I think you hugely underestimate how critical corona could have hit us.

Or/and you forgot what happened in New York? Just imagine that in every bigger city at once.

I see a huge change through what Epic Games showed with UE5 and that geometry.

For me, this next Gen basically just solved Load Times, SSD Load Priority, Raytracing/Light, Detailed Geometry with Light etc.

It feels very obvious, don't get me wrong, but it is still not available yet. It is new.

I personally like the independed IO chip very much. I have and had seen enough latency issues on current Operating Systems due to full busses due to super fast NVMs.

I was used to SSD Speed, then i added an NVM and holy shit that shit is so much faster.

Good time to be alive.

Both worlds win here:

Finally the gamer gets low/no loading which is nice to have.

But also it becomes much easier for Game Developers.

I'm still looking forward to it, after all, it is an huge improvement to current gen, independently of how long it took and how old the ps4 is.

And i'm not 100% sure if this doesn't affect PC Gaming. After all Direct Storage will hopefully fix small SSD Issues you also have on PC right now.

Yeah the house but my park would not fit on 1000 square meter :)

My biggest worry is, when i finaly have the money and the ground to build my dream, that i'm not allowed to due to building restrictions :(...

Germany is densily populated and you can get a house + ground with 2-5 acres for 200-500.000k but they are all in the so called 'outter area' and apparently we don't want that. You have strict building restrictions. you can't just tear it down and rebiuld it (what you often need to to be able to build their at all. Your dream house will not be the original 0815 building)

Anyway, while i have a ton of ideas, my main motivation is to create spaces and design a house around it.

That spot where you gonna watch movies, the wind and rain protected outdoor place to watch the rain, the office which allows me to look out, feel the wind and having enough shade that my screen is usefull, the gaming room, they day bedroom, bright, with a great view and the tea room. Something like when Dr. Strange was finding that teacher there was a very beautiful japanese style empty square room with openings to every side and curtains.

Aaaand a Workshop, hobby room with big window to the north, solar power, additional water reserve and a storehouse for gworing your own food.

All of that should be in a layout with optimizes sun exposure. And it has either stacks of wood outside the window with slits high enough that you can look out but the sun doesn't annoy you or other high quality automatic blindes.

Modern, pratical, sustainable (also cheap to maintain).

Basically to build my dream house, i just need luck, time and money. Luck for the location and building regulations, Time to think that through and money.

I think i watched too much BBCs Grand Designs

General speaking? It doesn't matter much. You are a Student. Your career is not something which is just there its something which grows over time.

I had the experience for looking for a new intern and one guy was telling us about his StartUp. Thats fine you know? but also its 99% bullshit.

A small business as a software developer to build, is actually not that hard. The demand is just that high. But that person didn't sound like 'hey i was coding on the side' more like 'yeah we will be the next google'.

Yeah of course you will be and so tell me why you where interviewing with us?

So thats the biggest point: Why do i care about your Startup if you are interviewing for our position? It should show your passion perhaps but thats it. If all other candidates are better technical speaking and are a better team fit, you are out. And with your GPA you probably have risked a good starting position at a bigger company.

Nonetheless about your Startup: What do you really earn vs. what do you expect? Why do you even tell us what you expect?

"I can imagine reaching $200k AAR"?

You are student, you have apparently not reached 10-20k AAR and you have not reached $200k AAR. I don't care about stuff you have not reached. And if its so great in your eyes, why would you try to be hired?

It is super simple: Show me, in the interview process, that you are honest ( don't cheat, i had that...), you are motivated & passion (you like to talk about technology perhaps), you have energy (like you will not be the person sitting in the corner and i have to take care of you all the time) AND you have basic technology understanding and you in.

And don't come in into an interview and tell me, you wanna be part of our company but if your startup makes it big, you are out. Like i don't fucking care about your startup. I care about a team and i might not have the chance to hire another one because of no available head count.

I would not compare something like DO with Google/AWS/Azure.

Google has a globally spanning Network under its own control. They have peering with all bigger ISPs / Networkowner.

DO doesn't has that. They have barely a few locations and not all locations support all services.

When Google tell you they have 1-3ms latenc between Zones, thats what they have. On DO you probably don't even check that.

If you need to operate globally, you will probably not go to DO. You wanna provide a good service with low latency globally, you go to GAA.

What Google also does, it terminates your TLS connection as close as possible, for low latency for that expensive roundtrip and encrypts it internally.

When i'm looking for my private stuff, i'm not going to GAA, i go to DO or Hetzner. They are cheap, relativly reliable and thats it.

When i'm doing something at work, i will not go to DO or Hetzner if it costs me overhead. That stuff needs to run, 24/7, without me or my colleges interacting with it. That would cost much more. It is also an operational risk.

The scale also changes: If a Service costs me 500$ more per month on AWS but it allows me to have a few new bigger customers (b2b) onboarded, no one will look at those 500$. An external developer costs between 600-1000$ per day.

I still can't tell you how reasonable those Bandwithprices are, but i do know, that when i would need low latency or high bandwith also at peak time, i would go to GAA and i assume that that is part of the cost you pay for it.

I would argue that spaced repetition does work and it is based on repetition. That you can do that wrong by just 'browsing' over your learning material again and again, okay but i would still connect good learning with repetition.

I can recommend in getting in k8s with something like microk8s from ubuntu:

You will learn k8s and you will get the same thing as they do but with open components, industry standards and a whole industry moving in this direction.

I have already microk8s running at home with argocd. I have never had IaC that quick and that simple setup.

With traefik you can have your domains as well. Then just go to gitlab (or now to github, haven't checked out yet if i wanna migrate back) and register your microk8s cluster as a buildrunner.

Thats it you are set. Quite future proof setup, modern, stable, easy to use.

What an attitude :(

If you don't like a company, you have 3 options: 1. Try to change it, if that doesn't work -> quit without complaining. It is not your company 2. If you don't wanna change it 2.1 quit 2.2 accept how it is

You should not complain and complain and complain. You only make it worse for people who either like their jobs (for whatever reasons you can't see or understand) or they have, in comparision to you, no other choice.

I'm not perfect in this, i'm more the 'i complain and start changing things'.

Really shitty old git hosting solution, 6 weeks later it was replaced by me with gitlab.

Onboarding procedures might be shit, but you should be smart enough to handle situations like this. Do i care if i have a desk at the first week? No, i will just work less efficient and if the sitatuion doesn't change i either ask around and take care of it or i quit. And with quitting i don't mean rage quit i mean 'hey so yeah super sry about this but i have the feeling that we are not a good match.' quit.

Is that then good for me that i can wait it out?

And what is with all those pension fonts etc.?

Why is that hard to understand?

What else should i suddenly do with my money if i invested it in the stock market?

I mean srsly getting it out now to do nothing with it means losing money. If i invest long termish, even if corona hits hard, after it hit, live continues and the economy will recover.

We lost 2 years of stock market growth anyway. Thats a shit tone of money.

As bad as it sounds, the worst two things from corona are: people dying and business not conducted. People dying also means reduced cost for the economy due to less old people (more working people ratio) and less sick peole/health insurance costs after. The other thing might mean that we clear out unhealthy businesses. But who pays the bill? People who had money before probably. All others hit the base line of social security.

Lets see how it plays out. To be honest, i don't have a better idea and as i don't need to get it out now, i will keep it where it is.

And rallying it is because live goes on.

I took part in the beta and checked out my city. It is unbelievable impressive.

My City is not that big and its in germany. But still, i was able to fly over my flat \o/.

And we have sandbanks and a river, autobahn, bridges etc. and it looks still great! There have been cars driving as well :)

I actually thought i'm the type of person who needs the office.

Apparently i'm not. That gives me great hope for my future plan to do home office when buying a farm.

Just yesterday i did nothing in the morning and worked highly concentrated and efficient until 10pm (that was a one time thing normally i'm quite punctual as i had an private appointment).

When working at the office, i have to hurry to be on time and at the evening i'm stressing on going home because i wanna see my wife and a wanna eat something. Now my wife is here anyway and i'm much more flexible now.
