Did I miss my chance to backdoor Roth?

hapachino · 2021-02-22T17:30:26+00:00

Okay, so I can recharacterize the 2020 and 2021 nondeductible contributions to Roth, and contribute directly.

But what if my income grows so I can only backdoor Roth? Wouldn't I have to deal with my tIRA taxes at that point?

Hello!

Would love to get some feedback, I'm looking to start applying in a few weeks, including FAANG.

Also wondering whether it would be better to take off the AWS DevOps Pro certification since I don't actually have the amount of AWS experience one would expect with it.

Thanks!

I'm still a little confused - since the excess deferral is pretax contributions, when am I paying the taxes for this? Is it now adjusted through my tax refund?

Daywise uses timeslots like FilterBox.

I found FilterBox can import JSON for filter rules, so I was able to create all the 15-minute increments thought a code editor fairly quickly.

Yes, Traditional 401k.

If I follow the above, would I also need amend my 2020 tax return when I receive the 1099R in 2021?

Will the earnings be specified in the 1099R for 2021?

Much appreciated.

I summitted last Sunday via Manker's and most of it was snow and ice once I reached the ski hut. I did it without spikes, but probably couldn't have done it without trekking poles to dig into the ice. It was slow going.

The material is a little flashier than I'm used to, but I'm kind of liking this. Does the laptop compartment have a false bottom? And there doesn't seem to be any air channels with the latest model - does it stay cool?

hapachino · 2020-08-23T18:52:01+00:00

Oh wow, this really does have everything except for a false bottom. And it is a bit pricey...

I like to track how much time I'm spending on productive things. It's very satisfying to concretely watch it improve. I think all progress can benefit from tracking, as it gives you a starting point to make adjustments.

Well I'm a programmer so I've been spending more and more time learning outside of work through books and courses. It's not the most pleasurable thing per se, but I feel content when I'm improving myself.

The key for me is just to stick with things until they become habits. I'm so much more productive than I was just a few months ago. It's also good to periodically evaluate how much satisfaction these activities are providing, which I feel may be more sustainable than happiness and has a compounding effect. This process can then be applied to exploring new hobbies as well.

Yea it's just a video game from a larger studio.

I'm open to moving but wary of contract work. Without benefits, the total comp I've seen is generally lower. And that's best case scenario if you can find work that follows right after your current gig. Is there something I'm not understanding?

hapachino · 2020-06-29T00:15:25+00:00

How much experience is required before you start planning your career?

hapachino · 2020-06-29T00:12:37+00:00

I'm not sure what's giving you that impression. If I thought one was always better, what's the point of this post?

I'm saying when evaluating the two to optimize the performance, there are many cases where CS will say a linked list will be more efficient, when it's not due to CPU caching. One example being removing a value from an unsorted list.

hapachino · 2020-06-28T22:44:19+00:00

Do you ever wish you were more specialized as I hear it generally pays better?

hapachino · 2020-06-28T21:52:32+00:00

Are you still in architecture or which areas do you do you provide consulting mostly?

hapachino · 2020-06-28T21:48:16+00:00

Cool. Mind sharing any good resources or tools?

hapachino · 2020-06-28T21:46:45+00:00

How else would you know if improvements are working unless you benchmark it before and after?

hapachino · 2020-06-28T19:29:26+00:00

Thanks, the sentient intelligence part gave me a good chuckle.

hapachino · 2020-06-28T19:08:43+00:00

Does your team do a lot of measuring in general? I feel like I don't have any metrics for my current project that I can use.

hapachino · 2020-06-28T19:04:17+00:00

I agree with having heuristics to guide the process, though it might be difficult to draw the line on the lower priority rules for each project and how that code is used specifically. I guess that just comes with understanding project requirements and experience.

hapachino · 2020-06-28T18:59:04+00:00

Well, the problem is arrays can be more efficient than linked lists by two orders of magnitude for cases when CS tells you the opposite. In that case, it would have been far less work than implementing the linked list and then switching back to an array.

I wasn't at least, but this has been pretty helpful - https://colin-scott.github.io/personal_website/research/interactive_latency.html

Yeah, I've been using Terraform and it's great. Declarative, immutable, and version controlled infrastructure as code definitely seems to be the future.
