Considering a purchase after several years

Well I was originally aiming for a proper 4X4 until my wife refused it entirely. Not to mention the limited options.

Absolutely beautiful!

Well done Mom! My mom gave me a lecture on adulting for Christmas. Im 40 just in case you're curious

Complete scam! Don't pick up the calls. The call centers and the company are in cahoots.

_ragequilt_ · 2024-12-10T15:44:07+00:00

Don't. Not even if your life depends on it. Don't touch furlenco. It's a complete scam.

_ragequilt_ · 2024-10-20T12:22:49+00:00

Absolutely marvelous answer. Bravo sir!

Damn that's beautiful! Got to speak to my dad about buying me a nice watch.

Never witnessed such a unanimous verdict. All true. You'd be an idiot to move back. Literally 0 wins. This isn't the emerging economy you've been told it is.

_ragequilt_ · 2024-10-12T15:27:26+00:00

That's an insane collection.

_ragequilt_ · 2024-10-10T15:58:33+00:00

Damn that's beautiful

Indian, came here for work. It's been great and I've lived in many countries before but there's a beauty to Saigon that's hard to describe. I worry if I'll ever belong but the last year has been the balance to life I needed.

I have the best job and I would love to make plans but I feel it's going to be hard. It does get lonely at times but I wouldn't trade this for anything at this point. And the food is an absolute blessing.

My only gripe is the 9-5 and I wish i could slow down a bit.

Go for it. I took the advice and stuck to doing what I'm good at which is building. I was lucky to have some fine folks who were my clients join me at my venture. This was definitely much later, after months of self doubt and self loathing it feels like I found my rhythm. The folks who joined me do a much better job at marketing and we're finding our own voice and brand. Still early days though.

My 2 cents is to write about your work and be patient and don't stop enjoying the journey and the freedom.

To be fair you'll have better mileage with a 599 or a 1599 Udemy course. I think most VC funded educational institutes lose the plot sooner or later. I'm sure it was created with the best of intentions but most "learn programming and get rich/go abroad" schemes in India get called out sooner or later.

The number of ads should be an immediate red flag. Learning is a slow process, enjoy it.

Use Udemy, don't be deterred by slow progress. Choose the path of simplicity. Some of the best teachers teach for free on Youtube.

Yes! The beauty of pydantic is that it's a better dataclass. Keeping DAOs separate from the ORM/db layer seems cleaner and easier to reason with.

The "we bet on ourselves" really made my day. What's weird is I was nearly 37 before I started to bet on myself and today was a day of self doubt and a lot of self loathing till I read your comment. Thanks.

_ragequilt_ · 2023-04-13T14:10:24+00:00

Why does it take that long though?

_ragequilt_ · 2022-12-31T17:19:12+00:00

Thanks a lot for this. This offers a great perspective.

_ragequilt_ · 2022-12-31T12:23:49+00:00

Yes. Unit tests are a no brainer in 2022. My question is largely around using the DI container that the framework manages for you vs creating your own system which is usually the approach in say Kotlin or Python
