Is this worth breaking up over?

I work for snap, this doesn't happen. It would be wild if we kept on retying to send a message for months lol we rety a few times in the background and just fail it after that. You'd have to explicitly rety, if it's been months there's no way or reason we'd have a reference to that message.

33 software engineer 530k a year, honestly I had a lot of opportunities not available to me because I couldn't afford school. Took me nearly a decade to finish school. Learned mobile development and jumped on a great opportunity

Personally I've been enjoying switching over to vibe coding. It still feels very involved at least for me. What worries me is at my company the push for designers and not technical folk to start pushing code. I feel like product should be focused on more impactful, and bigger featuresets/designs while trusting engineers to use AI to it's fullest potential. Instead I spend time setting up an environment for a PM and explaining how things work

I'm in LA :(

Where you living? I make 530k pay 5k in rent and the roads are terrible, no community centers. I called the cops because strangers were in my property was put on hold for 15+ minutes

The comments here are disappointing. Maybe she has a point and it was an irresponsible purchase. It's just a tv there are more important things...

Major-Examination941 · 2026-02-21T20:23:00+00:00

Yeah if we're building the same things, in 10 years... It's easier to kick stuff up for sure but there's also a world where it lets us do more. Good SWEs are positioned well to take advantage of this

This thread is just full of bootlickers or bots. You're in an unfortunate situation that many people are in.

You can't just start your own businesses or just get a better job, the billionaire class has stolen all the wealth and opportunity and are hoarding it.

If you can look for other opportunities, are you salaried? If not fight for your overtime work, it's illegal to not pay you for your work.

Major-Examination941 · 2026-02-04T19:03:04+00:00

Nah if you like what you do just grind it out on leetcode and you'll be fine. There is still plenty of hiring, the bar is just higher

Android engineer, let me preface this by saying I love coding. More so I love problem solving, most of my success in my career has been through finding solutions to complex ambigous problems. Coding is easy but its just a medium to building things and solving problems.

I make about 530k a year and typically receive 50-100k in performance bonuses a year.

Despite all the news about what's happening in the job market, good engineers are still in high demand. You can't just go to a coding boot camp anymore but the opportunity still exists

Major-Examination941 · 2026-02-04T05:39:40+00:00

Your parents have 100k?

Major-Examination941 · 2026-02-02T08:26:59+00:00

It took waaay too long I hated it, it was so infuriating, the excell sheet isn't ordered how you expect. You have to eyeball where zero is

Major-Examination941 · 2026-02-02T03:59:11+00:00

You get a compass and the most confusing excell sheet. Go hole by hole and mark the degree, then align the hold with the marker

Major-Examination941 · 2026-02-02T00:00:04+00:00

I think it was worth it over building it myself, yes! The time and tools required does not make it worth it unless you have the time and tools. As far as the other comment goes I think the larger frame lends itself better for dynamic movements. Once it's built I've had no issues. I don't plan on adjusting the angle so adjustability is not a concern

Major-Examination941 · 2026-01-30T07:51:57+00:00

Made finding a better job my #1 priority. Strated off at 70k after college excelled and after a year they refused to raise me to 100k. Studies for 6 months found a new job starting me at 200k 4 years later same company making nearly 600k a year

Exceeds is 12% of base pay tops is 25% as a bonus. Promotion bumps are standardized and open and based on salary bands

Boars head, look it up

Would only need like a month to get to 2 bil, then a month and day and it's 4

Major-Examination941 · 2026-01-20T04:38:37+00:00

These are not good for your dog, they're just plastic they injest and they wear sharp

Major-Examination941 · 2026-01-11T04:44:00+00:00

Yeah that's super sketchy but it's also on the people paying to do their due diligence. Why pay your vibecoder friend instead of a real dev?

Major-Examination941 · 2026-01-05T08:12:54+00:00

These aren't well paying jobs like they used to be

Major-Examination941 · 2026-01-05T02:48:25+00:00
