As the other commenter called out it's low considering to get to this salary at 15 years of experience you also have to have a master's degree. Master degree holders have a median salary $95k in the US so this is off the mark by a considerable amount.

The new budget just got approved. Last year a teacher with 15 years of experience made $58,270 and this year they will make $62,500 so right around an 8% bump but the prior two years was only a ~$1000 bump each.
So 2023 -> 2026 $56,250 -> $62,500 was roughly 12% increase in pay but adjusted for inflation $62500 in 2026 is ~$57,220 in 2023 so not even an actual raise of $1000 in buying power.
Here's a brief comparison (Titus 1)

Interviewing with average interviewers ruined it.
She (rightfully?) calls me out for watching videos and listening to audiobooks or podcasts at 2x
The prompts reflect the actual jobs enterprise workers perform every day. Each task drops an AI agent into a live company environment, requiring them to cross-reference an extensive, multi-section handbook against a cluttered inbox, a multi-channel Slack workspace, Jira queues, and a stack of files (spreadsheets, PDFs), and working out both what to do and what the handbook forbids.
I believe you just set the dirs property in the backend config to look in whatever directory / directories you want it just defaults to jinja2 as you discovered.
There are dozens of us! It's a great db management toolkit. I've used it to much success many times for things like managing migrations from mysql to postgres and php to python.
My opinions:
- Django apps are an anitipattern for large internal / single purpose products due to migration overhead as FKs cross application boundaries. I will die on this hill. No team is ever disciplined enough to keep apps as boundaries for relationships and constraints. Strong contrast to the rails crowd that doesn't rely on referential integrity in the db by default where this isn't "a thing".
- Goose[0] migrations in Go are really great but you have to let go of the dsl and the idea that your ORM drives your migrations, as you explicitly called out. Laravel[1] is on par with django IMO and a delight to use when in php-land. I've not tried to repurpose it like I have with Django and sqlalchemy.
- sqlalchemy and alembic is a great toolchain outside of django that get's a bit of a bad wrap / confusion from django devs. it gives you that same ability to drive the changes from the classes / structs without having to drag around all of django. It having more verbose
jinja2 is drop in by changing the template backend. You can actually run both at the same time (just can't mix them, ofc).
I also noticed my issues were worse after my 3rd bout of covid :-/ I had very high sensitivity to alcohol and caffeine after the 2nd bout and have largely cut both out of my life (I never drank more than 20 drinks / year in my life anyway).
And all the other numbers tie back to this. No one wants to invest in a story that ends on a cliffhanger to not be renewed or even worse to get season 2 that is >50% filler because the writers save up for 5 seasons and then season 2 ends on a cliffhanger to never be renewed.
It's all got too much sprawl and poorer production value now. Good riddance
Cars, student debt, credit card debt all gone. (And I dread needing a new car). Covered downpayment on my house and cash for a nice shed that matches the house and a fence so my kid can play in the back yard with no issue.
Invested low 5 figures into myself taking a year off and now I am getting serious about the 401k at 41. And I am ok with that.
I never worked at a big tech company and I covered my mom's down payment and appliances and new carpet and part of her move for her to move close to me. Dad died when I was 11 so I am all she has and she was a public school teacher so she's on a small pension.
We all walk a different life and I know people that make my entire life savings in a year but I will eventually grow a retirement to get me through 10-15 years and then it will be what it will be. (Maybe a tank of helium and bag)
I know folks on here have a love / hate relationship but I think this would benefit from moving to cloudflare's stack. Current server is completely dead (has a Hostinger IP so they probably took it down from the traffic spike)
Ben stiller produced a documentary for HBO "Born to Bowl" and it was very engaging. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Born_to_Bowl
