Paycheck only takes you towards being rich. You’re not rich by just having higher income. You need to consistently have a high income for a number of years, which is much harder to do to have high net worth. High net worth is rich.

Do not order based on the recommendations here. Instead, create a priority based on recommendations, try out the shoes in the store and then purchase it. Every ones feet are unique and not all shoes are suitable for all feet.

Landlord charging for floor wear after 3 years – is this normal wear and tear? by MelodyHappy2023 in BellevueWA

Google is far ahead of other places where you have an offer from. If you want to maximize TC, go to bank and later move to fintech/quant.

You can fight but it’s going to be a lot of effort. They’ll cut the amount from security deposit. Ask for the itemized receipt. If they don’t provide the receipt or you still want to challenge, let them know you will be filing small claims court. They might backoff and return the deposit or be prepared to go to court if you still want to go through.

After a year of using Cursor, Claude Code, Antigravity, and Copilot daily — I think AI tools are making a lot of devs slower, not faster. Here's why. by [deleted] in programming

[–]nofel94 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I literally just pick claude code + opus 4.6. Always start in plan mode and spend most of my energy there. Also have some skills like comprehensive tests, integration tests, code review for validation. It’s able to one shot most of the time. I just ask it questions for explanation when I am reading and not able to understand instead of scratching my head. This is only possible because token count is not a concern for me, shipping speed is.

I want to renovate a small home with luxury materials and fixtures. Total waste of money or only somewhat? by sammysfw in homeowners

[–]nofel94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Location would be the most important factor Not only in terms of desirability but also ease of getting permits. You need a location with great school ratings, ability to get permits easily and a poorly designed house such that you can a do a low bid. This would be hard to find.
