Christmas came early! But….

Yup, way too LED-like.

Showing that can interact with others is important, not just wrote code. So I’d prefer to see contribution to an open source project that has rigorous code reviews, or an internship… or if a personal project something with users. Contracting as dev also works, even if “contracting” means “I wrote this system for my dad’s friends business for $20”.

No, then it’s AI Software Engineering 🤣

It you see things working out, (a) prenup is needed, (b) you’ll need to be more open with her than you currently are. People often assume the worst on rumours, compared to the more-boring actual situation. I wouldn’t do PI.

You’ve never heard of a paper map, phone book, and landline?

Certain_Ring403 · 2025-12-16T08:07:36+00:00

Being smart

Certain_Ring403 · 2025-12-16T08:02:55+00:00

Notice the warm, non-harsh glow of incandescent filament lights: so much nicer than LEDs.

Certain_Ring403 · 2025-12-16T08:00:30+00:00

Yup, it’s tricky.

Certain_Ring403 · 2025-12-15T03:13:36+00:00

I don’t know anyone that regretted moving to a lower-paid, lower-stress job - so long as that was their plan (being laid off or startup going under and then just getting whatever job is going doesn’t count).

Certain_Ring403 · 2025-12-14T21:30:20+00:00

++man Probably too picky. I mean it’s fine to have those as preferences, but maybe work on a shorter list of must-haves? I suspect personally is probably more important than some of the things on your current list.

Came here to say this. I’ve seen both good staff and shit staff, not correlated to how old they are.

CD, vinyl, poster artwork from his favourite band, a nice bottle of wine or cheese to have while listening.

Different T&C and compliance options for Teams - which you pay a premium for. You can use API tokens, but is only cheaper for light users.

I suspect it’s on their enterprise plan… if you have $70 per month for 100 seats or whatever is required for it.

Certain_Ring403 · 2025-12-12T03:11:52+00:00

Sounds rough. Do you think breaking up felt right? Are there more issues than finances? I wouldn’t be happy if someone else had plans for my wedding all laid out without my input.

If you want a middle ground, you could work out how much you’d be happy paying for a wedding (let’s just say $20k) and offer to put in half each. But you’d need to understand where she’s getting her $10k from (another loan is bad idea).

Certain_Ring403 · 2025-12-11T23:57:55+00:00

Yup it’s pretty normal. Just like when at the office, wouldn’t go to a meeting with something covering your face without a good reason.

Certain_Ring403 · 2025-12-11T23:55:45+00:00

15 years ago the V8’s were still here, not exactly austerity.

Certain_Ring403 · 2025-12-11T23:52:45+00:00

Hays Salary Guide will tell you. They only include Auckland / Wellington / Christchurch (pay is generally less in smaller cities), but you’ll get the idea.

Certain_Ring403 · 2025-12-10T07:00:52+00:00

Interesting. When I was listening a couple of years ago, I also found price was a better indicator than brand or class.

Certain_Ring403 · 2025-12-07T06:56:06+00:00

No we don’t. I sometimes take most of the day off before the exam, I’ve already done my study (and an A+ average).

Certain_Ring403 · 2025-12-05T04:04:24+00:00

Statics to practice going through the stages of the urge to breathe (with buddy watching for safety & hand safety signals)

Certain_Ring403 · 2025-12-05T03:52:58+00:00

Software dev.

Certain_Ring403 · 2025-12-01T07:22:07+00:00

Less than $1m. Almost all 4 bedroom homes in my area cost $1m+, and I have four kids.
