Currently making 50k USD before taxes in Vancouver... I'm pretty sure it'd be a big increase if I went down.

Great "advice" (on a deeper level) in this book - It's scary how many of these points frequently drift on you, such as rule 1: stand up straight with your shoulders back. Peterson also lays an interesting point - you should s

Probably of the Mr. Money Moustache flavour, r/financialindependence. Basically say 750k in index funds so that even a 3% return would net you enough to cover your basic expenses, perpetually.

High frequency trading. Built enough of a nest egg (probably < 5MM) at age of 30 and will go off to pursue his own goals. Before you think that "talent was wasted on a zero-sum game", keep in mind that the rest of my peers in t

My money is on DBeaver (free). The killer feature is that you can have all the queries you're doing laid out on the same place and execute the one you want as pleased, and also selecting rows of results and generating an `INSERT` state

Can you talk more about your experience, or what sort of projects you worked on in previous roles to become a "lead automation engineer"?

How did you end up getting properly diagnosed for Bipolar disorder? I'm currently taking antidepressants after battling SOME kind of mental illness for most of my adult life. I'm really inside my head, and often have very existent

This is really good because of the attention paid to the ease and ergonomic physics of dragging the nodes. Keep up the good work.

Hypergamy exists virtually across all cultures. Women date up.

Same here. At some point I was disillusioned with the idea of working in a corporate because I thought I was just "selling my soul out for golden handcuffs" (doesn't help to watch some Mr. Robot, Fight Club, etc.), but in rea

Excellent comment. I have been struggling with some form of pseudo-depression (never got diagnosed) due to some odd mixture of social anxiety, too much narcissism, lack of motivation, poor biochemistry (probably porn addiction and too much

Could you explain what you mean, particularly the last part? So you're saying having that independent high paying job, in your experience, really helped things? For me, that's almost my only "hope" of a better future - I

Your skills section says you know everything, but your resume basically contradicts / trolls itself. Get rid of these red flags first. Work experience should be at the top. Heck, I'm sure you've done some software development

Did all of these offers come from one of Seattle, SF, or NYC?

+1 for DBeaver, tried most of the alternative clients already, love how you can easily copy and paste a generated INSERT statement based on a selected row, makes easy for "debug cycles".

I'm relatively new to the workforce so take this with a grain of salt, but I think this is a false dichotomy. People who are less agreeable, more assertive will make more money because they negotiate more on their own behalf. The poste

I was surprised to read this post because it echoes my sentiments down to the T. Another one is when I learn or read anything, I almost reflexively think about how I might dispense that information in front of an audience (friends, a crowd)

This feeling of behindness for me comes in the form of thinking that I have squandered my potential compared to someone my age who didn't mess up. I should have graduated in 2011, and could've been saving up significantly as a sen

Relevant. Watch Jordan Peterson's talk on "The Necessity of Virtue", goes deep into psychology, philosophy, history, to deliver the point that: life is suffering, not in a pessimistic way, but by recognizing your "being&

Currently attempting to do this. Marketing and getting to those first few customers is the hardest part, even though I already built a functional full stack web application.
