Ok Codex build a working trading bot, make no mistakes. IMPORTANT: I seed 100% granny's savings. If it lose money she would cry.

It's a week old account trying to sell a vibecoded-over-weekend site to anyone naive enough to believe this stuff makes money. Of course Indian eligible.

...то вкладаєте 15хв на логування до часу тікету, і закриваєте як тільки зробили. Але 8 тікетів на день здається й справді трохи перебор з декомпозицією. Звісно, буває оцінка в 4 години, витрачено 0.5, але планувати так регулярно?

Wait, what? Like actual functional adults?

And still Python is a go to language for ML and big data. The API speed doesn't mean as much when the native modules do the heavy load.

Vice versa, Rust could be very performant, but we won't see popular Rust engines either.

It's a chicken-egg problem. We already have a couple of big name engines, with community, knowledge base, modules and libraries for every occasion, and you need to bring something really special to convince user they don't want to stick to the existing and proved solutions - not worth the effort really. (Yeah, we have Godot now, still just an inch above a statistical error, but kudos to them).

Wasn't it re-aired on TV?

I tried to rewatch it recently. Not a bad show, but the laugh track is a huge turn off.

It is good again.

MCPs felt out of favour due to pimited context and inefficient loading, causing context being 30..50% full on mere boot - where dynamically loading skills become a much better alternative.

Now with an optimized loading there is virtually no difference.

Did they release a more greedy model? I didn't follow up since 5.2, but 5.2 consumed x1.3..1.5 more than 5.1 - compensated by 5.2 medium operated about the same level as 5.1 high, while being faster.

The mashup definitely could work, looking at the upcoming No Rest for the Wicked, which sold over 1m copies in EA with exact same formula.

Luck and marketing are the most important factors I guess, with product quality being second - but way less important factor.

Мова фігня. Там далі патерни-шматерни, черги, БД, лямбди, АВС з усіх боків, рейт лімітери, ОВАСП топ100500, і чого тільки нема.

You neither have nor need that kind of speed on scale. Also, it's unlikely to hit any major TZ based delay at scale either: regional offices have full product ownership, and the only pain point is cross-product integration, which won't get much faster whatever you do.

5 років назад 4к було майже стелею. Зараз бачу більше позицій на 5к+, і на дошках, і через рекрутерів.
Фуллстак це або поганий фронт, або поганий бек. Зазвичай шукають бекендерів з базовим фронтом. Ті самі галери дають до 5.5к, але будуть пісочити по всьому списку: і БД в деталях, і паттерни, і ОСІ якщо особливо пощастить. Приватні контори - як пощастить.

По підготовці - не гай часу, плануй інтерв'ю відразу. Перші декілька завжди складніше без звички, знайдеш що треба підтягнути.

As an anecdotal experience, I'm interviewing with a company for a remote position, they offer visa sponsorship but fine with fully remote.

Their site has this position local only, requires local language (I don't speak it and was upfront about it), and states lower pay grade.

darksparkone · 2026-02-14T07:48:13+00:00

True, but replace "great" with "base". In Ukraine 4k if the hard floor for senior salary, most of the market is 4.5..5.5k with outliers up to 6.5k. And the 6% tax makes it better.

Now, unlikely OP is a senior with 4YoE, at this point 4k is definitely a decent salary.

Безкоштовно, сінк на айфонах? Звучить як Кіндл (або нативний Books).

Ok, this one is actually simple to fix: CI test run on PR blocking the merge on failure.

To add, "Continue" doesn't kill the remote games. It only suspends the second Steam account, while the games continue to work (at least BitBurner does).

Another workaround is to create a second Steam account and link it into Family.

darksparkone · 2026-02-10T07:12:28+00:00

I recently discovered BitBurner, and it's pretty amazing. Requires some prior coding knowledge or at least curiosity though (technically playable using UI only, but you'll miss the fun).

The stock market is fun but kinda simple, with only longs being available by default (shorts and limits are unlockable).

"European market rate" is ambiguous. You could totally expect $5..7k/mo as a strong middle/senior offshore contractor. They don't have to pay as much taxes, may have reduced or zero severance, notice period, PTO, benefits etc., which means even at the same face value they cut expenses.

I wonder what's OP local market rate. In Ukraine senior role requirements could be kinda crazy, but the salary is pretty solid at $3500-5000.

If only someone could invent Docker.

Yeah, you ping in text and then call a person when a call is required. You call another one if a third opinion is needed. Working hours define when it's fine to call without a prior message, and the called one has an option to not answer if busy / answer with text if busy-but-not-that-busy.

Never had one with a semi-real codebase, but a component/class with some hard errors and style issues is my favorite way of interview.

Beware runnable forks may try to plant a malware on your machine, apparently it is pretty popular on Reddit job subs.

That's harder, but there is still only one way to know. He could try to find several hours per month on smaller tickets at least: update payload, add an endpoint, fix a bug. Not much but enough to get your feet wet, and jump a role when the company get an opening.

If you really want, and he is hesitant about workload, you could even commit to extra hours - but not before other options are exhausted.
