Not really. If the price of shares in your company goes up it doesn't mean you have more cash in your pocket. You would need to sell shares or issue additional shares to have more cash to pay people with. There's other ways an increased price could be beneficial of course.
Agreed and in my experience libraries like this perpetuate that anti-pattern. Inexperienced developers think because there's a library that enables it, it must be OK, right?
Low bid contractors will probably use this library to pump their code coverage numbers. Some of the shit shops I have worked at that hired lowest bid contractors have done some shady shit to meet “management expectations”.
I don't know about Postgres but a MySQL container can take at least a few seconds to start up and report back as healthy on a Macbook Pro. You can just purge tables on the existing database in between tests, no need to start up a whole new database server each time.
Can you elaborate? To my knowledge, 401k target date funds sometimes have small allocations to REITs (like 3-5%) or REIT indices that might be comprised of a mix of commercial and residential. Maybe there is some exposure to CRE mortgage backed securities through the bond indices?
"Sitting down with an RFC and coding up what it says is nowhere near as simple as it seems like it should be"
I learned this for myself when I tried coding an IRC server for fun. Quickly found that I made more progress, faster by just using Wireshark to see what an established server was doing and copying that.
