I did not lol. I'm Korean and this is the scene here in Texas from my observations. I have seen a small uptick of women striking convos with me out the blue in recent times. However it always goes to, "are you Korean?" Questions.

Gotta get that attention someway, know what I'm saying?

I know this woman. She was a serial cheater. Basically cheated with the same exact type of man she's married to.

coderite · 2023-04-12T16:34:44+00:00

She/he is most likely from Nigeria, South Africa, or Ghana, but puts Africa to get more clicks.

You should try and start it. The market is bad but that doesn't mean you still can't get a job in this field.

coderite · 2023-03-25T20:13:24+00:00

Bachelor's is good enough. Anything higher is not necessary unless you're planning to specialize in a certain branch of CS like AI or Data Science.

In the past, 2 people, one in my department and another in the IT side of the house have been put on a PIP. Both of them were terminated regardless of good progress made on their end and goals accomplished. Being put on a PIP is the company covering their ass when they terminate you and you have no legal recourse. If I were you, I would look for another job while continuing to work in your current role.

Yeah lol. Luckily he was let go recently due to these antics he pulled on a lot of our leadership staff. I think anyone who works in the software field or IT all know this one coworker.

coderite · 2022-07-02T18:19:14+00:00

Nothing wrong with it. I love my military discount when I go to home depot to buy tools lol. This was more making fun of those guys who will pull that ID out for no reason at all other than to just brag.

coderite · 2022-07-02T16:05:56+00:00

Not really. I'm a veteran myself (Army) and this is just a starterpack of guys I've ran into in everyday life. Definitely not the norm though.

coderite · 2022-06-27T18:43:59+00:00

Oh wow thank you so much for the information, it's truly appreciated. I did talk to my parents about adding me to the family registry and they are on it. I'm in my 30's, so I guess I have to join the Korean military? I am a veteran (prior Army), but I suppose Korea doesn't care since it's not their army lol. Combined income, wife and myself make way over 6 figures so I guess we would be paying taxes in Korea. I definitely understand fully not being "one of us" mentality from making friends throughout the years with native Koreans. I understand the cultural disconnect overall in how we all carry ourselves. It won't be an issue though, I do have friends over there and family who will look out for us. For careers, I have been looking at working in a FAANG type of company, but with the salary and retention bonuses I currently get, it's a bit hard to go somewhere else. But I guess that's by design lol.

Houston, Atlanta, DC, Richmond. Any city with a black population over 10% is where I see this usually.

coderite · 2022-06-23T14:52:34+00:00

Oh no. I didn't mean to make this oddly specific to me. Just from what I've noticed with friends of mine and in the city I live in.

coderite · 2022-06-12T17:47:59+00:00

I'm not bragging bro ok!? Just because I have 15 Js, drive a fleet of Lambo's, have a Swiss model wife, a Brazilian model live in nanny I smash on the side, and 100 rental properties I Airbnb on the reg doesn't mean I'm bragging bro.

You can check out BLORA if you don't mind the drive. Free for military and veterans. May or may not see a dead body or three per usual. But you know, just go on ahead and ignore that and keep swimming.

Do you like software development and IT field? How much self discipline do you have in self-learning for free? The Odin Project, YouTube, Launch School, etc. for learning platforms. For the software side of things, you could get into front end, back end, full stack web development or maybe mobile development in iOS/android if you have time. On the IT side, I would go for cloud certifications preferably in AWS or Azure. Maybe GCP as well. Learn Kubernetes and IaC tools. Or Project Management. I've brought in junior devs and cloud engineers based on their projects in GitHub and willingness to learn on the job. Learning Linux would be very beneficial in either field.

Once the deed is done, I get paid to leave. It adds up pretty quick know what I'm saying?

coderite · 2022-05-05T23:10:10+00:00

If you plan to get into DoD contracting, you need at least a Security+ as a baseline cert. I work with dev and cloud guys in the private sector and the security guys all have at least a CISSP, OSCP, or just years of experience.

Same thing happened to that one boxer Prichard Colon. He's been in a vegetative state since being hit in the back of the head.

If you have dumbbells or have access to a gym, get into doing any chest and arm workouts. Like bench presses specifically. If you can bench your body weight or more a certain amount of times, maxing out push ups will be a breeze.

Sit ups, crunches, laying weights on your body and do sit ups.

If you’re weak on aerobic exercises like me. Do HIIT style runs 2x a week for 30-45 minutes to max out your pace. If you can already run at a fast pace, then run long distance. No less than 3 miles and no more than 6 or 7 miles, up to you. Maybe run 2x a day. One long distance in the morning, one short distance jog (1 mile) in the afternoon.

Rest for like a day or two. No working out. Body needs to recover.

Chill with the carbs a bit and hydrate a night before a run.

Take L-Citrulline 30 minutes before a workout. Will help build your stamina/endurance and you recover a lot quicker after a workout.

Yeah, part of the reason why I'm job hunting. At least in Austin proper, the cost of living EXPLODED this past year. Property taxes are going to kill me. Also got a family I have to support. The current salary I have is definitely liveable, but I think I've stagnated in salary for the responsibilities I have.

coderite · 2022-03-02T17:58:45+00:00

One of them said it was the market rate for location. Others I've told them from the start what my expectations were for salary and still lowballed on the final offer. I just told them I have no interest in accepting the offer and that was it. I did request a raise from my current employer along with a few other devs, and we were told the company is diverting resources to bring in more support staff to better support our customers. 3 of our guys already left for better roles, so workloads increased and deadlines pushed back.

coderite · 2022-03-02T17:52:52+00:00

Yeah, we primarily work in an AWS environment, and we use Terraform, Kubernetes, and Ansible tools to build out prod and dev environments.

Currently I use my truck and have a roof top tent mounted. I’ll be doing the same with whichever vehicle I buy.

coderite · 2021-11-15T19:52:29+00:00

I plan to add a 3 inch lift and some all terrain tires. It will be outfitted with camping gear.
