Programmer here

All you have to do is diversify your workforce. Don't hire a single programmer or a single group of programmers to do the entire project. Get a few different guys who don't know each other - they will keep an eye on each other, and if one tries to cheat you, the other will stab him in the back and report him to you, if they think they'll get a bonus.

Thanks anon this seems like the only useful advice ITT

Most people miss the point about raising minimum wage. The issue isn't so much about raising the wages of current laborers, and getting rid of the ones you can't afford any more. That shit is obvious, although nobody who screams for higher wages thinks that THEY'LL be the ones cut loose, but that's a different argument.

The real problem is that it's now illegal to hire low-value labor. There are PLENTY of unemployed poor people out there who would take a $10/hour, or $8/hour, or $6/hour job just to have something. And there are plenty of companies who would LOVE to hire extra help for those wages... But those poor unemployed guys can't find anywhere that is hiring unskilled labor. Why?

Because now it's illegal to hire them for that wage! Even though there are plenty of businesses willing to hire unskilled laborers, and plenty of people willing to work, the government is just making it illegal for the companies to hire those people.

Now the counter-argument is that "if you can't pay a LIVING wage, you shouldn't be hiring anyone." And it's a fair point, it's an unfortunate thought that a person could be working a full workweek and still go hungry. HOWEVER, doesn't it seem strange that one person might say that $15/hour is the bare minimum for a "living" wage, but another person is perfectly willing to work a $10/hour job? Maybe the idea of a LIVING WAGE is totally arbitrary, and should not be enforced by the government.

Yes

Once you stop paying by the hour and start paying in milestones it gets better

So instead of
>pajeet, i'll pay you $12/hour to write code
>pajeet finishes task in 2 weeks
Do this
>pajeet i'll pay you $200 once you finish this module and testing completes, and $200 more once you finish this module and testing is complete and successful
>pajeet finishes work in 1-2 days, you point out obvious bugs and null pointers, and debugging/cleanup is finished by end of the week

It's SO much better

What's going on? the market is looking pretty bullish today

On one hand, I see 2-3 cops getting paid ridiculous amounts of overtime to direct traffic every time someone has to dig up a pipe, at probably $80/h each to be a glorified crossing guard

On the other hand, it probably keeps states and towns from hiring the bare minimum neanderthals to be our teachers/cops, and keeps clueless politicians from interfering with police work

So do we really need them? Purging the public sector of unions would probably lower costs astronomically.

And if so, have your returns increased to cover the loss in wages? Also, how much capital did you have invested when you quit?

Bullshit. I wouldn't be nearly as active in the crypto market if I couldn't hide my gains in USDT when I go to bed at night. In fact I'd probably pull all my investment out.

And there are MILLIONS of people like me.

>tfw you sold for USDT 2 weeks ago

Time to cash out, boys
