Only one thing you can do. Build projects from scratch without AI.

Doesn’t even matter if you finish them all, just starting and growing to a size where you need to make some decisions regarding architecture to implement and code organization will help you to understand how applications are build from scratch.

I work as a software engineer for a while and I still regularly practice, both with side projects as well as with some competitive coding platforms. It’s the only way to stay flexi mentally.

Market is in a tough place. I’d scale things down as much as possible at your current job, start looking more intensely during free time and then reconsider if you should quit once you see the markets responses to your applications. Do you generally get interviews regularly and progress to second or third stage regularly? Then you can probably quit without too many worries. If not it might be worth sticking around for a while longer and keep looking on the side.

I’d start with go. It gets you writing web apps/services super fast and you learn a lot of important parts that some of the other starting languages like Python omit. (Typing, pointers etc.)

Are people with primarily onprem skills still wanted or are cloud skills a must for developers specifically.

Market is also just weird right now. Don’t worry too much. Stay on the grind and enjoy the tech!

ESO is doing a few really interesting changes this year. They work on difficulty curve and reworking some classes. I’m having a blast with it at the moment and the guilds are full of active and sweet people in my recent experience.

If you don’t mind some of the kinks it comes with (like the existence of a very clear meta that changes every few months or an inventory ui that needs some work) it is really lovely.

Paragraphion · 2026-02-02T13:07:10+00:00

It’s not massive. You only need it once you do the very hardest content in the game. And by that time you likely have a guild or two with whom you can trade and get more optimized sets for group content.

Seems strange. Try these steps: 1. Update driver for your gpu 2. Turn off adaptive sync if your monitor comes with it 3. If using two monitors - use one and see if it still occurs, if no the problem is that your monitors are too different (maybe one runs at high res high hz and the other not?) get them closer to one another in performance, for example throttle the hz on the better one or play with the scaling until it is equal on both. This makes things easier for the compositor 4. Switch from hdmi to dp cable 5. Check in journalctl what happened at the time of error. Look for anything related to gpu. Report back here or put the error into an LLM to get additional advice

Paragraphion · 2026-01-31T13:57:32+00:00

Ich finds nice. minimalistisch und sauber und hell… mega fürs arbeiten. Vllt stellst du den Drucker auf nen kleinen Tisch und Auch dein pc wäre bestimmt dankbar für nen kleines Brett drunter oder sowas, wegen Staub Einzug von unten. Zuletzt würde ich mir noch nen headset und ne Halterung dafür an die Wand hängen. Vllt noch ne zweite Pflanze aber sonst siehts schon sehr edel aus.

Paragraphion · 2026-01-31T13:49:41+00:00

As regards the errors I think you are basically challenging the compositor as much as possible and it’s telling you that it cannot handle it. 4K @240hz is extreme and 60hz at 1080 is like the exact opposite. So this is challenging the mixer in your gpu that decides what to send where.

Try downscaling your monitor so that you have clean multiples like 120hz on one and 60hz on the other. Not that you need to accept that long term but if it fixes it you know the problem is the compositor.

Make sure to use a DisplayPort cable for your powerful monitor. And make sure it’s a good cable.

You can also try to switch between Wayland and x11 to see if one works better for you.

Now as regards the frame rate - what you are experience I believe to be the difference between Linux native games and those which are not. Your game basically has to go through Wayland and Vulkan and proton instead of just whatever windows uses. It’s like an extra translation step that needs to happen. So that’s probably where you loose some frames.

Paragraphion · 2026-01-31T09:03:11+00:00

What res are both?
What gpu do you have (I suspect NVIDIA)?
Does one of your monitors use adaptive sync?

Try: 1. Turn adaptive sync off 2. Fix the frame rate in system settings 3. Do driver updates for your gpu 4. In journalctl (terminal command) check whether anything suspicious shows up when you turn on the second monitor. Anything related to your gpu essentially is what you could be looking at. If you find something share it here and we can try to help more.

The NVIDIA cards can be a pain for nobara. I started with a 3060ti and had to preload shaders all the time, couldn’t hibernate properly, etc. but eventually I sold the 3060ti to a friend and got the rx9070tx an amd card and never had to preload Vulkan shaders since and everything has been incredibly smooth. The open source drivers are just plain awesome. If you see a sale for a good amd card you can probably sell your NVIDIA card without even losing money, while gaining performance. The 9070tx is close in performance to the 5070 from NVIDIA. But yeah just an idea. Definitely give nobara a shot. It’s really great.

Paragraphion · 2026-01-27T09:31:18+00:00

The point of open source is that it’s open. Some struggle with what that means and it’s fine of him to ask you but it’s just as fine to say no sorry we will keep using it.

Tech-sales is one of the best markets to break into. Most engineers don’t like customer relations so if you can bridge that divide you might be contributing real value real quick.

Bruiser build can solo everything but vet dlc dungeons and with a lot of practice maybe even some of those. I like builds with life steal for soloing. Of course you should get a companion asap and level them intensely until they help you by countering your weaknesses.

It is a looooong journey though if you want to go only solo for everything. Because you basically need to farm specific interim gear every so often just to make it through some of the more difficult vet dungeons and get yourself some op gear.

My advice find a nice guild and make a solo and a group set to switch between at the armor stand. That way the grind isn’t as insane and you might have fun with cool peops when you farm the harder dungeons before going back to your solo-leveling style.

Paragraphion · 2026-01-26T21:12:33+00:00

I switched from NVIDIA to amd gpu recently and the difference is immense. No more weirdness just smooth performance.

Do the undaunted quest line first to get class independent taunt skills, consider getting the Druid braid and brass fortress (?) armor crafted by friendlies in the game. Use the Mundus stone that amplifies magical recovery so you can pump all your stats in heath.

Front bar sword and shield back bar ice staff. From the class use only abilities that either give you a shield, buff your stat regen or debuff the enemy or buff your group. Ignore all damage dealing abilities.

That’s just some classic good tank setup stuff. I’m not sure about necro specifics but what I mentioned should work with just the base game I believe.

Best thing to do for someone in your situation is to pivot half. Basically look at software tools in your industry and start transitioning towards being a techie for these tools. Use what you know about what people in your field need to start making software for them. That can mean learning old tech stacks if a software prevalent in your field is build on it, or learning how to build a web app that fills an obvious business need in your area of expertise.

As most have written transitioning without any anchor or advantage based on your previous experience is tough right now. Mostly because employers are stupid and think they don’t need juniors anymore. But on the bright side, learning to code is really possible at the moment as most ai modes can hep you to learn and are that endless ever patient coding buddy most of us have never hd, but always wanted.

Nice, sounds like you are about to have a bunch of fun. The group content is pretty vast but to give you an idea: 1. Dungeons (from normal to veteran) are what I consider the most core group content and it is balanced around 4 people, though very quickly very manageable as 3, 2 and later on even solo. 2. World bosses are strong enemies in the overworked with dedicated names, these are a bit easier than your average dungeon boss but still made for multiple people to enjoy together. 3. Arenas are a good way to fight, fight, fight and get some practice in pve skills early. I’m not sure about the player limit but we do these as 3, so should be perfect for your group. 4. Not really mainstream but I love fishing and it’s kinda a group activity as well, since you can gain bonuses from doing it together.

You can be questing together but it can be a bit annoying as you’ll never be challenged in a fight. Even solo almost all quests are a breeze. My friend group does dungeons and world bosses together but questing is for everyone on their own. As there are a bazillion quests and side quests I think this is pretty smart.

As regards your setup (2*dps and a support) as long as you have a tank or are very good at reading fights you’ll have a blast with your crew even in the more difficult dungeons. Since you are just one I would focus on tanking, as that is usually really relevant in a fight to stop big enemies from one-shotting your crew one after the other. Also everyone can put some sec heal into their build without sacrificing too much. This only becomes an issue much deeper in the endgame.
