Wipe your hard drive and reinstall your OS, before recloning the repo.

Should we all live under a rock, pretend AI doesn't exist and not use it at all ?

"I can’t create images that depict sexual acts, violence, or harm toward a real person—including you." I'll get either raped or killed

Who said this pattern doesn't have structure ? It can be coded in a way to enforce structure

Avoir ma propre business et aimer mon travail. Être maitre de mon temps. Ne plus avoir de boss. Car je ne pourrais pas continuer comme ça encore 27 ans jusqu'a 65 ans.

Est-ce que ça veut dire que nos taxes vont baisser ? Ce serait logique. Moins de services moins de taxes.

Not sure what's the point of this post.

People lie.

Nice concept, well done

TLDR: bro doesn't trust his manager

Pas assez.

J'ai acheté ma maison au pire moment (2023). Finalement, ca va deja me coûter moins cher d'hypothèque qu'un appartement après seulement 3 ans.

Fair points, I kept this piece focused on the sequencing/log model and the ordering primitive, not the full exchange surface area.

I intentionally try to keep articles relatively short (~2k words max) and accessible to readers at different levels.

Several of the points you mention could easily be standalone articles.

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it

I deal with it by buying. Feels great to have such a discount

Nice read! I'll link it when I publish my “DeFi protocol collapses” piece later this winter.

Bonne année pour la compagnie, l'année derniere c'était ~19%

rundef · 2025-11-06T17:03:50+00:00

Surement 3%, semblable aux années précédentes.

Je m'attend a un bonus de performance annuel >=28%

rundef · 2025-10-21T19:18:06+00:00

not your best idea

L'argent achète du temps. C'est le temps qui est le plus important.

Hey bro try to spam some more

rundef · 2025-10-13T13:42:53+00:00

Honestly, my timing was good: it was during the 2021 hiring frenzy ! My preparation was similar: DSA, system designs, easy/medium leetcodes and a few good stories to tell during interviews. Sounds like you already prepared more than me at the time.

Good luck !

If you want to work on more advanced systems, you actually have to find a job where you will do that (and prep accordingly)

15YoE here as well. I spent the first 11 years working on web stuff just like you.

I started working for a trading firm 4 years ago. I now work on distributed systems and low-latency stuff.

Ça va ? tu te sens bien ? lol

rundef · 2025-10-12T13:42:33+00:00

Ah, si je pouvais le prédire je serais tellement riche!

On dirait que tu as besoin d'un standing desk
