  • Hey! I can chime in here! I studied Chinese and business like 10 years ago (so my knowledge might be a bit outdated) so I can provide a bit of context.

    A lot of workers from rural China has limited work opportunities or would earn very little. So what they do is they’d migrate to bigger cities where they’d be able to work at factories (like the one in this pic) at a higher wage and more hours. Then they send their wage home. Some things that surprised me was that in many cases the workers themselves would request long hours, to earn more, and that they’d likely only go home for the big holidays like lunar New year

    From a person who has been divorced once, and seen other friends get divorced. it’s not so much about choosing carefully, it’s about communication when the relationship gets tough or boring (and ideally before you get there). Finding the right person is the easy part, staying in love and staying happy - that’s the difficult part










  • We have a similar saying in Denmark, something like “shoemakers kids always have holes in their shoes” but in this case it’s more about that the people in the profession don’t prioritize their own craft. I’ve seen this with electricians where whole house is done but electrical sockets aren’t installed but for IT I think it’s more about distrust towards developers (takes one to know one)
