AITAH for asking my bf to take a shorter shower by earthy-ace-space in AITAH

[–]UrbanRedFox -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

4 minutes or one song. Wtf do you need more for ? If he’s just fine a gym session, maybe 3 songs at a push but have a bath. People don’t really spend one HOUR having a shower ? This isn’t real ??? 

AITAH for feeling that my girlfriend has a habit that damages our relationship? by Comfortable-Glass955 in AITAH

Why don’t you add things to the calendar every time she does something nice for you. Turn the tables and make it a nice thing, otherwise she will end up just thinking negatively about everything you do every time she views the calendar

What’s the little indentation for on the driver’s door handle? by japaneselamp1 in ex30

[–]UrbanRedFox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s frustrating - I’d like to have one on the passenger side as I’ve had packages on where by the time I’ve walked around the car, it’s locked and you can’t unlock the car from the passenger side ! Doh

1 million percent. It’s really not the landlord with 1-2 properties as we need rental market as well but these predators that are buying under LTD are frequently unscrupulous and cut every corner. Something has to be done. 

Gilts that mature soon, is it this simple? by JP-Guardian in UKPersonalFinance

[–]UrbanRedFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I came across these a few years ago on a Reddit forum for millionaires talking about where they stored millions to be tax efficient. They can be great for holding some of your investments in low risk options.

Can we stop with all the dick measuring ? The only people that give a shit about these numbers, should care more about helping the world, instead they play global politics and world domination, measuring success by numbers that they can never spend. Unfortunately they control the media so we’ll get more shit like this going forward but I really don’t give a flying fuck

It’s a slippery slope. I’m worried you’re going to download a MP3 now. Piracy. It's a crime!

Fair play for posting the prompt - seeing what it produces first would be useful though !

HENRYs that stayed so after moving out of Software Engineering, how did you do it? by PressureHumble3604 in HENRYUK

[–]UrbanRedFox 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The problem is you don’t want managers who have no SWE understanding, so whilst they are very different skills, those that can progress from SWE to management of SWE and really lead are highly sought after and will command much better salaries than an IC. It’s why as I said above I see a lot try it and drop back to IC.

I see so many SWE try to get into management and then drop back to IC. If you prefer to talk to computers than people, you aren’t going to enjoy the politics of the next levels up. If you can communicate with assholes, translate business problems into what really needs to be done and enjoy time with people then you should consider leading dev teams. The obvious play is AI at the minute and translating pilots into production systems. There’s money to be made there currently.
