  • But that may not be as viable today.

    There are already several transit systems that have converted to cashless systems. There is also a push to some stores to cashless as well.

    Cash may be a superior way for kids to handle money, but I can see some areas where having cash isn’t viable.

    If I was a parent, I would want the wallet to act as a debit only system. However, I could see the utility in giving my kid a debit like system with $10 on it.






  • Yeah, I wouldn’t consider this a sign of recession. Instead, it is the confluence of various structural changes in the industry.

    1. Because the industry was forced to work in a distributed manner, it has removed the location premium in a lot of salaries. Companies are firing high cost of living areas and hiring in lower cost of living areas.

    2. Outside of cost of living, total supply for developers has increased significantly.

    3. The return on investment for software development has either dropped or are starting to be included in more decisions. This is leading to development budgets getting slashed.
