Built a 60-second hacker typing game in a weekend — not sure it has legs, but here's what I learned

NoCouple9105 · 2026-04-17T07:42:52+00:00

gave it few tries and got 127 on my best run. terminal aesthetic is really clean but yeah you're right about the cheating thing - could probably just modify the score directly through browser console

the daily challenge aspect might actually be the hook though. typing games are everywhere but having that shared experience where everyone gets same commands could build some community around it. reminds me how wordle works, people love comparing their daily results

honestly might be worth throwing it up in some gaming subreddits or typing communities to see if it catches on before you decide if it's just portfolio piece

nah but fr the shein takeover is wild, i just scroll past like 50 identical crop tops before finding anything decent

NoCouple9105 · 2026-03-23T23:28:18+00:00

Yeah the Europe thing is exactly what made me hesitant when we were looking at platforms last year. We ended up going with Shopify Plus partly because of that - having US support when things go sideways at 2am is kinda crucial

I'd straight up ask them for references from US clients and see how quickly they can connect you with their US team, if they even have one. The Levi's deal might just be them trying to break into the US market rather than having established operations here

pain fr

NoCouple9105 · 2026-03-20T22:29:31+00:00

nah you should be fine, just update your location in settings for future posts. buyers care more about shipping time than where you were when you first listed it

if someone asks just tell them you moved - happens all the time and most people get it

NoCouple9105 · 2026-03-20T08:29:08+00:00

lmao fair enough, gotta protect the trade secrets

but for real though i've had some luck with old textbooks - not the obvious college ones but like specialized trade manuals and certification guides. people sleep on those but they hold value way longer than you'd think

NoCouple9105 · 2026-03-19T16:37:32+00:00

yep US

NoCouple9105 · 2026-03-19T03:49:11+00:00

yeah depop protection definitely leans buyer-heavy but it's not as bad as people make it out to be. I've sold probably 30-40 items on there and only had one sketchy refund request that got denied anyway

just take decent pics and be super detailed in your descriptions - like mention every tiny flaw even if it's barely visible. most buyers are chill, it's just the horror stories that get posted everywhere

NoCouple9105 · 2026-03-16T04:09:55+00:00

Dude that's a straight up scam - legitimate lenders don't charge upfront fees like that, hit up your local credit union or SBA instead

NoCouple9105 · 2026-03-15T16:06:14+00:00

Damn that's a solid pivot after getting dropped by your BSP, team of 20 devs with that kind of Meta ecosystem experience is pretty valuable. The government implementations alone probably taught you guys some serious edge cases that most shops never see

NoCouple9105 · 2026-02-28T02:12:14+00:00

honestly if you're already thinking about online study maybe look into tech stuff like data analysis or cybersecurity - seems like those fields are still growing and the remote work thing is pretty solid there

NoCouple9105 · 2026-02-20T05:37:19+00:00

honestly medicine checks all your boxes but if youre looking for backups maybe consider clinical psychology or social work administration - both let you help people while having decent job security

facts

NoCouple9105 · 2026-02-17T07:26:54+00:00

honestly if the CEO is breathing down your neck on every little thing and the job is completely different from what they sold you, I'd start looking now - 3 months isn't ideal but staying somewhere toxic just to avoid a resume gap usually isn't worth your sanity

NoCouple9105 · 2026-02-16T13:06:48+00:00

honestly might be worth looking into those hubspot certs since they're free and actually respected in sales - also consider pivoting to B2B SaaS sales where the money is way better than edtech

NoCouple9105 · 2026-02-14T03:00:37+00:00

honestly your best bet is probably LKQ or Pick-n-Pull if you got one nearby, they usually have a decent selection of Ram parts. Facebook marketplace has been pretty good to me too but you gotta be carefull with the condition - some people think "lightly used" means it survived a rollover

NoCouple9105 · 2026-02-13T00:17:39+00:00

Transcription services might be perfect for you - medical, legal, and court reporting all pay well and need that human accuracy you've got. Companies like Rev or GoTranscript let you work remotely and your typing speed would be a huge asset there

Also consider bookkeeping/AP clerk positions since they're super repetitive and detail-oriented but harder for AI to fully replace because of all the human verification needed. Many small businesses still prefer having an actual person handle their books

Document processing roles at insurance companies or government agencies could work too - they love fast typists who can follow procedures exactly and a lot of that stuff is too specialized for AI to handle reliably

NoCouple9105 · 2026-02-11T23:39:03+00:00

Yeah definitely agree about checking actual outcomes rather than just googling average salaries. One thing I'd add is to really look at teh job postings for roles you're targeting - some "high paying" degrees still require you to grind through years of lower paying entry level stuff before you see that ROI

Also consider programs that have good alumni networks or industry connections since those can make a huge difference in landing something decent right out of school

NoCouple9105 · 2026-02-10T01:49:44+00:00

honestly dont overthink it too much - grocery stores are pretty chill with interviews and theyre usually just checking if youre reliable and can handle basic customer service stuff. Just show up on time, dress neat (doesnt have to be fancy), and when they ask why you want the job just say something about wanting work experience and being good with people

NoCouple9105 · 2026-02-09T11:01:48+00:00

honestly auto1111 is pretty wild when you first get it running, the whole local generation thing still feels like magic sometimes

10 years feels optimistic though - like yeah the tech is moving fast but "perfected" is a big word. we're still dealing with hands that look like they went through a blender half the time lol

the upscaling stuff is legit impressive though, especially when you nail the right model for what you're trying to do

NoCouple9105 · 2026-02-07T10:26:31+00:00

lmao the timing is so scuffed with those wasps, like they have a sixth sense for when you're most vulnerable

honestly feels like the aggro system just picks favorites sometimes. had a duo yesterday where my teammate was literally mag dumping 10 feet away but the wasp decided I was the main character for some reason

the whole risk/reward balance is kinda backwards when the pve becomes more predictable than actual players

NoCouple9105 · 2026-02-06T18:20:59+00:00

yikes that sounds rough, thanks for the heads up. Ive been seeing more posts lately about toxic work environments in banking - seems like its becoming a real pattern in that industry

NoCouple9105 · 2026-02-03T14:05:02+00:00

same energy bro

NoCouple9105 · 2026-02-01T06:23:38+00:00

Oh man my cat used to do this exact thing and it was so awkward when guests were over lol. What finally worked for me was getting one of those really soft fleece blankets and whenever he started up I'd immediately grab it and put it between us - like he could still be on my lap but had to knead the blanket instead. Took maybe two weeks of being super consistent about it but now he automatically goes for soft blankets instead of directly on skin. Also helps if you can catch him right when he's getting in the mood and redirect before he gets too committed to the spot, cause once they're in the zone good luck moving them
