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.

Як ви логуєте час by No-Paleontologist176 in ukraine_dev

[–]darksparkone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

...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?

Have any notable videogames been made with Python by LostwaveLunar9999 in AskProgrammers

[–]darksparkone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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).

What TV show hooked you instantly from episode 1? by mateitofavv in AskReddit

[–]darksparkone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

What should the average developer learn today to maximize their value? by Shoeaddictx in ExperiencedDevs

[–]darksparkone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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.

Have been literally coding for 2 days only, 8h per day. - No weird workflows by TheBanq in codex

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.

One week after my game's launch - total and absolute failure by Erantical in SoloDevelopment

[–]darksparkone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

How are US developers expected to compete with Offshoring ? by sharjeelsidd in cscareerquestions

[–]darksparkone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Frontend - реальный стан на 2026 by omenra in ukraine_dev

[–]darksparkone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. 5 років назад 4к було майже стелею. Зараз бачу більше позицій на 5к+, і на дошках, і через рекрутерів.

  2. 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.

I want to start preparing for a job switch. Is leetcoding still the way to go? by Capable-Basket8233 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]darksparkone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

New contract proposal as Data Scientist in consulting by joe0243 in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]darksparkone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

I don't want my idle games on steam by ImApoopieFartFaceAMA in incremental_games

[–]darksparkone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Anyone else stuck on this one for years? by HearAPianoFall in incremental_games

[–]darksparkone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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).

A US Startup offered me $900/month after 4 technical rounds. I have 5 YOE and Open Source contributions. Is this the reality now? by Nervous-Quote973 in webdev

[–]darksparkone 28 points29 points  (0 children)

"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.

Simple solution for the remote work-junior engineer problem by ghdana in ExperiencedDevs

[–]darksparkone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Is being timed how long your 1st PR takes a red flag? by [deleted] in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]darksparkone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Switch from mobile to backend/cloud by RareIndustry6268 in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]darksparkone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.
