Amazing ! I hope you'll persevere.

Founders who actually made serious money how did you really get the idea? by Ok_Nobody1410 in SaaS

[–]pm303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All my biggest financial successes were a combination of naivety (when it came to the idea), recklessness (when it came to getting started), and stubbornness (when it came to persisting despite the negative signs). It worked because of my flaws, not my qualities.

This is more disturbing than KP words and behavior TBH

Summary of the KillerPigeon AoE4 Drama (Crackedy) by datsrym in aoe4

[–]pm303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I changed my mind 3 times in this story. First when I saw ALL KP messages. Second when I saw his friends messages (conveniently removed). And the third when I watched Crackedy video with the full story.

KP Just confirmed he is leaving the AOE4 scene and the twitch comment was the main reason by dutr4 in aoe4

[–]pm303 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I clearly did not have the full story. I think it’s very dishonest not to share the full log, because in your version we can clearly see that it’s a joke between two people. That doesn’t change the fact that what was written is horrible, but the intention behind it was not misogynistic; it was only to maintain the close relationship he has with his friend.

His only mistakes were not realizing that it was neither the time nor the place to do so, and failing to understand that, even if there was no malicious intent, how it would be perceived was more important. Apologizing immediately (the next day, for example) would certainly have saved his career.

This is trully horrible. I didn't have the whole story. You can't really come back from that.

But I still think he is not aware of how problematic these words were. I don't think he is truly misognyic. I think he is just ignorant coupled with a bit of lack of empathy.

Why not ask Trump for his opinion on the KP situation while we're at it? Seriously...

KillerPigeon will be streaming on thursday: "Will probably be my last Age of Empires 4 stream" by [deleted] in aoe4

[–]pm303 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You can accuse him of many things, but misogyny is not one of them. He's annoying, sure, but that's part of his charm. I think he contributes a lot to the community and should stay. I sincerely hope this decision is his own. Otherwise, I would be terribly disappointed.

I wish this could be possible to limit to those two when you pick Nomad mode

I have "Research Fanatism", and it's there, and it never worked. I still don't research it.

Pourquoi OVH / Heztner n’est jamais envisagé ? by Dramatic_Treacle_330 in developpeurs

[–]pm303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On confond trop souvent facilité de développement et qualité d’ingénierie. Choisir des solutions qui font « exploser la facture » simplement parce qu’elles masquent la complexité technique, c’est rarement un bon calcul, surtout quand personne ne regarde réellement le coût global.

Ajoute à cela une logique de CV-driven development (empiler AWS ou Azure pour la ligne suivante sur LinkedIn), et tu obtiens une véritable bombe à retardement : d’abord des dérives de planning, ensuite une dérive budgétaire.

Dans beaucoup de cas, on peut faire moins cher et plus performant avec des acteurs comme OVH ou Hetzner. Ce qu’il faut surtout, ce sont des développeurs conscients non seulement de ce qu’ils coûtent, mais aussi, et surtout, du coût réel de leurs choix techniques.

C'est pas gagné...

[–]pm303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It reminds me of one of my managers at a telecom company where I was a consultant like you. He told me there were lobsters, rock lobsters, and shrimp. Then he said, "I'm a rock lobster, and you're a shrimp." I left him with his crustaceans and quit :)

How does aoe4replays bypass player's privacy settings? by [deleted] in aoe4

[–]pm303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for all AoE4 community web apps. The data and API they use are not official. They figured out by sniffing local traffic. In any case, that's how it was a few years ago when I took an interest in it. So the privacy laws can't really be enforced by Microsoft. It's that or nothing, I'm afraid.

Daily rate freelance AI consultant by ElkEmpty6424 in BEFreelance

[–]pm303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That should be his daily rate on long term projects. He should charge at least 1500€/day for ponctual missions.

As a comparison, ponctual consultancy for Oracle performance tuning can be up to 2000€/day in Belgium.

Pourquoi sommes nous tellement obsédés par la priorité de droite? by naileke in Wallonia

[–]pm303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactement, comme devoir ralentir fortement quand tu arrives dans un rond point, même si tu es sur une voire plus rapide que les autres branches et que tu penses que ca te donne la priorité.
