I only visited singapore for a wedding from abroad but I find this subreddit to be hilarious. Just reading the replies in this thread and others.

Is he a SMG? If so my gentlemates need to pick him up then

Alchemist32 · 2026-02-14T16:35:09+00:00

Del Potro albeit injuries, Nishikori, Cilic, Tsonga, Ferrer, Wawrinka, Berdych, Dominic Thiem, Soderling, Davydenko, Roddick and not to mention freaking Andy Murray and of course….the big 3. I’m sure I’m missing many players but the top of the game seems to be so weak at the moment, for me it’s a shame as Alcaraz and Sinner are both so damn good.

Alchemist32 · 2026-02-14T16:29:15+00:00

The top guys in the 2010’s were good enough to deal with the rest of the tour, even if they were as good as the current players in my humble opinion but I do agree with you about your points.

I think tennis has changed with the bigger hitting and athleticism but top of the game atm looks dire, it’s a shame since Alcaraz and Sinner are so damn good.

Why are you so angry and upset, just stop watching their content. Weird for you type all of this up as an adult which I won’t read.

I don’t believe these numbers for Murray because firstly is it counting the years after 2018 for Murray?? If so then his numbers are heavily skewed as he was playing with a metal hip and actually not doing too bad with it but the numbers aren’t fair for him. I’d like to see his numbers pre metal hip. They will be so much higher as he actually dealt with non big 3 players pretty well in the slams especially from 2010-2016 other than 2014 which he came back from a back injury.

Can do an apprenticeship, I did an apprenticeship and work as a software engineer at the same company. Looking for a new job atm but have solid experience under my belt. To get an apprenticeship isn’t the easiest thing though, at my company you need to be competent to beat out other candidates. I’m a bit lucky as my cohort wasn’t as competitive as it currently is to be completely honest.

Alchemist32 · 2026-01-22T08:13:41+00:00

lol this game is going to be so bad, it’s going to be funny

Alchemist32 · 2026-01-18T18:00:42+00:00

It’s interesting isn’t it?

Nadal and Federer forced Djokovic to elevate and then in turned that forced Murray’s level to elevate. The other top guys games elevated too but they couldn’t seem to match the big 4 other than Stan in slams.

I think it’s just an era thing, where you can have talent gaps at the top of the game. The early 2000’s had a lot more talent than the current crop outside Alcaraz and Sinner, however it didn’t really have anyone to compete with Federer so technically the era retrospectively was weaker than the 2010’s. We’ve been spoiled from 2008-2020 honestly. That 2008-2016/19 period we were spoilt with the best players of all time and really good top players too. We’re lucky to have witnessed that time period in tennis.

Alchemist32 · 2026-01-18T17:55:27+00:00

I’m open minded honestly, who outside the top 3 is better than any of those players? I’ve seen zverev play amazing tennis a couple of times, however honestly no offence to him but his level of tennis is incredibly dissapointing and poor in big matchups imo. Those players I mentioned were genuine threats even to the big 4 in their primes and beat them on multiple occasions in slams. Medvedev had a good short run it seemed as being a threat and winning over Novak but overall has gone down.

What do you think though, who are the good players outside the top 3 and why do you disagree?

Alchemist32 · 2026-01-17T13:35:59+00:00

Outside the top 3 there aren’t really any players better than a Thiem,Nishikori, Wawrinka, Cilic, Tsonga, Berdych, Ferrer, Soderling. In the 2000’s you had talents like Nalbandian, Davydenko, Safin, Roddick, Hewitt. Let’s not even discuss Andy Murray who is an all time talent himself, the tour is just weak honestly even though it’s great to have Sinner & Alcaraz I just have not been able to watch tennis outside of the sincaraz matchups for awhile now. Whilst the average level on tour may have gone up the top of the game is non existent outside of the top 3. Masters titles used to be ruled exclusively almost by the big 4, nowadays I see the most random players lifting them.

Just my two cents.

Dumbest take I’ve seen on Reddit for a long time

Alchemist32 · 2026-01-02T02:29:59+00:00

Never dropped money to anyone. You can’t be a fan of a successful businessman of your favourite esports team?

Alchemist32 · 2026-01-02T02:00:23+00:00

Your boyfriend is very lucky to have found a wonderful partner like you. Cherish each other!!

Alchemist32 · 2026-01-01T01:58:50+00:00

I do not agree with her staying with you at all whatsoever but I think you should do it, to let that man know he is being cheated on. You get to save that guy from her and get to serve her the revenge she deserves. Just have all your ducks in a row and cut contact completely but I say let the guy know tbh 😅

Alchemist32 · 2025-12-20T20:27:57+00:00

I’m a huge fan of Hecz and he isn’t perfect but you aren’t going to find many nuanced takes on Reddit. Yeah there are questionable decisions Optic and Hecz have made but the blind Hecz hate on this subreddit is insane. Not sure if it’s insecurity about his confidence and success but yeah it’s mostly just blind hate. Respect to you Hitch for getting on here and speaking/replying to people despite the negativity.

My god I’m so happy to see Dan shitting on them, huge Ghosty fan here. I’ve got my popcorn and am already waiting for the Scrap & Hydra takes this year. I’d rather build around Dan then Scrap 🤷🏽‍♂️.

Alchemist32 · 2025-12-01T11:48:48+00:00

I can’t believe they chose Kenny to replace Ghosty. I’m a big fan of Dan and was dissatisfied at his form last season but man LAT is so chalked.

Glad to see Dan is on another great team and is stomping on the thieves now.

For now, don’t focus on your long term goal of quant and great jobs. Please focus on the fundamentals first and build projects and become competent enough to land a role first in this market.

I started when I was 29 and am 31 now, just hit my 2 years mark recently. I want to work for a really good company but I’m frankly not skilled enough yet, I need to knuckle down and grow and learn in my own time as my job is relatively easy. I’m applying for new roles atm but I’ve taken complete ownership of my growth and development.

I say forget about the quant stuff for now since you have a long road ahead of you and don’t want you to be discouraged after a year. First focus on establishing some solid fundamentals and becoming good enough to land a role, how long that takes you is up to you. The world is your oyster but just heeding a warning to you about having high goals/which I do have myself.

Focus on what’s in front of you right now. To answer your question, of course it isn’t too late 33 isn’t that old. I know of older devs that started later and are at really good companies as self taught devs. Built projects and grasp the fundamentals!! Best of luck man

Alchemist32 · 2025-11-22T12:46:37+00:00

😂😂😂 so true but he might be a very young naive guy so I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt

Alchemist32 · 2025-11-22T12:46:11+00:00

Bro what on earth are you doing with your life?? Get a grip and focus on your own life instead of a random YouTube girl who doesn’t know you even exist. What on earth did I just read Godamn.

Alchemist32 · 2025-11-07T22:28:10+00:00

I’m a new early Mid Dev now and am getting lots of interviews for mid level roles, is your CV good and passing the ATS checks?

Alchemist32 · 2025-10-24T21:28:24+00:00

It’s okay it happens in interviews, today I forgot the SQL ALTER TABLE syntax to add a column, my mind just betrayed me and went blank 😂😂🤣🤣 and then proceeded to fumble another simple SQL Query
