One language you wish you could speak fluently?

@_andrewthecoder @jeftovic Maybe automate the outbound

@jeftovic That's what I have been doing for the last decade. And to honest, I'm tired. Maybe even a little lazy. I just want a job now. Do the work without enduring the stress.

I have a hard time believing that I am just unhireable. But I have an even harder time believing that my 25 years of experience is somehow negated by the format of my resume. But, after over 2,000 applications, I am not sure what else to think. And, out of the dozens of emails (perhaps over 100) to hiring managers with inquiries about what might be happening, I have received ZERO response. I have done some reverse engineering of some popular ATS systems and found some interesting trends; things like translating words like "founder" and "freelancer" to "unemployed", as one example (though, admittedly, the end user of the ATS is responsible for such translations). So, now add to everything else, I am being punished for running successful businesses for over a decade. Kind of at the end of my rope here. I have to start thinking about what retirement looks like, and I am just plain NOT HIREABLE. Career change at this point doesn't seem likely. I have literally never done anything professionally other than write software (at least, not since college anyway). This is actually going to start affecting my way of life, my standard of living, not to mention the people that count on me to provide. Please don't take this as anything more than venting. I am not blaming anyone, and I am not looking for sympathy. I know a lot of you are experiencing a very similar situation!

@marioliveirain Lonely Planet guides and maps

Pergunta genuína: antes da internet e dos celulares, as pessoas viajavam como? Tipo, sou turista, cheguei aqui nesse país, vou para onde? Vou fazer o quê? Devia ser muito difícil. Tenho tantas perguntas.

@hispanicnomad Considering now, unsure if I go now before 183 days in Spain or next year.

@Supaboss_com Beautiful Have you ever thought of relocating?

Say you make €120k a year fully remote but have to live in Europe Where do you live?

@iamalexbos @hispanicnomad IFICI is for IRS only, you still pay SS

@Supaboss_com @hispanicnomad Yea, only hope is to qualify for IFICI

@Ravenismeee No, just the things that you still want to do.

When people get in their 50s and 60s and up, do you start thinking about how many years you have left? I’m curious

@sivers If you can, plant fruit trees and have chickens.

Since we moved from city to rural land, to a house where the bathroom and kitchen are outside, my boy observed: “This year there are way more full moons.”

@WallStreetMav Taxes, tax 20% max.

Can anyone tell us exactly when everything in society just started a severe downward trend? Was there something we could have done differently?

@martinvars And taxes, if you left with no money to raise kids you won't have them... The tax deductions for 2 kids is just 5k and that is nowhere close to what you spend with them Should be 10k per child

España no tiene sólo un problema de natalidad. Tiene un problema de adultez confiscada. La gente joven no deja de tener hijos porque haya fallado el mercado. Deja de tener hijos porque el Estado ha impedido que el mercado funcione donde más importa: vivienda, salarios, ahorro y creación de empresas. La vivienda es el caso más claro. En España falta oferta. Se construye poco, se licencia lento, se regula demasiado, se amenaza al propietario con okupas, se interviene el alquiler y se castiga al inversor. Luego llega una demanda enorme: españoles que quieren independizarse, extranjeros que vienen a vivir, estudiantes, turistas, nómadas digitales, inmigración masiva. ¿Qué hace el mercado cuando la oferta está artificialmente limitada y la demanda sube? Sube el precio. Eso no es un fallo del mercado. Es el mercado gritando que los políticos han bloqueado la oferta. Las casas donde podrían vivir jóvenes españoles formando familias ahora compiten por los mismos metros cuadrados con toda la demanda nueva. No culpo al extranjero ni al inmigrante: responden a incentivos. Culpo a los políticos que abren demanda sin liberar oferta, y después fingen sorpresa cuando el alquiler se come medio sueldo. Al mismo tiempo, la inmigración masiva aumenta la oferta de trabajo en sectores de baja y media cualificación. Si entran muchas personas dispuestas a trabajar por menos, los salarios de entrada se deprimen. Si sube la oferta laboral y no sube al mismo ritmo la demanda de trabajo productivo, el precio del trabajo baja. ¿Y por qué no sube más la demanda de trabajo? Porque España expulsa a quienes la crean. España castiga al exitoso con IRPF alto, sociedades, dividendos, cotizaciones, patrimonio, y el mal llamado impuesto de solidaridad. España es el único país de la UE que todavía insiste en gravar el patrimonio neto como si ahorrar, invertir y crear valor fuera una sospecha moral. El mensaje al empresario, al inversor y al profesional de alto rendimiento es claro: si te va muy bien, vete. Y cuando se van los ricos no se va sólo “gente con dinero”. Se van clientes, inversores, fundadores, oficinas, restaurantes llenos, obras, empleadas del hogar, abogados, médicos privados, startups, proyectos, consumo, capital riesgo y demanda de trabajo. Se van los que convierten talento en empleo. Entonces España queda atrapada en una pinza: más demanda de vivienda, menos oferta de vivienda; más oferta de trabajadores, menos demanda empresarial de alto valor; más impuestos, menos capital; más Estado, menos futuro. El resultado cultural es tristísimo: la juventud se alarga hasta los 35 o 40. Los jóvenes viven con sus padres, no acumulan ahorro, no comprancasa, no tienen estabilidad, no se casan, no tienen hijos. Siguen siendo hijos cuando biológicamente deberían estar siendo padres. España no necesita otro ministerio de natalidad ni otro cheque bebé. Necesita dejar de destruir las condiciones materiales de la vida adulta: vivienda abundante, impuestos bajos, salarios altos por productividad, libertad para construir, seguridad jurídica para invertir, empresas quecrezcan y jóvenes que puedan quedarse con el fruto de su trabajo. La natalidad no se arregla subsidiando cunas. Se arregla devolviendo futuro.

@iamalexbos @hispanicnomad Too expensive now and the Social Security at almost 22% is hard + IRS.

@hispanicnomad Lisbon or Valencia

@levelsio @miguelgbandeira Did you leave Portugal?

@miguelgbandeira The taxes are too high to get rich here, if you're already rich it's okay here

Portugal isn't cheap anymore groceries cost almost the same as other european countries rent is more expensive than a lot of other big cities the only thing we have going for us? good weather and great food that's it

@claudeai Nope! Preferred the last one.

We've redesigned Claude Code on desktop. You can now run multiple Claude sessions side by side from one window, with a new sidebar to manage them all.

@xoaanya You will get a Minimum Basic Income, this is what some AI companies are proposing already.

Everyone says AI will replace most jobs. But if there are no jobs, there’s no income. No income means no spending. So how does the economy even function? What am I missing?

@KarolineGosling Spain

What country, in your opinion, is failing most in Europe? For me, it is Germany. We have a large population, history, industry, technology. But we are wasting it on things that are hurting us so much Germany could be the greatest country, but we have lost the lead in Europe

@RadicalFalk this is happening everywhere across Europe

I'm leaving Germany | Brutally Honest Review

@levelsio same for all other european countries tbh

Amazing summary of what went wrong in Germany

@VadimStrizheus A marketer who knows how to Claude!

A marketer who knows how to code is the most valuable person in this economy.

@TTrimoreau Opus

Founders, what do you prefer? -Codex -Gemini -Opus I’m Opus every day. Did any of you switch after the news yesterday?

@ohabryka Claude code inside VS Code is the solution

Ok, can someone explain to me why people use Claude Code instead of Cursor? I get obvious productivity boosts from having my IDE integrated with my AI tooling, and lose that in Claude Code, but everyone keeps raving on about how great Claude Code is, so what am I missing?
