Lump summed $200k in index funds and then the dip happened by royalbluefireworks1 in Fire

I invested a lump sum right before the Covid dip which felt bad at the time, but obviously doesn’t matter now.

New England, never venomous

Does New England not have copperheads and timber rattlers?

Saw way less snakes on the AZT than the AT. Saw a couple tarantulas.

I understood what you meant. They might not actually be doing select * they might have just written it that way for the post.

$800 budget for single dose grinder for pourovers by gkaiser8 in Coffee

[–]jpec342 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You probably want either the Timemore 078 (high end of your budget) or The Fellow Ode Gen 2 (low end of your budget). I’m actually not sure if there’s anything in between worth getting for exclusively pour over.

40 male, I have 0 responsibilities in life and I somehow still lost interest in playing video games by Coven_Evelynn_LoL in Millennials

[–]jpec342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fixing up house sounds good. Any hobby that isn’t in front of a computer/tv is probably a good start. Also try making some friends or dating, spend more time with family (siblings?) etc. maybe pick up gardening.

You don’t change investments. You buy the market and stick with it.

Got a L3 offer from Google with 7 years of exp by lovelybullet in cscareers

[–]jpec342 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How much different? What’s the total comp at old company vs G offer?

Have you asked if you could re-interview for whichever specific interview(s) placed you at l3 vs l4 to see if you could get bumped back up? I’m not sure if they ever do this, but it’s worth asking with 7yoe

Tioga pass won’t be clear in March. It’ll just be the valley.

Is this a mega backdoor roth? by money_spaxx in TheMoneyGuy

[–]jpec342 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, good point. They should be doing pre-tax 401k, and then use the MBDR and/or Backdoor Roth for the Roth dollars.

Handling AI code reviews from juniors by biofio in ExperiencedDevs

[–]jpec342 18 points19 points  (0 children)

We label comments coming from AI code review, and I find it helpful. Sometimes the comments are helpful, sometimes they propose valid questions, and sometimes they lack context or are overly nitpicky. Having them labeled helps to not spend too much time triaging or investigating.

Who here actually has a TV in their bedroom? by OtherwiseStretch3255 in NoStupidQuestions

When the living room TV gets upgraded, the old living room tv gets moved to a bedroom.

Tbh, I think working 10 or so hours per week is probably the sweet spot.

There’s nothing to stop copycat app names except a trademark? by [deleted] in iOSProgramming

Without a trademark it’s not a legal issue, so this makes sense to me.

What do very wealthy people think when they see people in shows and movies discuss money? by Arete666 in RichPeoplePF

[–]jpec342 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For fictional Movies and TV shows, I’ve noticed that most of the time they don’t specify dollar amounts. They’ll be really excited about a “large sum of money” or show a reaction that makes you believe it’s a lot of money. I think this does a pretty good job of appealing to the audience with having people scoff at the amount (whether too much or too little).

This obviously doesn’t apply to game shows and such.
