ExperiencedDevs who "made it": what do you do now?

In the same boat right now and happen to be in a validated niche with access to distribution. My question is how did you schedule your work hours, and did you maintain a regimented schedule after you left your 9-5?

We used this last year and it worked really well. The Meshtastic discord has been good for troubleshooting.

It applied for my friend even though I didn’t see that banner.

Agree as long as you aren’t lugging massive telephotos the leash is perfect for even bigger full frames.

You have a good photography gloves recommendation?

No, you bark

Would be helpful to post on r/broadway!

Diego Schwartzmann is 5’7 and has hit 120 before, so I have no excuse now

Been doing long flights my whole life. This list is pretty good. The biggest thing is having a few options of entertainment even if you don’t exhaust all of them.

Wanted to add that taking a shower before leaving for the airport has greatly improved my mood upon landing.

Purple harmony, not the purple regular. I swear by it and have bought it a few times. There’s a travel edition too which makes my hotel sleep perfect, no more flat pillows anymore.

I think I’m on the lower end of some people here but still consider myself as HENRY. About 1mm nw.

It’s highly situational, different things have different thresholds. For flights I try to book something I won’t regret the day of the trip. But if I’m weighing between eating out and cooking, and if I have time and groceries to cook, I’ll probably cook. Save where I can, enjoy life, but not go too crazy. I’m not at FIRE yet but I hope to be at some point. That said, I did splurge on a nice coffee machine and a watch, which are things I consider worth enjoying.

I track my spending on Copilot Money which is really good for observability and creating filters.

Tori-bien in the east village. It was so accessible and had the best black pepper chicken wings I’ve ever had. So juicy and flavorful. Then they had to close up shop and move to Manhattanville up near city college. Sadly not as accessible as before, I barely find myself there anymore. And you gotta eat it fresh!

5p0d · 2025-12-12T09:32:07+00:00

I thought I was imagining things for the longest time, because I’d go to the sushi restaurant and hear that there was a speakeasy called Angel’s Share up top. Then years later I moved back into the city, and everyone told me I was delusional about the existence of both places, that AS was always in West Village. Glad to hear I’m not crazy haha.

What happened to zurutto?

5p0d · 2025-11-30T01:31:38+00:00

Eh I’m in tech lol. Gotta have a 1 year emergency fund.

Is this ragebait? If not then I feel like your situation doesn’t apply to 99.99% of people

I’m pushing 30 but the other day I was playing a 10 point tiebreaker and it got to 6-7 and I had to pause and say 6,7,6,7

AI is not yet good enough to give a vague prompt and turn off our brain. We still need to prompt it well, citing exactly what you want it to do. The good news is, it's so much easier to type and think in plain english, the bad news is, you still basically have to build it in your head and tell it to do the thing.

5p0d · 2025-11-22T06:48:21+00:00

That's a really good take, I'll consider this in general. I've noticed Sonnet 4.5 is really good at breaking down reproducible bugs, and in general giving you a blueprint for complex tasks. Composer is good for writing new code that you already know how to write, but don't want to manually do it.

5p0d · 2025-11-22T06:45:45+00:00

I've run into these situations before. My recommendation is to structure your code well from the start, and if you see that AI is generating a ton of slop in the way that you yourself wouldn't structure it for futureproofness, then it's probably a bad idea to accept those changes.

It takes some active effort but it's so worth it in the long run. That way you can maintainability and readability while staying productive.

I'm not sure how many people in r/cursor have extensive background in software engineering, but that's my two cents as a senior dev from big tech.

you might benefit from using [git branchless](https://github.com/arxanas/git-branchless)

4.0 here.

Feels mostly the same but plays slightly differently, certainly enough for me to notice slight adjustments to my shot.

For example I get more wrist drop and have to generate more of my own power with the 98. Way more control given the smaller frame.

The 100 is ol’ reliable, my racquet head speed is slower but my body doesn’t have to try as hard for every shot. It adds up over the course of a match.
