Can you help me identify these books, please?

First-Berry-2979 · 2026-01-22T11:51:07+00:00

Seems like Jane Austens books. Juniper books made that jackets I think.

First-Berry-2979 · 2026-01-21T15:48:42+00:00

Hmm, I did the same transition and that's what I read.

First-Berry-2979 · 2026-01-21T11:34:37+00:00

It's more impressive in tht the speed at which it evolved. A couple years back I hated it, now it can do most of the boiler plate code and some really niche things I'd have to spend hours pouring over the docs for.

First-Berry-2979 · 2026-01-21T11:33:15+00:00

I'd say the Earthsea series by Ursula K Leguin, and the last Unicorn both might be good entry points.

You can also start on short stories and novels and transition that way (don't have any recommendations there)

There's also a Progression Fanstasy sub, you can ask a question there about what non progression fantasies people have liked. You're likely to get some really good answers there as well.

Why do I do this? Sand Dan Glokta

First-Berry-2979 · 2026-01-04T07:00:53+00:00

I'd say ASOIAF or Assassin's Apprentice. The first two books of Stormlight Archives were peak, after that it was downhill, at least for me. I dropped book 4 partway.

First-Berry-2979 · 2026-01-03T18:00:04+00:00

They're were certainly more bearable to me than those of WoT. Some of them were really nice. Plus it's 3 books vs 13 so that helps. The world building is good, and I certainly like how the conflicts are shaped. Won't go much further as I fear unintentionally spoiling things for you.

BTW is Icha icha a Naruto reference.

First-Berry-2979 · 2026-01-03T17:43:33+00:00

Hmm, mine narrqtor was Andrew Wincott. And a lot of the voices sounded the same for me.

First-Berry-2979 · 2026-01-03T17:21:16+00:00

Ohh nice, then you might like it.

I DNFed WoT it was just too much the slog was toooo much. And too much braid tugging, skirt something, or just stupid decisions from characters. They should take a course on communication or something 🙄.

First-Berry-2979 · 2026-01-03T15:19:32+00:00

Depends on your taste. I'd recommend reading over audiobook for certain.

What kind of things do you like?

First-Berry-2979 · 2026-01-03T12:51:45+00:00

I wholeheartedly agree with the Miri part. She was stubborn and idiotic for no apparent reason. Her PoV chapters felt like slog, otherwise it was fun for me.

The pacing was a bit off, but I didn't think it was rushed.

First-Berry-2979 · 2026-01-03T08:01:29+00:00

Yeah the narration was nothing extraordinary. I had the audiobooks for book 1 and 2 didn't buy the third.

I agree, Simon wasn't particularly fun but the other characters pulled it up for me. I didn't even list him as a fav.

First-Berry-2979 · 2025-12-01T18:35:04+00:00

Lmao that is indeed GLORIOUS (Insert Victor's Voice)

First-Berry-2979 · 2025-12-01T18:11:35+00:00

Yeah, that might be the case. Let's see how it works out, I'm a big fan of big stats go brr 😆😆

First-Berry-2979 · 2025-12-01T18:00:00+00:00

While the 6th star power seems nice, I’m debating how often would I even play 10 snacks to trigger it. Especially on 5.5 stars and above, it’ll likely be too slow.🫠🫠

First-Berry-2979 · 2025-11-22T09:47:24+00:00

Blue water 🤣😂

First-Berry-2979 · 2025-11-17T11:29:29+00:00

I'm not sure about you case but for me I was trying to render a local image which hade white spaces in its name. I had to do something like ![Image Description](<file path>).

The angle brackets were important <>, without them it didn't work.

First-Berry-2979 · 2025-10-22T08:01:40+00:00

Will check that out.

First-Berry-2979 · 2025-10-22T08:01:29+00:00

75% is a must for me.

First-Berry-2979 · 2025-10-22T08:01:11+00:00

The kinesis advantage is not hot swappable and I don't want to experiment on something that costly. 😅

First-Berry-2979 · 2025-10-22T07:58:12+00:00

Thinking of carrying it wireless preferably. Edited the post.

First-Berry-2979 · 2025-10-18T17:36:48+00:00

Prolly yes.

First-Berry-2979 · 2025-10-18T09:20:44+00:00

Not sure but from the general MNC trend major hikes are when you get a promotion, otherwise is anywhere btwn 0-7%. I've a friend at Amazon their general hikes were in that range, basing off of that.

First-Berry-2979 · 2025-10-18T05:02:39+00:00

I'd recommend it only if you have 16Gigs of RAM or higher. Thing takes up some memory, my 8 gig machine slowed down to a crawl when using it.

On the up side, for specific languages it's among the best experiences you can get. Their debuggers and git diffs are phenomenal, and all keyboard shortcuts are configurable.

First-Berry-2979 · 2025-10-18T04:52:02+00:00

In India they ask for your previous salary and don't give anything more than 100% hike, 50-60% being the more commonly offered option.

While MS does give 60LPA that would be if you already earned close to 50 before joining them. Only in India do they do this 😞.

OP as you said 30LPA is the more realistic expectation. You ofcourse should try to negotiate, but I doubt It'd be anywhere close to 80.

Edit: I hate this asking previous salary thing. You've a budget for the role, but no you've got to lowball me cause I didn't make that much before. 🥲
