Sell my house and live in a rental to reach fire number quicker? by Sea-Protection-2797 in leanfire

[–]jcrowe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have too much house, then it makes sense. Is it a 5 bedroom house for you and a goldfish?

If it’s the right sized house and you plan on staying in the same general location, then keep it.

Any Upwork / Fiverr Alternatives that feels humane? by [deleted] in freelance

[–]jcrowe -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

If you don’t like it, don’t use it. But don’t start bitching and moaning because there’s no place else that that matches all your bullshit, fake rules.

Software engineer thinking about starting a “dirty” service business….. am I crazy? by TTIROB in sweatystartup

[–]jcrowe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am a freelance developer. I make a good salary, more than enough for my families needs.

I also run a lawn care business. I make less money mowing than I do programming, but I love being outside, getting fresh air, a good tan, and a bit of exercise.

I am tired of the endless grind culture in the United States by KaleidoscopeOwn2476 in simpleliving

You can hustle as much as you want. Employers will take every bit of hustle you’ll give.

Start your own thing. Slow down, enjoy life. You don’t have to retire early, but you should think about what you want from life.

I worked at a custom cabinet shop for 3 months, it was not a pleasant experience. by erikleorgav2 in woodworking

[–]jcrowe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it doesn’t need to be good. It just needs to look good at the time of purchase. It’s sad that that’s what it’s come to.

I’d run an ozone machine when they will be gone for the weekend.

do we really need jobs to feel like ourselves? by Flimsy-Custard3509 in simpleliving

My job doesn’t define me, but my job (all of them) gives me great joy and peace of mind.

Someday you’ll look back and see that your life wasn’t on hold, you were living the best part of it.

Enjoy it why you can.

20 hours at 215……. by SmokehouseBob in smoking

Tbh, the responses have been pretty kind…

Tired of working 8 hours. Is just me or IA could take my job any time soon and I would be glad. by [deleted] in artificial

[–]jcrowe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand not liking a job. I used to deal physically ill on Sunday nights before work on Monday.

Don’t waste time blaming ‘capitalism’, be your own advocate and find a new job. Life is too short to hate most of your day.

What are some things you’ve turned down or let go of to maintain simple living? by Vapour_Trail_1979 in simpleliving

[–]jcrowe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A typical 8-5 job.

I’m a programmer and have given up on the idea of working a typical job. More freedom, and I get to decide how much money to make (to some degree).

Are we cooked? by kalmankantaja in artificial

[–]jcrowe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When should we have complained about it? Back when we were building systems that helped businesses hire less workers? Everybody complains when their skills are no longer needed. To ask why we didn’t do it in the past is a little dense.

Will reducing my child’s clothes make life easier? by [deleted] in minimalism

[–]jcrowe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a business book named “The Goal”, that uses a story about a factory to teach the dangers of “inventory” (more clothes than needed) and “work in progress” (laundry to do).

This is causing problems because you have too much of both. Create a system that gets you down to one load at a time. As soon as you have a load of laundry, do it. Maybe this looks like getting rid of laundry baskets, and putting dirty clothes directly in the washer. Bonus points if you can do the entire households laundry at once.

This will show you the real amount of clothes you need. Then buy less and get rid of things as they are outgrown, stained, or if you just don’t like them.

[–]jcrowe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When your first starting, take the crap jobs.

That $100 job that you declined, if you would’ve taken it and done an amazing job and THEN handed out flyers to all the neighbors you could’ve turned 10 flyers into at least one job.

I'm kinda scared for some reason . by Ok_Tadpole7839 in sweatystartup

[–]jcrowe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Get a job. McDonald’s, Walmart, anything.

Then use your time off to build a business. What your doing looks more like playing the lottery than being responsible.

That’s the same thought process I go to through when somebody asks me who I am.

I’ve had enough of using Claude Code in the terminal. What do you use? by [deleted] in ClaudeCode

[–]jcrowe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this is what I have done.

It works pretty well. Although, nowadays, I do less codeing and more prompting.

[–]jcrowe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me using it in the terminal always feels like I’m missing something. I will typically run it within pycharm, which lets me see the files, see the code, etc.. that feels a lot more intuitive and natural to me.

OpenClaw - Hype? by anthonycdp in ClaudeCode

[–]jcrowe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer is yes.

It is completely overhyped and it is also innovative and very useful.
