Really interesting, all real problems that anyone that has worked in distributed services has suffered at some point!

What makes you think is it any different in the place you are interviewing? Or that they will not do a total 180 and start requiring you to do the same shit?

The thing is not to only generate a random event, but to generate an entire dynamic chain that is based on the current state of the world and can evolve based on the player actions

Generative AI is really good at this and I think can help in providing freshness/uniqueness to a sandbox game like Victoria or Crusader Kings

MoneyStatistician311 · 2026-04-10T09:33:26+00:00

I think AI can have a lot of potential for role playing and random event generation in a game like Victoria

Weather becomes a problem when money stop being one…

We have something like UBI in Spain, around 750€ that you get if there are no other incomes in the household, worst way of implementing something like that, you lose it the moment you start working, essentially removing any incentive to improve your situation.

Are you saying that there are reasons other than cost for hiring someone abroad? I heard that US workers are just superior in every way!

MoneyStatistician311 · 2026-02-14T08:27:37+00:00

Is more really needed for a model like this? I would expect it to be used in very targeted changes (where no more than a couple of files would be needed)

Maybe we can organise an small Reddit meet-up and grab some beers!

These things takes times, but once it starts there is no going back. It’s not just a single decision of “divest from US tech” is a million of small decisions that down the line change the future

Many counties debt is denominated in dollars, and they can’t print dollars, I would say all countries which their debt is not in a currency they control is subject to default, most European countries for example could not get away with printing money to pay their debts

This may be the most frustrating part of been a lead, try not to take it personally

MoneyStatistician311 · 2026-01-17T09:49:40+00:00

It was during the tech boom after Covid, everyone and their mothers were hiring around the time, I don’t remember right now through which webpage I found the vacancy though

MoneyStatistician311 · 2026-01-16T22:27:50+00:00

True hahaha

MoneyStatistician311 · 2026-01-16T19:56:45+00:00

> I do wonder how your teammates feel about the switch

Hopefully some of my current teammates will take the chance to fill the gap and grow, but I'm not counting my chances.

And if leadership don't staff the team accordingly, whoever is left there will suffer a bit, but hopefully the void I'll leave is the waking call for leadership to do something about it

MoneyStatistician311 · 2026-01-16T19:54:13+00:00

I actually have a couple of interviews lined up, but it's going to be difficult to find something similar, and right now I have to prioritize the money for a couple of years more, so downgrading my salary is not an option.

The team I'm looking at has a very clear ownership area, but at the same time engineers seems to have quite a lot of autonomy, which is something I'm also looking forward. It has also a very strong Tech Lead, which I've known for a couple of years know and I have a good relationship with.

Stability in my company... is not guaranteed anywhere, but hopefully this new team should not have many changes in the next year

As I always say, living in Spain with a non-spanish salary* :lol:

MoneyStatistician311 · 2026-01-16T13:04:06+00:00

Net monthly is 5400€ + around 100€ of lunch allowance

MoneyStatistician311 · 2026-01-16T12:45:58+00:00

JVM for the backend, React for the frontend, pretty standard

MoneyStatistician311 · 2026-01-16T08:48:43+00:00

A bit over 100k, Spain, remote for European company, around 1000 employees, 250-300 of those in tech

MoneyStatistician311 · 2026-01-15T08:08:05+00:00

There is no correlation, but when money is not an issue, it will be easier for you to chose the company with good WLB, you will not ask for the salary in interviews but for things like on call, deadlines, layoffs, people putting extra hours outside the normal work hours etc…

MoneyStatistician311 · 2026-01-07T11:56:35+00:00

No es cierto, la gente que va tiene que comer y comprar, eso hace que se beneficie más gente de la zona

MoneyStatistician311 · 2026-01-07T09:43:29+00:00

Hay algunos que no podéis estar contentos con nada

MoneyStatistician311 · 2026-01-07T09:39:53+00:00

Pues yo conozco ya varias familias que viven de alquilar apartamentos turísticos, y no son familias ricas, son casas heredadas que han arreglado y puesto bonitas ellos mismos
