So what?

Finally, some politicians had some sense.

Unfortunately, some of them is going to abuse that.

But that what politics is - only trade-offs, no perfect decisions. Only brain ded radicals of all sides think there are simple solutions.

It’s wiser to invest in independence of any external circumstances. To get some valuable skill, for example. To be flexible enough to relocate.

Also you don’t go to another country for a “better living standards”.

You go there to get out of your comfort zone, to grind, to prove yourself, to learn etc. unless you’re already rich you’re going to struggle in one way or another for a while. Only your kids born there will be able truly and fully enjoy all the “standards”. That’s the brutal truth.

Why not?

Something about the grass being greener on the other side.

Many of the former colonial superpowers collapsed but never found their way back up again. The core problem might not be fixed.

But people still evaluate them as if they own half the world. In terms of GDP (per capita), quality of life, healthcare, they're not much better than the countries they once colonized.

Then again, Turkey is one of those countries, so OP might have better luck elsewhere.

Thanks for your input! I think I overvalued the prospect of Portugal from the start. I see now that it’s an ideal place for wealthy Western retirees who want to enjoy the weather, beaches, and EU mobility. For someone like me who isn't poor but isn't wealthy either it doesn't offer much in terms of career growth.Even for the Portuguese themselves.

When you say "better luck elsewhere" I assume you mean both Portugal and Turkey?

Because as a foreigner you start from scratch, no social network, no connections, no understanding of culture, mentality etc. You know, basic stuff, obviously.

I got same results in few minutes and cents that I got from a lawyer in few days and thousand dollars.

Surely you realize that the same result does not mean that the process leading to the conclusion was the same.

Even if the processes were identical, using an LLM arguably likely broke any privilege and confidentiality protections you might previously have enjoyed. See, e.g., United States v. Heppner (S.D.N.Y.) (recent case of first impression).

So there's that.

I was also going to comment separately that LLMs have been great to identify opposing counsel whom I suspected of not litigating in good faith / actually reading the cases and applying them. Now the confabulated cases are proof positive!

I didn’t understand half of your comment and guess what - I don’t care.

As long as it is not a privacy sensitive, high stakes or human factor related matter, I choose LLM any time of day.

All the bullshit lawyers made up to protect their own job I deeply can not care less about.

Fortunately 1P6 with one time purchase still works. I don't care about this company since then.

The only good thing left of microsoft is Typescript language. That’s it.

You just do what you are supposed to do, learn, grow.

There’s nothing you can or should explicitly do about imposter syndrome feeling per se.

But what you describe doesn’t sound like this. So it’s a good move to first identify the problem correctly with help of others.

Unfortunately only Ruby on Rails world seems to systematically care about devx and infra friction. Others just got used to throwing more money and people on it.

> unless you are good at marketing.

Sorry to (not)disappoint, but it was _always_ like this.

If you analyze closely, every single solopreneurial success is based first and foremost on a successful marketing/sales. Whether by luck, hard work or being in the right place at the right time. The dev part and the product is never a main dish.
