There is a pervasive trend of mediocrity in every industry. Our culture has become obsessed with safety and familiarity, leading to a sea of sameness. There is an opportunity for bold and courageous companies to break the mold and create something truly original.

There are 3 main factors that influence your salary:
How hard it is to become qualified for the job
How attractive the job is
Demand for the job
There are factors that can complicate this, such as when the relative value contribution of employees is hard to evaluate or when the organization has limited incentive to perform better. It's important to understand these forces behind salaries to make informed decisions about our careers and reshape what these systems reward.

How does electricity know where to go?

Mesmerizing video showing electricity flowing through a maze. Electricity flows through wires like water flows through pipes. It follows the path of least resistance, just like how you take the easiest route when walking or driving somewhere, in this video, you can actually see electricity flowing through a maze.

Not super advanced, but I liked the "changing the temperature" one.
-A high temperature of 1.0 or above will make ChatGPT more creative.
-A low temperature of 0.1 or lower will make ChatGPT more conservative.

This is basically SQL + Google Sheets and is pretty great so that you don't have to keep copy/pasting between SQL and Google Sheets.

Career Advice No One Gave Me: Give a Lot of Notice When You Quit
//davidlaprade
Giving more than the standard two weeks’ notice when quitting your job can actually have many benefits, including doing only the parts of your job you enjoy, reducing stress, extending benefits, vesting more stock, getting a bonus, leaving on a positive note, and being thanked and appreciated by everyone. Managers benefit from keeping employees around longer as well, as they gain competent engineering hours and reduce risk.
