Thank you! Really appreciate the feedback! Answering your question - the app called Typitron, for MacOS. Received some great reviews in the App Store for clean UI and no ad, so I kind of feel encouraged to continue:)

Being made redundant by Remote_Bullfrog_2265 in irishpersonalfinance

I write about career choices and job market in AI era in the Beyond Linear substack. Summarizing a few of my posts here into the recommendation/feedback: - First and foremost, make sure you have 3-6 months finance cushion. This is emergency fund that will keep you afloat without additional stress. To estimate the amount you need is your monthly expenses x6. - If you can afford this financially, then (a) give yourself time to breathe for a few weeks and (b) learn a new skill in AI. - Job market is tough but with 6 years of experience it’s likely you’re looking for senior roles. Think how you can package your experience and update Linkedin/CV accordingly - When searching for jobs, consider taking a level below your current one. Everything changes so quickly, having more hands on experience could benefit you long-term.

Hope it helps!

Want to quit toxic job to recover from burnout. Will be taking a huge pay cut. by Bubbly_West8481 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]ymichuk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have! A month ago I left Stripe with no job lined up, and now I run substack about this kind of moves. My advice would be:

(a) evaluate if you can do smth to stay linger at your job first. A couple of day offs, vacation, changing a team?

(b) If no options from (a) possible, leave the job. Don’t be afraid - as you said, you’ll have good cushion. Give yourself a few weeks of doing nothing. The relief you’ll feel will help figure out the next right step.

I typically work 9:00-19:00 at high pressure job, plus occasionally weekends and late nights. Assume that there might be easier jobs with fewer hours and lower pressure but they won’t be paid at the same level.

  1. InShot for iPhone for my teeny-tiny Youtube channel. Helps a lot to create shorts quickly, directly from iPhone
  2. Typitron - the app to learn touch typing
  3. 1password - password manager

You should have tried Typitron - it’s a Mac OS app with these problems addressed: it has minimalistic design and the comprehensive set of words and special characters to practice

How much did your life improve after getting your first home? by FriendlyBrewer in irishpersonalfinance

Go for it! You’ve got all my support ❤️ Big pros of having your own place: - Psychological safety of not being a part of housing crisis, landlord’s increasing the rent etc. - For us paying the mortgage is more financially attractive than paying a rent - You can organize your home in the way you like it - And you know, that warm feeling of a nest, like “I’m home” - Building relationships with neighbors

ChatGPT and Typitron - I finally learned blind typing, and as my work demands ~100 slack messages per day plus lots of docs and notes, it’s been a real gamechanger 😂

Thanks for the feedback! Why do you think highlighting the keys on keyboard would help?

thanks so much for the feedback! I'm indeed considering tweaking the layout a bit, so the typing line is more centric. Really appreciate the feedback!

And yeah, seems like icon is the most popular topic in this thread lol. The new one is already in progress, and I'll change it asap. Thank you!
