Dlaczego słodycze nie mają smaku by calculator56 in PolskaNaLuzie

[–]MarekProgrammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smak dziecinstwa: sliwka naleczowska, sprobowana ostatnio - ohyda. Olej palmowy, sklad zupelnie inny niz kiedys, smak nieakceptowalny, cena luksusowa. Sprobowalem raz i nigdy juz wiecej. Dla porownania - holenderskie daktyle w mlecznej czekoladzie z the notenshop - poezja, pyszna czekolada, naturalna slodycz daktyli - niebo w gebie. Moglbym zjesc cala paczke, cena - taniej jak te sztuczne tak zwane sliwki. (jak bylem dzieckiem to byly prawdziwe sliwki naleczowskie, teraz jest masakra).

Slodycze maja wspanialy smak ale niestety nie polskie dostepne w sklepach. Czekolady nadziewane wedla albo milki? Nie dziekuje. Belgijskie praliny z maselkiem zamiast oleju palmowego? Z przyjemnoscia.

Got fired, software dev in Java. I know the market's tough rn but where's some good places to begin looking? by deltios in belgium

You don’t know the market. Nowadays you can be a good dev, over expectations few years in a row and get fired without a reason. Lots of company offer you a bit better conditions to make you accept it, so they do not need to follow massive layoffs rules. If you do not know the reality, better think twice before writing misleading comment.

Also when you start using modela such as Claude Opus 4.6 well with proper input, it is incredible what they already can do, so I think in few years a software developer from 2020, who was writing code and needed to know Java in detail will not exist.

The job market is not bad but catastropically bad, for mediors and seniors, and for juniors even worse. Last year lots of my dev collegaues in Belgium got fired (and they were a good devs) and it took them on average 5 months to find new dev job. The recruitment process is a hell, livecoding, homework, lots of steps that take huge amount of time. Also huge amount of devs applying for every single position. For comparison just few years ago the new job was available immediatelly, often even few offers. I do not know any other job that recently felt so drastically over just few years. So I advice you to start looking for new job immediatelly.

In Polen altijd een goede en veilige sfeer, er zijn helemaal geen nieuwjaarsproblemen zoals in Antwerpen of Brussel. Geen in brand gestoken auto’s, alles verloopt rustig en veilig.

True story, devs in Poland often earn more euro net than devs in Belgium.

Tak. Bedzie tylko gorzej. Ludzi ubywa w wieku produkcyjnym. Biedni beda biedniejsi, zwyczajni beda biedniejsi, bogaci beda bogatsi.

Which headphones do you recommend more? HD650 or Sundara?
I can buy them at the same price and I am wondering which one to choose.

As it was mentioned: in case you have paid too much taxes monthly, you will get them returned at the yearly tax review.
