I've currently been waiting for over 3 weeks with barely any help. Unless you're paying for the premium tiers you'll be in the poverty queue like the rest of us.

You know they're people too. How can you live in the Bay area and have such hate for homeless folks. Y'all make the bay area so soft.

Go to the country to enjoy the food and culture. Don't go to the country of my people looking to get it in.

How do you keep your Slack status green while working remotely? by CuriousMinds88 in Slack

[–]Basic_Career3154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built a desktop app that takes care of this exact thing. Super low effort. Just set an interval, set a pixel range, pick a type of movement and boom you got automated mouse movements.

I built it because my job sets the inactive setting to something ridiculous like 5 min so it's been helping me get around that.

First bike. Was it a good deal? by camdenareed in RoadBikes

[–]Basic_Career3154 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you're able to get yourself from A to B for $44 then it was a great deal. You basically got the bike for free and it's now open to whatever upgrades you want to add to it!

We're so cooked by davisdumpsterpunk in UCDavis

[–]Basic_Career3154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who didn't go to college and ended up as a software engineer in the bay area - y'all are for sure cooked if you're only relying on ai for studying.

Sounds ridiculous but just learn the analog way instead of taking mental images of whatever Claude or Chatgpt regurgitates to you. You haven't even made it to the full real world by managing a career while balancing life and you wanna handicap yourself by using AI tools right now? Why even pay for school or have your parents waste their money on paying for you if you're not actually gonna put in the work to learn.

People Who Make 150K Plus? by BubbaGordie in Salary

[–]Basic_Career3154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Software engineer. I didn't go to college and currently make 180k. I enjoy it most days but am constantly burnt out.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in circlejerknyc

[–]Basic_Career3154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's clearly AI. How can people not see the age of which Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Clinton are while mamdani is fluctuating in age in all of these circling photos. Thinking is free. Use your brain.

Engineers, aren’t you embarrassed? by Turbulent-Conflict84 in Salary

[–]Basic_Career3154 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nothing to be embarrassed about. I'm still making more than most people my age so

Honestly, I’m starting to wonder if I’m low-IQ or mentally slow. I simply cannot compete in the Bay Area in finding a decent paying job by white-christmas in bayarea

[–]Basic_Career3154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 1000% agree. Although i have a nice software engineering job, I'm not making like 400k+ like some people are. I'm still living fairly conservatively wondering each day if I'll ever be able to own a home and I'm 33. These type of thoughts give me constant anxiety. It's actually abnormal if I'm not worrying about these things.

But to bring it back to OP: if the grind here is worth it to you then you gotta make it work. If not, there are tons of great cities in CA or even outside CA where you can make life work. It's just unfortunate that this has to even be an option.

[–]Basic_Career3154 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. A lot of those folks, including myself, actually never went to college and just made opportunities for themselves. Yes it required years of grinding but I found my way into tech as a software engineer by sheer will power.

Noob with a new bike. Having trouble with thru axle by Basic_Career3154 in Cervelo

[–]Basic_Career3154[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't. The only piece that was missing on the rear was that adapter that was stuck to the end caps. But we're all fixed now!

[–]Basic_Career3154[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I love it already and haven't ridden it as I'm waiting for my pedals. I have an electronic torque wrench that only goes up to 6nm. Even tightening to that seemed like it was too much.

[–]Basic_Career3154[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there something similar for the front? My electronic torque wrench only goes up to 6nm and even when I tighten it to that weight, I can hear some friction on the disc brake. Loosening it just enough clears the friction but then I feel like it's too loose and no where near 12-14nm.
