  • Have any of you been able to reconnect with your inner child?

    Jump

  • Mixed feelings here, what is an "inner child?" Feelings of exercising creativity and spontnuity don't have to be "compartmentalized"... Just work that into your adult life. only thing that is different otherwise is obviously responsibility, that will never go away. You might have to answer to your wife as to why you chose to spend a whole Saturday watching cartoons, but as long as you make your needs known, that shouldn't be an issue as well.

    I'm sensing you have problems communicating your desires(ideas, inspirations, etc) ... other than that, you might be feeling nostalgia. But nostalgia is mostly ignorance. It felt like good times at times because I was ignorant to how my parents struggled.

  • You can achieve the same effect by taking a small dose of yohimbine, which is a supplement you can buy on Amazon. When I say small dose I mean I usually dump 80% of the pill ... otherwise it'll keep you up and amped for 10+ hours.

    I'll take it every now and then... research on your own

  • I hope the day comes that motorcycles are seen by the law and public opinion as a commuting option and not as a hobby... owning a motorcycle and living in a large metro area is great. I get to park for free instead of paying $15 per day.

  • Thanks. Balancing cautionary fears and risk is delicate. But I've learned that risk really gives life flavor... can't live happily without it. Just need to always keep your ego in check

  • Bruh on one post people are bandwagoning rust and then on another post people calling it esoteric 🤣 hard to see what's what past the hype. I mostly code in Python though so I might need to find out for myself

  • Most everyone I know doesn't have a Twitter or Instagram. Obv I deleted my reddit. What are people supposed to do except just not use the platform? Most authors I want to follow are on substack or mastodon.

    I think that as the platforms further enshittify, people will realize there are no intelligent conversations happening on platforms like X, Instagram, Facebook, etc. Ragebait content can only captivate audiences for so long before they either abandon it or are brainwashed by it. If everyone on X is a musk dickrider right wing lunatic then it makes it easier for sane people to stay off of it. Honestly it might be better to give them their safespace echo chamber as long as Democrats, liberals and libertarians mobilize and make their arguments where it matters.

  • what's the highest increase in salary you've had or seen?

    Jump

  • That's great. That's basically the route I'm looking to take, though my background is mostly with networking, so I have some catching up to do in sysadmin skills. Thanks for your insight! I'll give you a follow (idk if that exists in the fediverse lol) and maybe follow up with you later. It's great you're willing to be a resource for the aspiring engineers. That's the kind of spirit I try to embody.

  • I agree with what you said, but until your household jointly makes 75k+, it's really hard to save money when just existing eats up most of your expenses. I felt like I could breathe at 75k when my wife wasn't working, 100k was when I could cover all bills and still have enough to save up a bit of money. That's with my being lucky in that I bought my house 5 years ago and my mortgage is only like $900/mo...(modest 2br home in not a great neighborhood ) total monthly bills ends up being about $3k(including groceries, gas, utilities, car insurance and car payment being about $600 for both cars) Wife started working again so with her 50k and my 100k I can finally have financial goals instead of thinking about just surviving. Rent in my city starts at $1500 and I have no idea how normal people are getting by.

    One of the worst things about being poor is that it becomes a mentality. If you have spare money after your bills are paid, you get used to it disappearing by life's circumstances such as an issue with your car, so people have the mentality of "I need to spend it before it gets spent on something else." That's why when people do their taxes and get money back for child tax credits and stuff and suddenly they go from a couple dollars in the account to $3000-$5000+ they go out and buy sofas or nice televisions.

  • How do you explain your reasons for jumping ship?

    Jump

  • Totally agree. It's important to remember that good recruiters sell good stories, not resumes. You want your recruiter to say "wow, this kid is ambitious and well spoken. Sounds like he's a prime candidate for this role."

    That helps the hiring company too. It signals that they can get tenure from this potential hire and that they'll be eager to start contributing ASAP. I'll take an ambitious, eager professional over a grumpy, grizzled veteran any day.

  • Dang, I thought it was easier to break into programming. Did you have any formal education? I totally felt that, I had to climb through the ranks one painful step at a time.

  • If I had the chance to follow my dreams, I would have been a paramedic, followed by either park ranger or some form of rescue team. Unfortunately, as a poor immigrant, I had to focus on pay, and paramedic pay was only about 2x minimum wage where I live, so I decided not to follow my dream. Thankfully I ended up in something else I enjoy. All that to say, you're a hero in my book, and I've always thought paramedics should be paid significantly more.

  • How do you explain your reasons for jumping ship?

  • I don't think it's necessary to give a reason for ambitions, such as financial goals. If it's not true, a good interviewer will sniff it out and catch you off foot. Self improvement should be part of basic intuition for any professional. It's also not necessary to elaborate on why you're leaving, this is risky territory for a young professional. I'd answer this by focusing about what initially excited me about the role, how much I've grown my skills and expertise, and what I'm looking for in my next role. That speaks for itself without trashing your company. I agree with everything else you said.
