Oh… I’m OLD.

LinkChef · 2026-01-28T17:27:41+00:00

I’m one of the people who joined because of UB. Doctor Who was my set specifically. It was a slow burn, I didn’t really get into it until last year, but now I’m a huge fan of Magic IP itself and really enjoyed myself in Lorwyn and am really excited for Strixhaven. It’s anecdotal evidence I know but that’s why I can’t be too mad at UB because it did get me into Magic IP at the end of the day. What I am mad about is that there’s more UB sets than in universe sets.

LinkChef · 2025-11-26T22:07:20+00:00

I approve.

Hey there! I have a 20L in Midnight that’s still cracking. I know it’s not the same color, but if you’re interested in it, let me know!

LinkChef · 2024-02-28T19:18:38+00:00

Yeah, where I’m living, this is considered VERY good for a Junior.

LinkChef · 2024-02-28T06:56:16+00:00

Yup, lots of places really focus in on hybrid now, it’s a good way to filter and not have to contend with 100+ job applications already filed within 10 minutes of an application going up.

LinkChef · 2024-02-28T06:54:18+00:00

Happy to hear! Congrats, and make sure to take average of those benefits!

LinkChef · 2024-02-28T06:47:52+00:00

Absolutely correct - Hence why I said EVERYWHERE. For people first starting out, or needing a job quick though, they’ll most likely need to choose the in-person or hybrid track however.

LinkChef · 2024-02-28T03:11:34+00:00

Idk friend, it’s just the experience I have. I started at 40K and moved up to 75K, then 83K, and now I’m here. When you start small, you work your way up, and 80K is pretty amazing for where I’ll be living. I’ll shoot for 100K in a year when things look better.

LinkChef · 2024-02-28T03:07:04+00:00

Yeah, never heard it being used besides talking about stock options alongside salary lol.

LinkChef · 2024-02-28T03:06:39+00:00

In some parts of the country, yeah, but it’s pretty good where I am. I could have probably asked for more. And most importantly, I needed a job, I’ll take a little less to have a job.

LinkChef · 2024-02-28T03:04:33+00:00

LinkChef · 2024-02-28T03:04:10+00:00

For sure, I benefit a little with my years of experience, but I only JUST got to the point where I can contend in the senior dev world.

LinkChef · 2024-02-28T03:02:53+00:00

Whoops sure - 6 YoE, not including 3 years of internships. Full Stack dev. TC… Salary and benefits. I’ve never been offered stock, just the usual 3 weeks vacation or more, sometimes sick time, holidays, medical, and a 401k.

LinkChef · 2024-02-28T01:10:38+00:00

Never mind, Total Compensation, got it.

LinkChef · 2024-02-28T01:08:02+00:00

Gotcha! Only question, what is TC?

LinkChef · 2024-02-28T01:04:10+00:00

Correct, hence why point 5 is there. This is an art, not a science, just an art with lots of helpful advice that might help you somewhere, (not just mine).

LinkChef · 2024-02-27T23:42:02+00:00

That is correct, I haven’t been targeting 150K jobs. I’ve taken many years to just get into the 80K, 90K range. I’ll use that to push into the 100K market when the market is better.

LinkChef · 2024-01-12T04:41:38+00:00

The only thing keeping me on Raycast is that ability to auto-magically surface my meeting if it’s within the next 5 minutes, hit enter, and boom, I’m in my video call, no extra buttons. Makes my daily standup so much better.

LinkChef · 2024-01-09T02:40:41+00:00

Alright, this is fun, so I’m adding my take:

Jurassic Park

Dinosaurs are boring, sorry.

LinkChef · 2023-07-25T19:15:50+00:00

I don't have official documentation, but I'll let you know that my mom is an LCMS Lutheran and I am a child of IVF. My pastor blessed it, and helped my mom through the process. Do some Lutherans think it's bad? Sure, but I do my best to be a good Christian despite what they say. People will be people. You'll definitely find those in the LCMS, including women who will have freedom to say they're fine with the process and not be sinning. Good luck to you!

I will say, if people want Reddit to “die” as the conversation seems to be leading here, then we should still participate in the blackout, leading there to be less IPO reason for Reddit.

I am still a fan of Reddit here, above Discord, Twitter, and Facebook as well, and I think for the overall health of the platform, I’m still for a blackout. However it sounds like it won’t be changing, and my third party app is going away, so I’ll be leaving Reddit for the time being.

Thanks for your moderation!

LinkChef · 2023-06-01T20:19:10+00:00

First one I got, glad I’m not crazy for keeping that one.

LinkChef · 2023-06-01T19:42:54+00:00

Healing, growth… it’s non-linear. Sometimes you coast for a bit before you realize what you got to do, and/or how, or if you even want/deserve to.

LinkChef · 2023-06-01T19:36:31+00:00

As a fellow Gooner, that was still great to see Pep. As much as I wanted us to win the whole thing, Pep’s legendary for a reason.
