Genuinely. I lost half my traffic when I migrated away from Github.
I'm not a narcissist, but coding for an empty void of an audience just hits a lot different than coding for an appreciate (or angry) mob
I'm all for fucking over US businesses, but this sub is becoming a bit mastabatory.
That's a weird looking Spanish omelette, made in the tiniest train kitchen by a chef who usually checks your tickets.
Let's not pat ourselves too hard on the back here.
Hah. It's more that I was working in a country that was weak against the pound, and that for some reason SLC charges way higher when you're working abroad.
So whatever I was earning, half would go to rent, a quarter would go to the loan (once you factored in the exchange rate), and I'd have that glorious other quarter to myself.

I hear from some people that it's just a loan that you kind of live with for the rest of your life until they decide to let you go.
Some student loan forgiveness would have been nice, but no politician seems to be floating that idea anymore, so
Yep, I'll be cautious like a hawk on that final payslip
The one the left looks pretty convincing. If you print that out a few thousand times, that's money in the bank right there
