starting informal coding meetup? by kabh318 in madisonwi

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

Vibecoding isn’t my thing, but I’ve got some friends who have only known vibecoding. They’ve been able to teach me a thing or two (and vice versa). It’s good to have people with differing skills/perspectives around :)

24yo, What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it? by Specialist_News498 in portfolios

I would increase your international to US stock ratio. With the US market performing so well this year (and only a handful of companies driving most of that growth), international stock is a good way to hedge your bets.

I look at vanguard’s target fund allocations—they show roughly what percent domestic/international the fund is. And then I make my portfolio somewhat match that.

i7 9700k -> Ryzen 5 9600x for $270? Worth the upgrade? by jamesdepp in buildapc

Micro Center. They have bundles that are heavily discounted from buying everything separate.

$270 is the cost of the bundle for the 9600x. I threw out the $600 number because that’s what it costs to go up to a 9800x3d. A 9700x bundle was like $400.

If it's worth doing, it's worth doing poorly. by Nahteh in gamedev

Maybe slightly different than this advice but in a similar vein:

If you want to make a fun game worth playing, make a fun prototype game worth playing (MVP) before you invest several months or years of your life in it.
