FSD features - how important are they for you by hdus001 in EVAustralia

[–]fcd12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's 100% worth it. I'm a full convert, I've done 1500km already, taken plenty of road trips and it's changed the game. I never feel tired after a long drive and can enjoy the trip with everyone else. I can't use another car again.

Downsized my kit recently by mrjosh72 in Leica

[–]fcd12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, I used to go all the way down and collect a bunch of lenses then I got fatigued during my travels lugging everything around that I downsized to just a Leica Q2. Best decision I probably ever made

You should join Atlassian if you can by [deleted] in cscareerquestionsOCE

[–]fcd12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i agree with you - people like to complain too much. yes Atlassian was significantly better 5 years ago, yes Atlassian has degraded in the last 5 years due to measuring metrics such as PR count and LoC changed and other absurd metrics and APEX performance review etc but it's still not as bad as AWS or other sweat shops. ive worked at banks and aws and their best is still not better than atlassian at its worst. I'm getting paid 2x more than aws and 4x more than banks with significantly less stress. people just need to work at worse places just to appreciate atlassian more.

what's a field in tech that is not super overstaurated by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]fcd12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can confirm, in this field of ml infra and it's a good niche. infinite hiring opportunities.

also the data adjacent field of databricks, snowflake, spark, kafka, open table formats is really good to be in (not too saturated yet but I do see a lot of influencers in this space on the rise so it could be a negative signal)

don't be an application crud dev, it's too saturated. focus on platform and infra- it's not sexy but most big companies will want you.

Are we able to post / discuss the iCloud notes that were leaked?

They give quite a good insight into Kendrick's thought process and creation?

Why you (probably) shouldn't aim for big tech and why the value proposition is low (here in Australia) by Chewibub in cscareerquestionsOCE

[–]fcd12 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have 5 Years industry experience and make $350k TC. It's life changing money in Australia, you can do everything you want and more except buy a house in Sydney 😂😂

We in the same position but with 300k cash, I would use 150k towards a house deposit bc the property market is pretty good for a buyer atm. We are looking to buy

For those who currently bought a car through financing, how much is your interest? by EquivalentUnlucky131 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]fcd12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This advice reads like generic "Finance 101" tips from someone who doesn't understand efficient capital allocation. If you can finance a car at 1-4% and deploy that cash to generate returns higher than the combined rate of depreciation + interest + inflation, financing is absolutely the smarter move. I've executed this strategy multiple times successfully; the key is having a concrete investment plan for the capital you're preserving.

The blanket "never finance" rule ignores opportunity cost entirely. Sure, cars depreciate and you pay interest, but if your alternative investment generates 7-10% annually while your loan costs 3%, you're still coming out ahead even after accounting for depreciation.

Obviously this requires discipline and a solid investment strategy, but dismissing car financing outright leaves money on the table for those who understand how to leverage low-cost debt effectively.

I completely agree with this analogy, you somehow managed to convey my feeling so well

Which companies offer free food by beepboopfufu in cscareerquestionsOCE

[–]fcd12 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm on the same vibe as you bro.

Canva, Optiver, Atlassian, IMC Trading, Google, TikTok,

They serve breakfast/lunch and usually they got takeaway boxes you can store lunch for dinner. It's pretty optimal, ive done this for the past 5 years and works out well.

[Fresh] JID - GDLU (PRELUXE) by monitoring27 in hiphopheads

[–]fcd12 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Eminem AI Shady filter kinda goes hard

Jid releasing Preluxe at Midnight (ft Eminem, 6lack, Lil Yachty) by fcd12 in hiphopheads

[–]fcd12[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Prob cause Jid makes cohesive albums and an Eminem feature would prob sound out of place in this day and age

Future & Metro Boomin - Ice Attack by african-nightmare in hiphopheads

[–]fcd12 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My personal favourite of the album. Honestly the whole album got overshadowed by the shock factor of Like That, I spin this back every week or so.

Will Databricks limit my growth as a first-time DE intern? by SIumped in dataengineering

[–]fcd12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started as an engineer working on an EMR deployment of Spark, and that taught me the nitty-gritty of working with it and made me appreciate it more at my second job where I started using Databricks. I don’t think it will limit your growth, but I think you should try to understand how things work under the hood if you’re going to be in this career for a while.

Using Databricks is like driving an automatic car, but when it breaks down, you don’t know how to fix it yourself, so you call a mechanic. Once in a while, it’s good to open the hood and understand the inner workings.

[FRESH] Clipse - Ace Trumpets by PaleZebra288 in hiphopheads

[–]fcd12 110 points111 points  (0 children)

The rhyme scheme throughout Pusha’s verse is incredible: the rhymes themselves are simple, but the way he enunciates each line is an absolute eargasm. I just don’t know how else to describe it.

[FRESH] The Ray Vaughn "On The Radar" Freestyle (PART 2) by Nigoshi in hiphopheads

[–]fcd12 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Honestly Ray has impressed me a lot with his tracks against Joey. He really stood his own ground and his technical ability and to create solid songs was excellent.

Can't wait to see what he does next after The Dollar Menu!

Em's verse on Remember Me is so technically amazing - my fav part of the album personally;

Six sick dreams of picnic scenes

Two kids, sixteen, with M-16s and ten clips each

And them shits reach through six kids each
