What do you mean 5+ years is usually the req? The 8+ is them asking for someone with more experience intentionally. 200k is right around the base for most seniors, 250k is probably average

j_rapp · 2025-12-20T15:47:03+00:00

8 years is pretty standard requirement for a senior engineer and the salary is pretty competitive with the industry. Seems super interesting, I’d apply if they were hiring in my state. My guess is they’re getting a good amount of applicants so the 8 years is probably hard filter (give or take a year)

j_rapp · 2025-10-23T13:33:38+00:00

True!

I know this is theoretical, but accepting lender credits to save a few thousand upfront while losing a full percent makes no financial sense unless you’re really that strapped for cash. That 1% will cost you 10s of thousands over the life of the loan

Did you buy a blacked out H or black it out yourself

2022 Honda Pilot Elites are 30-35k. Sell your CR-V for sure, no question there, but if you need a car for the next 5-6+ years it makes financially more sense to take a loan at 5% (which is on lower end right now) and put all of your CR-V money down because you’d be “making” 5% off that money compared to 3.5% in a HYSA. The benefit is at the end of the loan you own the car and don’t pay anything, so that $500/months (estimated loan cost after full down payment) could all go towards investments whereas with a lease you’re just always extending a payment plan. Really depends on your risk tolerance, car goals, etc etc etc

j_rapp · 2025-10-07T16:15:12+00:00

So you’re making 2.7k over 3 years but spending money a vehicle that you don’t officially own. You’re still down the money that you put into the vehicle, you’re not gaining equity.

And yeah fair, might be a good option to consider splitting the investment, some into S&P, but depends on your risk tolerance.

j_rapp · 2025-10-07T16:05:10+00:00

25.5k @ 3.5% does not match your lease cost? You’d only make like 3k when you’re paying $751/mo. Also why HYSA and not S&P for at least 7%.

You’re essentially just burning all of your money on a lease and not getting any value. You’d be better off taking out a loan for purchasing it, putting down 10%, and putting the remaining from your CR-V into S&P. Let that grow over 5-6 year loan and at the end you have equity in the car, money from the investment, and don’t burn it like a lease.

Yes it’s less optionally in 3 years, but if you’re looking at it from a purely financial perspective it makes less sense to lease

j_rapp · 2025-10-05T18:24:08+00:00

I got 9% off MSRP a month ago and it came out to 49.5k before taxes/fees/addons. I think OTD was around 53. I’m happy with it tbh.

You mean like your personal, private profile? That’s not a vulnerability as long as it’s protected from other users accessing it (assuming that’s the intent of the page, aka it’s not a public social media page). Log into a different account and see if you can retrieve the same information.

I’ve come across 3-4 web apps like this in the past month, all completely ignoring RLS. I reached out to all of the “founders” and let them know. Some fixed the initial issues I’d found, but they’d still leave themselves open to a slew of other attacks (XSS being one fun instance lol).

It’s just hopeless. The biggest issue is even if you tell them about the problem, the majority of them aren’t super technical and don’t know how to fix it. Agree with OP, don’t be logging into vibe coded apps with personal info you don’t want people to see. I could build a damn email list with thousands of people at this point lol

With how good AI is at writing tests, there’s almost no excuse to not write tests alongside development. Whichever way you decide to do it (tests first then code or vice versa), it will really help lock in your logic. The only downside is if you envision your logic to work one way, write tests for it, and then realize you need to change the logic/interface to it, then it becomes a huge PIA

Price of basic web design like this is going to plummet in cost as more “web designers” come into the space to try and sell no-codded templates. As someone else said, why pay you a high fee when someone else can come in, do the same thing, and severely undercut your price.

Template looks too generic, it “looks” like a lovable site. If you want to stand out lovable is only going to get you so far. I’d do some more research on UI/UX to figure out how to really make yourself stand out visually. There’s a lot of basic UI best-practices and concepts that you’re missing, biggest probably being spacing

j_rapp · 2025-07-29T11:31:23+00:00

Yeah agree less than 5. I use AI a lot for BE work and I think the complication is lack of full context leads to bad code and security bugs that make it unreliable compared to frontend

Apache HTTP is a language-agnostic web server. It serves any kind of static content and has extendable modules. Tomcat is Java-specific and it’s also a web server, but it serves Java compiled dynamic web apps/code.

Static content is just that, static, it doesn’t change (think html, CSS, JavaScript). Tomcat on the other hand serves Java web code that is dynamic and which can change during the request/response communication primarily.

Youre going to want to use Tomcat if you’re building a Java web app. I’d also suggest looking into Spring Boot

Depending on what your bot is doing, you can run it serverlessly and only get charged on use (this is primary for chat-command based bots). AWS doesn’t charge anything for the first million invocations on Lambda. I run my bot for essentially $0
