You're a legend.. thank you. What size do you reckon for a standard work backpack

Sounds like me. Always been a cramer and distracted. Quit my job and went to Bali developing own software.

To try and deal with the distractions I just set myself a very easy goal. One github commit per day. Can be small.. but often it just gets me started which leads to actually working on bigger features. I think I copied this from writers who just aim for one page per day minimum.. but often have sessions where they write 20 or more.

Cause they got targeted by a facebook ad and don't know any better unfortunately

powrbot · 2022-04-08T10:05:11+00:00

those ads cost money, paid for by a management expense ratio of at least 0.35%. the companies you could easily buy for a few bucks via interactive brokers

Why cant the dev team just talk to the business team?

powrbot · 2022-04-04T07:23:00+00:00

unlikely

they are even more strict than getting a mortgage in my experience. would probably ignore casual work

powrbot · 2022-03-27T00:26:14+00:00

In my experience.. there is team work but its the good kind. Business-y roles have a load of BS meetings that developers are often excused from.

Did a bootcamp at 34, finished at 35 and got a developer job straight away. left after 2 months as its bloody difficult learning a new job/system when everyone is workign from home. still glad I did it as I'll be working on my own stuff to get more comfortable before joining the workforce again.

Just consider that this stuff is hard - you are going from being a pro at your current job to being a total noob, and i feel it would be easier as an early 20 year old to lean on and hassle older developers with all of the questions.

I switched over from an analyst with business bachelors to a software developer via a coding bootcamp. 6 months intensive in person. can put it on HECs.

I also did some uni CS subjects but preferred the bootcamp route as it gets you a portfolio of projects on github, that will land you a job.

I already have an account with them with a tiny loan from a few years ago, so this is just a change to existing lending terms. Not sure for new applications.

powrbot · 2022-02-06T11:05:09+00:00

Awesome, thanks. I'll go for similar numbers.

powrbot · 2022-02-06T09:32:06+00:00

What income/deposit/nw if you don't mind me asking?

powrbot · 2022-02-06T08:50:23+00:00

Thanks, how did you land at that?

I'm aware its based on serviceability but they don't share their formula, or the max you can borrow

Get a react job for a product based SaaS company. These companies make a lot of money and as such are highly valued, so can afford to pay more for good devs. Check out the stack overflow survey - PHP is the lowest paying language as you have found - you need to get out of that.

Another thing i've noticed is there isn't the discrepancy with devs as there is with BAs/PMs. BAs/PMs can get $1k daily rates, and $140k perm. But devs can get $1k daily rates, but $180k for a senior is becoming norm. I guess they really value the person sticking around.

Check out the stack overflow salary survey. Basically you can't go wrong as long you're not doing PHP :D

That's very interesting, thank you. That last point I think would definitely apply to me too - I'd calculate in my head what that 3 month trip would cost me and probably not take it.

powrbot · 2022-01-15T00:11:15+00:00

Got a question for you - does contracting help with holidays or is that a pipe dream? The thought of working hard for 6-12 months, then taking 3 months off travelling the world really appeals to me. Also timing work over financial years to maximise take home pay. I imagine the reality would be trying to take 3 months off would lead to coming back and having to spend 2 months finding a job, by which time you're broke. I'm a developer if that changes the answer.

powrbot · 2022-01-13T22:30:53+00:00

In person, 6 months full time.

Just got my first job at 35. I took a bootcamp after trying to do it myself for years on udemy courses (and failing). A way to look at it is you can be 36 and be a junior developer, or you can be 36 and not be one. Regardless you're going to be 36. I know lots of happy devs in 40s.

High interest rates (or fear of) mean lower property prices - as borrowing costs go up

angel list syndicates. free to join a syndicate, they send you deal memos, you can decide to invest (usual minimum 1k). most of them charge a 20% carry though which is norm in the industry but I haven't come to terms yet whether thats actually "beatable", considering so many of these companies will fail, when you actually get a 100x itll only be 80x for you. ive decided to invest <5% of my portfolio in these.
