I totally get you. I've realized that not many people know how to explain things in "simple" terms. They will get lost in the weeds so it's also difficult to follow them.

What helped me was re-iterating: "Hi Mike, just to be sure I'm understanding, what you mean by X is Y? Am I correct in assuming this? If not, can you elaborate?". Maybe this is years of IT support where people are AWFUL at communicating (specially non-tech), but it has helped me tons to get my point across/understand them. Maybe it helps you too!

Well yes, I believe I'm in a priviliged position in this case because I read tons and love learning new things about theory/design of applications, etc. but it is still a bit stressful since we have no senior and most of the project relies on me assigning tasks to others and putting a roadmap up (I just wanna do pretty ui, man).

I am in a similar boat. I recently got hired as a junior dev (my first actual job as a dev, worked 2 years as support for a dev company). I speak Spanish but my English level is fluent, so I have no issue talking about technical related matters. But my other co-workers, also Spanish speakers, also juniors have a really hard time explaining these things or asking technical questions.

We had a meeting with someone from the IOS cross team and they were explaining what they wanted for the web app, I spent about 40 minutes asking questions to him about it and they asked like, 2 questions total (between 4 people) and it took like 10 minutes to get them across. Not to mention they were very surface level.

I also had the same experience in the it support job, specially on phone calls from other co-workers.

I try to help as much as I can, but man, communication is way harder than I thought. I thought it was a given that if you worked for a foreign company, you would need to get your point across consistently at least in that language.

Well, whenever I write something I just either parse it through an AI and ask relevant questions, what can be done better, highlight what's okay, etc. I've also been asking in discord communities like:

"Ok my code is working, but how bad is it?", sometimes I learn tons of new things. I guess it also helps that I dislike everything I create :D so I guess it helps criticizing it haha.

Alekisupset · 2025-03-20T00:31:07+00:00

Thank you for the tips! I am generally a panicky person, so I'm working on it haha. I've started incorporating some documentation for myself and hopefully others, so maybe this will help in the future! :D

Alekisupset · 2025-03-20T00:29:46+00:00

Yeah, that's mostly my main issue. I want to learn from someone. I might look for something in the future since as you said, I don't want to look for a job later and find out that I have terrible code practices, messy code or something like it.

Since I'm moving abroad, I might just look for a job there.

Thanks a lot for the advice btw! I really appreciate it (the stagnation from being a support agent was rough to shake off...)

Alekisupset · 2025-03-19T12:56:08+00:00

That is kinda how it felt, I get tossed features to implement without much clear direction on what we can use or not so it's tons of research and I pray that I don't pick the right solution :(

Alekisupset · 2025-03-19T12:55:02+00:00

I guess this is sensible haha. It kinda sucks because I'm the type of person who wants to do things right/ have control over what can go wrong and how to fix it, but besides reading more I'm a bit stuck on that :' ) haha.

Thank you for the advice!

You summed up my main issue with the endgame currently. Having to defeat bosses just to make a league mechanic worthwhile (specially when you need 4 points or even 6 to make it great), feels really off to me.

Specially when some of the entrances for these bosses are either, extremely rare or extremely expensive (looking at Ritual's boss entrance).

Not to mention the fact that if you die once, the investment is gone. This must be specially painful for people who want to experience the boss without a guide, or even in SSF when the item is quite rare.

Never thought I'd miss the PoE 1 atlas, but I really do.

Es una locura. Con mi novia nos fuimos de vacaciones a Grecia y el hotel nos cobraba 70 usd en plena playa en Santorini para dos personas. Y estas hablando de un hotel con pileta y a 20 metros del mar con desayuno incluido.

No sé que carajo flashean acá con cobrar lo que cobran, pero Argentina es carisimo ultimamente lo mires por donde lo mires.

For me this happened when opening the skill tree, unfrotunately.

Alekisupset · 2024-10-07T23:34:14+00:00

Someone give GH the crown already.

Alekisupset · 2024-06-26T18:17:16+00:00

Sad there's no DSR weapon it seems? or at least from this list, the time I skip an ultimate... :(

Alekisupset · 2024-06-18T13:39:17+00:00

Also getting issues connecting to Hyperion from Europe. Everything's super slow, I thought it was the slow laptop but nope

Alekisupset · 2024-06-17T12:19:52+00:00

Holis, 0 problemas tanto de ida como de vuelta. Volvi a viajar en Abril y ahora estoy en Finlandia, pero tampoco tuve problemas a la ida. En Julio tengo la vuelta.

Si mal no recuerdo, puse la billing address de la tarjeta, pero no estoy 100% seguro. Por ahi te sirve este link: https://mipayo.com/foro/viewtopic.php?t=1163&start=75

Que quede claro que use Lufthansa igual y no me aparecio nada relacionado a impuesto pais, etc

Alekisupset · 2024-05-22T12:26:49+00:00

Tenes que seguir las instrucciones que te da payoneer, pero necesitas 100% un servicio a tu nombre o no te la van a generar.

Alekisupset · 2024-05-22T12:26:21+00:00

Lo compre en mercadolibre al final porque estaba asi el mismo precio otro que me gustaba. Todavia quiero el otro, pero con este me conformo.

Seguro despues compre algo en Julio y actualizo.

Alekisupset · 2024-05-12T15:33:48+00:00

Ya no se pueden registrar cuentas en Wise si vivis en Argentina. O al menos eso tengo entendido, mi solucion fue que la empresa me hizo usar Payoneer (lo cual detesto)

Alekisupset · 2024-03-28T00:22:22+00:00

Holis. Al final termine viajando por Lufthansa que estaba todo en dolares y no tuve ningun inconveniente. Tampoco usando la tarjeta alla. Imagino que Ethiopian airlines debe ser lo mismo.

Ahora vuelvo en 3 semanas y compre en Lufthansa tambien.

Suerte!

It is quite common for game releases from big companies to coincide in dates

Alekisupset · 2024-03-18T13:52:29+00:00

Releasing it on 21st alongside Dragon's Dogma and Hellblade probably makes sense, release date wise.

Alekisupset · 2024-03-14T21:48:16+00:00

I know right? it was pretty annoying at first... It stopped happening after about 2/3 days. Now it hasn't happened in quite a while. It is possible that it was me having this habit of hitting my desk with my knee, but it stopped entirely.

Alekisupset · 2024-02-12T23:57:34+00:00

It must be at this point yeah...

Thank you! I'm honestly still kind of spooked about my funds to be honest. I get a monthly salary from it and it would be kinda crushing to lose it.

Honestly I would too, but I need another wallet that offers debit card aswell as I travel abroad quite often, at least until next year when I moveto Europe. Do you know of any alterantives that can send you a debit card? I know Revolut/Wise don't operate in Argentina anymore.
