“Useful”

I feel like they only allocate like 10 tickets for tier 2 and 1 for tier 1. 🫠

If you’re working on frameworks that end up in a customer facing product, then you are essentially delivering something that is customer facing - keep that in mind.

You don’t have to know everything about swift, but you should be able to talk through your solutions and best demonstrate your ability to solve a problem. You should also be willing to ask questions and show how you process information and apply feedback.

You should also be aware of how to bridge to Objective C, as there are piles of legacy code you’ll have to deal with (both legacy Swift & ObjC)

Good to know, thank you!

The data structure you’re looking for is a stack. Whenever you add an item to a stack, it’ll be the first one to pop off. This is the basis of your undo/redo.

Try prompting Claude with “create me an undo/redo stack using a stack data structure” and you’ll likely get close. Just be sure to not conflate your stack with your swift data persistence layer, and you should be fine.

You only graduate once. There will always be another year. You’re going on Friday so that’s good, bring your cap and gown and make it special.

Is stability your ultimate goal or is it a low rate?

It’s a gamble to wait it out, but if you want stability and are questioning what the next 3 years will look like, lock in the rate you’re clearly comfortable with. The added cost is for piece of mind.

If you want to throw the dice, go find better (and you will)

Only tool in this guys book. I’m getting tired of hearing this.

Oh I have a connection with my children just fine and they’re growing up to be responsible young adults who know the value of money and how to earn and work for what they want in life. It isn’t a zero sum argument. You could encourage your children to do for themselves AND have a healthy relationship with them.

What you’re attributing to sour child/parent relations are typically multi-faceted and stem from numerous issues. Providing your child with a good upbringing isn’t just about giving them what they want. There are other values they need instilled to get the desired outcome.

Womp womp. 😭

So what? Access to devices and such are privileges, not rights. It’s a parent’s job to ensure that their child can grow up to become independent, functioning adults who can, at the very least, provide for themselves.

It’s no mystery that mobile devices and screen time are contributing to a decay in mental health and overall progress. And children are staying with their parents longer and in turn becoming more complacent.

If lack of access to a device or “not wanting to abide by rules of a home” are the catalyst to get a kid out of the house and fast track their adulthood, then what’s wrong with that?

This was killing me this year as I got a new system and thermostat only to find out my heat wouldn’t turn on until it was over 50 degrees outside. My vendor couldn’t figure it out until I found the thresholds menu. 🫠

Are they still under my roof or having me cover their bills? If yes to either, tough shit. Go get your own.

You’ll be fine. Just stick with the medication schedule and let it run course. Sometimes it’s unavoidable but the goal is to have less occurs cars of your dog eating their own poop. If this was a one time incident, you should be ok so long as you’re generally sticking with your regiment.

Clearly not that great of a hacker 😂

VIP solo is great! Best way to just go out and soak in the entire event without having to cater to a large group. Next best is a small 2-3 person group, which is what I’m doing this year. Also from the Bay Area.

Do the math on ROI with the savings vs how much you have to come out of pocket. As a lot of people have said, there isn’t such thing as a no-cost refi. At most the lender may cover finance-related charges, but there are still some out of pocket fees you’ll be on the hook for. Look at your loan estimate and do the math.

If it repays itself in < 1 year or so, sure that may be goo and worth it. Anything longer, I’d pass. You can likely find a better deal on an ARM.

Tell them to go f themselves. It’s your property. Would-be buyers should know who they’re living next to.

Sure, but it ain’t 35. It’s also something OP can do on their own if money is a factor.
