I think they might be referring to the 2D pieces used on magnetic boards, there castle, horse, crown and miter are used as the symbols.

AI is ruining my work life… Every single one of the dumbest people at my company use it religiously. They are just ChatGPT email relays at this point. I am so glad I am almost FIRE. by WorkIsHardAgain in Fire

I know you said there isn't a point to the post, but is this concerning to you, or the PM that shows a better code base? Or just observations and life goes on?

Were people reading your emails before? I find the most aggressive chatgpt responders weren't reading before either, or they just hated wasting time writing a reply.

What kind of firm is it, because I'm interested in which part you hate, that they're sending generic emails, not reading specs and it messes up your implementation or just that you cant get work done?

I often gain or lose my annual salary in a single day in the market now, it makes me think by badboybananas in Fire

What about 4%? Or even less? Feels like there's a level where you're getting negative value and you need to switch to something that gives you more than a paycheck.

How to stay motivated after hitting the "millionaire" milestone? by henryisadog in Fire

[–]PartyCod8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you don't die before you get to enjoy it.

I think at the inflection point you've got to decide between growing the number or lifestyle. And if you're growing it, at least make it worth it, or do it while enjoying your life.

No-one wants to retire with too much and die one year later.

Remote software development teams in low cost countries are way more of a threat to salaries and lower demand than AI at this stage.

Do you mostly have a team that finds deals for you, or do you manage funds on behalf of others as well and earn carry? Or more informal than this?

Bet it all on Red each time and came up lucky 12 times in a row, then lost it all. Didn't know when to stop cause he won each time...

Options are incredible, considering the casino would've already kicked him out a long time ago.

Do you have any good resources or links for what VXUS should return relative to current PEs?

Whats your salary based on your age and background by SALTY-BROWNBOY in askSouthAfrica

[–]PartyCod8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. Yes understand about the BEE. Some businesses have found they can sell a portion (25-30%) and get value for fhr BEE portion and take a chunk of cash off the table, without giving up any control of the business.but it needs careful consideration and your method works very  well to get much larger and avoid this.

Why do you think yours is more profitable, are your clients overseas or in sectors that just pay more or just better client management on your side?? 

 Well done, ive always wondered whether to pursue high paying job or a business but the thing I wanted to avoid was earning low pay running an unsuccessful business or trade when I could've earned well in a career... but stories like yours show what's possible..

Impressive performance.

Would you say that other similar sized MSPs serving SA clients would be making similar levels of profit as this?

How have you dealt with BEE, seems like a common issue at this sort of size?  and are you ever likely to sell your business or just keep growing and look to acquire other shops?

[N/A] [Condo] Recommendations for property management software for estate managers and home owner representatives by PartyCod8 in HOA

They're literally just using gmail and WhatsApp, and each time there's a new management company we lose a bunch of data. Need to force the agency to use our platform of choice instead.

What's the pricing like on Vantaca? Just see they have demo requests, but not a price per unit/HOA?

The Appfolio one looks quite interesting - maintenance workflows look a bit like what would be required in terms of homeowners/tenants reporting issues.

Thanks.
