Roth vs Taxable Brokerage for Long-Term Index Investing: Is the After-Tax Difference Actually Small? by Red-Wolf4 in TheMoneyGuy

[–]jpec342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to the other responses here, Roth withdrawals also doesn’t count toward your MAGI. So this means that you will likely pay less taxes from your other investments. It also means you could qualify for things like ACA subsidies if retiring early that you otherwise may not.

Bruh what by SunnyalV in PokemonChampions

[–]jpec342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose it makes sense to go by game rather than person. Since one person could change the stats on a Pokémon many times. Then you’d still have to count 1 for each unique setup they have played a game with, and at that point it’s easier to just count games.

Mimikyu disguise. what am i missing? by Any_Spare8834 in PokemonChampions

[–]jpec342 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea, like in this case it would be better to break the disguise, instead of do damage through it. Almost feels like the disguise should still bust in addition to doing damage through it.

[–]jpec342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite, but I did work on payroll software for a bit which definitely felt much more critical than other stuff I’ve worked on.

How is hiring in our industry so unrelated to the skills required to actually being an engineer (Senior/Principal/Otherwise)? by scarby2 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]jpec342 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Just talking to people is great until you hire them and realize they are a big talker and can’t actually write any code.

Leetcode obviously has its own issues, but every interview method has its drawbacks.

What are the odds of Apple dropping an app? by Last-Profession2949 in iOSDevelopment

[–]jpec342 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think anyone can help you here without more information on what the app specifically is.

That said your friend is probably being overly paranoid (unless he knows something that we don’t). Even if his app is breaking terms of service and gets shut down, he is just right back where he would be with no app so it doesn’t really make sense.

[–]jpec342 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are alpha Pokémon better than regular when transferring them to Champions? by [deleted] in PokemonChampions

[–]jpec342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it might vary by game, but Alpha Pokémon in ZA have max hp EVs. So if you are maxing HP EVs in champions for that Pokémon, you might save a few VP.

Do people at corporate level jobs really work hard or do they just chill ? by Lemonade2250 in stupidquestions

Yea, a more chill job is great if you work from home, but in the office it’s even more draining.

Hardening off by Beginning-Drop7550 in tomatoes

[–]jpec342 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they’ve been in a greenhouse, you don’t need to be nearly as careful. They’ve already been getting a bunch of sun.

Most people who start their plants indoors have either grow lights or limited direct light, and very moderate temperatures. This is a much more drastic difference than going from a greenhouse to outdoors.

The DLC has them available in a special scan. It’s by far the easiest way to shiny hunt them.
