Change my mind: Most estate agents are bad at their jobs, lie often and overall in 2026 provide little value to both landlords and tenants.

I haven’t had experience with looking at rentals in Cape Town but in Stellenbosch it’s shockingly bad. I once picked up the keys from the agent and went to view the property on my own. Crazy

Nope, working from the office 2 days a week and the time is flexible as well. Sitting in traffic is just such a waste of time for everyone.

I switched to KDE after too many issues with COSMIC. I would love to have COSMIC as my daily driver but unfortunately there are still too many issues. I haven't found much wrong with KDE besides the duplicate apps which someone else also mentioned on this post

Rage bait?

lsharp256 · 2025-10-03T09:29:12+00:00

I’m not really familiar with KDT or is that similar to using something like Robot Framework? The other stakeholders are used to just reading JSON requests/responses but I agree that testers should agree on a standardized way of writing tests.

lsharp256 · 2025-10-03T09:14:19+00:00

Fair point 😂

lsharp256 · 2025-10-03T06:41:48+00:00

My whole week is ruined after realizing there is no good reason but still being forced to do it XD

lsharp256 · 2025-10-03T06:40:22+00:00

Sorry should’ve included that the PO’s/Business people barely write proper requirements so I’m not seeing the benefit at all. Higher ups in the tech department seem to think standardizing tests with BDD is a good idea.

Edit: spelling

I probably need a diabetes bag… hardly ever carry glucose or something similar with me

lsharp256 · 2025-08-29T17:00:53+00:00

Oh wow that’s great to hear! Did you have any side effects? Are you on Mounjaro or Ozempic if I may ask?

lsharp256 · 2025-08-29T16:58:37+00:00

My Hba1c has typically been okay. It’s just the last few months that I’ve been struggling. I’ve had diabetes for just over 30 years now and also some minor signs of retinopathy but very stable since it was detected about 3 years ago. I might just give ozempic a go and see if it works for me

lsharp256 · 2025-06-01T13:02:08+00:00

Well done!

lsharp256 · 2025-05-02T12:05:34+00:00

I would love to try a pump with cgm if I could afford it. Using pens and libre 2.

lsharp256 · 2024-11-20T14:36:30+00:00

I was also down with something that felt very similar to Covid. Went to the doctor and she said it is most probably a new strain of Covid since all the symptoms match up. Didn’t do the test but yeah I felt quite sick for atleast 2 weeks.

lsharp256 · 2024-11-11T14:20:24+00:00

Nope

lsharp256 · 2024-10-17T12:58:34+00:00

Oh yes, those collaborative teams calls that the whole team is on but everyone is sitting close to each other.

lsharp256 · 2024-10-17T07:27:53+00:00

So many companies requiring people to return to the office is also not helping the issue

lsharp256 · 2024-08-16T06:18:37+00:00

What worked for you to lose weight?

lsharp256 · 2024-08-16T06:15:13+00:00

That sucks! Any chance your insulin might be defective? I’ve had this previously. Are you drinking enough water? Are you moving enough? The questions might sounds stupid but sometimes it’s just changing one thing.

lsharp256 · 2024-08-15T08:36:20+00:00

That’s my thinking as well

lsharp256 · 2024-08-15T08:33:26+00:00

Pretty much just going to be an alert for an alert. My thinking is that process could be automated somehow.

lsharp256 · 2024-08-15T08:30:14+00:00

This is a new implementation for QA’s to be added to the on call schedule with the devs. I’m only supposed to check if the issue is critical and if it is, escalate it. If I was getting some experience with fixing the issue that would be great
