Heck, I’d be pulling more than that if I were a self-employed consultant rather than under a consulting firm, in our small city in northern Scandinavia.

Now I’m raking in a little below that, and I’m taking out like a third of it as actual salary and saving the rest, to avoid high taxes, and to to pay for a leased car, pension saving, extra insurance etc, before taxes. But after all that I’m probably saving $3k every month tax free, and maybe $1,5k in my bank account.

Engineering life is pretty okay. Still can’t afford a house yet though. Thanks boomers.

Yaay, mazel tov!

I’m using the official Google Messages app on a Pixel 9 Pro. I’m still getting bullshit iOS responses from old-iPhone users. Very annoying.

Happy cake day!

Ah yes, so it is!

Love the Windows XP detail lol

Might be good!

I just didn’t become a software developer to generate output. I became a software developer to be a craftsman. To write the code is the fun. If that is taken away from me, I’m out.

If the entire software industry mandated AI, I would either create some kind of startup, or just reeducate myself into some other field, like landscaping or something. Because fuck AI.

Not sure how that helps creators, honestly. No money from torrenters are going to the creators, by torrenting. Unless they decide to buy collectors’ merch in the end, of course.

Suuure let’s count it!

I still don’t get it, honestly

I concur about this software. It’s pretty darn nice.

Happy cake day!

I’m gonna need someone to explain this lol

Out of a cannon.

Exactly. So they aren’t talking with the same protocol. TVs can turn themselves on, but PCs just don’t send the required signals. ✔️
