It is. I don't see many comments addressing his question, just a bunch of posts about how he can't manage his finances without really having much context. There's even a comment about how he needs a new wife, for fuck's sake. We don't even know he's a he, right?

Perhaps he has his savings tied up in a 401k, IRA, and college funds for his kids. Perhaps he's purchased investment properties. Perhaps he's trying to accelerate his retirement. There are a number of valid reasons why he could have three months cash flow. Could be he's bad with his money too, who knows.

First, ignore the people who just want to shit all over you for making more money than them. They don't know anything about your situation and aren't qualified to comment. Savings and cash flow are two entirely different things, as I'm sure you know.

I've been in networking for about 20 years. I don't have a CCIE, but I've passed the written three times and sat for the lab once (I took a sales path instead). I have intimate knowledge of CCIE compensation. Starting level for a CCIE is around $135K, depending on where you live and what exactly you're doing. I believe there are salary surveys published every few years on this topic.

You will absolutely need extensive experience to become a network architect, though. The certifications would not be enough. Obtaining a CCIE is strenuous and would most likely require those years of experience anyway. You can do it, but it will take time and you will take a pay cut while you build your portfolio. Be aware, though, that networking is not immune to the outsourcing issues you're seeing in software.

As career changes go, networking is not a bad choice, but it won't be an immediate lateral move in terms of comp.

The cut scenes when you switch characters to Trevor were all pretty funny. The scene with Wade's cousin in pink pajamas in particular had me laughing out loud.

Wade also has a bunch of humorous one-liners he says, after he's been permanently located within a certain establishment.

Sure, this guy.

But the overwhelming majority of us can readily differentiate between reality and fantasy.

Totally agreed. Gategate needs to stop now.

That's not the Peter Principal, that's... something else.

The Peter Principal is commonly misunderstood.

TFA is accurate but your restatement of it isn't quite right.

You have the skills to do a good job, and you get promoted. That keeps happening until, eventually, you are promoted to a level where your skills aren't quite good enough to meet the requirements. That's where your career plateaus.

Who would think to test for something like that? Is tattoo compatibility even a thing? I guess it is now.

Apple should offer refunds and... yeah, that's probably pretty much it.

This has been Cisco's model in some cases. Funding a startup, letting them develop a product on their own, and then pulling them back in is how they got their server and unified fabric products off the ground.

It's also possible, and possibly more likely, that the devs simply abandoned the project because they couldn't or didn't want to put any more time into it. There's literally zero information about why they pulled the plug.

The devs of both the forks referenced in TFS have said the TC source contains a lot of problematic code. CypherShed has said they think the NCC audit wasn't detailed enough and was too high level to uncover all the issues.

The parent can't even set their own PIN code. For security they pick four random numbers that change every time. Then they just ask you to punch in the numerals for something like "one eight seven four" and you put in "1874". Unless your kid is really young or really dumb, there's no point.

The author actually talks about installing stuff on a live circuit while they explain how the system is terrible and doesn't work.

If you don't know enough to kill the circuit at the breaker before you start stripping wires, you are not only unqualified to do the work, you are risking injury up to and including death.

It's effective. They're still my first recommendation to friends and family even though I've moved to a competitor (needed Linux support).

The management UI.

Yes, and I was attempting to explain that Inbox doesn't work that way at all.
