Second year of an evening course, one deck of about 3000 cards, currently 30 new a day and roughly 200 reviews. I have 45 minutes on weeknights and nothing on Fridays. Splitting by chapter would let me focus on what is…
About 400 a month going in, twelve holdings, commission free platform with fractional shares, taxable account. I could turn on automatic reinvestment per holding, or let dividends sit as cash and deploy everything…
Third time in five months. I file the travel notice in the app before I fly, and it still gets blocked on the first or second transaction, and then I am on hold for 40 minutes to a fraud line with a local SIM and hotel…
No following anywhere. I decided the honest way to start was to go where people ask about the problem my tool solves, answer properly without linking, and leave the product in my profile. Six weeks, roughly 60 answers,…
New client, six week engagement, and in the two scoping calls so far they've changed the core requirement twice. They're not difficult, they're just early and figuring it out as they go. My instinct says hourly because…
Started from just flour and water 15 days ago. It rises and falls predictably now, roughly doubling in six hours on a 1:1:1 feed at room temperature, but the smell has gone from pleasant and yoghurty around day eight to…
I have a measure that flags high value customers and sums their orders. Each row in the table looks right, but the total at the bottom is much smaller than adding the visible rows myself. Nobody at work seems surprised…
8oz jar, 7cm diameter, soy container wax, CD10 wick, 8 percent fragrance oil. First burn ran three and a half hours and the melt pool reached about 5cm across, leaving a ring of hard wax on the glass. Second burn was…
The kick sounds good alone, the bass sounds good alone, together the low end turns into mush that pumps. I've tried carving 60 80Hz out of the bass, then tried carving it out of the kick instead, and both versions sound…
Bootstrapped, $4.7k MRR, personal savings cover roughly 11 more months. Monthly only right now at $39. I keep going back and forth on offering annual at 20% off ($374/yr). Arguments I have made to myself in both…
One off purchase, $39, with a no questions asked refund policy because that felt like the decent thing to do. Two refunds so far. Both people had generated and downloaded their complete export within an hour of paying,…
No audience, no list, no budget. What I do have is nine years of doing the thing my tool does, so I can answer most questions in my niche properly. Every time I go to post I freeze, because the communities where those…
Charity shop wool blazer, took 3cm total out of each side seam from underarm to hem to lose the boxiness. It looks much better standing still and now I can barely reach forward, the armholes feel a size smaller. I…
Pulling 80kg for sets of 5 and my hands are the limiting factor by a mile. Last set the bar rolls out of my fingers on rep 3 and my back and legs feel like they had another two in them. I have small hands and the bar in…
Closing on a 1940s house next month and the settlement sheet has a mandatory lender's title policy plus an optional owner's policy for a few hundred more. The property has changed hands twice in the last ten years and…
60k lines of TypeScript, five years old, and we want to move from a hand rolled DI container to plain constructor injection. Touches roughly 180 files. Nothing about it is hard, it's just enormous and boring — exactly…
First app I have ever submitted. It is a local only calculator for a niche trade no accounts, no server, no network calls at all. I left the demo account fields empty and wrote "no account required" in the notes.…
I have been drinking the same roasted oolong for two months, 5g in a 120ml gaiwan, water just off the boil, short steeps. I moved flat and bought a new kettle at the same time, and now it tastes thin and slightly…
First January with the cafe open. December was excellent, and takings for the first three weeks of January are running about 40% below the December average and roughly 25% below October. Same hours, same menu, no…
Been doing pull ups three days a week, 4 sets to failure each session, which is basically 4, 3, 2, 2. Hasn't moved since March. Bodyweight is stable, I sleep fine, and I'm not sore the next day. Everything I read says…
Put out a tray of lettuce, chard and kale seedlings ten days ago, all hardened off over a week of increasing outdoor time. They have not died and they have not grown. A few outer leaves went pale and papery. The kale…
2016 hatchback, 96000km, private seller, second owner. Interior is genuinely clean, service book has stamps up to 2023 then nothing. Three different tyre brands on four wheels, and the oil is so clean it looks like it…
Internal API, about 40 endpoints, two of us. I want runtime validation at the boundary and types that cannot drift from it. There is an OpenAPI document generated from the handlers today but nobody fully trusts it.…
Backend role, six years of experience, offer landed at the very bottom of a band that spans about twenty two percent from floor to ceiling. I have no competing offer, I like the team, and my current job is fine but…
I want something that looks like a watch at a dinner table and still counts steps and sleep. Budget to about $400, iPhone. What worries me is that every hybrid I've looked at has a tiny sub dial or a hidden display, and…
