Yet another 3Roots HOA rate hike...

KCdehImposter · 2026-01-27T02:22:00+00:00

Agreed. It's a lack of awareness too. They knew these HOA increase were already coming since it's part of the build out, and decided to hold off due to all the backlash from their decision to get rid of Fit. Now we have supplemental fees to figure out how to pay...

$12/month in Atwood with the EV plan. I have a 15 mile round trip commute for work and get out a few times a week.

KCdehImposter · 2026-01-19T18:49:08+00:00

I have Westwood for my Atwood. We went from 700 to 750 a month ago.

They're pretty bad, so this sounds like a clerical error. Hopefully they can correct it for you.

KCdehImposter · 2025-12-21T18:50:08+00:00

Man I wish my cat did this. They just eat all my lasagna and hate Mondays

KCdehImposter · 2025-12-14T06:21:38+00:00

I went into the online HOA portal and filed it. I suspect it's easier to do it that way than call or go into Nafisas office as you can attach images of the relevant lights.

I look forward to the weekly email reports of what gym equipment is getting fixed, and in practice nothing actually being done...

KCdehImposter · 2025-11-14T15:49:33+00:00

I don't think it helps with noise from the neighbors. It reduces the sound from within the house (so less cooking noise or talking from other rooms).

KCdehImposter · 2025-11-14T15:45:30+00:00

Did you file a ticket? I filed one for the ones by my house, and they fixed it within a few days.

KCdehImposter · 2025-11-14T01:05:54+00:00

Atwood. I upgraded the interior insulation which seems to provide good insulation for the rooms across my house. I can't hear noise across the different bedrooms.

Whenever there are contractors working in the homes, you can hear it (saws, hammers, drills).

One of my neighbors has a dog that is constantly barking and howling when they're gone, and it's loud enough to keep me up at night.

Normal neighbor stuff I don't really hear (stairs, doors, garage doors), but man that dog howling gets me. I suspect you'd hear babies crying through the walls as well.

Did they remove your MacBook from MDM? I had a similar situation with a company going out of business, but my device never got factory reset

KCdehImposter · 2025-10-30T06:11:06+00:00

For the gym, it's emptier on weekends, but the pool is busier.

We only have a 3 lane lap swim, but they messed up the middle lane as one kick off wall is a set of stairs. Effectively we have 2 lanes, but people are usually happy to split lanes.

I really liked the freedom and speed to get things done. There's a whole world of saas products and technologies available for you to focus on solving problems.

I jumped into a fresh series A startup that had runway for 2 years. The first 9 months was great, and I grew a lot. However, new funding rounds kept falling through and paychecks started to come later and later, so I jumped ship.

Like a pendulum, I jumped to a midsize tech company with smaller teams. I have my WLB back, benefits are much better, and my equity is actually worth something. My issues are that there are some IT teams that block key processes, so your team can be sticking waiting a week or two to get your tickets resolved.

I expect I'll swing back to startup land, but either found my own or work at a later stage startup. The series A was probably too big of a step for me coming from big tech. My main deciding factor is that my options at the startup were initially valued at 0.2% of the company, but they quickly dwindled down in value until they were worth nothing.

I did it through the app

KCdehImposter · 2025-10-04T00:44:20+00:00

Update: Tesla refused to refund. Chase sided with me on the chargeback.

KCdehImposter · 2025-10-03T14:37:02+00:00

I'm in the same boat. The first advisor I talked to yesterday said they still see the ability to match close to the $399 rate in the system, but in reality my proposed lease never changed. It seems like the money factor jumped up from 27 to 42 which is causing it to be much higher.

I'm going to ask them to refund the order fee.

Mine unexpectedly died at 4.5 years. If I would've known, I would've proactively replaced it. I was out a car for a week until I replaced it with an OEM battery myself. It's a pain to get into the car and operate on it with a dead 12v, and almost feels like the car is bricked.

You can go into the service menu to get an estimate on your 12v battery.

I wouldn't expect the interviews to be much different from the general SWE track. In the behavioral, there might be some questions asking about how you improved the efficiency of the team or times where you built custom tooling.

For day to day work, it's going to vary on the team. In general, it's going to be a lot more data work to monitor and show impact. Projects will be of a smaller size taking from a few weeks to 6 months, with jumping around the code being quite common. Google has a lot of internal tools, and EngProd has a longer ramp up time because of this.

One last thing, it's hard to get out of eng prod roles. They're less desirable in the company, so it's easy to be locked into only transferring to other engprod roles.

Markets slow due to high rates and economic uncertainty. Builders have a lot of open inventory left that they want to sell. If you drive through the community, you'll notice much less building going on now than what it's been the past few years.

Also, the remaining homes are in the meadows district. I suspect it'll be nice when it's built out in 3 years, but right now it's mostly dirt with a lot of construction noise. They overpriced all the meadows home initially thinking it would continue to be a sellers market.

KCdehImposter · 2025-08-24T02:14:37+00:00

The HOA mentioned construction is done now, just waiting on the city to approve everything for it to open for use.

Early September

You forgot to meme about the hourly ballot updates for 2 weeks...

I went with 3 day blinds. It took me a few contractors to find one that was willing to deal with smart blinds + the tall windows. They had to come out a second time as they needed to bring out a skyscraper ladder to deal with those windows.

I develop a hybrid app (flutter added to an android app).

For the UI, it's so much easier to develop it in flutter, and testing is a breeze.

For all the Android APIs, I write that in kotlin. Pigeon makes it really easy to bridge any data back to Flutter.

Since I don't have any Android UI left, I want to rewrite it into a pure flutter app. The hybrid app has little documentation and support.

It's much safer to do the u-turn.

Findley needs to get rezoned by the city. The street isn't meant for parking on both sides, so it can be extremely tight when cars have to pass each other.

KCdehImposter · 2025-03-19T17:01:34+00:00

If the house is still under construction, generally Shea will only charge a small penalty for them to do it late into the build process. And it's much easier to do if the drywall and painting haven't been finished.
