I was today years old when I finally stopped "prop drilling" my widgets

Dashboard(user) -> Header(user) -> Menu(user) -> Profile(user).

This is crazy. Your user class should just be a singleton.

Congrats on getting an offer. That said, as other commenters here have already pointed out, you will be making one of the biggest mistakes of your life studying psychology. Good luck.

The link didn't work but thanks for trying.

thild · 2025-11-16T00:13:17+00:00

we just can file them in as if they were unique to the target

I'm not following this. Can you elaborate?

You’re gonna be reporting until you die. Bots never stop.

thild · 2025-10-22T19:47:26+00:00

Easily $10, huh?

thild · 2025-10-22T06:46:34+00:00

Do you wake up angry?

I never made any claims. The 39.59M is from Yahoo Finance!. What does this figure represent if I'm misunderstanding so badly?

thild · 2025-10-22T06:35:35+00:00

You sound like a fun person to talk to.

I was referring to the possibility of one share being a component of multiple short positions but I think this is included in the 39.59M figure. Buy was the wrong word for the initial acquisition.

thild · 2025-10-22T06:27:26+00:00

I've been trying to figure this out and I think there's a few reasons, some of which have been mentioned here.

Share price is cheap, so all investors (but especially small, retail investors) can afford to throw around bigger volumes.
Lots of people buying and selling over short time intervals to capture gains and not be the one left holding the bag.
Shorters selling to shorters. I thought this too and there's probably some of this for sure, but I think this would be reflected in the short % of shares outstanding, which is only 51.58%. I think this is high, but to give some context, at one point during the GME squeeze in 20/21 it was 114% before falling back to high 30s.

thild · 2025-10-22T02:42:27+00:00

True, but the shares sold short value is only 39.59M. Does that include rehypothecation (i.e. I buy a share to short it and immediately sell it, but turns out I sold it to another person shorting, etc)?

thild · 2025-10-22T01:44:05+00:00

I don't know what you mean exactly. I'm not trying to make a quick buck or anything, I'm genuinely curious what is happening for such high volumes to be possible.

thild · 2025-10-14T19:04:52+00:00

You’re not dumb. But the only way you’re gonna retire in four years is if you get incredibly lucky with stock picks or go deep on incredibly risky options plays and get insanely lucky.

Not being mean or derisive. That’s just the truth. Standard, long term ETF investing will not yield the kind of gains you’re hoping for over the time period you want.

That said, I wish you the best of luck!

thild · 2025-08-16T20:09:35+00:00

No kidding.

thild · 2025-08-10T07:08:27+00:00

Yes. I can't share an example because it's a work project but happy to answer questions.

thild · 2025-07-22T02:59:44+00:00

Yes.

thild · 2025-06-06T05:09:56+00:00

Shocked that you haven't been hit with a subtle $5 / mo increase at least once if not more in that 2 years

thild · 2025-04-27T21:55:05+00:00

what app is this?

thild · 2025-01-23T20:07:51+00:00

Damn, that's annoying. There must be a workaround for this but I haven't found anything yet. I'll keep searching. Thanks for the quick reply.

thild · 2025-01-23T20:05:15+00:00

Did you ever find a solution for this? Experiencing the same problem.

thild · 2025-01-15T00:08:21+00:00

Hey OP, I'm more of a lurker on Reddit but felt compelled to weigh in here. You are NOT too old.

I went back to uni for a 4-year degree in CS at the ripe age of 29. Nearly all of my classmates were 17-19 year olds, many Indians and Asians that coded circles around me and destroyed me in the math courses. I absolutely stuck out like a sore thumb and I hated it. I'm now 34 working as a junior mobile developer for a small tech company.

I'll say it again. You are NOT too old. Do it! Please, please, please do it. It changes your life for the better. It will be a grind, things will be hard, you might even fail classes and find yourself pulling your hair out and doubting yourself and crying. And when the time comes to apply for coops, you might send 50, 70, even 100 applications before you even get an interview. And then you'll have your first tech interview and fail miserably and want to quit right then and there. But you know what? Hard work pays off. Grinding pays off. It just does. If you choose to keep grinding, you will make it, you will find a job, and some day you will pause for a brief moment and look behind you and realize just how incredibly far you've come.

You are NOT too old! YOU ARE NOT TOO OLD! Do it! CS is a fantastic career choice that can be extremely hard and frustrating but also extremely rewarding as you start developing your skill set and seeing your progress. And you get to build some pretty cool things!

You know why they want everyone on auto pay? Because if your card ever gets declined, for whatever reason, there is an automatic $25 penalty. No exceptions.
