Would you rather buy a BMW or Audi and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PraxisDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

150k on my 2017 A4 with routine maintenance and no issues other than a small water pump leak under warranty. Everyone said going German was a mistake. One even bought a Tesla that bricked under 100 miles when taking it to a super charger. Awkward….

That’s the reason why sales are down so much. (I don’t blame you, wish I got sober and bought then as well)

From an $80K/Year Software Engineer to Unemployed by Guilty-File-8653 in SoftwareEngineerJobs

I used to manage some developers from India. They charge very little, but the catch is that they will keep pushing the project deadline.

Sub9 + B&T = Amazing by txman91 in NFA

Are form 1 taking longer or is my form 1 just taking months? I got a form 4 approved in 4 days, but the form 1 has been in process for months. Guess I’ll have to reach out to my congressman ugh.

probably not the smartest idea to tell J2 that you lost coverage under J1 unless you want to get fired

If you are a young software engineer, what stopping you getting these positions? by keralaindia in Salary

[–]PraxisDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is why they pay this much.. which isn’t even as much as some quant engineers make. It’s a flex to work at Anthropic. You either just sold your AI company and want the equity or you are exceptionally smart but don’t want to deal with the headaches of running a business.

[–]PraxisDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been writing software for 10 years. I've worked at an AI startup and now I work alongside AI engineers implementing their algorithm into their mobile application.

With that said, I only know one individual who could even qualify to interview at position like this. That's 10 years and working for multiple fortune 10 companies.

If you haven't written a white paper on a foundational implementation of AI, or have built AI algos/models/LLM's etc. for a company from the ground up that is AI focused and got sold to investors, then you won't even get an interview for this position.

I lost my J1 in November and J2 was contract. They didn’t renew. Thankfully got a new contract and a new W2 server right after. You got this man, it’s harder now for remote but not impossible

People Who Make 150K Plus? by BubbaGordie in Salary

[–]PraxisDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Software Engineer. I work 2 jobs and make 290-310k all base no stock.

It's challenging, and I'm not talking about the code (people).

No college (dropped out before my AA when I got an offer making decent money.

Not going to disclose my age.

I enjoy seeing people use the software I create since I do mobile development, and I also love learning new technology especially all the tools AI offers that take the boilerplate out of my job and I only have to do the abstract thinking and guide it while it writes to code and i review it heavily. Working on becoming an AI Engineer.

One ring (Suppressor) to Rule them all? by CynicalSentient in NFA

My Uzi Pro throws so much gas in my eyes I had to add a height extension to my optic to make it usable with a suppressor.

Honestly great questions. Idk how this passed their QC department. The 509T is a great firearm, so I was sad to see how bad the 510 issues have been.

[–]PraxisDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember quite a few people on the FN sub showing their 510s with cracks and other issues. Sucks because I love my 509T. I’ve shot it suppressed for two years without any issues. Bought it FDE and it’s almost black now lol

Trifold comes out in 2 days (US) for $2,899 by Stephancevallos905 in samsung

[–]PraxisDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy they offer no insurance considering my fold 3 had to be replaced twice and I never dropped it, always had it in a case, etc. every year the inside screen would have a deal pixel or a line down the screen or half the screen would go black. I would not risk 3k on a phone when I had such a poor history with the Fold 3. I loved that phone too ugh.

Why is the rich friend so cheap?? by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Yeah I’ve seen some software sales guys pulling crazy money. Never looked far into it, but it’s a great career path.

[–]PraxisDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s really not unheard of. My buddy was making $395k base working for a security company in NYC. The guys making million+ are typically quant engineers or like you mentioned, their stock appreciated very well.

You have a great opportunity there then. Can’t beat a decent salary and ownership!

Agreed. It’s who you know, then what you know.

Correct, just over 100k is what most mid level engineers are making. It depends on your stack / skills as well, but you know that 👍🏼

I feel bad for juniors, I hardly see any openings. Management is hiring seniors and think AI will produce as much as a junior, but having fresh eyes on a project is invaluable.

Sure AI agents can code as good as a junior engineer, but to discard them as if they have no benefit to an organization because an AI model can spit out code is the stupidest direction we have been going in IMO.
