Agreed.. golden handcuffs!
I did a consulting call today with a 33 year old guy who makes $150k a year at a fully remote job.
30-40 hrs a week. 2 kids + wife.
This is a really tough spot to be in.
Makes $2k a month more than he spends every month.
Zero chance at long term wealth but too easy and profitable to leave.
Golden handcuffs.
It takes a serious level of ambition to get out of this situation and go buy or start a company.
It’s hard to get excited about scraping and fixing toilets or power washing sidewalks when you make $75 an hour at your day job.
And it’s impossible to feel comfortable buying a company if you don’t start out lower and work your way up (with that stuff that isn’t exciting when you get a taste of decent money).
Difficult stuff.

Postgres 16 released! "In PostgreSQL 16, users can perform logical replication from a standby instance, meaning a standby can publish logical changes to other servers."

My favorite feature for #postgres 16 is logical replication from replica. It can help to resume replication (DMS or Debezium) after failover and it could also helps to reduce load on primary system. #features #distributedsystem #debezium #ETL
One decision makes all the difference! #decline
