In this context, it’s an employment specialization that allows you to earn a greater than average income. I was amazed that as a software tester I used to get paid more than a nurse, an arguably more stressful and more important employment path.

I’m on the left. It’s a hard thing that happens in life that I am pointing out, not agreeing with.

if it didn’t make us angry, and INFLUENCE OTHER BUSINESSES TO DO THE SAME REPUGNANT SHIT, we’d be buying it.

Kirchner disapproved of this meanwhile Milei…

I assume he said some rambling anti left wing nonsense while talking to his cloned dogs and wielding a chainsaw.

For the uninitiated, the previous sentence contains things that Milei actually did, but probably not at the same time.

No job, no clue. At the start the perspective of some others and me were that it felt like I just fell out of the sky and tried to integrate into society.

I figured I’d either do immersion learning for spanish, or succeed and set up my life here.

The job came fairly easily, one of the companies from my first wave of applications accepted me.

step 1 : have a career

step 2 : don’t spend that much money, building up savings

step 3 : time is money, therefore, money is time.

step 4 : be very, very frugal during your time with no work. I ate a lot of protein powder, eggs and pasta

Uruguay, still there.

Hey, I actually did this! It was the best time of my life.

My aim was to migrate to south america, specialize in my career and get in/stay in shape.

I spent my days going to the gym, learning spanish, doing impromptu streams on twitch (I found a little community in my preperations to quit my job) , and I did travel to the country I wanted to migrate to and to NY to see a band that rarely plays live, visit my family in a different country and to visit my bud that lived in scandinavia.

I spent a month with my family preparing a portfolio.

I saved money during my career, about $16k over several years,and figured, if time is money, money is time.

I’m happy to answer any questions.

fuck him not just for making those people’s lives miserable, but for stamping down the fucking wages of everyone else in tech by flooding the fucking market

Modify this to be less funny but relevant:

Ludwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand. Paul Ehrenfest, carrying on the work, died similarly in 1933. Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics.

various obscure Indian Engineers have spent their lives learning shitty Business Software, just to make ends meet have created works to share that information and to line their own pockets. Now it’s your turn to learn shitty business software so that you can make ends meet.

I am desperately trying to get a new fucking client and fighting the urge to drink myself to death

treat someone the way you would want to be treated; if that person is a rabid idiot that spews things like “death penalty now” , then make an exception since they don’t deserve good treatement; they deserve what they would do to other people, it’s ok to make an exception for these people.

either reuters or AP news

Do to others as you would have done to you

Do to others as they would do to others

Nothing should be forbidden if it harms no one

depends, but I usually don’t reference more of the occasional things I listen to , less of the electronic/breakcore or experimental/obviously avant garde (less Secret chiefs 3, more crossfire duo )

EDIT : my wife doesn’t mind the tech death/grindcore, she does mind the free jazz/avant garde classical

I recall using MSN as far as in to 2009, but the friends I was connected with migrated to Facebook when their chat feature rolled out.

another reason to hate facebook

Your paycheck will reflect the same amount of money regardless — and if it doesn’t, you may want to find a better employer. 😅

bruh, the scenario you’re describing is meant to be “code shipped = bonus pay” not “code not shipped = less pay”

you had these ready to go huh?
