congrats on graduating you are now a real adult
come join big tech where

- you are assigned a level and given a checklist on how to progress
- meals provided
- every quarter you get a report card

young engineers are being exposed to frontend TOO EARLY
it causes PERMANENT damage to their still developing brains
studies show growth and income can be stunted FATALLY

Imagine a world with 100 people who each produce and consume one apple every year. If someone invents a way to double output and takes half of everyone's second apple they become obscenely wealthy (50 apples a year). Still, everyone is much better off

i’m always surprised that it’s the minority of engineers who can

JS challenge:

you can hire junior, mid, or senior
