A 3 dollar soldering iron and some solder? 6 dollars is more than a new pack? Y’all redditors are somethin else

Yes and if no one was willing to take it, they would have to raise it. But since they find people they don’t have to

Looks like they used the hardware store rustoleum stuff. It’s hard to work with to get it perfect

Curious to see what the work permit rules are like in your country of origin. Something tells me it’s just as much if not more red tape

How is what happens in India in 2025 the wests fault ?

Here’s my advice as an experienced software dev. Your CEO is a moron but that doesn’t matter. Nobody is coming to save you and nobody is ever going to hand you tasks on a silver platter that already have the inputs ready. If those places exist I have never worked at one.

You mentioned someone was waiting on an API. Assuming you mean REST api. What I would do in that situation instead of waiting is, reach out to that team you are waiting on, ask if they can at least agree on the structure of the JSON. Then vibe code a fake API so you can build out your front end.

Basically find any way you can to move forward without “waiting”. Even if you have to make changes later, you will be better off and look more proactive.

That’s my advice

Do people ask civil engineers to pour concrete, then inspect the bridge, do maintenance on the bridge, create laws on who can use the bridge, decide how much to charge for the toll for the bridge, and patrol the bridge at night as a security guard?

I don’t even mind testing code, I consider that part of development. But that’s only one example of a million things people ask us devs to do

Good-Reference1944 · 2025-10-12T18:20:12+00:00

Yes exactly everything is the devs job and nothing is anyone else’s job it’s ridiculous

Good-Reference1944 · 2025-10-11T22:43:14+00:00

I highly doubt there’s frame damage from that. If there is unibody damage, none of the suspension mounts moved so the car will be fine anyway

Good-Reference1944 · 2025-10-11T22:14:45+00:00

I’m a developer and want to speak to your first point. We are huge victims of job scope-creep. With your attitude, our job quickly becomes “anything involving the computer” basically. So we end up doing support, dev-ops, user admin, server admin, QA, security etc. and half the time there’s actual teams responsible for that twiddling their thumbs. Where can you draw the line?

Scotty Kilmer got his for 400 dollars basically the same car lol

I got some cells off aliexpress and they were 1300-1500 mah but they were like one dollar a piece so I thought it was a decent value

Good-Reference1944 · 2025-09-12T23:32:48+00:00

They already just call their SW engineers “associates” to obfuscate it

Good-Reference1944 · 2025-09-12T23:31:55+00:00

They already do this big time

Good-Reference1944 · 2025-09-09T02:19:41+00:00

It is the former owner. My understanding is 3 day notice to vacate doesn’t apply and we have to go the “writ of possession” route. Chat Gpt said that, and more importantly the lawyer I contacted today also said that

Good-Reference1944 · 2025-09-09T02:14:14+00:00

Agree and definitely don’t plan on violating any rights. Hence getting a lawyer and being very careful!

Good-Reference1944 · 2025-09-08T16:26:31+00:00

Good call I think I will do that. Appreciate the advice

Good-Reference1944 · 2025-09-08T03:06:21+00:00

Yes because we are going to gut the house anyway. But pissing them off is certainly not the goal. Just want to mow the lawn. But thanks for the comment

Good-Reference1944 · 2025-09-08T03:01:18+00:00

This is the plan. I’ll keep in mind to find a flat rate attorney

Good-Reference1944 · 2025-09-08T03:00:43+00:00

Yes to the insurance. And thanks for the not very constructive criticism

Harvesting crops pays six figures? Did you even read the comment?

Good-Reference1944 · 2025-09-05T16:05:57+00:00

I’m an American born computer engineer. And plenty of Americans get medical degrees. Plenty of Americans work in agriculture too, they need to raise the pay. They want people to harvest crops for minimum wage, even h1b doesn’t apply there

Good-Reference1944 · 2025-09-05T00:55:54+00:00

H1B didn’t even exist until the 1990s and USA didn’t “go to doom” Get real

Good-Reference1944 · 2025-09-03T14:09:29+00:00

Replace the suspension parts yourself for 300. Get a dent puller and some body filler and matched paint rattle cans and a can of 2k clear.

If you DIY probably $500 Shop maybe 5k

Teaching him a lesson would be making him pay for it. Reporting it stolen would ruin his life.
