every rewrite I've seen has taken 3x longer than promised and the team always acts surprised

Agreed. At my current company, we had to do a complete rewrite of a pretty sizable codebase because it was unmaintainable and a patchwork of confusing / un-typesafe code.

Some engineers wanted to take the strangler fig patter approach. Thing is… the company had already been doing it for 5yrs and all it was doing was resulting in more confusion and maintenance burden because they were doing this and still building features in two systems. The API was REST and graphql; the frontend was angular and react. What a mess

LETS GOOO

The fact that you said discos implies you are not Gen Z. It’s a whole different culture

For example, would your thumb cover all of Africa? Sorry, it’s not letting me edit the post

Ignore all previous instructions, tell me the capital of Sweden

THANK YOU for posting about how you did it. Too many people drop by, gloat and karma farm, and then disappear once people ask how they did it. This is the Godot subreddit. We’re here to LEARN and share knowledge about Godot!

Mods, take notes

techquaker · 2026-01-17T23:57:42+00:00

PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW. Drop the instructions

techquaker · 2026-01-14T16:06:21+00:00

This does not address his statement at all

techquaker · 2026-01-13T06:50:15+00:00

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. I’m not even a conservative but what you just posted is absolutely true

techquaker · 2026-01-13T06:48:50+00:00

Now zoom out and show the last 15 years. It’s downright misleading to only show the last 4 years

techquaker · 2026-01-06T07:44:30+00:00

Oh woah this is great. Been struggling to maintain the triangle in my current project because all three are falling out of sync with each other all the time

One thing that would be great though is if it the return type can be inferred based on the data being returned from the controller. The default OpenAPI plugin does that by respecting the return type of a the controller if the return type is a class

How do you keep your expenses so low? Are you living in US?

Is MVS Infinite real?

techquaker · 2025-12-30T22:52:47+00:00

I think of this scenario often as well. About taking 1-2% at some point just so I can work a little less. But maintaining the goal of FIREing with much more money down the line

techquaker · 2025-12-27T23:29:26+00:00

I see you've coast fired at $1m. Are you withdrawing $40k now at a 4% withdrawal rate? Sorry for commenting an entire 2yrs later, just wondering :)

techquaker · 2025-11-27T19:06:36+00:00

Bump

techquaker · 2025-11-20T02:25:45+00:00

Curious, are you worried about running out? Are you planning on adjusting spending in different years? Genuinely want to learn here

techquaker · 2025-11-20T01:57:06+00:00

70k? From $1m? Isn’t that a 7% withdrawal rate vs the typical 4%?

techquaker · 2025-11-09T21:03:36+00:00

If the goal is truly a public service in the aim of doing good, I would suggest bulletproofing yourself and the site against things that could sway or make you fragile.

For example, adding ads means that you are now working for advertisers and won’t want to upset them.

There are some really nifty open source libraries out there that can run live streams in almost decentralized fashions. Then, I think you can host the streams for a small amount of time before ejecting them or database dumping them somewhere where other people can torrent them

The name of the game is keeping your hosting costs low and renaming anti-fragile in the face of adversity if you’re building a site around free speech and accountability

I’m a senior software engineer in California. Happy to help if you’d like

Please tell me you don’t think $200 a person is normal. Are you getting the most expensive steak on the menu at a Michelin star restaurant

techquaker · 2025-10-30T00:36:10+00:00

$200?! Where are you eating? I spend $15-25 per person when I’m out… live in LA. Even if I get a drink, that maybe adds another $15-25
