Globality’s AI-powered Smart Sourcing technology transforms the way global companies connect with the best suppliers across every service category.

A bit late in posting this - but hopefully this still stands out and resonates with a few of you!

Torakfirenze | 6 years ago | on: GoCardless launches US debit payments solution

Wow, that's awesome! I've found sometimes the "verification" process of getting access to dev-docs and API keys etc. a bit of a ball-ache in the past with some providers too.

What was the integration itself like in the end? Good docs/sensible API?

Torakfirenze | 7 years ago | on: Reddit AMA on Photopea, a free alternative to Photoshop used by 1.5M people

Disclaimer: OP changed post title from "I made x y z" to "Redditor made x y z" so my question seems to have been rendered (get it?) invalid.

This is really impressive. I will be using this in the future - great work.

Are you at all worried about Photoshop coming after you for this? I know nothing about what patents they have etc., but it _is_ very similar to PS in design and functionality.

Torakfirenze | 7 years ago | on: What can I do about climate change?

Whilst this article has some points of merit, its premise infuriates me.

Shifting the blame to the consumer and shielding corporates is toxic. The Carbon Majors report last year illustrated pretty clearly that 100 companies have been the source of more than 70% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions since 1988.

Me going vegan and not using straws isn't going to save the planet.

Torakfirenze | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: Those making over $300k/year, how did you achieve it?

Yes.

I'm a software developer in South Africa.

We work for usually around half of what our UK/US counterparts earn, despite being an exceptionally capable team out here, arguably more so than any other team worldwide. The same can be said for many other tech companies with teams out here (e.g. ask your friends who work at Amazon about their CPT office).

We have one of the highest income tax rates in the world for 'high income earners' (>42% for me, above the highest international average income, and receive absolutely no benefits (schooling, healthcare etc.) as a result, thanks to our government being rife with corruption.

We have one of the highest crime rates in the world. The cost of living of the city I live in is rapidly increasing, it's becoming unaffordable for all who are not in finance or software, or are willing to be senior in their jobs and live like college grads. We have a tumultuous economy and therefore an unstable currency, consequentially your purchasing power is virtually 0.

The highest salary I have ever seen in the field of software development/engineering in SA is USD80k p/a. I know that I will likely never make +USD100k p/a living in SA working as a software developer, and yet, getting a visa to move away is intensely difficult without a company willing to sponsor you.

And yet, for all this financial despair when compared to my peers worldwide, I climb a mountain every weekend. I feel the sunshine on my face almost every day of the year. I surf before work regularly.

I have it pretty darn good. Don't let this superficial financial insecurity govern your happiness :)
