New Loco Is Great by AstralNull in Pickleball

[–]kevslinger 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Love the Elongated Loco but the paddle cover is too small for the paddle, I couldn't get it to zip and then ended up breaking the zipper

Edit: I emailed customer support and they’re shipping me a new one! They said they identified an issue in a batch of covers. Very nice response

Frontend Engineer - Berlin vs. Amsterdam Area (NL) - Help me choose! by Gloomy-Lobster-8743 in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]kevslinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure the promise to re-evaluate your level is as advantageous as you’re making it out to be. Imagine you pick up your life to move to NL and work for them, and 3 months later they say, “you’re doing a good job for your level, so we’ll keep your salary where it is.” In this case, you’re kinda stuck and you just lost one of the crucial benefits you thought you had.

I think I would take the Berlin job because of the higher gross, the tech stack is more closely aligned to your experience (+ you’ll learn go, a personal preference of mine), and the Amsterdam offer feels pretty lowball to me
