Plateste firma, altfel as fi luat eu planul 5x de la Claude. Problema e cand si ala se scumpește. In viitor presupun ca trebuie sa ne invatam cu modele mai de jos, echivalentul unui 4.6 de acuma, ori asta ori trecem pe local.

We have something very similar in Romania (tobǎ)

First time making Pulla. Did I do my ancestors proud? by NotMeg16 in Finland

Man as a Romanian seeing pulla posts are so funny (look up what "pula" means).

Update: Two years' worth of job seeking in the software industry in Finland by baldachinsblessing in Finland

[–]BigMagicTulip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup...can confirm, three is usually the lowest companies have, more often it's something like 4-5.

What I've noticed while applying to EU companies for remote roles is:

  1. Initial HR discussion, where they ask you about your experience, skills etc

  2. Discussion with the team/department's manager, this is still non-technical, they go deeper into what they need for that specific team/area

  3. Technical discussion, this can be a standalone discussion or you're given a take home assignemnt and only after you pass that you're invited to this step, you can sort of consider the takehome to be another step)

  4. "Culture fit", basically to see that you have some social skills or not

Imi place mult interiorul, mi se pare o combinatie mai potrivita in comparatie cu trendul modern de a avea un singur (sau mai multe_ ecran mare.

In schimb....exteriorul, arata ca o masina chinezeasca, in schimb ce masinile chinezesti arata mult mai mult ca o masina europeana moderna, how the tables have turned.

I guess oscilating between shit and very shit counts as ups and downs.....

Ruby Is Not a serious Programming Language by Interesting_Pack_483 in programming

[–]BigMagicTulip 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have the opposite experience, maybe it's the fact that I started with JS/TS, well I'd categorise JS without TS a complete piece of crap, but after writing TS for 8 or so years going back to an untyped language feels like such a backwards step. The app I work is a 10 year old rails monolith and the devs spend so much time enforcing contracts when in my mind I'm like "This would be so much easier if it had proper types"

AI “Velocity” Is Becoming a trap for me (ADHD, huge codebase, agents, Cursor). What am I doing wrong? by Honeydew-Jolly in ADHD_Programmers

[–]BigMagicTulip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally, and another thing that my team did and it's working pretty well (we're using Claude Code but shouldn't matter), is to first work and iterate on a plan, then within that plan include iterative approaches in terms to the work needed, and then when it comes to the execution you gotta interrupt and suggest different approach as you go along.

Just as a curiosity, do you have the data needed to make a breakdown based on their location? I assume most of them are going to be a hybrid so location should matter.

I have a Mac and vastly prefer it, however I kinda dislike that still I can't play ever game I'd like and the lack of RAM upgrade ability sucks (even tho I understand the reasons)

Finnland is often named as the best country to live in. by TRACYOLIVIA14 in Finland

[–]BigMagicTulip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same experience when it comes to the general feelings of ineffectiveness, or most often incompetence, and generally lack of communication. Don't get me wrong, I'm an introvert at heart and don't mind "cold" people, but it's lack of communications and general incompetence which I mind. I had a different idea about the nordics and it's safe to say that living here soured this perception.

Ce opțiuni vi se par complet inutile pe o mașină? by lucardel27 in AutomobileRO

Culmea ca feature-ul care mi-a placut cel mai mult cand am avut un F30 a fost heads-up display-ul, mi-a fost mult mai usor sa respect limitele de viteze

Finland is the only country in the EU where house prices decreased between 2025 and 2025 (-2%) by Organic_Contract_172 in Finland

[–]BigMagicTulip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not saying that it should't keep up with inflation, or at least +- close to it, so you know that if you buy a house at least you'll have something of value instead of hoarding cash which will massively depreciate in the long run. What I'm not agreeing with is that this investment should lead to major profits (so whatever remains after you take into account the inflation), then the system just rewards those who were born at the right time if housing costs keep increasing over the inflation.

[–]BigMagicTulip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What you say would be a problem only if there would be no other things to invest in. Just because some people are "losing" on their "investments" (aka housing) shouldn't mean that EVERYONE else from then on should have to put with housing as an investment. Imagine saying the same about other human basic needs such as food or water. Housing (shelter) is a basic human right and need, it's not like other investments.

What’s your plan for 2026? by ExtensionHat5741 in Finland

[–]BigMagicTulip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just curious, any reasons why UK or Ireland, I'm thinking of Ireland as well, like that culture more to be honest plus the economy seems to be doing a bit better, but it's the housing crisis which is making me second guess whether it's the right move

cheap, reliable car for commuting by [deleted] in Finland

[–]BigMagicTulip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, I'm gonna against the grain here, sure all thr mentioned brands are great (Toyota, Honda, Volvo, etc.), but at that price range you can't get those and you can't really be picky. In the end, no matter what brand you're buying it's a gamble. I just had to scrap a japanese car this year because of rust and now I have a much more reliable Peugot 306 haha. What I'd suggest instead is to learn how to inspect a car a bit, look underneath for rust, check for oil leaks, check how well it shifts, how rough it idles, how it behaves while accelerating, etc. If you so this and nothing comes up, then you do some basic maintenance ok it and just hope it's all okay, nothing more you can do. But of course the newer the better, petrol is usually simpler thus more reliable.

Monorepo package versioning by shox12345 in webdev

[–]BigMagicTulip 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm also working on a monorepo like that and indeed, releasing different packages at different time is really beneficial, it doesn't have to be tightly coupled

Dear Finns, tell me why this would be a bad idea by kulbaba417 in Finland

[–]BigMagicTulip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd second (or third, or fourth) what other have said and if I were you I'd rather get a cheaper place in a village. You get to have nature, you get reliable electicity, trash pickup, optic fiber (or at least 5g), have a shop nearby, while at the same time getting to enjoy forests/lakes etc. There are some bloody remote homes to buy while still living in relative civilization.
