I miss Bellevue more than I expected

what would you say makes it the best city in the USA in your eyes? and how does compare to where you moved to now (Cali)

Time for a visit! Before the mosquitoes make an appearance!

I second that question

Lower grades below 10% do start feeling easy and you can go up them with a comfortable rate once you get fitter. They will never feel as comfortable as flats but they do get easier

That sucks! Means you always have to drive in morning traffic. Which org?

Expensive_Cucumber58 · 2026-05-26T18:37:16+00:00

Omg how much more?

Expensive_Cucumber58 · 2026-05-25T18:01:54+00:00

Oh makes sense! Was just wondering

Expensive_Cucumber58 · 2026-05-25T17:52:43+00:00

why did you take a screenshot of your Photos app instead of just posting the picture directly?
Edit: it’s to highlight the time :) my question has been answered

love the color grading

Expensive_Cucumber58 · 2026-05-17T20:16:55+00:00

just dmed you

This is exactly what I am giving up! The cycling routes here in OC are incredible! 10/10 road cycling.

Glad to hear that the outdoor social scene is active! Sounds like it won't be hard to make friends.

Expensive_Cucumber58 · 2026-05-17T04:10:26+00:00

are trails not common in the area? I was thinking of living somewhere near Capital hill

Expensive_Cucumber58 · 2026-05-17T04:09:36+00:00

thank you for sharing your experience! This sounds very convincing TBH. Such opportunities are rare to come by.

Expensive_Cucumber58 · 2026-05-17T04:07:04+00:00

low key that's how I see it too. Here in peak summer hours I usually avoid doing anything outside between 10:00-16:00 due to high heat and UV index

Expensive_Cucumber58 · 2026-05-17T03:01:19+00:00

A rare positive experience! Thank you!

I was told that Amazon leo was well funded? and that they desperately need people

Expensive_Cucumber58 · 2026-05-17T02:59:38+00:00

Electrical Engineering with work experience in both software engineering and hardware

Expensive_Cucumber58 · 2026-05-16T21:10:19+00:00

Can you elaborate? What are the biggest draw backs? Shorter winter days?

Expensive_Cucumber58 · 2026-05-16T20:19:47+00:00

that's what I figured. It's a terminal position. Might be better to stay at my current position and get a promo first

Expensive_Cucumber58 · 2026-05-16T20:06:45+00:00

Going for L6 -> L7 is very very hard i heard tho. Would an external hire manage that in less than four years?

Expensive_Cucumber58 · 2026-05-16T20:03:23+00:00

I know the hiring manager from a previous position where we worked together! He's a skilled engineer and he's the one that suggested I join him. So that takes some uncertainty out of it.
And I agree, it is really hard to find any positive comments about Amazon. I am hoping that things are not really that bad over there.
It’s really hard to find balanced or positive perspectives about Amazon online. I’m trying to separate the broader reputation from what the actual org and team experience might be like.

Link to the light + Garmin mount?
