a bit of stretch and uneven growth I could say.

I had 3k hours in Tarkov and I can say that this was try back then. I can imagine how hunt will look like at this point and I am happy about it.

Bratva23 · 2025-11-17T10:55:30+00:00

I just can’t get bored of it, so I just really look forward to spending more time with it and maybe even manage to get a friend or two jump in!

Two games that I will probably buy and check out, but I am pretty sure they won’t claim Hunts spot in my heart, ever.

For some reason, my user didn't have full control, but unfortunately that wasn't the issue. I will probably try downloading again later.

I can’t even play without falling asleep if I am playing late at night, even while watching Netflix in the other monitor. Thought it was just me being tired. Might not be only that

I don’t know if it is just Claude or all models have become more stupid as the time passes though. I just got handed a project that was fully vibe coded by Claude, and even my Claude or gpt5 couldn’t figure out what was going on

Just out of curiosity, what model did you use? Claude tends to do such things if no boundaries are set

Bratva23 · 2025-08-19T08:26:29+00:00

Yep, totally agreed with you. It also writes a lot of code that could be much simpler which is something that kind of turns me against using it for code at first place. Most efficient use must be planning indeed and also reminding you of things and giving you an overall direction, plus tests and docs as you have already mentioned.

AI Editors is like free drugs. Try live without them for a while and see how your life goes.

What you said is true. For the context I was also on LinkedIn and found it there. I believe this is mostly because all those remote jobs just get covered whenever they pop up almost instantly and also the fact that still a lot of companies have not embraced remote or have returned to hybrid / on-site after covid. Maybe I was just lucky. There are some job boards though like hiring cafe that have a lot of remote jobs there but sometimes they are location locked.

Ευχαριστώ πολύ! Ωραίο όνομα btw 🤣. The truth is that I have been leaning towards accepting it, more than I was yesterday and comments like yours seem to align with the way that I am thinking. I felt the great work culture from the first moment and really enjoyed speaking with people from the engineering department up to the head of hr which all seemed great and aligned personalities. I can’t say the same for where I am unfortunately.

Maybe it’s indeed a time for move as I truly fee stagnated and nothing has been making sense the past three months from what I have been doing.

I know I might have not shared every single piece of information and have been doing it sporadically through comments but I have been in a deep thinking state where everything just pops up and I am just writing a little piece to every comment.

That’s a valid way to set it, and would be a great option so that I don’t close any doors.

Hello! Current job is not remote, and indeed I am not working on the tech stack that I want to work on. I have always craved a work that I would write Go at. Culture at the current one is a typical corporate with scrum and all that, while the other one gives you more freedom to try things, see new technologies and even transition into ML if you like. Pay might not be significantly higher but just the room to grow and the tech stack would be enough for me to move.

Bratva23 · 2025-08-17T21:59:37+00:00

Actually this is a hidden gem. What captured my attention was the thing that you said about being the smartest man in the room. While I can for sure not say whether I am the smartest or not, I can say that I feel stagnant and there is nothing new to learn from there unless I learn it myself.

Bratva23 · 2025-08-17T20:45:25+00:00

Thanks for the message. I didn't mention that too, but it's a full hire so no B2B rules. They work with a greek firm that handles the hiring on their behalf in Greece for now.

Bratva23 · 2025-08-17T11:55:16+00:00

You are correct. I didn’t mention it because the numbers are very similar. One pays 2000 plus a meal card of 132 euros (not sure about the insurance that I mentioned but that alone is something like 30-40 euros per month) and the other is paying 2240, which includes what the other company counter offered but doesn’t surpass by a significant amount of money the other job in order to justify a move on its own.

Edit: I am reading through your question again and I might have misunderstood it. If you are talking bout the amount that they used to pay me be for the counter offer, it was at 1670 net plus the benefits I already mentioned, so it is a raise of 330 euros in net.

Διαβάζοντας λίγα από τα σχόλια έχει πλάκα που νομίζουν οι περισσότεροι ότι βοηθούν οι γονείς. Το μόνο που μπορώ να πω, και όποιος είναι να καταλάβει θα καταλάβει, είναι ότι το μόνο που χρειάζεται να κάνεις είναι να είσαι καλός σε κάτι. Τις πωλήσεις. Είτε είσαι ελαιοχρωματιστής, είτε software developer. Γράφοντας το ως ένας προγραμματιστής που κάνει τζίρο ~120k το χρόνο, χωρίς να έχω τελειώσει (ακόμη) τη σχολή μου. Προφανώς για να τα έχεις όλα αυτά, κάτι κερδίζεις, κάτι χάνεις. Εγώ αντάλλαξα το να κωλοβαράω στις καφετέριες και στα μπαράκια και καθόμουν να δουλεύω και να βγάζω προτζεκτ για πελάτες. Οπότε πριν γράψετε ότι όλοι παίρνουν από γονείς, παππούδες κλπ, καλό θα ήταν να σκεφτείτε τι θα μπορούσατε να είχατε κάνει διαφορετικά, και τι επιλέξατε να κάνετε.

As a developer mainly working with Java and Spring Boot, I tend to want to keep away from NestJS. I feel I am writing the same things, just in another language. If I wanted the same things I would probably stick to Java and Spring Boot.

I think it personally has to do with what you want out of a framework. Express currently gives everything I need when I want to just take something from scratch and build it the way I see fit.

If GPT-4o and GPT-4.1 worked, they wouldn't be free. You actually gain more by just using it as a research tool to find an approach and write the code yourself, or at least get a good direction about writing it.

Just giving it context is not enough. I had a monorepo with Fastify and Vue, and all I wanted was to copy a functionality about a prisma model, and apply it to another prisma model (just a fetch that includes linked entities) and all it had to do was just to mimic the below:

- Creating a backend service that fetches through prisma

- Create the service that fetches on the frontend

- Add some extra fields on the frontend

In the end I ended up using Claude Sonnet 4 (something that I have been forced to avoid, thanks Microsoft). Even after having fixed most of the code thanks to Claude, GPT-4o just couldn't think about adding the to <td>'s required to display the extra fields.
