wait out the 6 weeks, no question. 2 months pay is not something you just leave on table, especially if you're going back to studies where every bit of money counts

  
just mentally check out for those 6 weeks, do your tasks, be polite, don't engage with the negativity more than you need to. they can pressure you but they literally cannot fire you, so the power is more in your side than it feels right now

Simple life style, no mortgage, but $4,500 in monthly expenses? Doesn’t make sense. 

It is the cheapest way to appreciate an employee

Bill Ackman got some lucky picks and has been coasting off those wins for decades.

Wouldn't worry about it. That's a lot of money to you but not to the company, and their policy is clear. If anyone asks you didn't see the economy price did you because you just went straight to premium economy booking

It sounds like you have half a year's worth of emergency savings. Now is the time to save for when you can't work. 

Locking up money until you turn 59.5 is scary. What's scarier is depending on $2k a month worth of social security when a week's worth of food in 2050 costs $1k. 

if it's in policy just book it, that's literally what the policy exists for

Pizza is great if I'm already paid well, or if the pizza is a common thing. If it's once or twice a year and I'm paid poorly, it seems almost condescending.

They live a very simple lifestyle

With no debt and paid off home, how are they spending 4600/month if they live a simple life? That’s the expense of someone with rent or mortgage. 

> My siblings and I are willing to help run it and to cover any expense shortfalls if it’s not fully profitable.

Why? Are you wealthy yourself? 

He's not  brilliant.

When you have a million guys all picking stocks, a few of them will get lucky and pick all good ones. Then their luck runs out eventually. That's what seems to happen with most of the famous investors out there.

If even the professionals can't do stock picking, what chance do you have as a total amateur? Stick with index funds.

Don't quit. Show your homework (aka do your job every day) until that bonus hits so they can't say you quit. 

$4,500/month with no mortgage is not living simply. Do you know the details of where that money is going? Theoretically there should be lots of room to cut expenses, though if those are sacrifices they are willing to make is another question. 

Because i love pizza. And it does but only while eating the pizza.

It seems like articles swing either way, home ownership is too expensive, renting is too expensive. I am unsure of which is the answer (on homes outside of HCOL areas).

>My employer requires me to put at least 5% in to get the match (4%)

So you put in $3000 and your employer matches $2400. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't voluntarily forfeit $2400. 

You already have $30k in savings, so why do you need to save more for current expenses? 

Your vesting date might not occur until you actually begin contributing.  Consider this, you are throwing away 5% of your income by not taking it.  Even if you wanted it back (after leaving this employer) with taxes and penalty, it's still more money than you would have by not contributing.  5% of your income gives you a guaranteed doubling of your investment.  Budgeting is probably the first place to look to see how you can make your savings rate more comfortable.

Look - you can ask someone who works for your company whether there is any sort of "unspoken" policy around this - but generally the business will set these sort of policies for 1) health and safety, 2) employee retention, and 3) maximising value from employee travel perspective.

1. If you get a back injury, or DVT or have a fatigue related accident after getting off a long-haul flight in cattle class - that is going to cost the company a lot more than your upgraded fare in an attempt to reduce that risk.
2. Paying for better seats when asking employees to travel away from families and lives (and typically doing unpaid overtime depending on position) improves perception of the requirement, and increases employee retention, reducing staff turnover which is very costly for a business.

3. A better class of seat means you may use the time in the air productively, but more importantly means that you will be more likely to have less jet-lag and fatigue during your trip, ensuring its success and therefore a much better outcome, which is the whole reason you are going after all.  Not much point getting there and being completely wiped out for the first couple of days.

I see it every day in my team, the code that is spat out by LLMs is very verbose and reinvents the wheel all the time. A ton of duplicated logic that nobody bothers to check line by line because a LLM will just spit out at least 100 lines of code for a simple fix that would normally require 20 lines at most. 

Every single PR now means 200-300 lines of code for fixes and +2000 for a small feature. It’s insane. 

got pushed out of a job few years back and spent first two months just... doing nothing useful lol. sleeping properly, cooking actual meals, going for walks without checking phone every ten minutes. felt weird at first because you're so conditioned to be "on" all the time

  
took me maybe 6 weeks before the constant background stress started to fade, but probably 3-4 months before I stopped having work anxiety dreams. your brain needs time to believe the threat is gone

  
and yeah, looking back it was the best push I ever got. stayed at that place I'd have kept shrinking myself to fit a space that was never really built for me. the job you described, where you have to "stay under radar" just to survive, that's not a great place to work, that's a place where you're managing the environment instead of doing your actual job

  
the 2-3 month break idea is good, don't let anyone talk you out of it if you can afford it

I am starting to see the current situation as an opportunity. Sure, let them (the C-suite) have their moment. Let them pretend for a while that they can get rid of those pesky human developers. In the meantime, the slop tech debt creeps more and more.

How long can it continue like that? 6 months? 12? After that, they'll have to capitulate. Then, the real developers will make bank. Oh, you want me to maintain and somehow fix the robotic gigantic code base that doesn't make sense? Ok pay up.

Can you get in touch with vocational rehabilitation?

I got laid off \~6 years ago from a place I worked at for nearly 12 years. In those 6 years since I’ve nearly tripled my income. 

Is your goal to get paid or is your goal to learn to work effectively?

I ask because retail and food service there are 'invisible skills' like being able to think quickly under pressure, process information in loud/distracting environments, and not get overwhelmed easily. I don't really need those abilities at my email job. People assume hospitality jobs are 'unskilled' but they're really just skills you can't pick up by taking a test or graduating from school. If you're trying to prepare yourself for similar jobs when you struggle with auditory processing or overwhelm you might be setting yourself up for a lot of stress because those work environments will never be easy for you

If you're trying to get used to the flow of an office environment but worried about losing SSDI an unpaid internship might be a decent option if you can get connected with one through school - interns are given a little more grace because 1. they're not being paid and 2. it's understood they don't know how to navigate an office job yet. 

If you're just aiming to get paid, data entry, medical billing, cleaning up AI transcripts (which still produce a lot of errors) might be less overwhelming environments and they don't pay a lot, they can often be done remotely

Where I am at, if I didn't buy my house when I did, I would be homeless, because I couldn't afford the rent 

My aunt has named me as her heir. She took care of me a lot when I was small. I’m 42 now. She’s sick (fuck cancer) and I’m afraid I may have to step into the business end of this role in the near future. She is a widow, never had children. Always has carried a lot of credit card debt, been a bit of a shopaholic (since she stopped drinking and drugging), never been “good with money”. Her husband managed the money, seemed to keep the wolf away from the door but didn’t leave behind much to work with. She owns an old house on 4 acres with a well that runs dry most summers. Smells like the urine of her 12 cats. A small barn is collapsing over assorted junk from the previous century. She can’t (or won’t) tell me exactly what she owes on her mortgage, but says the monthly payment is \~$500. It’s in a pretty beat part of NY state—farm country, not much else going on. A lot of Amish/Mennonites have bought land recently and keep the farms going. I haven’t asked for the total credit card balance, but I’d guess it’s in the 10s of thousands. She says she’s working on getting my name added to her deed, so avoid probate and estate taxes. I don’t know much about this stuff.

I’m not thinking about a windfall, but I suddenly had this anxious fear that I might wind up spending a lot of money to settle her affairs. Even if I move quickly to sell the house, it’s full of stuff—so either I spend money to empty it, or that hits the value. And between the balance of the mortgage and the credit card debt, her “estate” may well be a net negative value.

I guess my question is: do heirs inherit credit card debt? In order to settle her estate, am I holding the bag to pay all her creditors?

Any information or advice would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Edit: spelling error that would have confused meaning 

I’m an heir to a broke aunt

**Overview:** Today will be close to 1111 days since I Fire’d from working as a systems engineer for about 25 years+. For the most part the work was fulfilling which is likely why I stayed there so long. I have been doing a lot of reflection on what my life looks like now and wanted to share some thoughts with you. You can read my detailed journey to FI in my earlier posts.  
  
**Financials:** Here are a few of my numbers: Family of 4, Retired in 2023 with a networth that has increased to 7.9M in 2026. Our withdrawal rate is in the 1-3% range. We no longer budget but naturally maintain annual expenses in the 60-80K range. We feel like we have almost everything we want and are now spending a bigger portion of the dividend income. We are invested in the SMP500 (38%), A single stock from previous RSUs (23%), real estate 35%, other investments (3%) and Cash 1%. Continuing to slowly divest from the single stock RSU and increase the index fund over time. The main reason for not completely liquidated the RSUs is to control the capital gains and also maintaining MAGI. We are also starting to build an international index portfolio for additional diversification.  
  
**Life:** So far, we have not been bored at all and every day provides new adventures. We have done our first cruise ever in our lives. I have cycled over 900 miles this year alone and **hiked** over 1 million steps. I’ve also done some things for others that truly brought me **joy**. There is so much to do and so little time. I have discovered runner’s high and a real sense of calm and joy I like I’ve never known before. Its hard to describe but imagine the best day of your life and then imagine getting to live it almost each and every day. That’s how it feels.  
  
Some **thoughts and realizations**, on early retirement:

I now regret staying as long as I did in the corporate career. There are so many opportunities I see now which would likely have landed me in the same or better position. I got too busy at work and was not able to pursue them. Nonetheless, I’m still grateful I got to retire at 45 although 35 or 40 would have been better.

Its okay to slow down and have lots of quiet unplanned time. A lot of my inspiration and new ideas have come from idle time in the afternoons just walking or hiking around our area. This has also reduced my stress levels and helped me to improve my sense of well being.

Each and every year has provided new challenges we have never experienced before, but we approach these with a sense of levity, humility, optimism, faith and courage, knowing we have come so far and yet have even further to go. Problems are there to teach us a lesson and if we embrace them, we can grow.

The things we fear the most almost never happen. If you take reasonable action, managed risk and have courage and conviction in your plans, dreams and aspirations, anything is possible.

Deleting social media: LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc has freed up so much cognitive cycles and reduced my anxiety while increasing my satisfaction with life. I didn’t realize how I addicted I was to those platforms till I stopped using them. I feel like I regained my power and so much more time. I use that time to talk to friends, make new goals and enjoy life in the real world.

Having a plan and purpose definitely the optimal way to go, but even if you don’t know what you will do, have faith that you will find it. Most people in this sub are imaginative, intuitive and smart. Trust that like everything else, you will figure it out. Some of my happiest FIREd friends have little or no plans and they are okay.  
  
No AI was used in any of this post and these are my own earnest thoughts! That’s it for now. Hopefully this is helpful to someone. Life is short, but I’m happy to answer any friendly questions or comments :)

1111 Days since FIRE,  Retired @45

So much fear these day about how “AI is taking over CS” and that “vibe coding is replacing programmers.”

I just saw a whole post where a guy was proudly talking about how he spent a whole year vibe coding a video game and wanted to hear others’ opinions. Do you know what the game was? A basic one-screen blackjack game, the one with a billion youtube tutorials. I expected the comments to be flaming him for it taking him a year to make that slop especially through vibe coding, but no, the other vibe coders were acting like he just made GTA 7. 

And this other post, where some guy with a M.S. in computer science admitting that he doesn’t know how to code at all and just vibe codes, asking how employable he is in the field. Comment section once again filled with ignorant vibe coders saying he’ll be fine. Newsflash, it’ll become very apparent to any superior he has that he doesn’t know shit and they can probably find an undergrad intern to do his job better than him. 

Those were just two random ones that I saw today. Every day there’s posts with the most brainrotted stupid takes and even stupider people in the comments. It’s someone posting about their garbage app complaining about why it isn’t working properly and it’s always for the dumbest reasons. 

I remember actually having to read through c++ textbooks, doing exams by hand, having to shift through stack overflow just to find one random block of code that’s kind of similar to what I need. Very soon, employers are gonna start realizing that vibe coders are really just monkeys with a toolbox, get very little done in a lot of time and their produced work is slop. 

EDIT: 

Some of you think that r/vibecoding is mostly comprised of non-compsci majors/professionals. I’m currently TA’ing undergrad students while getting a MS in applied math, trust me, 99% of sophmore/junior level students are just using chatgpt. 

And the professors have given up. They know that they can’t stop students from using it, because college admin encourages it, because the employment market has made it a given meta. 

I consistently read work that was clearly screenshotted into claude and copy/pasted. Professors know and are just there for the check now because the spirit of CS education is currently dead. Out of the 50ish students I TA, maybe 10 of them have ever even read a CS textbook. The curves on the weekly quizzes I grade are insane because the top performers are maybe getting 50% of the questions right (multiple choice questions with one pseudo question btw.) 

Their only real struggle is surviving the math requirements, but they’re really only getting an A.S. level of math knowledge without actively applying it to technology. 

CS professors are essentially just working data-entry jobs now for canvas. They aren’t teaching. And it’s hurting their passion. 

Scrolling through r/vibecoding gives me hope

Every time AI comes up, somebody shows up claiming software engineering is basically over.

Maybe I'm missing something, but that hasn't matched my experience at all.

I'm a backend dev at a boring non-tech company. We use Copilot, internal AI tools, all of it. The biggest change is that I spend less time writing annoying boilerplate and more time reviewing it.

What hasn't changed? Pretty much everything that actually stresses me out.

Nobody has built an AI that can sit through a meeting where three stakeholders all want different things. It doesn't magically know why a service is failing at 2 a.m. It doesn't explain why some random piece of business logic exists because a client complained in 2017 and nobody documented it.

I got laid off last year and completely freaked out. I had LinkedIn open all day, ten tabs of job postings, random notes everywhere, chatgpt running in another window. I spent way too much time obsessing over my resume too.

I remember going through old projects, rewriting bullets, even throwing them into resume worded trying to figure out why I wasn't getting traction. Looking back, I think I was just anxious and trying to feel in control of something.

The thing that worries me isn't AI replacing mid-level or senior engineers. It's companies deciding they can hire fewer juniors because AI supposedly fills the gap.

Most places I've worked can barely untangle their existing systems. Half the job is figuring out why things were built the way they were in the first place.

Maybe that's why the "AI will replace all devs" takes always feel disconnected from reality to me. They sound like someone built a to-do app and decided that's the whole profession.

If you’ve never been oncall for a real system, stop saying "AI will delete all SWE jobs"

I'm not high earner.  I'd say more like a little above average, but I'm really frugal and love investing.  Now mostly due to the stock market, I have enough to quit working.  I think if I told people I have 1 million plus to live off of investments, they would be surprised.  Although everyone that knows me knows I've never had money problems, and that I don't spend a lot.

Update:  so I’m shocked how many people on here hide their early retirement.  I was under the impression that most would celebrate and brag about it.  Just like with a traditional retirement except this one should be even more special.

How surprised are most people that you have enough money to FIRE?

After 4 years in SWE I finally landed a "dream" job: awesome colleagues, great comp, shipped things that I really liked.  
I wanted to relocate to EU for a long time and finally got the opportunity to do so. 8 month in with this job and I was preparing documents, waiting for my visa appointment.  
Then, on a Wednesday night I get a message from HR: "I set up a call with the CEO in 5 minutes, can you join?". On this call they told me that the funding round wasn’t successful and they are laying off 30% of the company, me included.  
Well, shit. Had to cancel my visa appointment and I’m currently trying to negotiate some money back from the company that helped me with relocation.   
Good luck to me and everyone else who is in a similar situation with the current state of the job market.

Laid off in the middle of relocation

I'm 43 and had a meeting with a fidelity financial planner. I thought I was doing somewhat ok with saving for retirement (350k in a rollover Roth from previous employer's 401k, and 10k in my current 401k). I contribute 15% to my 401k - my salary is now $140k. I was making roughly 100k-120k previously. The fidelity retirement website predicted that I'd have approx 1.5 million if I retired at 65 but that I'd deplete my savings before I reach 90 years old (if I live that long). I left the meeting feeling defeated - but also wondering how accurate the Fidelity predictions are. Has anyone had a similar experience or any input would be greatly appreciated!

Meeting with Fidelity Financial Planner

I am 19 and been working while in college and I’ve got like 19 grand saved my only bills are $200 a month to my parents to stay with them. I just applied to nursing school so hopefully I start that in the fall. I’ve been investing and just started a Roth IRA so I guess my question is, is it so bad to spend some money on my truck to make it cooler to me and have some self enjoyment especially this summer? Not to pat myself on the back but I’ve been doing really good like barely spending. Also I will be working the rest of summer and make a decision to keep working or just focus on nursing school once I get in. 

Thank you

Is it dumb to throw some money at my truck

**Before:**
I was 23, 24, and 25 earning 85K and 30k with a part time job. I bought a house. My total savings was $185K and the house was a new construction at $225K. I was and still am fully self supporting without parental assistance. 

**Then:**
 I was 26. Lost my house trying to help a 40 year old family member. Lost all of my money helping that family member with their court cases. Then I got sacked in a mass layoff and had to move twice, so I also lost my side job. Family member won a substantial amount of money shortly after and left the country, leaving me to pick up the collateral damage. I was young and impressionable, looking back they certainly took advantage of me. We no longer speak.

**Now:** 
27. Filed for CH7 bankruptcy, attorney helped me keep the remaining 35K and my car. Now I'm scraping by with 45K at a call center. I can't find another job paying 85K. 

I am so defeated. I lost so much trying to help my terrible family and really struggling to see the light at the end. I am posting today because I have just learned they intend to come back to the USA because they still need to wrap things up in the courts and I am so exhausted. I lost everything.

How do I get back on track?

I just had my 1 on 1 with my bosses. We usually have yearly 1 on 1s about performance and honestly my performance was not great. It was below average. 

I don’t think I’m particularly bad at my job but I am bad at office politics. I was pretty closed off and didn’t talk to a lot of people. It is also my first job ever and during that time, I was just recovering from major depression. 

In the beginning, I did tell them that my intention was to work for 2 years and then I’ll see how that goes. It’s already almost 2 years in and that’s when they basically told me to quit and that I’m not a good fit for the company. Throughout the whole conversation, I just felt talked down to, belittled and a ton of negativity. 

The thing is, I work in the public sector so it’s impossible to fire me. The only way to truly do so is to do a PIP or something. 

I really do want to quit now but if I quit now, I won’t get my bonus payout (2 months pay). I’ve gotta wait for another 6 weeks to quit in order to get my bonus. 

But it just feels so tough to work in such a toxic environment. I am planning on further studies after getting my bonus payout. 

How do I survive my toxic work environment and deal with the comments of me being a bad fit for the company and them telling me to quit my job despite all the hard work and sacrifices I’ve made for the job? 

Boss is pressuring me to quit my job before bonus payout. Should I quit before or after?

I'm starting to think that I may need to let go of the idea of being treated fairly and focus instead on getting out of a situation that feels increasingly unhealthy for me.

What makes this difficult is that the job itself isn't objectively terrible. The work-life balance is actually quite good. If you're able to stay under the radar, read the room, and fit into the culture, it's probably a great place to work.

That's why I feel so conflicted.

Part of me feels emotionally exhausted from months of pressure, criticism, and self-doubt. Another part of me worries that walking away means giving up something valuable.

I also wonder whether past experiences with workplace bullying have made me more sensitive to situations like this. Sometimes I genuinely can't tell whether I'm accurately assessing what's happening or viewing it through the lens of old wounds.

If I do leave, I'm thinking about taking 2–3 months before jumping into another role.

During that time, I'd probably travel, swim, take dance classes, write, spend time with my long-distance boyfriend, and maybe even try living somewhere with a lower cost of living for a while.

At the same time, I'm conscious that the job market isn't easy, and with AI changing so many industries, I don't want to stay out of work for too long either.

For those who were pushed out, laid off, or left a workplace that wasn't right for them:

* What did you do during your first few months away?
* How did you balance recovery with staying employable?
* How long did it take before you felt like yourself again?
* Looking back, did leaving turn out to be one of the best things that happened to you?

I'd genuinely love to hear your experiences.

Has anyone been pushed out of a job and later realized it was a blessing in disguise?

I do not own the fund, and am not a huge fan of the guy. Just want a devil's advocate. I guess the idea here is that he's a "brilliant" investor. But clearly he's underperformed a simple index. Why would any one invest in any of his funds? Please enlighten me. Thank you!

What's the most charitable explanation for why Bill Ackman has significantly underperformed the S&P500 in his fund PSHZF?

Why do companies think pizza elevates employee morale?

I'm 26 and live in a HCOL area, so I'm on a very tight budget. I've been at my current job for 3 years now and haven't started a 401k yet, which definitely feels like something I need to do to plan for the future (or should have done already at this point). The problem is that right now I'm already only able to save $200-300 per month after bills and expenses. My employer requires me to put at least 5% in to get the match (4%), which would come out to about $230 per month. 

This means that if I start contributing to the 401k each month, I would be putting basically all of my savings into that and not contributing anything to my current savings. I know that employer match is free extra money and it's stupid not to take advantage of it, but at the same time the idea of not saving anything more for current/upcoming expenses and putting all of my savings towards something I can't access for 30 years makes me nervous. 

If it's helpful, I make 60k per year, have about 30k in savings right now, and I've been with my current employer for 3 years so a 401k would be 40% vested currently (will become 60% if I stay at this job until November). Single and no kids to worry about. First time posting in this sub so happy to provide more information if I missed anything important! Thank you in advance for any thoughts/advice on this. 

Is opening a 401k worth it if I don't make that much and can't save anything else?

I've lived off of SSDI for the past 3 years, unemployed. My work history is awful, honestly. I've been fired, a lot. I've quit 2 jobs, too.

&#x200B;

I've worked in retail, as a cashier and stockboy...didn't really enjoy it, felt meaningless to me. Food service is just a no-go. It's stressful, and whenever I get into a food rush I just freeze. I did a year of casino dealing in 2019. I was just getting decent at it when I had to quit due to disability. Tried getting back into it recently but had my job offer rescinded at the last second for a dumb reason, but I digress.

&#x200B;

I found a way to attend college full-time for basically nothing using federal and state grants. I have 2 years of college under my belt from 10 years ago, and I just want to start with an associates degree in computer information systems, and possibly earn a bachelor's from there, or take a cybersecurity course my caseworker recommended to me.

&#x200B;

But practically everyone in my life - my mom, stepfather, my cousin, my friend in the tech industry, and my partner - say that a degree is useless if I don't know how to work effectively. 

&#x200B;

I'm just wondering, what part-time jobs would you recommend for someone who can't drive, can't see out of one eye, and has a shoddy work history? I tried applying for a local bank teller position a couple years ago. Was their second choice after the interview. 

&#x200B;

Keep in mind, I'm living off of about $9 an hour from SSDI and EBT. If I make more than $10.50/hr full-time, I risk losing my benefits after a year. I could make more hourly part-time, I suppose...

&#x200B;

I'd like to say I'm alright with computers, math, etc. I want a job where I can use my mind instead of my body, given the latter is...well, not the best.

&#x200B;

Thank you in advance for any useful advice or support. 

29M, disabled. Everyone in my life says I won't know how to work effectively even if I obtain my degree in computer information systems. What part-time jobs could I do?

I’m hoping to get a gut check on whether my parents can comfortably retire. My dad is 70 and already retired. My mom is 63 and plans to keep working until she reaches full social security age. They have no debt and their home is paid off. They live a very simple lifestyle: no expensive vacations, no luxury spending, and they have always driven older vehicles.



**Monthly Income:** $4,600/month (pre-tax)

* Dad’s Social Security: $2,600/month
* Mom’s: $1,400/month
* Roommate: $600/month



**Retirement:** $360,000

* 401(k)/retirement investments: $160,000
* Expected future inheritance is approximately $200,000 (within the next 1-3 years)



**Current expenses:** $4,500/month (on average over the last 3–4 months)

* This includes property taxes and insurance
* We may be able to help them reduce this somewhat…but they have already been trying to cut expenses so there may not be much left to cut



There is also a family cabin they inherited. They want to keep it and rent it out on Airbnb to pay for expenses, taxes, insurance, and maintenance. My siblings and I are willing to help run it and to cover any expense shortfalls if it’s not fully profitable. If needed, we could sell this cabin to use in support of their retirement ($300,000 value). My parents are strongly opposed to selling it. My siblings and I don’t want to spend money and time on the cabin if they will need to sell it to pay for their retirement in the near future anyway. 

It looks like they are roughly breaking even but this doesn’t factor in future healthcare costs, inflation, or significant costs, like housing maintenance or buying another car... Does anyone have a rough idea on how they are looking? 



Can my Parents Retire Comfortably?

It's frustrating to be a SWE in the current times.

&#x200B;

The speed at which these AI machines spit out code is unmatched. And it takes a lot of time to understand and review. I could only imagine a fresher taking all this load without even knowing the basics. It's like you are reading a PHD level book about cohesive designs while you still don't know how these individual components work. 

&#x200B;

Now couple this with the expectation that a developer will be 10X more productive and the deadlines will be 10th of its original size. You are creating an environment where no one understands what is going on and everyone trusts on these AI machines until it becomes mammoth and hard to manage by a small team at some point. 

&#x200B;

My take is that, till the time these AI machines are not fully autonomous your productivity will get accelerated but not to a point these people think it will. Unless you completely remove the human from the loop and just write prompts without giving bata eye on what is going on under the hood.

Now, we all know the AI does not write machine codes. It still writes human readable high level code. And if it's human readable then let the human readable and learn at their own pace. Spitting out tokens at high probability just cause the AI got trained on humungous data doesn't mean what it does is 100 percent accurate. And it can't make mistakes. 

&#x200B;

So my humble requests you either remove the humans entirely from the loop and be done with it. Cause I ffs I am done with this industry or trust the humans and let them do the job at their own pace. 

It's frustrating to be a SWE in the current times.

For many Americans, the math of homeownership doesn’t add up any more.

WSJ - See How Owning a Home Is Getting More Expensive in Every Way

Looking for advice on work travel, specifically advice on what I should do.

I’ve recently started a role that has me travel much more frequently than I’m used to. Our internal policy is booking Economy if you’re flight is under 5H and you are allowed to book Premium Economy if travel is above 5H.

I’m flying from Toronto to the UK. And while it’s in policy, the Premium flight is roughly $2000 more (over 2x) what the most basic Economy fare comes out to. 

I totally understand I’d be well within policy, but would it look terrible on me going with a $3500 Premium Economy flight rather than a $1600 Economy flight? 

Our company uses Navan and I can definitely attest to the fact that the Premium Economy flight is compliant.

Am I weird to be worried about such a thing? Is it best practice to go with the smaller fare? Any insight and advice would be appreciated. A little lost as I’m new to this.

Should I avoid flying Premium Economy for work if it’s significantly more expensive?

Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley take a deep dive into Copa Holdings — the Panama-based hub-and-spoke airline whose investment case now turns on two of the most debated questions in the stock today: whether Copa is a structural exception to the airline curse — protected by a geography no rival can copy and a cost base only a handful of carriers in the world can match — or whether even the best airline in the Americas eventually gets pulled into the same gravity that has destroyed value for nearly every other carrier. Some investors believe Copa is a structural exception the market consistently underprices because it's lumped in with the broader sector, with a Panama hub at the geographic center of the hemisphere that lets it serve 85 destinations using nothing but single-aisle 737s, a sub-6¢ ex-fuel cost base only Ryanair, Wizz Air, and a couple of others can match, a 99.8% completion rate that turns the "missed flight" tax hammering other carriers into one of Copa's structural cost advantages, and a 38-year CEO who has refused to expand into Europe or chase growth at any price. Join Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley as they work through whether Copa's hub-and-spoke economics are genuinely uncopiable or just holding off the gravity that has eventually captured nearly every other airline, examine what Copa's structural advantages actually look like in 2026 versus the "all airlines destroy capital" narrative the market still anchors to, and assess whether Copa Holdings deserves a spot in The Intrinsic Value Portfolio.
