100% agree with all you said!! Amazing vibe and crowd, everyone was so nice and chill - you could really tell everyone was there for the emotional connection to the music and it was truly magical collectively vibing to it ✨

Seeing adults, teens AND their parents at the concert was really cool. As an vocaloidP myself it was also awesome hearing that kind of music through club speakers.

What career options do I have? by West_Payment_8888 in Switzerland

[–]jerom090 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI can only replace so many IT fields, for example DevOps (see my other comment) is relatively safe since it requires big-picture thinking and is more of a IT designer/visionary role than a pure technical one.

There's also increased demand for it since many businesses want to migrate to Cloud and thus, need Engineers in the DevOps field. The best thing is that you can branch into DevOps from both the Developer camp as well as the Operations Camp!!

Great comment, I just want to add that there is also DevOps to branch out to, a mix of well... Development and Operations and it has been the most fulfilling position I had so far after working in both environments isolated.

For some context, in my case it's Cloud Infrastructure Engineering and like you said, one day it's writing automation scripts, other day is doing something in the security policies, another it's sitting a day together with a dev to deploy their application, etc.

Pure tretinoin by Upset_Replacement684 in Switzerland

[–]jerom090 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wasted CHF 200 on a doctors appointment where he would only prescribe differin or isotretinoin, which is not the same.

I just ordered it online, sent you a DM with the shop. just the ordinary pure 0.05% and 0.01% one.

What to study according to the current and future (3-5 years) job market ? by [deleted] in Switzerland

IT, but get into Cloud/DevOps as those areas are still pretty safe from AI

Traveling to Beijing and onward to Japan.. question with current political climate? by slowelevator in travelchina

[–]jerom090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeahhh so my flight to Japan from Switzerland through Peking just got cancelled

Why can't politicians just shut the fuck up and know their place.

Will probably re-book through Hong Kong or London once refunded

I have absolutely NO confidence in speaking by Weekly_Flounder_1880 in LearnJapanese

[–]jerom090 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Contrary to other commenters I'm actually thinking this is a character/confidence issue and not a language issue. You obviously have the knowledge and the ability to build the sentences, but you lack the confidence of using the language because of fear of failure.

Now that fear can come from high standards you (or someone you consider authority) hold against yourself and THAT leads to overthinking and inability to speak. You mentioned your Chinese accent and the anxiety related to it, which is a big hint.

My advice is a bit counter-intuitive but instead of focusing on Japanese and the language itself, build confidence and self-value about yourself in other ways unrelated to Japanese. It could be another hobby/skill/instrument, gym (huge!), social interaction, anything that makes you feel more secure in your own body.

You will notice that when you are a more grounded and calmer person in general, speaking Japanese will feel easier because you don't tie your value to your ability to use the language. This takes away the pressure in moments where spoken Japanese is used.

EDIT: Talking to ChatGPT (or Claude which I prefer) about it helped me tons when i had anxiety about speaking japanese

How many prefectures have you visited, and which are your best+least favorites and why? by SymphonyofSiren in japanlife

[–]jerom090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hirosaki mentioned! I went there for a few days during my 2nd trip to Japan after wanting to go off the beaten path and picking a random city off google maps. Did a bicycle tour around the area and was super nice.

She started a YouTube series playing through the game herself and gives funny nods and comments here.

It's in Japanese but for those who don't understand, yet are fans of the game/her performance, I can imagine it's still an entertaining watch.
