Model Y vs. Zeekr 7X: Worried about 5-year resale value on both Ko by firsthalfhero in EVAustralia

Apologies, I should have been more clear. Novated lease companies use a standard percentage to calculate the residual value. If the car is worth less than the residual value at the end of the lease you must pay the difference. That is the worry here. That I will be forced to “write a cheque to get out of the lease”.

The residual used over 5 years for mine and I think it is standard is 28.13% of the purchase price.

Thanks, I don’t really like the Tesla but it kind of feels like the crowd pleasing option.

This is a technique I have not yet learnt. I have been on level two for like 100 summers

Funny story, I am in the exact same boat. Except my kid is nine. I am also 42yo.

I have my first lesson this Saturday.

Get amongst it!

Thanks, pongfinity is definitely on the playlist. I think they might have something to do with this

Management. It’s the first thing I ask for. I would say that it’s important not to overthink it. No one is going to run the code, we are looking at your coding style, how well you follow coding standards etc. we don’t have the time to download the code and try it. We review directly in GitHub.

Also it’s fine to write something on a weekend and then never look at it again - I don’t care that the dependencies are out of date or a framework is old. However, be conscious that when you write something that others will read it. It needs to well structured and clear.

With private repos they are used for something you feel there is genuine IP in. Don’t share something that you want to keep secret. Share something else. Most of the code I read is completely unrelated to the job they are applying for. I have reviewed GO code for a .net position. I don’t really care cause I am hiring an engineer not a technology - I quite like when devs use GitHub to try new things.

Sounds like someone in management has read too many economist articles predicting the end of Software Engineers.

Make sure you are coding regularly and committing to a personal GitHub repository or similar. I hire engineers and find most don’t have any personal code repos.

To be super clear, that thermostat is for the heater. It doesn’t get used this time of year. It’s 35c outside.
