@user1502 how does an 85 People Company have an CTO? 2 programming is repetitive, just the way it works. We dont know how they would be able to talk you out of it, but it might just be that your Company isnt a good fit for you. Though if you want to have an change of pace, you must consider the possibility of leaveing your current Company completely. Either by your choice or theirs.
@MaskedMan I would have, when i would have such a Limit, state in my contract that whatever my Company actively refused to sell or produce in my area of Expertise that I am allowed to produce it.
@RaoulMensink ours is about the same size and has a CTO as well. I think it kinds of make sense. But I am not in an IT firm, so few people are actually involved in programming.
@Magisch As I said, I've been through it. The only food I was getting was the free meal offered to volunteers. I had two teeth rot right out of my head before I could afford to see a dentist. You have to start somewhere or you get nowhere.
@Magisch the USA is an entirely different country than Germany. The upside is I went from homeless to prosperous in only a few years. That doesn't happen elsewhere.
@RichardU The downside is that the majority of people in your situations die homeless
You had a quick grasp of technology and an interest in it, and quite a bit of luck to not go at this during or right after a big depression. The majority of people in that situation have neither.
@Magisch No, that's not true. There are enough charities and opportunities so that you won't. Hell, a friend of mine from HS drank his way into homelessness, has a criminal record a mile long for petty stupid stuff he did while drunk and is STILL pulling himself up out of homelessness.
@Magisch The stats to bear this out. The real problem with homelessness in the USA is that there is no longer involuntary commitment to mental hospitals. The majority of homeless in the USA are untreated mentally ill, or addicts who cannot hold down a job.
To me, reasons aren't relevant on a national level. It's a states' rights issue. And I assure you, I know PLENTY of people with no financial interest who wouldn't want to see it legalized.
Their concerns are legitimate but that's why it needs to be left to the states.
@ChristopherEstep yep. And the whole idea behind it was that if a state got too crazy, people and businesses could always relocate. Competition between states made the states try harder to satisfy the people, or lose them.
To me just legislating everything on federal level seems more efficient. Over here nobody advocates states rights, the federal govt just gets on with it
Maybe thats a size constraint though
on topic though the fact that weed is illegal but alcohol is not is criminal
only good for filling up prisons with non-criminals and for driving up opiate and painkiller sales
States rights are the essence of tolerating diversity of thought and culture and how it applies to law. States rights are what allows a state like NH to allow permitless gun carry but NY to place MUCH more restrictions
We've had states rights in the Constitution since 1791 when there were only 14 states. :) There's always been regional culture and diversity built into our country.
@Magisch, State's rights is not about individual provinces. The US was originally a confederation of nation-states. The COTUS was written to make the federal government a weak overlay to unite the states to make them stronger, but still function as independent nation states.
@Magisch this has also allowed us to coexist with the option of moving to a rival state if we found ourselves disgruntled, and many do, even today. Our senate was designed for the express purpose of limiting the ability of larger, more populous states to bully the smaller ones. It was the express intent of the founders of this nation to preserve the individuality of the states The writings in the Federalist papers confirm this
For instance, one state has a unicameral legislature. One state doesn't have counties but has what they call parishes. And each state has its own constitution too.
@ChristopherEstep It's also where we got the electoral college and the original selection of senators from the state legislatures. The interests of the states was paramount and in most instances superseded the interests of the federal government.
@Magisch our constitution works just fine when the government actually follows it. But as far as countries go, we have a better track record than most, and we don't bury our history, although the negatives have been over-emphasised in recent years. We are vitriolic, uncouth and our forefathers were kicked out of every self-respecting nation in the world.
All four of my grandparents came to America from Germany, and while most of my family is still there, I would emigrate there.

@Magisch That's why the FF of America wanted a decentralized, weak, federal government. They knew back then that the way to prevent crap like that was to keep governments from getting to powerful
A month ago, I asked a question about getting a black eye. I didn’t expect much of a response, but boy was I wrong. The question is sitting at a score of 74, with 14 answers and lots of discussion.
The problem is, it’s a bad question.
