Namaskaram, I don't know of many part time engineering positions, but the trend is growing, e.g. [1]. However I'm confident that you could find a position that would pay you that salary for a more common 35-40 (and balanced compared to 48 hours, 6 days per week). Are you on LinkedIn? It can be helpful in my experience. Feel free to email me, maybe I can find someone to help (no guarantee though)

If you have the opportunity to go to university, my personally small and insignificant advice - do it. If you're already established in the industry but haven't studied these things - do it.

So what? If your argument is absolute number of deaths because of crop deaths, those crops would still be killing animals and thus it's still more than not eating meat.
mssundaram | 4 years ago | on: How to Love Animals in a Human-Shaped World
Furthermore, most meat eaters additionally eat plants too, and the animals they eat also usually are eating industrially farmed plants, which really makes the crop deaths argument silly.
mssundaram | 4 years ago | on: How to Love Animals in a Human-Shaped World
The argument is that pasture raised cows is better than factory farmed cows. I am saying that in both cases the cows die.
mssundaram | 4 years ago | on: How to Love Animals in a Human-Shaped World
"crop deaths tho" is not a stable argument. Eating meat requires death. But there are ways to avoid killing animals when harvesting grains etc. And in any case, it's a very inflated view - you're still killing more animals by eating meat than you are by not.

If I understand correctly, then I would say it's your choice to perpetuate owning a pet, specifically a dog. And in fact, as pointed out elsewhere in this thread, with careful planning dogs can be plant based, and there are even synthesized amino acids available that normally only come from animals but can be grown from yeasts and mushrooms. So you can have your dog and not need to support killing other animals.

The "humane" argument is flawed because in the end - factory or pasture - the animal is killed. Live a happy life and be slaughtered or a miserable life and be slaughtered.

From a strict vegan perspective, you're supporting the killing of other animals in support of your pet. Isn't that inconsistent?

I'm not following - can you explain the analogy?

Hot take: if you're a mediocre dev, maybe be worried; if you're in a niche and have deep expertise you'll be fine.

I don't think it would take an unprecedented amount of coordination, because not many people would even need to know the secret. During times of mass chaos there is a collective emotional and psychological understanding that is easily influenced. At a simple level, see the "Brain Games - Social Conformity" experiment by National Geographic.

Does anyone else gag with when companies do this (made with love)? It feels too emotional, but maybe it's really true for them?
