And there is one thing the article is not mentioning: if you own a house, there is a fictional “rent” income on your own property, which is “income” on to of your real salary income and gets taxed… there were many approaches to get rid of the law, but it never went through.
Also, in the last years the interest rates were crazy low for loans in Switzerland. 0.6% (!!) you read right was normal. It changed recently as the Swiss national bank increased its the reference interest rate to about 2.5% - still low compared to other countries. Which means, if you have 1m in load it meant 1m0.006 =6000/year of interest rate! Today 1m0.025=25000/year
I think you should do it! Follow your passion!
I see all the arguments of people say “nah” but I think this career switch will bring you joy and happiness. Also, you always have the ability to go back. More likely is, that you grow into the coffee business and might end up building your own company.
Having a small espresso machine at home, I brought it to a espresso machine maintenance company. I entered the shop and I immediately felt the passion for good coffee, the craftsmanship of maintaining and fine tune coffee machines and finally make a good espresso. Pure joy to see and experience!
Good luck and have a wonderful ride!
My biggest challenge using the api so far was that the output is not reliable. Randomly from time to time it outputs notes and comments even tough I asked to only reply in a code block. Also if I rerun exactly the same promt, it can output something completely different (different content is fine, but I teach chatgpt to follow a structure - it works in 90% of the cases just fine). I’m using 3.5 not 4.
The api can be down regularly. This is annoying especially if you have longer conversations. I had a hard time to resume a conversation. I usually restart the whole process.
However, the overall capabilities are mind blowing. The system surprises me very often.
Today marks a historic moment in web development. No, this isn’t another Vite plugin or a beta for something that was already released six months ago. It’s bigger. It’s bolder. It’s… consolidation.
