As someone who spent 10 years in financial services, I want to reaffirm that a 50-year mortgage is a great idea.
It allows the bank an extra 20 years to make gobs of money in interest, and for the homeowner to avoid any semblance of equity while also increasing maintenance costs.
It's a win-win!

I still can't believe my good friend and colleague Sean just straight up vibe coded a data pipeline migration tool for #Azure Data Factory or #Synapse to #MicrosoftFabric - he keeps closing new gaps quickly too. Simply ridiculous. Open source. Free. Give it a spin.

There are a lot of arguments for why Mamdani won. I, a pundit, believe it was the typeface.
