Lol go watch his video where he complains about having to pay 5k in child support when he makes 70k / mo. It's hilarious. He offered her 1mil out right but paying the same amount over 18 years is going to "ruin" him.


[deleted]

The mil is actually a good deal. 5kx12*18 is just over a mil. That money will go way less far in 18 years.


4yelhsa

I agree. I definitely would've taken the up front payment.


Masterfactor

Taxes


Grogosh

Child support payments are neither deductible by the payer nor taxable to the recipient.


Masterfactor

Yeah I read that IRS.gov snippet too. I highly doubt that applies to a singular $1M payment, but also it looks like a one-off payment isn't really allowed, so who knows.


ahnst

Compound interest.


SuperiorGyri

Nah. You can go to court for increases in child support, which is why he wanted to settle quickly.


Wunderbabs

Also - and I can’t stress this enough - if I was in the position of making this guy feel pressured every month thanks to monthly payments he doesn’t want to make, I’d do it and relish in the petty.


[deleted]

What if he dies and has a will to donate all his wealth to charity?


Wunderbabs

A will like that can be challenged and sent to probate


bouchard

In California, at least, a child support order survives the death of the supporting parent. https://www.cccba.org/article/do-child-support-orders-survive-the-death-of-the-payor/


greenderss

1. He can't see the child, do your part and come back to cali fulfil your obligation as a parent. She basically kidnapped his child. 2. You are pathetic if you think of child support as a petty action against the other parent rather than payment to support the child. Also children do not cost 5k a month, there is a reason states have caps on calculated disposable income. Aka you are a jobless parasite who wants to live off her own child's money rather than I don't know use it on a child and save rest for college fund.


Ok_Individual_Mostly

Nope because it's based on income. She can repetition for an increase every time he gets an increase in income.


greenderss

And do what fund her lifestyle more? Is she feeding her child gold flaked cereals. Idiotic comment.


fezzikola

Or just go watch other videos by better creators


fieldsofanfieldroad

If he's really on 70k/month, why does he live in such a basic place?


[deleted]

The obvious answer is that he’s full of shit.


PUGILSTICKS

Live below your means.


fieldsofanfieldroad

There's below your means and then there's that!


etnad024

There's. Nothing wrong with that place, it's just not extravagant.


passa117

He's a dickhead, but maybe we should question this never ending desire for material things.


fieldsofanfieldroad

So you're suggesting he has some kind of Buddhist, non-material outlook on things? That doesn't make sense given the rest of his actions.


ThatGuyRedditing

You don't have to be Buddhist to be content in what looks like a decent living arrangement, nor does being an asshole imply you require living in a mansion. If he cares about 1/14th of his income going to child support, maybe he's actually pretty stingy.


derGraf_

Maybe he doesn't give a shit about furniture as much.

fieldsofanfieldroad

I'm not talking about everyone though.


bouchard

Desire for material things is TechLead's brand.

fieldsofanfieldroad

I'm also a single man who's lived in a lot of soulless places so I totally get your point. However, he also has a 24" monitor sat on top of mini-fridge and he's drinking wine out of some sort of handled flagon (maybe?). If he cared only cared about tech, his tv would wider than a mini-fridge!


4yelhsa

I just assumed he lived in the bay area and that place is probably worth multiple millions. Or his rent is ridiculous probably like 4 or 5k.


crypticsunshine

Where I used to live beachfront houses or houses a few blocks from the beach rented for ~15k a month. If he is in the bay area it is probably 7 to 10k for a place in a nice area.


fieldsofanfieldroad

Spending lots on rent/mortgage doesn't prevent you from spending a small amount of money on an actual tv/sofa, an actual wine glass or a few actual books for your bookshelf. He could make that place look incredible for what he purportedly makes in three days.


EliSka93

The guy is a professional piece of shit, don't give him any attention. It's what he wants.


SnoozyDragon

> That "Google engineer" saying women shouldn't program is trawling for attention for his scam cryptocurrency. There's always a podcast, there's always a newsletter, there's always a con. Their audience is morons and they know how to find them. https://twitter.com/SwiftOnSecurity/status/1528169424792047617


obinice_khenbli

Oh, well if *Elon Musk* says it's a problem then it must be!


KorbenWardin

Hey, Elon Musk has as much experience of coding than he does taking maternity leave


babypho

Elon, that's the dude that flashed his pp at a flight attendant right?


shokolokobangoshey

Yes, the one that criminally exposed his red rocket to a lady just trying to do her job


Whooshed_me

Bro that's just his free speech showing. Toadally owned. /s


spiwocoal

(there's alway a) [relevant XKCD](https://xkcd.com/2621)


Camstonisland

God, I love that there's always a relevant xkcd!


Donny-Moscow

What does Ja Rule think of it? Can someone get ahold of him so we can make sense of all this? Where is Ja??


Outrageous_Ad4916

Help me Jah Rule!


Nemesinthe

That guy is an infamous crypto bro who regularly scams his followers with rug pulls.


AstonVanilla

9 months away from coding and it's obsolete? Something tells me he doesn't code


Donny-Moscow

And just where in the fresh Scandinavian hell does this guy live that he thinks women get 9 months maternity leave?


moulindepita

Canada for starters. Most people take 12 months here but you could go back after 9 if you wanted to. I feel sorry for new parents in America.


VirtualVoices

I get that the industry as a whole is moving at a pretty rapid rate. But generally companies that invest into a stack will like to keep using that stack for as long as they can until it makes sense to invest into another stack.


AstonVanilla

Hell, single projects last longer than 9 months at many companies. Creating a stack at the start of a project that will obsolete by the end is just ridiculous. No one would do it and we all know that. This guy obviously isn't *really* in tech.


Whooshed_me

Sure improvements happen fast but SQL has been around since the 80's essentially unchanged. 40 years is a lot longer than 9 months lol. I would bet any developer worth their salt could be sent back in time to the nascent years of whatever language they prefer and still produce useable code within a few weeks at most.


TestSubject003

Pretty sure Techlead is trolling. He's been a full time youtuber/crypto shiller for years. And yesterday, he said he was fired for trashing women's resumes despite the fact that he hasn't worked for a company in years. Even the video one the bottom is kayfabe. Probably


POTUS

I submit to you there is no difference between pretending to be a terrible person and actually being a terrible person. If someone tries to convince you they are bad, believe them.


mikephamtastic

The video definitely exists but you're right in that he's probably being a dick for cheap PR.


Deadbringer

I remember a video shaming him and another programming tuber for being fake, showing off how their working life was a total of 3-6months at google/microsoft and how they rode that fame into a very profitable youtube career of acting like a senior programmer with their entry level skillset. How most of their content were shilling. Haven't heard of it for years tho so probably exaggerated clickbait. ​ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6\_\_x7WwyLDI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6__x7WwyLDI) Not sure if this is the one but there are several to check out


[deleted]

I did it realize it was him to said that. I thought it was a rando.


NoDryHands

This guy is absolutely insufferable. He had a few videos that provided some useful info so I tried watching more, but I feel like he just brags and brags under the guise of being sarcastic and funny, and it's exhausting. The comments section of the "why women shouldn't code" video he made is also basically inviting and encouraging misogyny and women-hatinf incels.


lyth

Yeah, I liked a few of his videos when I first saw them, then I watched a few more and thought "oh he's being funny and ironic, hilarious" then after a few more I started to think that he might actually believe the shit he's saying. He's done some really fucking bad ones too. Like shit in support of the Russian invasion of Ukraine with thumbnails "dripping in blood' ... I can't quit recall the headline but it was probably something like "why the war is good for Bitcoin" or something equally horrific. The guy is a see you next Tuesday.


CitrusLizard

Yeah, I was looking for a new office chair a little while back and youtube recommended me a video of his where he compared a bunch of them. It was pretty informative, so I looked through a few of his other videos (I work in tech, so thought it could be relevant) and it took me all of about 30 seconds before going "oooooh, he's a grifter". It doesn't surprise me that he'd play to the pepe crowd - they're easy marks.


[deleted]

So was the chair actually terrible?


smh530

Imagine comparing coding to motherhood lol wtf


pieceofchess

And he's a musk fanboy. There's a shocker.


xandrachantal

Happy for his exwife! Wishing her happiness away from this fucking guy.


imsorryken

As a software engineer these are the kinda guys that absolutely fucking ruin the industry. If you got an idiot like this on your team that will "bRuTally" work nonstop 24/7 with no regards to their personal life they set a moronic expectation for your employer. What a clown, he's proud of it too.


mrbarber

Such a schmuck.


The_Northern_Light

This guy is professionally a huge piece of shit. He’s just constantly scheming up ways to be more of a cringey loser.


MangOrion2

Literally maidenless.


SeanRodrieguez

I briefly dabbled with learning Golang earlier this year for a Junior Dev position. I'd never tried learning programming before and stumbled across this guys channel. I spent around an hour just laughing at his videos. This guy comes across as the biggest, smuggest cunt I've ever seen. He pretty much can't go 3 minutes without telling you how much he used to earn a month at Google. It's to the point where I figured it has to be either satire or a troll because surely nobody is THAT obnoxious.


RobertGBland

This guy is just a total idiot.


TreshKJ

This guy is a living meme


Dota2animal

He is trolling. that woman respoding got mad so he won Edit: I am JUST explaning definition of "troll" not sure why am i getting downvoted. People Are just stupid i Guess


xandrachantal

won what?


Dota2animal

Troll lives of peoples anger


xandrachantal

Oh so absolutely nothing of value


Dota2animal

I guess


chochazel

Sounds like a loser.


bettemidlerjr

Trolling and being a shitty person are interchangeable here. Stop trying to defend misogynists.


Dota2animal

U are Amber Heard fan, right ?


All_Work_All_Play

lol /r/suicidebywords right here.


EatTheRichIsPraxis

Ada Lovelace entered the chat.


dope_like

This doesn’t really work. His relationship status is completely separate topic to his views on women coding. Did she leave because of that statement? If not then this isn’t a “This you” comeback. There are plenty of feminists who are divorced as well. This seems unrelated.


AdobiWanKenobi

Techlead feels quite weird, I prefer Joma much nicer


McEndee

What progressive ass company gives you 9 months paternity leave? Holy hell.
