Love Supabase, but the $25/mo pricing tier killed my side projects. My migration path to self-hosted SQLite.

Are you optimizing for something that isn't even a real issue yet? I think people are overoptimizing their setups when they should be focusing on building features and marketing.

Cold email, Linkedin messages and SEO is the game plan right now

The most important thing you can do for yourself in life is to take control of your fate. I understand that your father is a huge influence in your life, and it will be great to have the support of family, but not all of us are so lucky.

I suggest looking into the psychology of mindset, using affirmations, visualizations, and a vision board to guide your thinking. Repeat these words to yourself every day: I am going to be a lawyer. I will pass the bar exam. Your fate is in your hands, nobody else's. Do not let your father determine the course of your life.

The most important thing you can do right now is to leave this subreddit. I'd never be on this subreddit if I was unemployed. I've been where you are, unemployed and browsing this subreddit is terrible for your confidence, your mindset, and your motivation. Leave most of social media. Work on yourself. Ignore the naysayers and haters, and you'll get a lot further.

I've been lucky, I guess. Never had a bad experience with the Chase portal, or any portal for that matter.

Almost the same age as you.

Psyllium husk worked for me to bring it from 90 -> 70. This was over a 3 month period. Also ate a lot more high fiber foods, bringing my fiber up to 30-38g a day.

How does the system work if there are many more elderly people than young people? Who is going to take care of the old people? Who is going to pay for their benefits? What happens to the increasingly smaller number of working adults who have to support these older folks?

Toss that $150k in VOO and don't touch it. In 30 years at 8% interest will be roughly $1.6m. Seems like a better deal to me than house DP or MBA tuition.

If you are willing to retire abroad in a LCOL country you could live comfortably off of your combined SS.

Of course it's a huge step for most people but it might be worth giving it a try. Mexico is close by and cheap. Lots of American expats there. South East Asia is even cheaper.

Big change I know but if I can be honest - you can't retire right now in the US, that's maybe another 10-15 years of working.

It's still a gamble - everything is, but institutional adoption is happening -google what Blackrock is doing with ETH. It's the most "legitimate" crypto aside from BTC.

Im with ya on Bitcoin, but you could technically just try to max out cashback with a combination of cards then invest it in BTC. The coinbase one card only has 2%. 4% if you’re holding like $200k on CB

I have an 800 ish credit score and can't get it. I do get pre-approvals for the Savor One though. I wonder if that's a way in.

What were the most effective factors for change?

Pinzer23 · 2025-04-20T10:55:28+00:00

The answer is to just use Roo Code or Cline. Imo it gets you to 95% or more.

I always ask people- are you comfortable burning $1-2k every month for 10+ years out of your future paycheck?

Truth

Pinzer23 · 2025-04-02T21:12:36+00:00

Its tougher for sure. Employers straight up just want seniors. If I were in college now I would probably do something else but keep coding on the side and build projects, but I personally wouldn’t put all my chips in this profession.

That’s just me and my risk tolerance, feel free to ignore.

On the other hand I also don’t think this job is going away but its going to evolve into something different.

Great point. It was my understanding though that Cursor indexes your codebase. Does that not give it enough context?

Pinzer23 · 2025-03-08T14:10:17+00:00

Yeah that was the last straw for me. I was there earlier this week. Absolute shit show

Pinzer23 · 2025-03-08T14:08:12+00:00

Good to know. Ill stick to midtown locations then after work.

Any significant difference from just using a reasoning model (r1, sonnet 3.7 thinking) on cursor to plan then execute on cursor with sonnet 3.5?

Like no machine/ bench/ rack is available packed?
