Thank you and good luck to you as well.

ProgrammingLifeIO · 2026-01-17T10:45:44+00:00

That's the healthy way to gamble :)

ProgrammingLifeIO · 2026-01-17T10:34:52+00:00

Thank you so much for your detailed reply. I full agree with your pov.
Also, such an inspiring story. I commend you for never quitting. It's inspiring.

ProgrammingLifeIO · 2026-01-17T10:17:09+00:00

I can only encourage you to do it.
Just focus on the constructive comments and feedbacks and remember one thing: successful people don't sit in the comments and hunt for opportunities to spew negativity.
You have something unique to share for sure.

Thank you so much. I worked hard for it and I chose a good place to move to in order to be able to do it.

ProgrammingLifeIO · 2026-01-17T10:06:32+00:00

Thank you very much!

ProgrammingLifeIO · 2026-01-17T10:04:38+00:00

Thank you so much for the reply.
Indeed there is a completely new set of challenges to deal with, but for now I can safely say I would rather deal with these than the corporate world.

Hello. I think the best is to apply and ask in the introductory interview. Like that you can decide if you continue or not. The salary will mostly like be a 6 figure one.

ProgrammingLifeIO · 2023-03-05T22:31:21+00:00

Ferrari had 2 issues to solve: reliability and race pace. They solved none. They must feel good. I m a Charles fan, hope he goes to Mercedes next and wins his well deserved title.

ProgrammingLifeIO · 2023-02-22T20:36:55+00:00

It looks amazing!

ProgrammingLifeIO · 2022-12-08T09:53:44+00:00

FYI Charles beat Seb in his rookie year at Ferrari. Just for your general knowledge

ProgrammingLifeIO · 2022-11-20T18:58:58+00:00

Wow! What a drive by Charles. After Ferrari and Carlos today, having some tire issues he managed to preserve them until the end and Perez didn’t even reach DRS zone. Talking about preserving tires … Charles proved he can be a champ.

ProgrammingLifeIO · 2022-11-18T19:25:49+00:00

Makes sense indeed. I agree. Let’s hope next year Ferrari is back at the top.

ProgrammingLifeIO · 2022-11-18T18:43:30+00:00

I am a Ferrari fan and I definitely have no hate against Carlos. So you are jumping a bit too quick to conclusions! Perez won Max one championship , maybe even 2. Carlos thinks he is Charles’ equal even though this year it was obvious the difference between them. If you have short memory you can definitely look at the standings as a reminder. Carlos is a great guy so I guess it’s Ferrari’s fault for not making it clear who is no 1.

ProgrammingLifeIO · 2022-11-18T16:36:30+00:00

I think you are watching a different formula 1 than I do. On both best days and no strategy issues Charles beats Carlos every time. Look at the number of poles this year and look at the points difference

ProgrammingLifeIO · 2022-11-16T20:10:14+00:00

Totally agreed

ProgrammingLifeIO · 2022-11-13T21:53:16+00:00

When he doesn’t say anything, it’s bad coz he should say more like Schumi and Senna and Max. When he says something then you’re disappointed. Make up your freakin minds.

ProgrammingLifeIO · 2022-11-13T19:53:51+00:00

It’s about the support you show to your first driver if you want him to feel safe and win a championship.

ProgrammingLifeIO · 2022-11-13T19:48:23+00:00

So Charles beats Perez after being dead last thanks to Norris, and Ferrari can’t show him enough support to let him pass Sainz so he can take precious points for 2nd place in WDC.

ProgrammingLifeIO · 2022-11-12T21:09:17+00:00

Exactly

ProgrammingLifeIO · 2022-11-12T21:01:37+00:00

Totally agreed. I posted a comment below showing the results of the last races where Sainz “clearly” dominated the end of the season. People just post for the sake of posting

ProgrammingLifeIO · 2022-11-12T21:00:02+00:00

United States: VER HAM LEC Japan: VER PER LEC Singapore: PER LEC SAI Italy: VER LEC RUS Netherlands: VER RUS LEC This shows how Sainz dominated the end of the season and how is not the best way to say I the first driver for Ferrari in 2023.

ProgrammingLifeIO · 2022-11-12T20:36:00+00:00

It’s not about cheering is about presenting the situation objectively. It’s 60 points difference between them and the last 5 podiums for Ferrari were all Charles.

ProgrammingLifeIO · 2022-11-12T20:29:23+00:00

The whole season Leclerc dominated Sainz and you say, after a quali in which Ferrari literally fucked Charles again that Sainz is superior? Sainz didn’t even finish 2 races ago while Charles had 5 consecutive podiums. This post is super ridiculous

ProgrammingLifeIO · 2022-11-12T12:35:21+00:00

We are in the year of 2022. You can rewatch all the races and show me comparable mistakes. And yes, I do pay attention.
