  • I was typing up a long reply basically saying this, but you summed it up. In most cases, it’s pure nonsense. Unless you’re actively sharing legitimate trade secrets that you were especially privy to, which could reasonably tank the company’s position or competitive advantage based on your actions, it’s trash talk. Change roles to your biggest competitor and tell your CEO/president to eat a side of juicy cockroaches alongside their breakfast of profits while your new employer values your particularly meaningful “suggestions”.







  • What I usually tell people is “set a budget”. You can always fall in to the trap of $20 more here, $40 more there…etc and explode your budget.

    If you can keep moving the needle, you can keep dumping more into better components in different areas.

    Use PCPartPicker to make sure everything is compatible, check the price history to see if there’s a similar component available for cheaper or if you’re getting a good value, and make decisions on what is necessary. Also, pick a date. You can hang around for MONTHS waiting on a certain part to hit a price drop.
