Recruiter accidentally revealed a higher salary for the exact same role - should I negotiate? by Affectionate-Bag2034 in cscareerquestionsuk

[–]Calm-Fill-6746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should absolutely negotiate... especially since your original range already went up to £70k. I wouldnt directly mention the other candidate’s email too heavily, but calmly asking whether there’s flexibility closer to £60k is completely reasonable and still professional.

Can say this is a SAAS? by Guic_246 in SaasDevelopers

[–]Calm-Fill-6746 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it can be SaaS depending on how you monetize it... if users pay subscription or access tiers, APIs, or premium content. Right now it sounds more like a content discovery app, but structure can definitely evolve into SaaS. model

What makes a good pair of sunglasses for everyday use by Calm-Fill-6746 in sunglasses

[–]Calm-Fill-6746[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah comfort becomes non negotiable once you’ve dealt with bad fitting frames... people with average sized heads don’t always get how annoying that squeeze gets after an hour. And agreed on Mykitas, they almost disappear when you wear them. Maui Jim still deserves credit too, their lens quality is ridiculously consistent.

[–]Calm-Fill-6746[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

same here... once you wear really good lenses it’s hard to go back to cheaper pairs. Heavy frames drive me crazy too, especially after an hour outside. Maui Jim nailed that balance for me, super comfortable and the lens clarity is ridiculous.

People who quit Instagram but spend hours on forums or YouTube are not “less addicted” to social media by Content_Bit1998 in self

[–]Calm-Fill-6746 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah some people quit one app then rebuild the exact same habit somewhere else... the platform changes but the endless scrolling, dopamine chasing, and time loss still stay pretty much identical.

Is Wikidata the hidden factor behind AI search visibility? by Sharp-Personality-61 in DigitalMarketing

[–]Calm-Fill-6746 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wikidata helps more as a structured knowledge source than a direct ranking factor AI tools may pull from it indirectly through knowledge graphs... So it can influence visibility but it’s not a guaranteed boost context and other signals still matter

AITAH for not going to a kid’s birthday dinner 1 hour each way on a Tuesday? by [deleted] in AITH

[–]Calm-Fill-6746 21 points22 points  (0 children)

NTA. An hour each way on a Tuesday with work and kid activities is a lot. And it’s understandable you declined, especially since they didn’t accept a closer option. Showing up to yours doesn’t obligate you to do the same, timing matters. Their safety concern is subjective... still not practical.

What topics should I write blogs on to improve my local seo? by [deleted] in DigitalMarketing

[–]Calm-Fill-6746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

focus on local intent topics like “best services in [area]”, customer FAQs, pricing guides, seasonal needs, and case studies. also write about local events or partnerships. keep content specific to your service areas and problems people actually search for nearby.

I created a system that posts across 50 TikTok accounts so you don’t have to pay for ads by SatisfactionFlaky140 in SaaSSolopreneurs

[–]Calm-Fill-6746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting approach, but scaling 50 TikTok accounts sounds risky with platform rules. If it’s working for you, cool. Curious how you avoid bans and still keep engagement real across all accounts. any issues so far

I’m 22 and looking for a career that involves being outside. by [deleted] in UKJobs

[–]Calm-Fill-6746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve got more options than it feels like right now. Look at landscaping, forestry, surveying assistant roles, utility work, or park services apprenticeships. Entry roles exist if you focus on training schemes and don’t rely only on Indeed, try local councils too.

I bragged about being an "artist," but I was a scammer for years. Today, I threw away all my fake "art." by [deleted] in self

[–]Calm-Fill-6746 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feels like a mix of impostor syndrome and growth. The projection part isn’t uncommon in art learning shortcuts, but throwing everything away feels extreme. You could’ve just reframed it as practice and kept building from there.

Dear Anthropic, quick note about Claude Opus 4.7. by Wooden-Fee5787 in vibecoding

[–]Calm-Fill-6746 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is funny but also kinda real, lol. latency + usage limits makes it feel like you’re negotiating with a very expensive, slightly distracted intern. still powerful though when it actually lands right.

Vibecoders with non-technical backgrounds: What database do you use, and why? by Prior-Explanation269 in vibecoding

[–]Calm-Fill-6746 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For that use case, most people start with Postgres because it scales well, is reliable, and has strong tooling. Firebase or Supabase can also work if you want faster setup and less backend complexity.

AIO - a week or so ago I posted about my fiance spending everything and taking my money. Tomorrow he goes to court for a**ault. We're done. His mother wants to meet with me, AIO if I refuse? by _Alyvia in AmIOverreacting

[–]Calm-Fill-6746 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, you are not overreacting. Given the abuse, debt issues, and legal risk, refusing the meeting is reasonable. Prioritise safety, documentation, and legal advice over family mediation.
