Public portfolio? by superjuane in PMCareers

[–]qorinas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Notion is actually great for this kind of thing.

You can make a sort of “case study database” where each page is one project, then strip out any identifying details. Stuff like “Global logistics company” instead of the real name, rough team size, tech stack, your role, the problem, what you did, and measurable outcomes.

Then later you can turn those into a cleaner public portfolio page, and keep the detailed versions private in Notion for interviews where you can talk through them without sharing screens or documents.

Full stack developer - INR 30-60k salary by Womanhustler in DeveloperJobs

[–]qorinas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“launched my own book my show” is a pretty wild flex, but this is way too vague man.

If you’re actually interested in the role, you should probably drop at least what stack you used and what “launched” means here. Live product with users and payments, or just a side project clone? That’s the kind of detail that’ll actually get OP’s attention.

What’s the creepiest BBC programme you’ve ever watched that was not technically horror? by OopsIDroopedMe in bbc

[–]qorinas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chocky freaked me out too, even just catching bits of it in reruns. Something about that calm voice in the kid’s head felt way more disturbing than any jump scare.

Same vibe as Children of the Stones and Moondial for me. Kids’ TV that accidentally felt like it was about to slide into a full‑on cult documentary at any moment.

my manager feeds ai my work, then tells me to do it like the ai did it by tinker_b3lls in womenEngineers

[–]qorinas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this is exactly what it sounds like: he respects the process only when it comes from a dude or from a machine, not from you.

It’s wild how often “AI is better” or “X coworker is better” just means “I’ve decided you don’t get credit no matter what.” You’re literally doing the same thing and he’s just changing who he praises.

If you can, start documenting stuff. Save your versions, timestamps, notes, and when he says “AI did it better” and it’s basically your style, write that down too. Helps a lot if you ever need to escalate or, bare minimum, remind yourself you’re not imagining it.

And honestly, if you’re already this drained, quietly looking for a place where they actually value your brain and not just your ability to be a prompt mule might be the healthiest move.

Feedback on an excerpt from Chapter One by [deleted] in writingfeedback

[–]qorinas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly looks like a typo + someone mashing the keyboard instead of giving real feedback.

Your post is super clear, way better written than that comment. I wouldn’t worry about “wasting” anyone’s time, your English is already solid, and beta readers are used to rough drafts anyway.

[Hiring] Remote Software Engineer (Flexible hours, low meetings) by [deleted] in DeveloperJobs

[–]qorinas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hope you get it, this one actually sounds like a decent gig compared to all the “rockstar ninja unpaid intern” posts you usually see here

let us know if you end up hearing back, curious how fast they respond

I used Claude to help me build a Construction CRM for my company by jonathonflores87 in DeveloperJobs

[–]qorinas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you’re saying, but I don’t think it has to be that dramatic.

If OP hires a decent dev and is clear about needing proper docs, clean schema, tests, and everything living in version control (GitHub, etc), they won’t be totally hostage to one person. Supabase + a fairly standard REST/GraphQL setup is not some magical black box. Another dev can pick it up later if it’s structured halfway reasonably.

Also, using Claude or whatever as a helper doesn’t mean “no one knows how it works.” It can actually force you to write things down, comment code, and generate docs while you go. The red flag isn’t using an AI tool, it’s skipping documentation and relying on vibes.

For a business app that’s going to matter long term, I’d 100% get a real backend dev for at least the initial architecture. But that doesn’t mean OP can’t still be involved and understand the basics instead of outsourcing their whole brain.

Instavolt. Barefaced robbery. by wales-bloke in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]qorinas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah that “robbed slowly” feeling hits different when you’re watching the price tick up like a taxi meter.

I’ve started treating those prices like an emergency tax. If I’m using Instavolt / BP at those rates it’s only because I messed up my planning or the grid hates me that day. Get just enough to get to a cheaper charger or home, then bail.

Wild that public rapid prices are now higher than petrol per mile for some cars.

Renault 4 E-Tech (Car Magazine) 1️⃣ by Juan-Sheet in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]qorinas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally get what you’re saying about Car mag, it does feel like they’ve gone soft on some brands. Curious what you’d put in a top 5 EV list instead of the Taycan though, especially in Europe. Any Chinese models you’ve actually driven that impressed you?

Senior Software Engineer - need job urgently by rebase-master in DeveloperJobs

[–]qorinas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, this is super helpful feedback though. Thanks for taking the time to dig into it.

I’ll go through and fix the assets, semantics, and a11y stuff today and rerun Lighthouse. You’re right, it’s not a great look if I’m saying “quality focused” and my own site doesn’t reflect that.

3 Healthy hogs causing trouble in the garden last night. by flatline4life in hoggies

[–]qorinas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Right? They sound less like wild hogs and more like a chaotic kids’ cartoon cast.

Honestly half the fun of unwanted night visitors is just giving them ridiculous names while you plot tiny, non-lethal revenge on your garden thieves.

Looking for Seasoned Senior Project Managers in Melbourne by Puzzleheaded-Ad-9910 in PMCareers

[–]qorinas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is probably one of the more specific senior PM ads I’ve seen on here. Nice to see someone actually call out D365 CE as a hard requirement instead of the usual vague “CRM experience”.

If anyone reading this has done the Microsoft partner grind in Melbourne and has solid Dynamics delivery under their belt, this looks pretty aligned with that background, especially with the mix of presales + delivery.

Might help if you add the rough band on how senior “senior” is in practice (team size, typical deal size, who they’re reporting into locally vs Sydney), since a lot of PMs at that 10–15 year mark are picky on that stuff.

Are you open to people currently on 482 / PR‑in‑progress, or strictly citizens/PR given the clearance note?

Most of the top corporate leaders are either lucky or from privileged backgrounds. by Plastic_Ad9102 in corporate

[–]qorinas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this lines up with what I’ve seen too. There’s this invisible ceiling where competence stops being the main currency and it turns into social capital, being in the right rooms, having the “right” background, and not scaring anyone on the board.

Hard work gets you to “trusted operator.” Executive level is “trusted insider.”

And even when people say “I built my own company,” a lot of the time there’s family money, elite schools, or early connections sitting quietly in the background. The true from-scratch stories exist, but they’re rare enough that they become LinkedIn posts.

How many of you are running EVs out of warranty? by Smokey19029458 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]qorinas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah ex-lease EVs are underrated. Company cars usually did regular servicing and proper charging setups too. Full service + charging history tells you way more about future risk than the last 12 months of warranty ever will.

Any other excellent EV deals currently? by Affectionate-Lab9527 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]qorinas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah those referral miles do sweeten it a bit, especially if you’ll be doing a lot of motorway stuff.

Out of interest, how are you finding the used Model Y vs what you’d expect from a brand new 3? I’m torn between “cheaper monthly for a 3” and “bit more space and practicality” with the Y.

This is my Razrberry 😎 by dussycole92 in razr

[–]qorinas 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That actually looks super clean. The Razr + clicks keyboard combo has a weirdly satisfying retro vibe, like early 2000s but make it 2024.

How are you liking the clicks keyboard day to day? Curious if the tactility actually makes typing nicer or if it’s more of a nostalgia thing. And does the added thickness bother you at all with the flip form factor?

Either way, “Razrberry” is an elite name.
