It seems a pretty bad deal to spend 2 weeks of your spare time to read about some funky battery, then risk your life fixing it and all that for less than $3,000. Unless you enjoy doing this kind of stuff or really short on money and rich on time.
- AdmiralGinge 6y agoThe two weeks of learning about it substantially reduces the risk of death, it sounds like a reasonable approach to me.
- bluedays 6y agoIt was a calculated risk. And I was, and still am, very poor. 3,000 is basically an entire months pay for me at this point. Back then it was two months pay. I don't work as a programmer, yet (knock on wood). So paying 3k is basically out of the question.
- ficklepickle 6y agoMy fellow poor HNer! You will get there! I just landed my first well-paying gig. Keep at it and you will, too :)
- bluedays 6y agoThanks! I hope so. I just got an awesome internship. Hoping it'll turn things around for me.
