Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
It's OVER for ProgrammerCels: 1 in 4 programming jobs have vanished. What happened?

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

AI has helped make programmers more efficient which has reduced the need for entry level/junior devs.
However, most of the reasoning is that companies vastly over hired during the pandemic and the days of free money but once it was over, they realized that many of the developers they hired literally were doing nothing and they started cutting positions and getting rid of projects that were not profitable or didn't really fit with the direction they were pivoting post-pandemic.
Software development jobs for quality engineers are not going anywhere anytime soon. Anyone who says otherwise is living in Fantasyland.

How will a man be able to show a woman that he is a good provider if he's on welfare because the robots are doing everything?
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

You shorten the workweek across the board, like how France does it via overtime laws, but you take it further.
Of course, our Elites would rather have half of us overworked and the other half wasting time all day job searching, so...

Sure...just like how robots were going to make all factory workers obsolete 50 years ago right?
Still plenty of those.
