Comment Re:Sequential is the way to go. (Score 1) 35

I go even further. I have one per month at most. I renew one when I want to watch something and then immediately cancel it. It will prompt me if I go to watch something and its expired. I find some months I don't even a subscription... except for YouTube premium, but that's because YouTube ads are so bad and you get YouTube music.

Comment SpiceJet is terrible (Score 1) 8

I lived in India for several years, and SpiceJet is the worst airline in the world.

I took them for two short-haul flights in India and never again! SpiceJet makes Spirit Airlines look like Emirates Air in comparison!

I only flew two times on SpiceJet, but both flights were delayed more than 30 minutes.

They have a 2.4/10 rating.

Comment Re:Work ethic issues. (Score 2) 87

I had all 7 managers and 9 architects sign a written petition at IBM Cloud Classic to not lay me off in September 2024 until December 2024, after the major guzzle migration project I was the architect and lead of was deployed, as they felt the project would quickly fail and they'd lose major billion-dollar contracts due to the guzzle vulnerabilities.

CEO Arvind rejected the plea. I was laid off for being more than 50 miles from an IBM office. I had started during COVID-19 and had a written and approved 100% telecommute permission enacted in 2022.

The guzzle project failed. In January, a major Big 5 bank pulled their servers off citing guzzle v4 security concerns. Then the mass layoffs started in March and my then-team of 3 shrunk to a team of 2 and more projects are at risk. From 6 devs in 2023 to 2 devs in 2025...

Comment Re: Three days in the office (Score 1) 87

Since 2022, I have been living primarily in the Middle East (Egypt and Dubai) and my workday for American corps starts at 7 PM and ends at 1-2 AM.

It is absolutely fantastic!

Every weekend is a three day weekend (end work around midnight Friday night, start work Monday at 7 PM).
Every day I have tons of time to do whatever I want.
