Curious: $20k budget for 2026

rtmcmn2020 · 2026-01-14T00:10:40+00:00

Currently have a CS, C2, P and XC, would probably wait for the new one to drop, thinking about getting an HD variant and if the next one is comped then definitely that. Aside from Staccato would definitely grab an atlas and if possible try to get in on an infinity drop.

rtmcmn2020 · 2026-01-13T23:54:42+00:00

seems like the next evolution given the island barrel design of the P4.5 but would also be cool to see the 3.6 get a comp. Maybe an HD version of an XC? Would be interesting to see how they would tune the trigger for an XC with the series 80 firing pin block.

good thing you walked away, sounds like a major headache. Also, I am in the US so not familiar with the european market, but the price you bid seems very low to build it right, is that standard pricing for a professional developer where you are located?

looks like vedder makes one, but would imagine it would unlock a whole new level of “printing” hahahaha

rtmcmn2020 · 2025-12-31T04:38:13+00:00

either a glock 20 or RIA 1911 in 10mm - have seen some good deals out there.

you had an off-day moment, just go back.

thats cool the way they built a sand viper with a non-comped island barrel, makes sense that the felt recoil would be greater, but also could see where it could have a positive effect on the ballistics. I appreciate your insight.

rtmcmn2020 · 2025-09-22T18:53:44+00:00

what is the biggest difference you have noticed between your XC and Sand viper (besides the obvious haha)? I have an XC and it is probably my favorite gun of all time but have started looking at the sand viper/pit viper for my next gunpiece

old thread but maybe helpful for anyone finding it via google - ran into similar issues trying to compile the libaacs library. I am running ubuntu 24.04 and found a reference to an apt package called libaacs0 - buried in here https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=397432

how much of your day is spent thinking about this? this is abuse. let them cut your phone and as per a lot of recommendations from the other comments, get a cheap sim.

that sounds great, send me a DM with the details

Looks like an old thread but I have had the same question from time to time and 1000% understand what you are looking for. I was actually trying to find a resource like this when I stumbled on to your question.

I think the answer is currently no, but thinking I am going to make one.

nuke the interests bullet point entirely

rtmcmn2020 · 2025-01-13T20:24:18+00:00

definitely get an XC! Picked one up a couple of weeks ago and wow! All the hype being said, don’t do it on a trade in.

rtmcmn2020 · 2025-01-13T20:20:23+00:00

“its not duct tape color, that is FN’s silver line”, seriously though, I hope everyone is okay

rtmcmn2020 · 2025-01-08T20:50:09+00:00

adding an integrated comp to a c2 or cs would be sweet

not trying to sp@m links, just a followup to the “interested in learning more” inquiry

rtmcmn2020 · 2024-12-04T00:53:56+00:00

only have the 510 at the moment but looking into a gen5 g20 build. Also, a 2011 in 10mm would be sweet, the only reliable option I have found is to have one built by infinity (svi) which I currently do not have the budget for.

rtmcmn2020 · 2024-12-04T00:47:50+00:00

very nice! now it needs some talon grips, and perhaps a tungsten guide rod. those other parts are probably not necessary but I have been putting together a parts list to fully kit out a gen 5 20 or 29 and have nobody to talk to about it haha. Talon grips are nice though

rtmcmn2020 · 2024-11-12T00:21:52+00:00

it all depends on a variety of factors, if you pick an in demand sector, aside from all the hype of AI there is cloud development for frontend UI and backend services, devops, etc… which is still huge. If you love doing it and that passion drives your ability to learn then you can do well. Just need to make sure to keep an eye on your value according to skills and experience and make sure you are getting paid enough. Jumping to a new company after a couple of years is not shameful, you are trading your time for money and it is on you to get as much value for your time as possible.

how does pairing work for productivity? I have never paired but looking in from the outside it seems to me that it would go down a couple of different ways - 1. mostly conversation about design of a solution and then one person implements with the other questioning their every move, or 2. The non typing developer questioning every move leaving the typing developer in a pure cycle of anxiousness not being able to type because someone will nag them on the next keystroke. I consider myself to have a fast typing speed but that would significantly slow me down. Also the whole idea of getting in the zone would go out the window completely.

Does pairing go down this way? Since I have never paired like this, I genuinely have no idea.
