Was a guy that left the company 3 months after.

I've also been this guy a few times. Haha.

We both ended in much better positions than our peers, looking 5 years back.

salary

I don't give a f. I'll do whatever I think is right rather than optimizing myself over some study.

Maybe stop being a wage slave and having the mindset of one. I know it is a bit of a hard statement, but life goes MUCH beyond a paycheck.

Let's suppose your friends will be richer in the end of their lives than you.

Should that change you? If yes, then maybe you need to grow up as a stronger person, maybe with hobbies and something beyond a number that receives money in the end of the month.

Being born in a third world country playing soccer on the street with the kids and being poor and now living in Europe, I barely see any change other than I need to live with disgusting people more frequently. This $250k/year life is quite boring, you are the company you work for. I grew up thinking about being great at software, have a lot of friends, this and that, not that I have to make more money than my friends(I make like 100x of the people I was born and lived most of my life with, but it makes no difference). I actually want to maybe help they also to get it. As we are healthy and productive citizens, it is up to us to help who are behind or maybe just need somebody to talk to, or a laugh.

Every raise I get, the less fun people I get to live/work with. I've been fighting against this trend for a while already and my life has been getting much better. It isn't saying that I don't wan t to succeed, but that success for me in my profession has changed. For instance, I would rather have impact(could be in a political party or a movement/be a good husband/good friend etc). Or speak another language(already got a few) etc.

Any type of graph you have, you can use it, just like integrals, to calculate areas etc.

For a lot of things in life we plot graphs. Your software might do it transparently to you, but how it works internally is using mathematical concepts. It is good to know it and I really enjoyed learning it at college, as it opens your mind about how things work. But I don't believe it is a must to know.

You sir. Have no idea about software development.

Extensibility is just as important as Bugfree software for some businesses. Actually, for most of them.

Technical debt hurts much more the extensibility of your code rather than raises the number of bugs.

It might be upvoted because people find it catchy. But if you have ever wrote code in your life, you know that person who wrote about it got no idea whatsoever about software development.

I'll upvote it as well, as it is possibly the thing with the least amount of intelligence that I've read so far in my life.

You didn't talk about your personal life, but I think you should focus on it. Work is a great enabler, with a good enough salary you can afford to do very exciting things when you are not at work.

And when you are at work, you can try to shape your craft, go to a few conferences, try to get something new to your brain.

Also, enjoy life. The endless search for something better will never end and it is one of your best qualities, but don't let yourself, your body and soul suffer and suppress that by letting it make you depressed.

I was kind of like you, then I found a wife, moved abroad, still work with the same stuff as before, but having to adapt to different contexts, culture and language made me grow a lot personally and also I believe in my job. Maybe consider that. If you are American and know those things, hell, even from a third world country(like I was), you can definitely find a job abroad that will give enough problems to solve(immigration is hard) that will keep you busy for a few years...

Wish you the best, cheers.

Maybe consider saving enough money in order to buy a property over there before moving, that will greatly help you. Other than that, just move there.

If you do that, your cost of living will be lower and in Canada you will have access to good healthcare, education and maybe to enjoy things again which doesn't imply monetary property. I'm pretty sure that overall, you'll have happier and more educated kids. I can imagine the kind of monsters people grow in the USA.

I live in Germany and we have many points like Canada and I just laugh when I hear about "could make more money elsewhere" or "career" in America when life is much softer and nicer here. Sure, things aren't perfect here, but at least people in general care about the environment and the personal space of others, I can easily get a lot of vegetarian/vegan food in Berlin and people are just awesome, many of them, from the US and sick of the state of art country you've got there. If you don't care about this and is a psycho which just want to maximize how much you make and then die, just stay in the US. It is a good place for you to be.

If I had the chance to pick living in the USA or in a first developed country, somewhat decent living conditions and economy. I would definitely pick the second choice.

I seriously wouldn't feel like living in a the same country of Trump, or just the average american mindset. It just looks pretty retarded to me. It's a economy that only exists because it manages to really impose its power around the world, so americans there feel like they got something, but it's always in exchange of somebodys life or happiness. I'm not sure if I would like to tell my kids I'm this kind of person, or my family. I wouldn't feel happy for myself.

But that's just me. Make your choice, but remember, life isn't your salary or your job position.

In Germany you can definitely get a job without a degree.

The company will need to dig much further into the bureaucracy path in order to do so, so you need to be a great candidate.

Maybe how about just enjoying the good time with your partner and family?

I've got married almost 3 years ago and didn't do anything apart from getting a company to do my party. No fb groups or anything, no regrets, it was perfect.

We also wrote a lot of stuff offline and talked about how we wanted it, but all the planning software and so on that exists makes me think that people are doing a lot of useless stuff.

We didn't even film it, had a photo session where like 2-3 pictures in the end we cared about. There's a lot of bullshit in the industry and it all makes it either more expensive or less special.

My mother and father filmed it, I believe that they've watched it like twice and whenever they tried to show me I just slept, it's boring as fuck and it's only very emotional, nice and cool when you are actually in the moment, at the time, with yourself. All the rest is just bullshit, it's about showing people on fb that you are married and so on, which is something I don't feel so comfortable to share because it's very personal.

I bet couples and people are different, but if I had to bikeshed even the color of the plants on the table or my wife did, it probably meant that we don't like each other that much. We just enjoyed the time and had a very nice moment together, from when we decided to marry, to the party and after.

Now as I'm getting older, I'm having my younger friends getting married and asking me this kind of stuff, but when I really dig them, some of them are getting married just so they don't split up... really... dunno. Hard to say.

Yes there is, don't listen to the entire comment of the user sitepodmatt.

As he has mentioned, knowing solidity can give you an edge in a company that wants to write ethereum contracts, but that generally means it isn't like a day job, you can also freelance for companies that wants it.

Don't consider his opinion about the success or not of ethereum, smart contracts are there to stay and even if you code in another platform in another SDK the basics will roughly be the same. But anyways, I believe ethereum will thrive, nobody actually said that Ethereum was scalable enough anyways, everybody knows its limitations but instead how about looking where it wants to be? :-)

so shitty, they didn't give a SINGLE REASON

this is applied to the 1 year period

from my understanding, if bitcoin went down 50% based on the value you had invested in the beginning of the year, you pay nothing of taxes, because you had no profit. and you only pay taxes if you sell it.

i frequently trade in the stock market and that's how it works there though.

you should write a post in medium with this content...
