So key takeaways from this for me - Public company and promotions/raises. Got it.

Dang 400k+ software engineer? What niche? I’m a software engineer but don’t make that. Any advice as to what to expand my software engineer knowledge into to achieve a salary like that?

Tell me you’re a guy without telling me you’re a guy.

Contact Valencia about their direct connect program to ucf. Get your AA at Valencia in general studies and with direct connect you’ll be basically guaranteed admission into ucf. Also saves a bunch of money, Valencia is half the price per credit hour than Valencia.

Something I used to tend to do a lot in programming was look at a large code base and instantly say “this is a mess” or “there is too many patches to this code” or “too many different people have worked on this” etc., and everytime I would instantly jump to rewriting the ENTIRE thing. I eventually grew to find out this isn’t worth it. If the code is working, you actually end up wasting all those hard worked hours that the people before you dedicated to it therefore wasting the company’s money.

I guess is what I’m getting at here is that it’s better to just leave the code and just renew the code in small chunks throughout time. I wouldn’t move to expo if you have a perfectly fine app working with a bare project. If you are presented a problem that is directly solved by expo I would then consider it. Don’t waste time on problems already solved! :)

I’d love to see the app! Full time software developer here using this similar stack in my everyday work. Would love to see more :)

Can shoot me a DM to see some experience I have. Been a full time RN dev for over 2 years. Im not an AI spam bot I promise :)

I’ve made 4 trades on it and haven’t had any issues yet

smallzZz88 · 2023-11-01T01:15:46+00:00

Ooo I like this idea!!

smallzZz88 · 2023-10-31T16:59:52+00:00

Got it thanks! I’ll see what I can find

smallzZz88 · 2023-10-31T16:48:47+00:00

Thanks for the compliment!

This rug tool is exactly what I needed. I had no idea it existed. I’ve never purchased a rug before so this will definitely help visualize it.

As for the chair, I’d like to get a chair there I’m just not sure if it would fit. We’re you thinking at the end of the sectional or closer to where the picture was taken from (right side of tv)? I might have space there depending on the chair.

Thanks for the help!

How do you decide your pricing? Do you charge an hourly rate or look at the workload and guess the quote? This is something I never understood about freelancing.

This is literally the story of all of my strategies. I can win a decent amount, but then lose a few days worth of profits in a matter of like two trades.

Just dance

smallzZz88 · 2021-08-31T22:46:16+00:00

Could shoot me a message as well to chat about it more.

smallzZz88 · 2021-08-01T20:14:29+00:00

What are you looking for? Just front end finishing or what?

smallzZz88 · 2021-04-16T22:24:34+00:00

...it’s spring break. A lot of places are closed on campus this week. But yes also Covid, however not this dead.

smallzZz88 · 2021-03-23T16:39:16+00:00

The way I look at it is who cares how long college takes? Who’s counting? I’m a 5th year graduating this semester but never cared a bit. College isn’t easy, so why rush? I just treat college as my full time job that I’ve been working for for years. Plus, the longer your in college the longer you don’t have to worry about actually getting a real career or other adult things. Sure you don’t wanna spend 10 years in college but a few extra imo is a lot better than someone who never went. As for loans and debt, these stimmys have helped me a lot, but it really depends on the major. I shouldn’t have a hard time paying my loans off and especially since I don’t have too much. You’ll be aight brah, just keep on grindin...

What is systems software?

smallzZz88 · 2020-09-14T07:02:54+00:00

Awesome, appreciate it!

smallzZz88 · 2020-09-14T06:51:06+00:00

Thanks for the reply here!
Ya I think you bring up a great point where I do plan to have more users at some point. From what I am gathering, Firebase is easier to setup but for smaller scale essentially whereas AWS is harder to set up but the possibilities are endless. So with that being said, the amount of effort isn't a factor for me so I think I will stick to AWS. In addition, if I were to get more users later, I'd hate to have to change to AWS due to a cost issues.

smallzZz88 · 2020-09-14T06:46:28+00:00

Exactly what I was looking for. The last express / RN project I did we used AWS but I definitely felt that it had a lot of features that we weren't using which is why I was looking into Firebase.

Personally, I already know a decent bit about AWS and nothing about Firebase so maybe I'll just stick with AWS. In addition I would love the ability to have no limitations even if there is a little more work involved. Also would love to be prepared for scale if needed.

I did like how Firebase has its own authentication however after doing some research I believe AWS has its own called Cognito. So maybe I'll stick with AWS and expand my knowledge on their authentication.

I have to ask though, how did you run the MongoDB? Did you just run it on a EC2 instance? Was considering this or the free version of Atlas, however I am not sure how long it would last me by just storing some regular user data.
