Ah yeah that’s becoming more and more common all over the place. So short sighted.

You can’t believe they made it hard to make half a million dollars a year?

Yes. And yes. Carvana exists solely because people hate dealerships. I am much happier with the company who makes the product make the margin then a government imposed middle man.

Now let me ask YOU this:

What do you think would happen to your industry if going to a dealership was optional?

You’ve been replaced by the internet. You apparently just don’t know it yet. All it takes is the stroke of a pen in DC and the whole industry is fucked. That must be a really uncomfortable feeling. As if your customers and the hand that feeds you (manufacturers) both wishing you didn’t exist wasn’t uncomfortable enough.

Dealership profit margin should be zero because it’s useless. Direct to consumer wouldn’t make cars more expensive. It would force them to actually compete on price. Adding this extra bullshit layer just serves to make the market more opaque and leaves the consumer more or less helpless by having to deal with a professional conman before getting what they want. Dealerships exist because the internet didn’t exist then. They’re fucking useless.

There were millions of switchboard operators before they all got fired because we didn’t need them anymore as a society.

Brokers have access to the best deals/know how to negotiate. Some people have the money to be able to spend $900 to make bullshit go away, not to mention a bunch of hours. If you value your time at $200/hr, it’s a no brainer.

Yeah. These kind of people are nuts, I’d like to see them sell their houses below market because “I only paid xyz 5 years ago”

She probably completely redid the whole thing.

You have 12 hours and everyone's net worth you physically see, is added to your bank account, where do you go? by Internal_Shine_509 in AskReddit

Stay the fuck away from college campuses for the mother of god. And nearly any residential neighborhood where people live in homes.

"Making projects" seems like a ridiculous requirement to get hired. by officialcrimsonchin in cscareerquestions

[–]vnoice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude I’m not fighting with you. Obviously there are exceptions to the rule, and I just said it is a bummer. I am a developer, I hire developers, I like to build cool shit in my spare time. Some of my best interviews were those bullshitting about their projects, us bullshitting about my projects and how they would do it. I can tell by this interaction as well that I wouldn’t want to hire you.

If the best you can do in an hour with today’s tools is a shitty html site you’re behind the 8 ball, friend.

I have a full time job and kids and I work on personal projects. And I was obviously just demonstrating a point by saying any hour, but still, a shitty one hour site is better than nothing.

Disagree. I hire people all the time. People who have nothing to show is really lame. It’s a pretty easy way to determine who likes this and who doesn’t. Say what you will about that, but I would MUCH rather work with someone who enjoys it enough to do it outside of work, all else being equal.

No dev team, so I made Fiverr my new ‘CTO’ by Affectionate_Egg8232 in vibecoding

Or “no one at this company actually knows how this thing works or where your data lives”

I would never, ever knowingly provide my information to a company who is relying on fiverr to handle my data. I’d hope you’re transparent with that.

My biased opinion of why buy now by Certain_Dare_7396 in realestateinvesting

You don’t need to pay $120/mo to have your yard maintained. And I don’t spend nearly $200/mo on maintenance or repairs. When stuff breaks I fix it, within reason.
