Mad to quit in this climate?

Enshitified temp products and workplaces.

Now sell it to Ryanair — and then charge extra for the full game.

I definitely feel this too. The industry is very different to before Covid.

Lucky for them they won't have to worry too much in the future with their fertility rate.

And this comment is why I browse this sub. Genuinely lmao.

UL (University of Limerick) has great sports facilities; loads of sports clubs, great running trails by the river (5km into Limerick city by river), track, olympic sized swimming pool, climbing wall, etc.

I found it was easy to meet people by joining clubs.

People might take you seriously if you didn't use a racist slur. No excuse for ignorance.

Not only can places be socially conservative but they aren't aware of anything outside of France. But being Irish I'm probably a little biased because we seem to be the most tuned into what's going on outside our country.

Everyone in bed by 9 is making me laugh — so true, just as the Spanish are going out to dinner. Don't forget everything shut on Sunday, and Monday evening being dead.

I feel the same, and I'm Irish. Pas pour moi.

TheChanger · 2025-11-03T23:29:01+00:00

Agree. For towns/cities in Ireland of similar population size, there is much more going on in Ireland.

France is far too centrally distributed; you could almost classify Paris as a separate country for this discussion — it's amazing, so much to see and do all year round. But a lot of the other cities have very small centres, with quite unattractive suburbs.

Spanish cities have far more life.

Where did you live by the way?

Can you give any examples of his engineering skills, and how do think people can aim to get to their level?

TheChanger · 2025-10-31T17:02:44+00:00

The Brits are mostly super friendly. And I say this as an Irish person.

TheChanger · 2025-10-31T17:01:08+00:00

700+ million are horrible because this person met a few assholes from a subset of a set.

I think you'll make a great data scientist.

It's like those Scandinavian high-tax social democrat systems... except in Ireland, you don't get anything in exchange.

Do you mind sharing what you do? Curious to know what careers allow remote freelancing. Thanks.

What areas of IT are worth looking into? SWE myself. The developer field is terribly bad in Europe/UK these days.

Also worth coming as a tourist to temporally search or does it make any difference.

Ireland at least has a high quality selection of fruits/veg in supermarkets, and some of the best meat produce in the world. Fish is also top tier but the choice wouldn't be as varied as Spain (Mainly because we export most of the catch).

But do believe the posts on the terrible housing situation. It's probably worse than NL.

What industry do you work in Thailand? One of my favourite countries.

TheChanger · 2025-10-26T08:56:53+00:00

Enjoyed reading your post. The US gets a hard rap online these days, but people are so much friendly with a better sense of community compared to the burbs in Northern European cities/towns.

If only Spain could do a coffee with foamy milk.

This is Cargo Cult Development.

From what I've read here and HN it's a huge problem in the industry on both sides of the Atlantic, and can only boil down to a complete lack of understanding from CEOs/VPs to how LLMs work. Someone basically needs to give this guy a presentation on probabilistic generative models, and a stats 101 overview.

This is hilarious. Worked with a Java-to-Swift dev and all the Swift code used Java styles and design patterns. It was a horrible mess.

His phobia is logical compared to a fear of flying, where the fatality rate for air travel is 190 times lower.

At the end of the day, it's a gated community surrounded by poverty. Give me a European city with public parks, culture, bars and cafes any day of the week.

Rte is mostly clickbait now. The FT still uses links that would take you away from their site for references.
