   I love Advent of Code. I learnt Rust while solving last year's puzzles.

   I don't know why, this makes me a bit sad. You can sort of feel a game engine when you're playing a game. The GTA trilogy lost a lot when they did their remastering project with a different engine. Although I'm sure it can be

   I used to work as a programmer for an investment bank. Got in at 10 AM, left at 6 PM. Almost never thought about work outside of those hours.

   I can understand not trusting the app, however less than 1% of my 20,000 users have asked for an offline version.

   I shouldn't be annoyed by this, but as a Cantonese speaker I really dislike this name.

    Very cool, I was just thinking I wanted an email API to check my company's customer support inboxes to see if a user has been contacted or not.

    I work for myself. One morning I woke up very hung over and wasn't able to get anything done. I stayed in bed until 2 PM. That pushed to stop for a month, and then I just stopped.

    I got a very spooky email from HR a few years back: "Hi, this is X from HR. We want to talk to you about an incident that occurred a few months ago. Can we meet on Thursday 3 PM?" "Okay what incident are you referring to&quot

    I used to work in a company where people would write a message in the Skype group saying they weren't coming in. Then the other thirty people in the company would reply with "take care".

    Yes, but I didn't want to use a library because I was doing something a bit out of the usual case. I do like understanding my code as much as possible. So I was choosing between: 1. Understand React better, and reading about the "

    True, but I'm quite happy using VanillaJS. I'd like to avoid React as much as possible in the future.

    If there is one, I often like to look at the database. The stuff that is stored and the names of the tables should give you a good idea how the application works. Sort of unrelated, but I've got a story about a project I was looking th
