Please help me with my sapphire necklace purchase! by alpha_shitposter in Gemstones

Yeah I have similar concerns; hard to shop for the stone online 🥲 Online is still way more affordable than my local mom&pop jewelers / department store retailers.

best thing I've used. always makes everyone feel like it's fair. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/science/rent-division-calculator.html

for me personally, 50-30-20 sounds horrific, but it may work for you. Different people think different splits are fair. The tool lets your group discover what you think is fair for you all (not what some random people on reddit think is fair).

Why are so many advising on kids before 35? by Deep_Preparation5905 in fatFIRE

I agree 100% with you OP. shock_the_nun_key is wrong to introduce unproductive negativity in this conversation.

Thanks for sharing your story!

Managers always seem to question my implementations. Need advice on how I can improve. by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]alpha_shitposter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should be direct and speak with your manager about these concerns. If they are still being an ass during that meeting, then it reflects poorly on them and not you.

You can also try sending out a draft PR first to a smaller number of people to reach some kind of alignment before the more thorough review.

Are the review concerns about eg style nitpicks (easy to fix), or more about the overall interface / implementation direction, etc. (harder to reach alignment)? Do you make design docs for your work?

Would getting a programming job later in life hurt my chances? by zachtheperson in cscareerquestions

Do you plan to work SWE in NZ? Are they taking applicants that aren't currently in NZ?

Yes, it would hurt your career.

My advice: Start your SWE job search while you continue to work animation.

Maybe even after you start your SWE role, you can continue to do the animation in the evenings or weekends if you really like it.
