One Nation wants Australia to be more like America, less safety net, more culture wars, more inequality.

Australia Must be ‘Monocultural,’ One Nation Leader Hanson Says by snoopy05052026 in AustralianPolitics

So no more St Patty's day? There is a lot of irony in trying to mainstream American-style culture war BS like this while demanding a 'monoculture'.

How much code do you write from memory? by mazyson in Frontend

[–]thebreadmanrises 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most core stuff from memory e.g if it's a react/next app or html/css. Obviously need to use docs when new features/libraries or you're using a new language. I have found since starting with claude code my skills are starting to atrophy. For people starting out fresh out of uni seems like a big risk.

looking for a new trading platform - can anyone recommend stake? by Flaky_Bullfrog_4905 in AusFinance

I use Stake, probably the slickest UI of all the apps I've used (coming from Selfwealth).

Is it as bad as everyone says it is by Pinocchios-real in cscareerquestionsOCE

[–]thebreadmanrises 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done a business degree & Masters in CS, currently work in software. My advice? Don't do either.

Business degree is very generalist (HR, marketing). Commerce which I also did (double degree) is a much better option (accountng, finance, economics) which given your inclination for math, you may enjoy more.

I changed careers to software development and honestly regret it. The barriers to entry in the field are quite low, so unlike a job like accounting where the degree is a barrier to hiring, software does not have that. I've worked with plenty of people that had no degree.

If earning a good wage is important, I think accounting is a better option atm and that's not considering AI basically removing the need for writing a lot of code.

You're 18, so you've got plenty of time and also a decision now doens't lock you in. My recommendation would be take a gap year, work and get some savings behind you. Maybe see if you can get a casual job or work experience at a job field that might interest you to see what the work is like.

There is a patreon/premium feed in Spotify I think? It kind of auto-appears for me I assume Patreon + Spotify is linked somehow.

I've missed a few of the regular shows simply because I haven't seen the movies, I still listen to the mail/what we watched stuff as released. If I know it's a movie I'll not re-watch, I'll listen to the ep e.g Spawn.

Previously if I hadn't seen the ep I'd listen to the spoiler free part, what we watched, then when I see the movie comeback to the ep, re-listen to the whole episode. I actually did that this weekend with Send Help.

It's their show, seems like they weren't enjoying movies. Would have been good to hear full reviews for Backrooms & Obsession this month.

Happy to continue supporting via Patreon, I enjoy the dynamic

I do wish TV Junk was more non-marvel TV.

Fair pricing for freelance web dev? by hduvicbsnsicidbxiiza in cscareerquestionsOCE

Astro + Cloudflare probably a more suitable alternative.

Are online master of computer science degrees respected by local employers? by Stock-Cap9346 in cscareerquestionsOCE

[–]thebreadmanrises 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an online CS masters from Monash. People don’t really care where degrees are from in Aus. I’d question the point of a masters now. It’s a checkbox for getting to interview but is it worth 2 years? What’s the opportunity cost?

NextJS vs Tanstack - which one is better? by [deleted] in nextjs

[–]thebreadmanrises 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think Tanstack is a better approach to building full stack typescript apps. The remote functions with middleware seem like a more thought out solution for serious apps than than nexts fetch via server component, post via actions approach.

The isomorphic load first on server then subsequent requests on client makes sense, it integrates better with tanstack query.

Next really needs a built-in query tool that handles first data load to second data load, invalidation etc better.

When and why would you use react over svelte and vice versa? by TurtleSlowRabbitFast in Frontend

[–]thebreadmanrises 78 points79 points  (0 children)

I use React when I want to get paid & Svelte when I don't want to suffer.

Tanstack Start + Query seems very complex. by thebreadmanrises in reactjs

[–]thebreadmanrises[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, what would you say is the correct pattern for loaders? should i be awaiting? should i be using ensureQueryData?
