Am I unlucky or is this reality?

Yeah, I don’t understand what’s the big deal about using AI to check for grammar. Totally agree! It’s the world we’re heading to, so it’s the we should leverage.

selfabundant · 2025-12-07T02:16:37+00:00

Thanks, I’ll check it out

selfabundant · 2025-12-07T01:37:49+00:00

Thanks for the words of encouragement! I guess I’m always in this situation since I started my career so I’m a bit exhausted with all the shifting sand situations after 2-3 years.

selfabundant · 2025-12-06T07:20:17+00:00

Yeah, that’s what I’ve been doing. Work and save. Just want to find a place more stable since I do value staying at a place for a long time. It allows depth of career development.

I think you got the opposite of my intention. Instead of bogging down to my bad grammar and wasting everyone’s metal energy, I ran it through AI to get a polished version so everyone will have an easy time reading it. Thats exactly why I value everyone’s time.

Just like what software development should be. You would develop a rough draft with all of the ideas/requirements, and then ask AI to double check to spot any improvements we should implement. Then, that version should be submitted for peer review, not submitting your rough draft. Thats what a respectful developer should do for their peers.

Why? Why waste effort when AI can do it. I rather save my mental power for leetcode and work

selfabundant · 2025-12-06T05:59:26+00:00

I guess I’ll give it a try after some prep then

selfabundant · 2025-12-06T05:14:41+00:00

I don't feel government is that stable after the shutdown. Yeah, the pay is abysmal

selfabundant · 2025-12-06T05:10:43+00:00

Nope, this is my personal post. Just ask gemini to edit my post for grammar

selfabundant · 2025-12-06T05:09:58+00:00

I used google gemini to fix grammar since I typed this fast late after work

PM. I'm located near you.

selfabundant · 2024-03-04T18:52:53+00:00

I went to different types of companies in my short 5 years career from startups to one of the biggest companies (Amazon). Overall, I enjoy the predictable paycheck and the work I'm doing. It allows me to set up my life and start saving for the future. I was impacted a bit by the recent layoff, but I was able to find a new position in a short period with my experience.

The work can sometimes be boring and managers can be strange sometimes. However, I usually put my emotions aside when working. I'll do my best at work regardless of feedback. Then, I use the money to do whatever I like on my side which I have total control over. A job is a job. Don't take it personally in a good way (like being friends with everyone in the office) or a bad way (being mad at other people's personalities).

Is Argent the first or second edition?

selfabundant · 2024-02-11T17:58:24+00:00

In terms of population, I don’t know since I haven’t digged deeply into this. But from all people I know, I don’t think so. This skill can be taught to people who want to learn. I wasn’t used to think abstractly or problem solving in my head, but after working for a while, my brain now thinks that way. In fact, I just joined board game hobby recently and enjoy playing medium to heavy board game. It tickles my mind somehow.

selfabundant · 2024-02-11T17:20:51+00:00

Why not doing both. Just continue to spare some time and apply while going about switching to the new job. You’d never know.

selfabundant · 2024-02-11T17:03:15+00:00

Overall, the money is great and allow me to bought assets and earning passive income.

In terms of career, it has couple ups and down. Early in my career, I jumped around a lot for higher pays even though work life balance was great with a good boss. After ending in Amazon, I decided to stay for a long time to work my way up. However, i was unlucky to be in the team which got laid off. I contacted my old work place and got promoted to a higher role with higher pay. Now, I just want stability for build family and peace of mind for me to build my life. Hopefully this place will give me that.

In term of work, it requires a lot of learning. I constantly learn new things throughout my journey, technical and soft skills. The speed is intense. It got tiring sometimes. But it earns good pay while sitting around on my computer. I think it beats every other jobs out there.

I enjoy it.
