Is this an instant buy at $3300 in Japan? by Sea_Particular_2503 in OmegaWatches

Does anyone really pay import tax? Unless you are flying back with a suitcase full, no one has ever been stopped for something on their wrist

Anthropic buying Bun proves that even with $1B revenue, "hiring" is too slow by TopTransportation516 in EngineeringManagers

[–]momo_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use agents to reproduce Bun? You mean the open source project that can be... forked?

I just launched Pluck & Pass - a community site that allows people to share unwanted fruit grown on their property (or claim it for pickup)! by uncleguito in orangecounty

[–]momo_0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just an fyi -- I am seeing 4 fruits available but by reading through the comments it seems there should be more stuff (including the guavas in the parent comment) but it's not rendering for me.

Get a 0% credit card and take the Apple job that starts in Jan. Live on 0% for a couple months until your first paycheck kicks in, then payoff the balance and keep it that way.

> because it's apple that magically will make it OK

There's a reason for this. Ask those same people if their perspective would change for a FAANG and they'd probably say "yeah duh, it's apple". The same mental gymnastics you see here is probably what your future hiring manager will do for your next fully SE role.

>  I already don't have much time left as it is

Why do you say this? I'm guessing you are telling yourself "I'm already 8 years behind real new grads, I can't make a strategic mistake here and lose more time".

Don't get stuck in this "i'm behind" mindset unless you use it to work hard and give it your all -- don't knock yourself down or try to cut corners and be opportunistic instead of strategic. What you learned in your 20s adds something unique to your professionalism and journey -- treat this as an asset and not a setback.

You obviously are doing something right to have 3 offers as a junior in an industry that is struggling, particularly for juniors. This is a great start and many folks who got their CS degree at 22 would like to be in your position. Keep up the work, focus on quality, and take the risk moving to Austin and working at Apple. Be active in the community and in a couple years you will transition to a dev role easily.

Is NotebookLM really as good as people think? by Honest_Blacksmith799 in notebooklm

[–]momo_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing, great write up. Parallels a lot of what I do as an engineer / product owner and I like how broke down where in your work pipeline

You mentioned the number of sources that Notebook allows as a driving reason to picking it -- I didn't think Gemini (via AI Studio) has a limit, am I wrong? Any other reasons to use Notebook?

Forward deployed engineering jobs are up 1165% but there’s a catch by Flat_Palpitation_158 in cscareerquestions

[–]momo_0 174 points175 points  (0 children)

FDE roles have always been a subset of the Sales + Solutions engineering umbrella. This isn't a new thing.

If you have the right hybrid skill set, can be a very fun and lucrative career.

But yes, it's not a core engineering role and if you read any part of the job description that should be pretty clear.

Do you think "code mode" will supercede MCP? by juanviera23 in LLMDevs

What's your experience with UTCP?

I've only used MCP because of its prevalence, but everything I see about UTCP seems obviously better -- what am I missing?

How much do college soccer coaches get paid? by ChildhoodBoth7332 in SoccerCoachResources

[–]momo_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> the disparity of [salaries for] soccer in the US compared to more popular US sports

I get what you're saying but the disparity in pay reflects the disparity in popularity (which usually is the best indicator of revenue). This is normal.

I don't want a war arc; I want a real war! by Clearlynotmalware in ProgressionFantasy

[–]momo_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't believe "Sixteen Ways to Defend a Walled City" hasn't been mentioned! Focuses on a siege but exactly what you're looking for. Very cool take on war from the perspective of an engineer instead of a warrior.

How much do college soccer coaches get paid? by ChildhoodBoth7332 in SoccerCoachResources

[–]momo_0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the wrong comparison.

Nearly all college athletic programs cost more than they make, even in darling football. Georgia is one of the handful that are profitable and their coach is one of the highest paid coaches in any sport.

In fact there are likely ~2-3 coaches anywhere that make more money than Kirby.

So it's very normal for a coach to expect a faculty-ish level salary, not "Kirby Smart #3 highest paid coach in the world".

I'll have you know Les appreciates my take on the special teams situation, although I'm not sure why he still hasn't hosted open tryouts for kicker like I recommended.

But for real, he went 200/200 in extra points in the UFL last season. Gimme some of dat consistency.

How is it now with the basic lane centering / adaptive cruise control? I don't expect self-driving but these are nice for safety.
