I would have to be out of a job for a long time with no prospects to consider doing it. It’s so demeaning

{ r, g, b}, hex code, rgb encoded in some stupid format, types are just helpful. I don’t know why people don’t like them. 30 seconds of creating a class for your type saves you hours of debugging later

He’s the assman!

Spot on. We all have our own demons. It’s up to us to overcome them and make a life for ourselves. Life is not fair, some get it better, so e have it worse, but it’s for each of us to conquer ourselves

Life is learning that no one looks out for you, no one is going to swoop in and make it easy. Nobody wants to go to work, but we all do anyway. I’d love to take a year off, but then I’d probably go homeless, so I don’t. I can wish it all I want, but it isn’t going to happen.

So, I could be resentful that others may have it easier, or I can enjoy my days off how I want and put in my time as I go. C’est la vie.

Yeah strong disagree with this meme. 15 years into my career and everything gets a data type.

The only engineers I know who still don’t like strong types are engineers who haven’t lost a weekend due to a stupid type issue. Once you have one or a few of those, you start to like types again.

I am the exact same way. Good on you for acknowledging it and recognizing it. I love romcoms, Jane Austen movies are some of my favorites, and ffs I literally made and mod the Taylor Swift community here. I’m very straight, but also in touch with my own emotions. All of masculinity says that I would never find a woman and that I’m doing everything wrong.

Except I’ve been married and ina committed relationship for well over a decade now. My wife loves that I’m open with who I am. (I took her to the Eras tour!).

Toxic males are sexist in many ways, but one is that they think of women as single thinking people. That women want hot guys with fast cars, and that you’ll never get one without. That’s like saying that all men like playing dnd, or all men want to drive a big truck. It’s asinine. There are over 4 billion women on this planet, and a good many of them do not care what kind of truck you have. In fact, most of them would think you wasted your money on it.

Data science. CS is going to be programming and learning about things like registers and ram allocation. Data science sounds more like what you’re describing

I wish, but check their comments. They’re just here to argue

99% likelihood of a troll people, downvote and move along

Nope. Don’t take the bait people. Move along.

I had a similar but in reverse. I was at the bar with some coworkers, 4 of them or so, and they were all bitching about their wives. They turned to me and I didn’t have anything. I literally made something up, I was so on the spot. They laughed and the conversation moved on. It hit me though because it was like this cannot be healthy, is this what you actually think?

10 years later, 3 of them are divorced.

Docker compose in git. Env in 1password or whatever password manager you use. Most support uploading a raw file.

I’ve had about three companies do agile correctly. They were either less than 10 people total or did not care at all. Any company with middle management dipped their toes in, I think because they need to prove their existence

13 is too young for an unrestricted smartphone for sure. If you do, I would lock it down hard for another couple of years. No spying, they deserve privacy, but you should know who they’re talking to (just not what they’re saying). But the internet is much much too broad of a place to just dump a 13 year old into. (Just look at us cretins here. You just wait, someday someone will offer your child linux and he better be ready to handle it).

Joking aside, the other thing is if they want a phone badly maybe it’s a good time to teach the lesson on finance too. Maybe you offer to go in halfway with them, and they can do a paper route or something. At 15-16 then they’ll start being annoyed at the restrictions on the phone, and that’s their opportunity to buy one themselves.

Yup, wasted memory allocation to get something that’s there already

God, as a true scrummaster - one who believes in actual scrum - where the devs make the rules - not management… this hurts. This hurts so goddamn much.

• 4 hour planning? PMs shit the bed.
• Story points = hours? Micromanagement
• Estimate with that much accuracy? Micromanagement who are also terrible with managing their own schedules.
• It’s a simple task. - How would any business person know how long or expensive a dev task is.

And on and on, and of course you all know this. The term “Agile” has been so bastardized from it’s conception by management who think it’s a micromanagement tool. It’s quite literally the opposite. It’s mean to put the power in the hands of the developers - so they can be efficient and keep management out of their way. Management just couldn’t handle handing over a tiny bit of power though. Have to break the fundamental pillars of agile, like dictating what a point is, or how long things should take. Ugh.

I mean, you’re right here.

Thank you I thought I was going insane. It’s not Reddit levels of activity, but I’d say this is pretty dang active. Stats on the right show almost 600 users a day, ~7k a month, almost 100k comments…

1. a credit card shouldn’t be about the limit at all. Even with a big project you could have just done it in parts or only done on part on the card. You should never take out cards for a higher limit.

2. you could have just called and asked for a limit raise.

That you don’t know enough about credit. Or fraud.
