed was the government provided alternative to guided tax preparation software like TurboTax.

One of the things parties around the world have been successful at (as opposed to creating favorable law) is distorting and watering down other parties from within. Labor is anti laborer. Democrats are anti democrat, republicans hate the free market, conservatives want to change everything etc
My theory is that the further up the hierarcy the beneficial decisions are often harmful to those below which requires emotional distancing which even further up becomes full blown collective psychopaty. The yes men grow close while everyone else floats away.
Implement all of them, with slightly different edge cases that result in glaringly obvious RCE when two or three of them are misused in place of each other.

I wrote some joke code long ago for a library that does everything. You wrap all function calls in a try that submits the entire script as a bug report. The animatedBackgroundWithUnicorns() is then implemented.. eh i mean the bug is fixed.
It might actually work if the subscription is expensive enough.
