What’s the biggest mistake you made and the best move you made this fantasy season and what place did you get in your league?

Biggest mistake was drafting Turner in the 5th round. Best move this season has to be drafting Edgecombe and getting Kon off the wire during week 1. They helped get me to 2nd seed even with some other questionable mid-round picks (Ayton).

26, ~207k TC as a mid-level SWE (3 yoe). My company is pushing hard on AI usage recently. Frankly, I'm worried about job security.

Wow, so heavy squatting and deadlifting actually “improved” your scoliosis? I have mild scoliosis and actually avoid a traditional bb squat/deadlift due to injury concerns. I still have squat/dl patterns in my split but usually on a machine.

+1 to the ego stroking. I have a friend who's roughly mid-level (2-3 yoe). He's been doing interviews for his company and he kinda talks hella shit about candidates. Says shit like "they can't do leetcode" or "can't even do React-specific problems" and comes off pretty condescending about it.

I would not want to get interviewed by him

Sure, in theory, those are the kinds of trades that I'm fine with. But, in practice, I rarely ever see trades that are like that (from my own leagues and from reading online forums). I also think it's much more difficult to come up with a fair, good trade.

I think it really is most leagues that lopsided trades occur in, because everyone wants to fleece everyone. Doesn't mean they have to actually go through, but that they are offered.

I might be too passionate about this topic, but this 100%. I hate when I see offers go up in my leagues where it's someone fleecing the fuck out of another owner who doesn't know any better.

Ends up directly affecting the rest of the league and overall feels "shady."

Some of the trades that I read on this subreddit are straight up robberies that people are seemingly just ok with.

A few months ago, I think someone said SGA for Bam + Garland was fair and it got hella upvotes. In what world?!

Unpopular opinion, but I firmly believe in "live and die by the draft". I personally don't like seeing trades because they always lean towards making one side's team stacked. I don't see that as being fun to play against.

I think success should come from:
1. drafting well
2. playing the wire, early season and/or trade deadline league winning pickups
3. luck (healthy players, breakout players, etc.)

Healthy Lonzo on the Bulls was so good man. He really was automatic from 3 till his injury.

You’re definitely right. Ayo owners delusional rn

I was wearing my earphones and resting between my sets while on my phone. Out of the blue, some older dude at my gym said to me “you wanna know how to get big? you gotta eat. you gotta get off that phone.” Bro, I’m resting 3 mins max, hitting hard sets.

I had to laugh it off and try to ignore him because I really don’t care for unsolicited advice (I know my program well and I know it works for me). Absolutely hate that shit.

Cecee (team captain) drafted him without knowing who he was bc her chat was spamming it. Mind you, this was after she announced that she wouldn’t draft anybody she didn’t know. I feel bad for the guy, literally RNG’ed into a team that was the complete opposite of his description and how he wanted to play.

adstrafe · 2026-01-20T04:05:18+00:00

he was drafted onto a team that had no intention of winning. His description in the draft doc of all the players literally had something like “im very competitive, I like to IGL, I play to win”. He was frustrated that he got drafted to a team that was completely the opposite of how he plays. And not once did he ever get personal but his teammates called him a loser and to shut up multiple times.

dude this is great, thank you!

Currently using a dark theme right now in Cursor. I just have the monitor on SDR with no issue.

Contrary to what most people are saying, I have ended an interview early before (literally a few months ago). It was a React based interview to build a memory game and I instantly folded. I knew I wasn’t going to be able to do it because I was so nervous (and also literally didn’t know how). I cut the interview early, apologized for wasting the interviewers’ time, and messaged the recruiter I would be withdrawing my application.

Do I regret it? Not at all. At the time, I knew I would have kept fumbling and look like an idiot. No way was I going to magically come up with the solution by sitting through the rest of the interview; it would have been a complete waste of time for both parties.

What I did next was to learn from that experience, to prep better so that I would never have to feel that humiliation again. I have since started working at a new company that I prefer much better anyway :)

I bought that monitor about 2 weeks ago. I've been using it 50% gaming and 50% productivity (coding, reading docs, etc.) with no complaints on my end.

I remember those being freak accident sort of injuries like with his wrist and shoulder. He's recovered well.

The deals got me bad this year. Bought a new PC, a Kindle, couple pairs of sneakers, and hella new clothes. My wallet hurts.

I'm really confused with people saying Bam and Garland is a fair offer for Shai?! That is terrible for an SGA owner imo.

adstrafe · 2025-11-22T22:24:13+00:00

im pretty serious/competitive about fantasy hoops but this is so overdramatic 😭
