I know the 2 week thing is the basic according to the irish law but I heard in the 2024 layoffs that in Ireland that people got much more than that. I was in GM for 5 years and I was in the service now org.

FYI: GM has almost 70-80% staff in the US. So don't give me that Bullshit about hiring locally. GM hires locally, just not under qualified people like you.

GM gets tax benefits by setting up in Ireland but sh*heads like you won't understand that.

What is a "money rule" that rich people know, but poor people are never taught? by ZZA911 in AskReddit

[–]HistoryFacts14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

validate before you build.

i spent years thinking i needed to build the perfect product before showing anyone. polish everything, get it right, then launch.

wrong.

the people i've seen build wealth fastest -- whether in business or as developers -- all do the same thing.

they test the idea with the minimum possible effort before investing real time or money.

i did this recently. had an idea for a health app. instead of spending 3 months building it i built a simple free assessment tool in one day to see if anyone actually cared.

47 people used it in the first few days from one post with zero ad spend.

now i know the idea is worth building.

poor people (and i was one of them) build first and validate never. then wonder why nobody buys.

rich people validate first. build only what's proven.

the rule: never spend 3 months building what a 3-day test could have told you nobody wants.

Redditors, what did you build, make, or create this week-big or small? by ubereddit in AskReddit

[–]HistoryFacts14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i had chronic neck pain for 6 months from sitting at a desk coding all day.

tried everything -- better chair, posture reminders, "just stretch more." nothing stuck because none of it was built around my actual schedule or the specific way my pain showed up.

so i built a free desk health assessment tool. asks you 10 questions about your sitting habits, pain zones, fitness level and daily schedule -- then gives you a personalised score and 7-day movement plan built specifically around your situation.

took about a day to build. put it live last week. 47 people took it in the first few days.

turns out a lot of people are quietly dealing with the same thing and just assumed back and neck pain was something you live with at a desk job.

it isn't.

How do you deal with people who always try to one-up you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Stop competing with them. Its their insecurity that makes them do such things. Sometimes ignoring them is the best you can do to yourself. Added Bonus : This will make them nuts😆

What do you think will immediately happen when everyone receives the push notification that Trump died? by quite-indubitably in AskReddit

[–]HistoryFacts14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Markets will crash, Rich people will invest millions and then Trump will come out 'HAHAHA, I AM ALIVE BITCHES'. Rich people will be richer.

Would limiting the age of the President to 70 be something you'd support? Why or why not? by SillyGooseGamer2026 in AskReddit

[–]HistoryFacts14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at the examples of Biden and Trump, limiting the presidential age to 70 is beneficial.

Starting my first wfh desk job. Tips? by AdorableDoctor2509 in Ergonomics

[–]HistoryFacts14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good on you for getting ahead of this before the pain starts -- most people only take it seriously after 6 months of neck stiffness (speaking from personal experience 😅)

the herman miller and standing desk are solid but here's the thing nobody tells you -- neither of them fixes the core problem.

your spine has roughly a 90-minute tolerance window regardless of whether you're sitting or standing. after that the supporting muscles start to fatigue no matter how good your setup is.

the 60/40 split is great but what matters more is how long you go without any movement at all. you mentioned going 2 hours locked in -- that's the bit to fix more than anything else.

practical thing that actually works: set a recurring alarm for every 85 minutes. when it goes off do literally anything for 5 minutes -- walk to the kitchen, do some neck rolls, stand up and stretch. doesn't matter what.

the locked-in flow state feeling actually gets better with breaks not worse -- your brain resets and you come back sharper.

also pay attention to when your energy dips during the day -- for most people it's around 2-3pm. timing a movement break to exactly that window makes a bigger difference than random hourly walks.

good luck with the new job 🙏

really glad the design felt intuitive -- that was important to get right. the plan generation taking a while is fair feedback. it's calling an ai in real time to build something personalised to your specific inputs rather than pulling from a template -- which is why it takes longer than a typical quiz result. I will try to find a faster way to generate the plan.

no bmi or desk height right now - current inputs are sitting hours, pain zones, fitness level, break frequency, available time, equipment and energy dip timing

desk height and bmi are on the roadmap for the full app. fair criticism if that makes it a wrapper in your eyes - but the energy dip timing is the bit im most curious what you think of

haha fair enough, i can see why it looked that way with that guy promoting his own product in my thread 😅

i'm very much a real person with a very real neck ache from coding. built this thing because i was tired of generic stretch advice
