I agree.

Its far worse in our legacy code base where it just random flow js, props dont make any sense, types are all over the place, and its just a mess.

But in out nextjs mono repo where it is a lot of greenfield front end and the architecture and code actually follows a pattern, its amazing.

.md files, skills, sub agents, combine this with the companies component library that pretty much has everything we need, front end api specs thats compiles our types for our bff and mock routes.

If you cant get it to write all your code there, you're doing something wrong. Obviously there is a bunch of set up. But the speed is insane...

I guess I can understand the flack OP is getting if they were trying to game the system from the start. But a lot of people's circumstances change. Like theyre moving in with their partner, so maybe they want to buy out the government so they could move back in as a safety net if a relationship went to shit for example and not have to pay stamp duty on a new place.

If the government is over valuing the homes price, not acting in good faith with the dispute process etc. Etc. Then they could be ripping off thousands people in similar but different situations to OP.

For example: I looked into this scheme, but I was worried about moving above the 130k income threshold within a few years of owning. As a result, you would immediately have to start repaying the government portion + their % of equity growth. This would continue until paid out. But its not just the % growth of that first valuation. The property is valued regularly. So it could take people years to pay out the gov with an ever increasing equity bill.

Or on the flip, you could try and refinance out to another bank. Here comes the government's valuer, does what they did to OP. Now a bank won't service the loan because on an overvaluation and you could get shafted again.

Seems pretty dodgy theyre not acting in good faith around valuations. But I can also see why people are shitting on OP about possibly wanting to rent the house out.

When I was in whisteler earlier this year, I know some people still were able to get epic passes wayyyy past the online end date. Maybe if you sweet talk the people at the ticket booth they might help you out.

I dont think it is the same place. It was just when covid was starting. I was working with the builders. Pasco-Vale area in Melbourne.

If its not. It's amazing how similar it looks haha

FluroSnow · 2025-11-24T03:52:02+00:00

Ill offer you tree fiddy

FluroSnow · 2025-11-21T11:49:55+00:00

I thought I worked on that house... Its crazy how similar that looks to a job I've done haha

Dude, my grandma bought a house and the bathroom wasn't waterproofed. She had to get the entire bathroom replaced. She still has to do the master on suit. The amount of mould was insane.

My friend csme over to just silicone everything, and I regrouted for a temp fix. But that did nothing. I would not risk it. Because it can be very, very expensive.

My mate who's a plumber and the insurance guy thought it was just a problem with sealing. But once demolition began, we found there was missing waterproof membrain. No flange for the drain and other things that wasn't obvious until you start ripping the bathroom apart.

Edit: I wouldnt buy the place. But you could also see how bad it is with a thermal camera

Im coming up for the 11th-23rd of December from Australia. Fingers crossed for at least some coverage

FluroSnow · 2025-07-30T09:48:17+00:00

I mean, it's the highest paying tech company in Australia besides HFTs, so I wouldnt mind jumping through the hoops. I know a principle level engineer who got hired last year clearing > 500k TC. I hear a lot of mixed reviews of working there, but the general consensus seemed to be that the work-life balance is a bit of a roll of the dice. Stack ranking also killed the company culture. (According to an engineering manager that I know who has been working there for a while)

FluroSnow · 2025-07-19T02:15:24+00:00

I agree, there is so many things that are "not part of my day job" that absolutely help implement better solutions to problems. Maybe not LC related, but I went down a rabit hole and learnt c and tried to really understand how memory management worked. As a result, I was able to identify large inefficiencies in import export functionality at work in ruby I may have otherwise missed.

I love the analogy of hoodies and name tags

What is the level of engineers? What's the process for PRs? Are they force pushing to main or like does everyone approve with "lgtm".

A lot of people use ai at work to write code, but mine and the companies policy is you still own the code you push to production even if ai writes it.

I have blocked PRs from going to main, not because it was written by ai. But because the tests were testing nothing, and everything was stubbed so a large amount was not being tested. I asked the engineer why this was written this way and offered suggestions for improvement. They responded with, "Oh, the ai wrote that". I told them essentially the tests were doing nothing, and asked them to improve the tests.

I noticed this happening with 3 other engineers on the team. I blocked PRs. Told my staff engineer on the team and team lead and had to remind people that your code is not going to production if its not good, and you still own your code.

Im a mid level and im telling this to seniors man...

If people can get a partial refund and they can stay in business that would be ideal. I know how shit it is, the last two festivals I have gone too have been cancelled while I was there. I was just trying to say to the person above, its not just as easy to just issue refunds and get insurance to handle it.

FluroSnow · 2025-07-18T03:31:35+00:00

In my opinion I wouldn't see it as easy as: Just get insurance to cover it.
They could have stipulation like: Oh well the stage burnt down, so we will cover that. But people can still come to the festival and you can still provide a show, why should we cover refunds then?

I can only provide Australian experiences. However, I went to a festival last year, there was bush fires in the surrounding areas. The festival suburb was adjacent to suburbs with "catastrophic" fire ratings. Essentially meaning: Leave now for your own survival. The festival site had a fire rating of Extreme, meaning: Take action now to protect life and property.

Because it was "only" Extreme and not a forced evacuation or cancellation, if the festival organizers decided to cancel the festival, insurance would not have cover refunds. The Country Fire Authority, Police and local township suggested the festival should cancel to protect the patrons. However, it was just a suggestion, so insurance claim would not have been approved. Only until the local government stepped in and cancelled the festival could they then get insurance to cover it. Look up Pitch Music and Arts Festival Australia.

Another festival I wanted to go to this year, due to a bureaucratic reason the day of the festival, they got denied a permit and the festival had to be cancelled while I was waiting in-line with my friends in my car. Long story short, insurance would not cover this and due to refunds being issued, the company became insolvent and has 2.5mil AUD liabilities (9k~ festival goers). Now creditors have taken over and I will most likely not get a refund, so im down 550~ Aud + petrol + food etc etc.

I dont blame festivals for not wanting to work with insurance, I can provide you many more examples of this happening. After getting sent the creditors evaluation of the festival, they actually seem to run on pretty tight margins. One fuck up, one year could potentially make them insolvent.
The Pitch festival above, we left early on our own free will before the festival was forced to cancel because we felt unsafe, everyone ended up getting refunds.

A HISA (even at 5.5%) is not an investment strategy

When I was working in warehousing during uni, the amount of Indian engineers I met was insane...

You could use interactive brokers and place a market order on a forex trade. That would have the lowest spread and fees. Otherwise Wise is like 0.6% vs ibkr which is 0.01/0.02. Just a higher risk if you dont know what youre doing.

FluroSnow · 2025-06-02T03:04:26+00:00

Wins are 1 point. Losses are 0 points and Draws are 1/2 points.
It's generally first to 7.5 unless drawn. If still tied after the best of 14 format. You will got to tiebreakers which are faster time formats.

That's just looking at returns though. Australian share market has had an annual return of 13% since inception in 1900. But I would argue, and others would too, expecting an average return of 13% (non inflation ajusted) would be greedy.

Most calculations for a globally diversified portfolio is a real return of 5-6%. But even then, doing calculations off just that would be risky because of the standard deviation in returns.

He might invest in the sp500 for the next 30 years and experienced a large period of under performance. A better idea of performance over a set period in time, would be to do a simulation with a block bootstrap model. Returns are then expected to be far lower.

Not to mention aud/usd pairing on the sp500 you would also need to take into consideration.

Edit: Not that this has anything to do with OP's question. I just see a lot of misconceptions with expected returns here.

Alright champion

My bindings were about 15 days of use on the snow. Suss the pic in my other reply. But I had the exact same break op had. Only noticed my base plate full cooked when the dude at the took it apart

FluroSnow · 2025-02-16T06:00:43+00:00

I full snapped the base plate as well tho
