  • Save first. If you aren't living paycheck to paycheck, then always put your money in a separated bank account for saving.

This help eliminating the need to keeping track of your spending.

  • If you tend to be fined for overdraft, then use an overdraft protection service. The service fee is much lower than the OD fee.

Only if the living wage is far better or the job market in that country is better, so I can find another job if things don't work out as expected.

Moving the country means I have to sacrifice some benefits that I already have like my family, dog, and house. Would have said yes in a heartbeat years ago, but not now.

Pokemon on Gameboy. Physical books and comics. Sketching.

Shampoo bottles while pooping.

Me too. I do remote work. Our rural home is comfortably big enough to accommodate 5 people. It's cheaper to share bills, no rent, CoL is cheaper in the rural area too.

My baby bonds well with my parents too.

A lot of spicy quotes I could steal.

I'm going to ask ChatGPT how to prepare a garotte and then I am going to strangle you with it, and you will simply have to pray that I roll the 10% chance that it freaks out and tells me that a garotte should consist entirely of paper mache and malice.

Funny, that's why I picked EV as a family car. I could turn on the AC and let my daughter and my dog sleep without any brum brum.

You have to adopt Emacs and show her that she can even play Tetris on it.

I used to have a cheap mechanical keyboard that has side rainbow RGB panels that can't be turned off. I thought that would be turned off when I turn off the backlight. Nope.

Do you have to model a replacement part all by yourself? Or is it easy to find blueprints online?

I imagine that if I have to model them myself, they would come out wrong most of the time.

I would argue that some code test questions can be solved spontaneously, but they are limited to easy to some early medium questions, or patterns that are common enough.

I guess this is more common in non FANG companies that don't have to filter out candidates just because of the sheer number alone.

Felt like we joke about the announcement 2 years ago. Time fly lol

Guess, it's to make your code look hand crafted and not copied from Chat GPT or SO for some take home assignment.
