On average, I would say a senior would get between 3k and 4k euros in RO, at a regular company. It depends a lot on city too. In bucharest salaries should be higher.

Obviously Amazon thinks that mortages can be paid just by flexing their employee badge.

Yup.

I haven't worked there, but I've seen salary reports online between 1.5k-2k euros for a senior, after taxes, per month.

Amazon pays less than local outsourcing companies in Eastern Europe.

Faang salary my arse.

Lowered the bar so low that I'm getting a lot of scams and fishing.

Ha, in RO it's 5 mins. We win. And yes, they leave it with emergency lights too.

I think the paid content features are part of Jetpack the plugin.

ISS has windows, right?

It's not accurate, at least for RO. According to an official site, 32% of our electricity comes from wind since yesterday. On this site it says it's 0.5%

I was thinking about implementing a OSS one, I even started a thread about it. Sadly, I don't have any experience in this domain.

Care to share those ideas?

Since it's not using PSR-7, does it mean that you could even run WordPress?

You don't, it's one of the issues I have, trying really hard to scope the project. I basically try to replicate the features the likes of Greenhouse are selling, obviously on a simpler scale.

Ideally I would prefer to sustain myself from one of these projects. There are a lot of projects that are successful. Sure they aren't making a fortune, but they enough money to support their maintainers.

As a software engineer, you don't have many options other than building yet another tech shovel for your fellow engineers.

I would want to build something that actually benefits non technical users. Not sure if it makes sense what I'm trying to say.

Wow, your professor had an amazing idea! I wonder why isn't this strategy more common in college classes.

I'm thinking about starting an OSS project as an alternative to Greenhouse and the likes (applicant tracking software) in written in PHP, as that's my main language at work.

However, I'm a bit relunctant seeing the hate the language gets even though I would use a modern framework like Symfony or API-Platform.

NuScale is planning to install a few of them in Europe too. According to local news, the first EURO one will be installed in Romania.

I think having some insulation is better than having none. But yeah, if you want to do it properly, it would cost a lot more.

As for heating your neighbours, a lot of cities have city heating and is paid depending on how many people live in the apartment, so you don't care that much about it. Of course, some folks have gas boilers in their apartment (like me) but it won't make sense financially to insulate the inner walls.

I think it's the same for new buildings here too, if not worse. A lot of regulations aren't actually respected and because a lot of builders left for WE, there's a huge problem with finding skilled workers.

Europe is a big continent, even EU is so diverse.

A lot of people in Eastern Europe live in apartments and houses that can be insulated extremely cheap. There are even EU or government programs that make it affordable.

Until Apple decides to lower their prices for the Air M2, I'll wait with my upgrade from M1. I own an Air M1 with 8GB and I was thinking to buy the newer version until I saw the pricing.

Heck, the difference between the M1 with 16GB RAM and 512 GB storage and a M1 14" MPB with the same amount of RAM and storage is around 60 euros (from a local reseller). I haven't bought the MBP PRO because I find it too heavy for my personal usage (I also have a company MBP 16" Intel that will be replaced next month with an M1 Max version).

I'm currently working with Phabricator too, but in our case it was chosen a long time ago, before other platforms were popular

Phabricator is no longer maintained, from what I remember and is used most of the time with svn. I 'm curious why they opted for it in the first place, instead of a more modern platform.

Have you considered moving them on a managed version of WP(something like wordpress.com)? That would be the easiest option for me.

I guess older people do that in farmers market or when trying to sell used stuff - some real estate can be negociated too, but usually the seller mentions it in the ad. Other than that, it's kinda weird to negociate stuff in stores or for services, at least for me, a 30yo male.

As a romanian this makes me curious why you thought is Romania, haha.

Please go to a nutritionist. As someone who lost 40kgs by starving myself (and put them back on in 3 years), now I have high levels of uric acid and need to take pills all my life, otherwise I'll have (yet another) goute attack.

Just saw some videos with that wargonzo neckbeard. Just disgusting, I wonder how he sleeps each night knowing how much shit he eats for a living.

Yes, I'm aware. I'm not worried because in my contracts it's mentioned that I offer consulting services.

Yup, I'm a PFA with a fixed taxation rate (norma de venit) using 6202. Keep in mind that taxation rates differ by a lot for each county.
