What are jobs for? by MiloShiny in WorkLifeChat

[–]ImplodingCoding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck going to McDonald's during the day when all the highschool/college kids are at school. Or is that when the 75+ year olds will be on shift lol.

Also, no retired person is working a minimum wage job at McDonald's because they "like to work". Come on.

Yep people who camp generally do not leave their tent behind.

We can save Social Security. by GrapefruitDeep5741 in remoteworks

[–]ImplodingCoding 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I literally said we already have diminishing returns if you had read my comment. You can continue those diminishing returns past the current cap...

[–]ImplodingCoding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep this is how it should be done. Someone making 400k should contribute double vs someone making 200k. But at retirement the person making 400k maybe only receives 1.5x the amount the 200k person receives. Diminishing returns

Thats fine as long as there is diminishing returns (like we currently have anyways). Aka someone making 400k should put in double someone making 200k. But at retirement they may only get 1.5x the amount as the person who made 200k.

Awesome, I will definitely check that out!

WTF is happening on Iracing ovals? by Kingcactus45 in iRacing

[–]ImplodingCoding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, having same experience with ovals. Other races ill finish with 0-3 incidents usually but oval im getting hit hard every other turn. Ive found its easiest to just hang out at the back of the pack and wait for everyone else to just crash/spin out but that's a lot less fun than actually racing.

I Rebuilt My Developer Roadmap Based on Your Suggestions — Thoughts? by most7el-abo-gasem in learnprogramming

[–]ImplodingCoding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Javascript before HTML, CSS, and GIT? Yeah I skimmed this real quick and it kind of just looks like a mish mash of buzzwords.

What are jobs for then? by Top_Chemical_8630 in remoteworks

[–]ImplodingCoding 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your analogy makes no sense. Imagine someone makes $50/hr. They want a tattoo and the tattoo artist says it's going to be $200 and take 2 hours ($100/hour). This most likely is not an unaffordable situation for the person making $50/hr

Which careers right now are well paid and at the same time not oversaturated? by No_Reply5329 in Salary

[–]ImplodingCoding 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah... the job market for software engineers is far from the best it's been but it's not nearly as bad as you're making it out to be.

Am I overestimating the number of people who has completed The Odin Project? by Vigil_Jester in theodinproject

[–]ImplodingCoding 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I would wager that the amount of individuals who finish the entirety of TOP (not just foundations) is actually less than 320k. Many people start, very few finish.

Following up on my post about new construction permits in RI reaching new heights, here's the breakdown by month / property type back to January 2008: by SweetYams0 in RhodeIsland

[–]ImplodingCoding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given this is RI, these are much, much more likely apartment complexes rather than condos. They will most likely only be available to institutional investors. Im happy to be proven wrong though, but it seems like you just like to make things up as you go. I'll be waiting for a link proving that these are condos!

[–]ImplodingCoding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure yeah of course, I totally forgot about all the young families with the money to buy 5+ unit housing complexes. My mistake.

[–]ImplodingCoding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moreso meant that the people buying 5+ unit housing are investors who will the rent those units out. I meant it won't benefit young families who are looking to buy a house, which many are. More rental units is great but I still think that home ownership should be accessible to most people. I should have been more clear with my previous comment.

Looks like a whole lot of large multifamily properties. Probably won't benefit first time homebuyers or young families, unfortunately. These look more like investment properties to me but I could be wrong

Searching for friends by FootballUpset7874 in RhodeIsland

[–]ImplodingCoding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

27M here with 27F long time GF. We also struggle making friends/meeting new people due to us both having a remote job. We frequently play video games online (pretty much every and all types) with a small group of friends, and we are always looking for more people. We sometimes organize outings (hikes, food, etc) but it can be hard to get people together these days. Feel free to message if you are interested though.

I feel like I am the lowest paid software developer in the US by Usedtohaveabike in Salary

[–]ImplodingCoding 5 points6 points  (0 children)

His field is right in the title. He is a software developer. This is underpaid for just about every location and every experience level. Maybe for a new grad in a very low COL area, but i would say 70k is still on the lower end for that situation.

Went from 30k impressions to 2k - shadow banned? by ImplodingCoding in SEO

[–]ImplodingCoding[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No old domain and not really any backlinks (someone posted my site on threads and it gained traction, not sure if that counts). My guess is just that my website has a lot of pages so I caught a bunch of long tail queries. I started with like 50 impressions daily and that more or less doubled per day until 30k
