my siblings and I call each other then most derogatory nicknames we for each other since we used to argue and fight a lot growing up unless shit is serious. then it’s “hey (actual name)”
my home life wasn’t super stable so I wonder how many families have this kind of sibling relationship
yes but for me every day at work leaves me with no energy on a 9 to 5 so I’d rather have 4 no energy days than 5
this is something I didn’t expect would bother me until it did
growing up I thought “part time” hours meant you could just pick a set of hours and work but that’s “contract work” instead (don’t get me started on time sheets)
and so for full time in thought you get to pick your days or schedule or any, nope, all HR and company policy.
I’d work 4x10s if I could and have a nicer and longer weekend if I could
Suit psychology is so different from tech workers. they don’t understand why tech workers don’t want to live stream their private working area and tech workers don’t understand why suits are obsessed with looking at people in meetings
very cute
my tech background has always been the coal mines of doing coding problems
”its garbage but I love it" should be more commonly said than dying on a hill defending the most unremarkable b-movie
my phone at 80% vol is fairly quiet with my earbuds.
I’ve also noticed that this warning’s timing is quite random.
I always listen to music on my commutes and they’ve been the same commute for 2 years and Ive only seen this warning like four or five times completely out of the blue.
it’s the age of grifting and unfortunately she’s kind of winning, Dems spend so much time calling Reps idiots but reps are making a killing with their grifts, breaking the law and getting away with it
it’s more of a “know your audience” thing for me
I can make all sorts of stupidly sarcastic jokes with my friends but when it comes to the internet there’s probably thousands of idiots who read content and take it as face value and as genuine
this is what I said about the Linux memes about Linux being hard to use, people were upset I said that because of the “can’t take a joke” angle
but I seriously believe that those memes do more harm than good
that’s exactly why I’m saying this. I know from experience helping other devs with git issues it’s always because they’re using a GUI alternative to the CLI and they’re clicking on things they don’t understand
let’s turn this into a constructive angle for future devs and current juniors: just learn git cli, I promise you it is much simpler than it seems.
all those memes about git having like a thousand commands are true, but you really will only use like 7 at most per month.
learn push, pull, merge, squash, stash, reset, im probably missing like one or two
I promise you again: it is much simpler than it seems. and you won’t have to use these stupid git GUI things, and it will save you a hassle because you will know what commands you are running and what they do
short disclaimer: using git GUI is totally fine but low-key you are missing out on so much
you unironically just have to cope with it in whatever way makes sense to you
I personally think of my career as: “some things I do are interesting and keep me from blowing my brains out, the rest I don’t care about”
when it comes to the company I work for: I treat everyone I meet well, no corporate bs, no yes sir yes ma’am. I do whatever I’m assigned and meet deadlines
but I never go above and beyond (because of burnout)
everything you’ve thought about hard work = reward or better pay is a scam
put everything into work-life balance and when you go home focus on things you really want to do, such as hobbies or hang outs
don’t do unpaid overtime, don’t bend over for anyone, don’t offer yourself up when shit goes down
you want to be as invisible as possible while not burning out AND not working your ass off (everyone has different standards for what this means)
tldr: just find some way to cope because there isn’t really anything else you can do
short answer: yes
long answer: opinions are kind of a privilege. if you’re someone working 9 to 5 you probably couldn’t give a shit about anything other than relaxing and winding down from the stress of a work week. if you’re someone who manages to still be involved, congrats. pushing this unto other people imo is not fair. ideally people would work less and have more free time to get situated with how their surroundings are being legislated
GitHub CI is great. too great. some devs have taken it upon their hands to attempt and wield an unwieldy power.
and unfortunately at my work it is my job to fix that unwieldy power
this is one of those thoughts you have when you shake in bed trying to desperately awake from a nightmare
pretty much everything except soft serve tastes odd to me nowadays. even higher quality ice creams have this really artificial super sweet flavor that is not for me
unfortunately people won’t answer past “what game did you grow up with?”
I think the most recognizable game was the most culturally impactful so my vote is for SM, even SM64 completely changed gaming
(not a Nintendo or Mario fan btw)
