@shawngorham SoCal HVAC industry is a wild ride

@shawngorham In 2022 I was quoted $80K for a two 3.5T unit system by Service Champions. With a straight face and a tablet. During a period of two months I shopped around and eventually settled on one who quoted me $24K installed for same system. Eventually paid 28 after some modifications

@GergelyOrosz What is happening in the industry right now feels like a full blowback reaction to the previous era policies. It’s the revenge of the business owner who felt their hands were tied with employment mandates. It’s Elon’s anti-woke war wearing an AI mask

@rakyll True — what not to build has always been the real skill. And of course different layers of the stack get impacted disproportionally.

@paulg @tekacs Not only that, but the way the factoids in a bulleted list are tied together in narrative form helps paint a stronger picture than just listing them out. It’s the equivalent of body language, or intonation, but in narrative form.

@_adityaa21 “You’re judged by output, not effort” is precisely what makes software engineering great in the first place. In fact being compensated for effort will always be low leverage, regardless of profession.

@EllliotttB Citi primarily operates commercial. The retail side is mostly cc or mortgage, which is also not marketed direct to consumer. Mortgages usually bought from other originators and CC through affiliations.

@csubagio @brankopetric00 That’s an engagement farming account 🤷‍♂️

[Mike Dinescu @mdinescu]

@Braxxxx_Li @paulg I would also say — which specs matter

[Mike Dinescu @mdinescu]

@shawngorham Spot on. Not to mention that this will also create an opportunity for the prices to go up to fill the gap in apparent purchasing power.

Expect that a 50Y mortgage program will be inflationary.

@livingdevops @sandisamp Yml’s great when it’s 10 lines. And also great when it’s 20. At 100 lines it starts to show problems and beyond that you start to question your life choices.

@Yuchenj_UW Google has a lot going for themselves, and brain power has never been an issue for them. What the company is missing, historically has been a good sense for product and earning customer trust. Especially with developers, but consumers alike.

@heyalexfriedman It has been said that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Seems to track

@4HLDisciple @yacineMTB Just have to use reinforcement

@MattWalshBlog Yes

@APompliano Let me get this straight. You notice that folks with a background in finance are worried about new financial policies and that regular folks are not worried and you conclude the policies must be good for the masses because the regular folks are cheering for them? 🤷‍♂️

@jxmnop It’s not all software. The better analogy would be building something like Gaudi’s cathedral. Building skyscrapers today is more like deploying SAP
