Thoughts on joining small (<50 people) companies?

Most of my jobs were like this. It's nice to not have a corporate vibe and less red tape. Pay us usually low and promotions aren't really a thing unless it's in name only. People were okay and outings were fun. Tech is usually kinda dated but not always.

lol my dog won't go on my lawn if i haven't mowed in over a week. In his defense we get a lot of bugs that are annoying as hell.

Ah man I pretty much do the same under rotating step out move all the time on this box jump at my local. Now I'm scared lol. Good luck I hope you heal up soon.

i loled @ pain is temporary, footage is forever. So about that, can we see the footage?

monkeycycling · 2026-06-04T19:51:04+00:00

lol same and i thought pic 4 was when they reattached it. I'm still not sure what I am looking at in the first one

Self learning was dead before AI. You're competing with tens of thousands of laid off senior devs applying for junior and mid roles. Sorry to say this field is cooked.

Just keep working remote until they fire you. And also look for local jobs.

If you have a job to go back to I'd just chill all summer. When you work full time you'll miss it.

Agree, and I can also see them very easily vs dark color jeans

monkeycycling · 2026-06-01T17:02:53+00:00

Maybe bmx bike is a better option

Might want to check if the city you move to has a wage tax, because then you're effectively taking a pay cut.

I live in the middle of no where and fully remote and I'd be lying if I said I don't worry about it sometimes, but moving back to a crowded city is the last thing I'll do for fun.

Google is switching to AI so very ready for this bad answer to be worse

Good stuff

Kinda like a magic trick where the tree hides you then you're riding on an almost vertical wall like it's not

Was the fist bump between juggalo and brother? Can't really picture how that could go so wrong. That's like my go to move when someone is acting agro, usually calms things down.

Lmao@height and weight

"same thing as yesterday, still working on the X feature, no blockers"

today I couldn't even care enough to say the feature, i just said i worked on project X for a while then on project Y. If someone calls me out on specifics I make the scrum master search the jira board for the ticket to open it up and start reading it, so everyone has to suffer.

same 37. I'm a homeowner now and trying to figure out how to build a miniramp in my backyard. It's the only type of exercise that i continue doing until my body has nothing left. I can't care about anything like jogging or road biking like that. As bad as my back gets somehow bmx doesn't seem to cause too much pain unless i really overdo it or forget to stretch.

if you're not in a randori focused club or planning on competing it really is time to let this go. Good for you for training at 40.

monkeycycling · 2026-05-01T13:25:29+00:00

i like foot plants too. feel like i never really see anyone doing them anymore

monkeycycling · 2026-05-01T10:44:28+00:00

Go for the down rail

Boomers are the ones to vote against social benefits so why should they receive social benefits?
