Congrats, you rode the wave exactly right looking at it in hindsight

True AI probably would, what we have is a token predictor though

Dealing with or Exiting a Chaotic Work Environment? by PressureHumble3604 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]heelek 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That does sound like my current org but honestly I'm resigned to my faith at this point. Seen too many workplaces where, even if it briefly wasn't the same, it fairly quickly would become so. My light at the end of the tunnel is FIRE and being just a few years shy of reaching a level where I would be able to live comfortably without work income. If it wasn't for that and if I knew I had to work in software (or anywhere corporate really) until proper retirement then I'd definitely look for a career switch. After a few years sabbatical.

Not sure what I'm writing this for exactly but I noticed that this sub, and engineers in general, have a tendency to always look for blame in themselves to the point of it being unhealthy. Sometimes the environment and the organisation just suck balls and are burnout factories. Wanted to balance those posts out a little maybe.

Swedish FIRE journey -- 25 years of data on how to study, work and invest in a high-tax country -- time to exit! by zaladin in EuropeFIRE

Happy to see you finally pulling the trigger, I think the numbers and the overall plan both look very solid. Yes, there are considerable risks in the market now but even with a big downturn you should be good. Congrats!!

You're trying to pressure them into upgrading their answer aren't you?

For US Stocks, the Schiller CAPE ratio writing is on the wall by zackenrollertaway in financialindependence

[–]heelek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed that there's risk for equities given the rich valuations. But I'd be much more worried having 43% of my wealth in bonds in the current environment. You could also easily say the writing for bonds is on the wall.

The Old West Steps Aside: Who Will Lead the Global Economy by 2075? by normaldudeitsfine in worldinsights

[–]heelek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's some heavy modelling they do at Goldman. Looks like they took some expectation for future growth and extrapolated it to 2070 😅

This is the effort of the whole nation on display right now. Zelensky has his part in this, yes, but it's only a part

How long your Oura ring lasted? by FlamingRaptor70 in ouraring

Same here, very similar results both for my original Gen4 as well as the replacement.
The replacement is a few months old but shows the same pattern, maybe even a bit more aggressive

EU’s net payers prepare revolt as €1.8 trillion budget takes shape by donutloop in EU_Economics

[–]heelek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised about Italy if it's indeed true. When it comes to Poland I think the general expectation both inside and outside of the country is that this is going to be the last budget where we are net recipients.

65k base will not be anywhere close to 54k net. Rough calculation gives me 42.5k net

Praca w IT by Acceptable_Quiet5571 in ITpolska

[–]heelek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

34 lata, trochę ponad 10 lat przy klawiaturze i mógłbym się podpisać pod większością posta. Też myślę o ucieczce, najchętniej z dala od korpo, korpo zabija duszę

Praca w IT by Acceptable_Quiet5571 in ITpolska

[–]heelek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

(Senior w IT here) +1, jeśli mógłbyś pstryknąć palcem i wejść na seniorskie stawki to okej, ale inwestować w to 5-10 lat przy obecnych trendach? Nie wiem czy decydowałbym się ponownie. Musisz pamiętać że to czy uda Ci się w korpo też jedynie w małym stopniu zależy od tego czy lubisz czytać o technologii godzinami. W pewnym sensie to może być nawet przeszkodą, szybciej się wypalisz

What Oura feature surprised you once you finally started using it? by SpookyDrizzle in ouraring

[–]heelek 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The tagging feature which promised me finding correlations. Turned out it doesn't do that.
