I’ve already resigned to the fact that I will probably die alone in an apartment not to be found for weeks because no one checks in on me other than my parents. I won’t kill myself, but I’m not good at socializing

Upvoted because it belongs in this community, and should not be silenced, even though it is the wrong opinion

I hate interviews so much. I feel like none of my work experience has ever helped me in an interview. It’s so fucking stupid.

Fair point. If you are in immediate danger then yeah, not gonna argue. But if you are able to stay and do something, that should be preferable.

I am brown (Filipino). I won’t be leaving. My sister lives here. My nephew. They can go somewhere safe, but there aren’t many places safe from a hot, land war in this world like the US observably is. Mayyybe Canada, but enjoy that economy.

And go where? Where in the world is safe right now? I thought about living in the Philippines with my family, but China is probably waging war soon. Europe? With the way America is headed and the war is going? Let’s assume Ukraine wins: Europe is out of gas and will militarize and right wing governments are rising with German nationalism leading the battle drums, Ukraine gonna be in an economic slump, Russia is gonna be subservient and dependent on China because its economy is gone without a win.

That leaves countries with metropolises that are suffering from westerners gentrifying their neighborhoods with the USD being strong in these places. We are really going to make the poor in other nations pay the price for our government’s doing again, but this time by our own choice? That’s not any better imo. Unless you are leaving with the specific intent on making the place you are going better, stay home please

A 20 dollar per device settlement for selling your data for billions. And the lawyers get paid big. Who the fuck is working for the working class? The law? Defense attorneys? Leaders?

I still don’t know algorithms by heart and been a software dev for 11 years lol
Why waste my brain storage on things I can just look up or read in one of my books when I could be remembering higher level concepts that are hard to research and understand without experience?

I love the arrow in functional programming. Some functional languages (like reasonml) has multiple arrow operators that did different things like this one -> would put the argument in the first position (a popular JS pattern) and the big arrow |> would put it last like most functional languages.

I know this is about CPP but honestly I love the way it looks, but I’m a weirdo lol

Looks like we can see an exposed source of unpaid labor for MS. Never provide free labor for corps.

It really is. I always make a note to point out how much code is removed in PRs I review

If you have seniority and they are a junior, some juniors do respond well to a senior having more knowledge about the codebase. With them, it can be beneficial to use a tone like “We have library X that seems like it could do a lot of the functionality here, unless you already took a look?” I know it’s like 90% of the same but I know people who will just be shellshocked and just blindly say “yes” to any question you ask them, and I don’t want a blind “yes” I wanna know the truth :) it also lets then explain why they didn’t use it if they have a legit reason because hey, maybe I’m the one who needs to be caught up
