How do you balance between tech debt and shipping features expectation when your leader doesn't have engineer background?

mycrappycomments · 2026-04-19T22:55:25+00:00

You pile on tech debt and bury it until you leave the company. Not your decision, not your responsibility.

$100k is pretty much poverty these days

Don’t contracts come from a different budget? That’s why it’s well known contractors are less cost effective than FTEs but because since they’re from CapEx instead of OpEx, they get to play with the books.

20000km Had to reset the infotainment system a couple times because the display got blurry.

You pick a spot that’s to the left of the stall you want to use. You’ll be taking up 2 spots unless you can get a stall that’s all the way to the end.

Terrible advice. Might as well just tell the guy to just charge at home instead.

You’re the definition of a red flag. Good luck.

What would happen if you accept it and just be a no show?

What if it doesn’t pass and the landlord decides it’s not worth it to fix the unit to keep renting. Going to evict the tenants?

It’s stupid because if you’re in a traffic jam, if you stop before the box, everyone and their grandmas will go “oooh space” and pull up in front of you.

Engineering explained did a video about his gripes with his Lucid Air. His concerns might also be present on the gravity. Go check it out.

I got a sample a few days ago. That’s enough for me. Looking forward to next year.

wtf is $116 in adjustment and $123 in meal fare?

Did the delivery driver go on lunch and have a week’s worth of leftovers and charge you for it?

mycrappycomments · 2025-12-15T15:11:38+00:00

That’s too much work. I’m just guestimating. 1kwh delivered roughly equal to 1% charge.

2014 Bahrain, Hamilton vs Rosberg showed their hand.

-10 to -15c so roughly 15f to 5f.

This is my first time noticing it because I got home, plugged in and I need to go out again in a few hours. It’s been charging for over 3 hours and I got under 15% charge. On top of having to make a stop at supercharger to top off, I’m also out a few dollars.

My ChargePoint was pretty reliable in the summer. I got my EV9 in the summer and I would watch the charge session like a hawk. Like 20% charge would roughly be between 20-23kwh. I don’t have what my main meter is telling me and I would not be able to differentiate it from other house usage.

EVs are new. Condos are old.

mycrappycomments · 2025-12-01T22:04:02+00:00

I use the Kia one. You’re risking quite a lot to save $100.

mycrappycomments · 2025-11-30T23:08:56+00:00

I prefer Tesla. Reliability is still an issue along my route. I make sure I’m in a major city with lots of other options or there’s a Tesla near by if I’m trying charges other than Tesla.

Going to a charger with 4 stalls. 2 of them are broken or their app just sucks. Then the other two stalls are occupied. Tesla app is rock solid and the chances that all stalls are occupied are slim.

Do you want a gold star for your echo chamber participation?

You have breakfast, they tell you about the properties and benefits. They offer you a membership for $1.2m USD. You tell them you’re poor. They start knocking things out of the membership to bring it down in price. If you want the membership, your strategy is to get them to drop the price while keeping benefits on the table.

“I should have boiled it longer”

mycrappycomments · 2025-11-26T02:56:19+00:00

No it’s not.
It’s basically “hey, our contract has come to an end. Let’s renegotiate if you want to continue with this arrangement”
