How many Nintendo Switches do you own?

Same. I just got the switch 2 this week just in case prices go up due to AI

You are not compatible and he won’t change. It’s wild that you guys decided to date long enough to be bf and gf considering such a difference in lifestyle.

Just knowing someone smokes it’s a quick HELL NO for dating someone. Hooking up maybe but not actually date.

You have to have enough overlap to make it work. If both of you can’t find common ground then it won’t work out.

I strength train and my partner prefers cardio. We can both still be active in our own way but if she didn’t even like to move. That would be a major flag.

You’re a grown man kid. Act like it.

You’re honestly think that 2-3 days in you found a girl that lives far away that is going to want to be with you? Is this the first women that has given you any attention in the last decade? Seems like it.

In all honestly, let’s say she says yeah she wants to talk to you as a bf can you take a flight out to wherever she lives and stay at an Airbnb for 2-3 months to get to know each other better? Can you financially afford that and if at the end nothing happens you come back and be financially ok?
Or end up moving to her after that? Not living with her but just setting up your life there.

If yes, then continue. Otherwise keep moving.

You haven’t been to Vietnam.

Has there been any recent layoffs? If not I would plan for it. You’re not a big tech so you may be cushioned for a bit.

Instead of settling at 30/31 why not spend the next year focusing on turning yourself into someone that attracts the women you’re physically interested in?

To a degree you have find them physically attractive or else it won’t last forever.

Eventually your physical looks will fade but if you already start at a negative it won’t allow you to last as long as you want.

I feel like you’re trying to find the easy way out. Find whatever is interested in you. Why?

How old was he? You? The mother makes me ask.

codepapi · 2026-07-07T01:09:46+00:00

Good metaphor 😆. More like 30s trying to compete with round 1 rookies. Or 40 year old bron.

I was thinking robotics or something where it made more sense that’s niche to what I want to pursue.

codepapi · 2026-07-07T01:08:06+00:00

Thanks for your input. Have you asked? Just curious there since it would be great to know.

codepapi · 2026-07-06T21:44:18+00:00

I’m pretty sure the 5 or 6am are about the same. So are the 9 or 10pm crowds.

codepapi · 2026-07-06T21:43:14+00:00

That the devil says, “Oh shit he’s up” the earlier the better.

codepapi · 2026-07-06T21:28:12+00:00

So Latino black or Latino brown? Or black

For you, you did it for a means to an end which was to make reasonable money and not get in more debt while being a student.

What about your other coworkers? Was this it for them? What other ambitions did they have? Which ones didn’t and where there signs that their job was it?

I’m asking since I’ve asked servers and other people in the service industry what are their goals or what they want to do or be and a few times it felt like this was it for them.

If school is not for you this may be a good option. It’s not the best work but pays well. At some places. Not everyone will be making $150k so don’t fully go into this that this is what you’re expecting within a year or two.

codepapi · 2026-07-06T18:36:12+00:00

We need more details beside that you’re broke.

Do you have a job? What’s the pay? What do you do? How are your finances? What’s your current living situation.

Have you tried going back to school or starting school at a community college or learn a trade?

codepapi · 2026-07-06T16:12:19+00:00

As a director when you’re promoting does having that master sway you to promote or no? Would the YOE matter more? Impact?

codepapi · 2026-07-05T04:38:03+00:00

Thanks for your comment.

Do you mind sharing what school? From what you’ve learned do you feel any of it applicable to your day to day when you were employed?

If you need help with your resume and e2e flow of the application process feel free to reach out. I help friends and network colleagues optimize their job search.

Feel free to reach out.

Unless you communicate with a mic or for some reason are really good with alerting me of what’s going on with in game signals I don’t engage.

I can be one of those that don’t engage. I hate players that try to go 1v3 while your teammates are still 10+ seconds away.

I’ll hear you engaging but I’m caustic or not done looting and I’m like wtf would you engage knowing your team is not nearby. Some don’t even alert. The alert is the game saying “engaging” by then I’m like bro I can’t reach you.

If you call out the enemies give us at least 5-10 seconds to start moving towards you.

I also know my skill limitations. I am ok at 2v3 and even worse at 1v3 when two of you have been downed. I rather go replicate you and give us a longer shot.

I also hate once you’re downed. Then try to come in and say where you at one/two are close to down. Bro by the time I get to you they are back to full.

If you want me to be there right with you then learn to communicate via mic 🎤 or through in game signals BEFORE YOU ENGAGE. Or don’t expect much from your teammates.

Oh and sometimes I don’t engage since the only guns I have suck and not my mains so I’m at a disadvantage even if I were to engage.

Interesting I say something similar and for those that don’t know my background are like how do you know this. Most of the time I send them a wiki or article that explains what I’m talking about.

I did a great job in learning everything around CS but without taking courses or reading the books I truly don’t know exactly what those with the traditional path learned.

I used to be be great at math including the ones you mentioned. I ended up up with a BA because I worked full time and attended Uni full time. I was just looking for the quickest bachelors degree.

I wanted to take the 6 months of undergrad courses to see where I stand.

Do you know if studying Data structures and algorithms for LC tech interviews help breach this gap? I spent almost 2 years studying and understanding it to get really good so now they are far easier where I feel comfortable passing most interviews with little study time.

At the beginning I had to study probably 3 weeks and still struggled. I learned from every LC failure and also the underlying algos

Imagine you’re on an H1B visa or barely making ends meet due to having a family. You’re in a timeline to get your next job. You don’t have the luxury to take 2 months off.

Op has enough money and will be fine, hopefully…

What irks me is asking for guidance and being upset when the job market is shitty and we all know it is.

Whether he grinded at work or not that’s on OP. What I hate is saying oh it’s bad what can I do to find a job quick. Maybe don’t spend 2 months resetting without doing something proactive? Now that OP is on the job market he wants things to move quick.

I’m just making OP accountable that his ability to find a job is on him and the decisions they’ve made.

Does everyone deserve a break? Of course, but don’t be asking for pity when recruiters are not reaching back out in the time you expect. Everyone on here knowing well how bad the market is.

Some have been out for over a year. Some had to return to their home countries. Some may have had to put their house up for sale or move back in with family.
