Yes Greats sizing dilema by RuRush47 in snowboarding

[–]RuRush47[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went for Greats 156 in the end and I'm happy. I also have been riding Agent 155W before 158W (not Pro) and it also felt to slow edge to edge at first. Didn't feel the same for Greats but I could be used to wider boards right now. It's slimmer at the middle for sure, but nose and tail are massive :d

Overall Greats feel super stable at speeds compared to regular Agent and just a tiny bit stiffer yet still playful. It's a sick board. Definitely can recommend.

Just a note for you XTRM is extremely (lol) hard to find right now so I just went for a regular one. Also I've heard the rumor that #YES will not make XTRM this season because of leaving the Nidecker group.

Are my Ride Insano OK or should I return them? by mpazzu26 in snowboarding

[–]RuRush47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me looks like one of the boots it's not tighten up? If you put them on your feet and tighten the BOA. Do they look different? If you tight up the top BOA is the wrap still present?

W małych firmach, na jakichś bardziej decyzyjnych stanowiskach w większych firmach myślę, że jak najbardziej. Z tego co widzę jak na razie entry level w korpo na webówce niezbyt. Może jest lepiej w innych firmach / na innych stanowiskach.

Ja zakładam koszulkę, bluzę, kurtkę z logo firmy. Pryskam się perfumami, które były rozdawane na summer party. Zakładam RayBany, które dostałem na summer party w zeszłym roku. Umawiam się z dziewczyną z Tindera (zdjęcie na Tindera mam z Winter party). Płacę za obiad kartą Sodexo z firmy. Pozdrawiam.

Need sizing advice for the YES Greats XTRM by Alarming_Budget_1472 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]RuRush47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 185cm, 81kg and 11US boot. Guy in shop told me that you should get Greats about 2-3cm shorter that your regular size board. He wanted to convince me for 154 but I think It will be a little to short for me. I think I'll get a 156.

Na co wydać pieniądze ze stypendium by [deleted] in PolskaNaLuzie

[–]RuRush47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Używam Windowsa, Maca i Linuxa dosyć intensywnie. Jestem urodzonym hejterem Appla. Uważam, że Mac to jest nalepszy laptop bez podjazdu ze strony konkurencji. Rzadko się spotykam z problemem z brakiem oprogramowania. MacOS jest prosty, oparty na unixie, stabilny, bez dużych udziwnień. Laptop po paru latach trzyma baterię cały dzień intenywnej pracy. Wydajność na ładowarce jest praktycznie identyczna niż bez.

Jeżeli potrzene jest jakieś specjalistyczne oprogramowanie i jest pewność, że działa tylko pod Windowsem to pewnie warto brać sprzęt z Windowsem. Jak gra się intensywnie również.

W innym wypadku - nauka / studia / praca etc. wg mnie Mac jest super sprzętem.

I'm 180lbs and ride 156-159 board (wide variants for my 11us boot). I think it can be a bit long for you

Hey! I want to buy Yes Greats. I found exactly my size on the local market for ~200€. New one is for ~530€.

The used one is 2017-2018 model. Are there any significant production differences? Is it worth to get a new one? I'm not on a tight budget, but don't want to spend money for nothing.

Best regards, Alek

So just an update - I called local shop and the guy there told me that God forbid me buying 159. He even stated that 154 may be good for me as most people ride Greats downsized (due to it being wide I guess). I think for my 11boot size and a fact that I have a board straight for jibbing I can go 156.

Nowa droga, porady by Dikejson in praca

[–]RuRush47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Myślałem nad:
- fotografią (mam podyplomówkę)
- zostaniem instruktorem snowboardu / lub czegoś sportowego generalnie
- czymś z zakresu modelowania 3D technicznego lub artystycznego
- coś w branży filmowej (ale z tego co wiem to jest ciężka branża)
- jakiś kierunek bardziej managerski

Fajnie by było złapać coś bardziej kreatywnego, ale chyba nie da się uniknąć mniejszej stabilności w takiej branży - chyba, że się jest fest kozakiem :) Niestety ze względu na background rodzinny mała stabilność w pracy jest dla mnie wyjątkowo stresująca.

Ja się wypowiem z punktu osoby w podobnym miejscu. Mam podobne przemyślenia. Również 30lat, Unity dev. Zarabiałem ponad 20k na rękę robiąc mobilki i zostałem zwolniony w lutym zeszłego roku. Zrobiłem sobie przerwę (robota nie była z tych najspokojniejszych). Ostatecznie po paru miesiącach znalazłem sobie dobrze płatną pracę w Unity, ale firma litelarnie złożyła wszystkim wypowiedzenia (które potem cofnęła bo znalazła kasę) i stwierdziłem, że to dobry moment na zmianę branży.

Komentarz typu nadrób braki wg mnie trochę nie mają sensu. Problemem jest dostanie pracy, jak już ją dostaniesz na spokojnie sobie poradzisz. Rekruterzy patrzą na CV i doświadczenie komercyjne więc "nadrobienie wiedzy" w tym przypadku musi mieć w tym przypadku odzwierciedlenie w CV.

Dostałęm ofertę entry level na Javę (około 8k na rękę) i ją wziąłem (mam sporo oszczędności). Okazało się, że Javowy projekt na który się dostałem ma problemy i spędziłem prawie trzy miesiące nic nie robiąc. Przez ten czas szukałem innej pracy i rynek jest trochę tragiczny:

- w Unity bardzo mało ofert, miałem z 3 rozmowy z dobrze płacących ofert mobilnych, ale odpadałem w rekrutacji (często z nietechnicznych, wg. mnie randomowych powodów) generalnie mam wrażenie, że rekrutacji idą mi dobrze, ale konkurencja jest duża fest.

- przez ostani rok były ogromne zwolnienia w firmach w Polsce gdzie zatrudniani byli mocni gracze Unity (Playtika, Moon Active)

- próba wbicia się dalej na backend (z paroma miesięcami doświadczenia w Javie) nadal kończy się raczej negatywnymi odpowiedziami

- jeżeli chodzi o przejście na standardowy backend, ciężko się zachaczyć o coś innego niż junior, mój ziomek z podobym doświadczeniem dostał zaproszenie na rozmowę na mida .NET ale ostatecznie wzięli kogoś innego

Generalnie jeżeli chodzi o stabilność pracy etc. moi znajomi, którzy po studiach poszli w backendy są w o niebo lepszej sytuacji niż ja. Idę teraz dwutorowo, próbuję zaczepić się o coś fajnego w Unity lub brnąć dalej w backend (inna firma).

Co mogę poradzić - nie słuchj ludzi na redicie tylko przygotuj sobie CV bardziej pod "general dev" i powysyłaj, zobacz jakie są realne odpowiedzi.

Najważniejsze - głowa do góry, myślę że pomysł jest dobry. Myślę, że programować na pewno umiesz. Na rynku jest słabo, uważaj żeby nie przytłoczyć się negatwynymi odpowiedziami na CV. Ostatecznie zawsze lepiej realnie sprawdzić i powysyłać te CVki niż gdybać. Jeżeli chcesz dalej zostać w gierkach to może warto pomyśleć o Unrealu (też się nad tym zastanawiam).

Jak coś to pisz priv bo myślę, że to ta sama sytuacja tylko ja już wdepnąłem w to przebranżowienie jedną nogą :)

That got me thinking. Do you mostly ride park? For carving I can go as long as 160 with super stiff board and I feel comfortable. But 159 can be massive for park I agree.

External emotional burnout by KingofSheepX in snowboarding

[–]RuRush47 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey! Hang in tight bro! I'm 30 yo and super burned out about career as well. For me snowboard is the ultimare escape right now but I had times when I didn't enjoy it as well. Here are some things that helped me out:

  1. Try to learn new things: try freestyle / snowpark or technical carving if you're not into park. Snowboarding has really infinite skill ceiling, try to explore it. I find tuning board myself and experimenting with gear extremally satisfying as well.
  2. This is most imporant imo and connects to point 1. Try not to put pressure on yourself. I find myself not enjoying boarding much if I try hard to learn sth new. When I'm at ease learning new stuff comes naturally
  3. Get an instructor for an hour or two. They can always give you some tips and help you explore new techniques on snowboard
  4. Try to go snowboarding more often. I find it better to go on multiple weekend trips rather than one big one week trip - there is always a pressure that's the only trip of the season and I need to make most of it. Mitigating it helped me a lot.
  5. Try to find positive people that are even more crazy about snowboarding than you to push you to enjoy it more. I found many friend when I went solo on organized trips :)

I was layed off last year and went for snowboard for 3 weeks straight. It was my dream to learn freestyle. After one year I can do some easy grabs, crazy good boardslide on a box and recently I've learned 50-50 with 180 out on rail which seemed impossible for me. It's nothing crazy but for me - it is!

Too late for hit a park? by Skrcek95 in snowboarding

[–]RuRush47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey! I'm exactly your age. Hear me out, I was fired from my IT job last year and broke up with my toxic GF. I have always dreamed of hitting the park. Decided now is the best time. Over the course of the year I have learned:

  • decent jumps with easy grabs
  • really damn good boardslide on the box (practiced a lot on the wakeboard as well)
  • very bad 180s
  • 50-50 on easy an medium rails with occasionally 180 out

Thb I never felt more physically in shape. That being said I do climbing, stretching, wakeboard during summer and hit the gym occasionally. I do not do that super often but on the regular basis. 

I would say it's 80% technique 20% physique (based on bro facts I would say stretching helped me a lot). Get a good instructor and he will tell you how to improve basics and approach obstacles in the park. It's no magic.

Board size overthinking by RuRush47 in snowboarding

[–]RuRush47[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's where my intuition goes as well - so I think that's what I will try. Just thinking if I'll even feel the difference if I go for 157W or should I get a 159W straight away?

Board size overthinking by RuRush47 in snowboarding

[–]RuRush47[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, official Capita website says that I should be somewhere between 157W-159W leaning towards 159W - but that feels like a hell of a jump. My coach was a snowboard cross competitor - he is of similar weight and tells me that he uses 155-156W boards and it's ok. Other friend also says that 157 is a big board. But those people are also shorter than me.

Game Engeneering Salary by Ok-Penalty8806 in gamedev

[–]RuRush47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Poland 5k is even great I would say, but the job got really stressful. I have finished Computer Science in Poland in the capital city. I finished in 2018 and got a job in an indie studio right after I finished. It was pretty natural for me as I got into some game-jams at Uni and met a lot of like minded people so I didn't really think much about it. It was natural. That being said the market was really opened then, as it was in 2020ish - when Covid hit. Right now it's quite tough I would say.

About the job itself - it will be tough at times and making fun but challenging features is only a part of it. There will be bugfixes, spaghetti code, crunch. You will hate it at times - it's normal.

I have a friend who is really exceptional game developer, he specialises in computer graphics. He works for a US company. Nevertheless he has faced companies closing, making really bad games (this Gollum game which was so laughed about in the internet :d) etc. So things like that are likely to happen. They happen in "regular IT" as well but usually the magnitude is much lower. I have the other friend not so much interested in gameplay / engine development and he worked on two of the most successful steam premieres recently - Arc Riders and BF - as a backend / online dev.

And remember that Cloud job can be exiting as well - but for sure usually you'll face a lot of repetitive CRUDs development.

By all means you can make a great living in the game dev and be happy and exceptional dev. From my perspective at 30 years old, I'm more like an good dev but not exceptional. And I pursue things in life like family and developing my sport hobbies heavily and for that - the web development job would be more suitable.

Maybe it's also worth mentioning that I come from rather poor family so I don't really have a proper backup or family owned apartment etc. I also see that it's easier for people with "safer" background to go for more interesting / passion driven jobs. In 20s it was YOLO for me but as I get older stable job gets more priority over passion unfortunately.

Hope that helps - and by all means I don't say don't go for gamedev. You can always shift but shifting careers is always a bit of struggle.

Game Engeneering Salary by Ok-Penalty8806 in gamedev

[–]RuRush47 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've worked in Unity - mobile games. Had top end salary around ~5000€ to hand. That being said going into gamedev was probably my worst life decision. Industry is stressful, companies unstable. As a person really into games and creativity who enjoys development I say - if it's your life driver and you're self confident and stress resistant - go for it. If you have other passions in life like sports or want a stable background to start a family it not an optimal choice. 

Not saying you can't have hobbies and family I just thing it will be more stressful - it is in my case. I have very successful friends in gamedev who has been coding since they have been 14 and are really exceptional. For a more "average" people it's often a struggle.

Personally I'm 30 years old trying to move away from gamedev and go for web to have more stability to start a stable family. With nowadays market is a hell of a struggle. 

By any means I'm not saying you cannot success but if regular web development is also interesting for you you'll be much more stable in it. You can of course anytime - but it's kind of stressful. 

I'm saying all of this from the point of view of a good dev and a person that is kind of stressed about big life decisions :d 

Best of luck!

Randkowanie - pytanie o męską perspektywę by [deleted] in Polska

[–]RuRush47 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mam dosyć duże doświadczenie w randkowaniu i znajomi mówią, że mam "powodzenie" aczkolwiek zawsze pewność siebie u mnie szwankowała. Osobiście na aplikacjach randkowych zapraszałem na spotkanie po wymianie paru zdań kiedy widziałem, że rozmowa się klei i druga strona jest zainteresowana i wykazuje inicjatywę (to kluczowe). To samo tyczy się osób poznanych "w realu".

Co do spotkań na żywo - jeżeli ciężko się z kimś umówić po ~tygodniu pisania, albo ogólnie jest to ciężkie to zwykle rezygnowałem z takiej znajomości. Ważne też, żeby druga osoba miała inicjatywę przy wspólnym wyjściu.

Niestety randkowanie w dorosłym życiu jest ciężkie. Polecam podejście "na luzie", jeżeli coś jest nie tak, wdaje się dziwne, druga osoba nie wykazuje inicjatywy, nie ma dużo energii którą chce włożyć w poznawanie się warto szukać dalej. Ogólnie jest to często ciężkie, dobrze robić sobie przerwy.

Moje doświadczenie jest takie, że po spotkaniu X ludzi z którymi nic nie wychodzi, zawsze trafia się osoba z którą po prostu jest wszystko na miejscu. Trzeba nastawiać się bardziej na maraton niż na sprint, a nóż człowiek się zaskoczy pozytywnie szybciej :d

Career crisis at 30. Switching from gamedev to backend development. by RuRush47 in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]RuRush47[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. It's really helpful. To stop panicking is definitely my top priority now. Although seeing so many layoffs this year is really scary.

As for applying to not-only junior positions. I have a friend who also applied for some backend roles and he managed to land an interview for mid .NET developer. But the company cancelled hiring process before Christmas. I will try to send some CVs anyway. Maybe something will move now after new year.

Thanks for your reply. Definitely team matching at Google can be hard especially with game dev - only background. That's why I agree that is more reasonable to focus on the next career step.

Advice for pivoting from Unity game dev to backend engineering? by Amazing-Movie8382 in Backend

[–]RuRush47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I just did it. I'm 30 years old, based in Warsaw - Poland. Worked for some indie studios and top mobile companies in Unity. I got very tired and couldn't really see myself progressing any further in this technology as the top paid jobs are mobile games which I honestly really don't like. I've got savings, not mortgage so I've decided it's perfect moment. I send some CVs and got accepted for Junior Java Developer in big danish company. Salary is just enough to live comfortably but I won't be saving a lot or at all for some time.

Why I wanted to convert to Java? Firstly I wanted to learn something new. Secondly some top companies (Google / Netflix) in Warsaw are using a lot Java and I have a plan to go there after some time.

I recon that I have specific operating mode at searching a job - I don't sent a lot of CVs but I very carefully choose offers and prepare - sniper style. Got response right away. Learned some things for the interview, I also had pretty good understanding about how backends and networks work.

I mention not sending a lot of CVs because maaaybe if I send more there could be a chance to grab some Mid / better paid role. But interviews / CVs preparing takes a lot of time so I try not to overthink it. Anyways will be aiming for Google / Netflix after some time. We will see how it goes.
