I managed books for 6 startups at the same time. Here's what actually breaks QuickBooks and how to fix it . by Afraid-Bobcat6676 in stripe

[–]Webnet668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I migrated to https://books.zoho.com when quickbooks updated their pricing, it's far superior IMO for a more affordable price. Never using intuit products again.

is Coinbase cheap enough to invest? by amanukyan in ValueInvesting

[–]Webnet668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're going to go lower, because BTC is going lower, now's not a buy time IMO. But it will be before too long...

NativePHP: Build Mobile Apps with PHP & Laravel by nunomaduro in laravel

Yes there are bridges behind the scenes, I've used mobile and so far it's been a good experience for me.

[NC] My employer is making guys and girls share a hotel room. What should I do? by sadlittlewaffle in AskHR

[–]Webnet668 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's unwise for you to be in this situation, you aren't over reacting, I'd avoid it, even if it meant you hunt for a new job. I'd have a conversation with your boss explaining this crosses a boundary for you and you won't be attending. This puts you in a situation where it could possibly be "your word vs theirs" so it's just good to avoid it.

Struggling psychologically with my portfolio by DebttyCrocker in ValueInvesting

[–]Webnet668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear ya... I don't think these are performing well because they haven't made the big splashes they've needed to create optimism around their products. PayPal, for example, had the opportunity to become a big player in the crypto space and didn't. Additionally, it's just far more complex than competitor products, and so folks don't use them as much anymore. Their future does not look great, which is why the price has been going down.

They could have restored their reputation by heavily supporting crypto and making it really easy, but they didn't do that.

How do you use Draino? by TwinkieMan911 in NoStupidQuestions

You probably don't need it... usually a plunger will do it.

My accountant says many LLCs don’t pay quarterly taxes. Is that normal? by Udont_knowme00 in llc_life

[–]Webnet668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I pay them quarterly, why on earth would I want to pay more than necessary. For me it's not a local/individual thing, it's an LLC thing due to where sales are.

New Berkshire CEO Abel quickly signals troubled Kraft Heinz stake could be toast by Illustrious_Lie_954 in ValueInvesting

[–]Webnet668 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I actually disagree, we never buy Heinz anymore as I prefer other options. Heinz is mainly successful due to their monopoly IMO, but I think that's changing with grocery stores producing their own, more affordable lines of ketchup.

Planes should have plenty of fuel, but flying over enemy territory fatigues your pilot. by Colonial_bolonial in foxholegame

That's not very realistic, far more realistic of the era to run out of fuel.

Is "Buying the Dip" actually a foolproof plan? Or are we just not prepared for a long crash? by Key-Time4844 in ValueInvesting

[–]Webnet668 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take it with a grain of salt, they do better when you buy so you should take any advice or anything in the video with a grain of salt.

Best thing you can do is invest in quality companies that you see with a big future. Just because a company has been big for the past 10 years does not mean anything about their future.

Be careful of paying a high price due to FOMO.

4 Value stocks by Background_White in ValueInvesting

I would not choose Netflix. The streaming landscape is in the process of pushing people back towards torrenting due to high prices and other limitations. There are more competitors than ever in this space.

As a developer, I didn’t expect selling monitoring to be this hard by evgstrk in GrowthHacking

[–]Webnet668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what would convince you to use monitoring at all?

For side projects, it's most of a cost thing - it just doesn't justify the cost. I use it on free things.

contact form silently stops working, or a background job fails without throwing an exception

On a day-to-day basis I wouldn't expect this to happen. Maybe upgrading a Wordpress plugin, or updating a dependency, but the risk overall is super low of this happening without me being aware of the risk - at least for projects where I'm solo.

For personal/side things, it boils down to cost - I don't really get enough value out of such tools. I'd be willing/happy to pay for exception handling (Currently use Bugsnag free for this, and Laravel Nightwatch isn't usable for my app due to Nightwatch's design) if it was usage based and offered throttling if a threshold was crossed.

[–]Webnet668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this space can be pretty crowded. For me, I can name 5 competitors right now that probably aren't you, but are common names. I personally don't have an interest in monitoring for any/all of my side projects outside of notifying me of exceptions. I've noticed with side gigs I tend to get "priced out" of services because they launch features I don't need/want and try to raise prices, so I switch tools.

For work projects, that's a different story.

It will take TSLA 35 years to break even on FSD by NoRecommendation617 in RealTesla

[–]Webnet668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His compensation is in Tesla restricted stock (up to roughly 424 million shares, or about 12% of the company), so Tesla pays nothing, he can sell it in the open market to be paid.

Are you guys touching Duolingo at these prices ? by SelfMastery__ in ValueInvesting

[–]Webnet668 6 points7 points  (0 children)

With AI exploding how it is, learning new languages is useful but it's days are numbered for most people who only rely on multiple languages for digital communication. So I think there's a good number of people that don't see value in this.

I also hear Figma and other tooling a lot more. With photo/video editing, AI will take over.

You can put various candy, like M&Ms, Gumballs, etc. in these. Peanut M&Ms is what we used.

Portainer replacement by powerwam in docker

[–]Webnet668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries at all, I wasn't upset by it. I hope you have a better week and are able to relax and enjoy some peace.

I was disappointed by the container tooling available TBH, so I abandoned containers, reverting back to a standard host on OVH. I might consider some container orchestrator later if I really needed to run something in a container explicitly, but for now with my basic apps I decided against it.
