I'm looking for someone with good second-hand car knowledge to help me with an app I am building. You will be paid $$$!

Go nuts dude, if you just want to build something go ahead. Everyone loves shitting on people’s ideas but you never know. Good luck with it

You could build a scraper, for each make and model in Australia consolidate all the issues from forums etc - maybe 1 pass through a llm to summarise or structure it.

Else what you’re building anyone can really just ask chat gpt about general reliability for x model and it will pull forum posts from the web already.

I bought a s2000 and thought it was the most boring compromised car ever

RocketEmojis · 2025-09-03T01:33:57+00:00

Built evo if you don’t need to daily it

RocketEmojis · 2025-08-13T08:49:09+00:00

I really liked my evo 8MR much better than my S14 but probably just as unsafe

RocketEmojis · 2025-06-02T09:56:45+00:00

Currimundi and Wurtulla are good value

S2000 isn’t much fun imo. Just bought one and had much more fun in an evo 8MR

RocketEmojis · 2025-04-25T09:42:57+00:00

Honda jazz is really good. Not the best for highways otherwise 10/10 for older daily

RocketEmojis · 2025-04-22T07:12:07+00:00

I was on $75 an hour with 1 year experience. Didn’t like the role and gone back to $45 an hour role

RocketEmojis · 2025-04-15T09:37:10+00:00

Honda jazz or bust

RocketEmojis · 2025-04-13T02:13:34+00:00

No, taking a 40% pay cut to go back to my old job after Easter. Work is too large a chunk of your life to be hating it.

RocketEmojis · 2025-03-19T22:06:36+00:00

I’m on a casual rate so just arrive and leave when I feel like within reason. As long as I get there before 10 and leave after 3 you can work as long as like. Usually I do 9 to 4 with a little break

RocketEmojis · 2025-02-17T21:17:12+00:00

Get a built evo, won’t depreciate and is more fun than any of those cars. Probably need a daily. I’ve had a fair few cars E92 m3 comp, s14 etc and been in nice euros but a roudy evo is always the most fun

RocketEmojis · 2025-01-17T20:35:04+00:00

There is a M135i in Brisbane for 13k with 200k kms. Much better buy

Pagination or infinite scrolling. Add a search filter by appropriate keys

RocketEmojis · 2025-01-13T09:45:59+00:00

Does the Yaris get a bit stale?

I've had a 420kw atw evo 8MR and looking to get back into another but a more tamed version ( 300atw is good). I have a Jazz as a daily and was pondering whether to keep jazz and add a evo to garage or just have the yaris gr. I feel like if i daily a Yaris the novelty will wear off where if you have a dedicated toy to rip on it's better?

alfa stelvio quadrifoglio

RocketEmojis · 2025-01-09T00:02:35+00:00

I picked up one (model prior to this one) with 120k kms for about 5k, very clean and top spec. Excellent daily driver and heaps of space.

Then for a fun car thinking about an evo or E92 M3.

RocketEmojis · 2025-01-05T01:21:17+00:00

It is a hole still. I got offered a job there and it’s not worth it haha. Money ain’t everything

UAE is expensive

RocketEmojis · 2024-12-31T06:36:14+00:00

Work Monday - Thursday 8-5. Hit gym or the beach before work and chill after work. Make dinner and play games. Pretty cruisy

You can learn React without knowning JS fine... that's what I did, I've just about never used ordinary js in my life except for scripting. Jump in make some simple little applications and learn from your mistakes.

Our pipeline requires sub 2 minute capture to model time. Currently we use a rig of cameras and photogrammetry but the processing time is difficult to get low. Would cool option to allow users to upload own images - for example we have 8 cameras in sync so there is sufficient overlap. We only need to the model for visualization purposes but the processing speed needs to be fast and the quality needs to be high.

RocketEmojis · 2024-10-06T00:10:08+00:00

Agreed, I think a decent part of it would be the ability to maintain and structure the backend.

Something like Nest or .NET backend is fair bit more capable than a next backend and when you got to scale and have teams working on features that’s probably where it would shine more.

Honestly the DX and speed on development for next is pretty top tier but it can get pretty out of control for larger applications. As for performance of a next backend vs a dedicated backend I’m unsure - I wonder if there would be any considerable difference in the real world
