As a junior developer I once had a pair programming session with a more senior developer who was baffled that I don't rely on VS Code features like replace all, I don't copy-paste code from other sections of the application that r

I don't think you need to be at peak cognitive power for your contributions to be measurable and worth doing in society. No one would care about the age of the person who finds treatment for an autoimmune or teleportation. Sure, you&#x

I have pulsatile tinnitus for the last 12 years, however it's also accompanied with a CONSTANT sensation of pulse, as if I can feel my arteries dancing, all around my scalp. To this day, the doctors have been unable to find the root ca

I'm somewhat confused by statements like these because they imply that the reason why we're mostly excited about it is not what she achieved but where she could potentially achieve many years later. Are these "years later&quo

Being able to open a PR and getting accepted to be merged are 2 totally different things. IMO, one of the core reasons why UI/UX in open source applications (that aren't backed or actively contributed by dedicated staff in big com

People always want to ascribe the smallest slice of pie in luck, so that they get praise for what they achieve. I broke friendships with people who insisted that it wasn't their country's job market that had more opportunities for

I'm of the unpopular opinion that we conditioned ourselves to pedestalize speed of acquisition as the most important evidence that someone is talented. I see root comments bringing up how the person the article is talking about was any

I think volition is the difference. Me wanting to get up and get some water and stretch my legs is something I plan on doing and carry it at a time that I chose. Me being interrupted by someone to ask me something while I'm deep in tho

I mean, it's a text that appeared 2 hours after being posted on gitlab repo that's used as a replacement of pastebin, then magically appeared here.

On the subject of books, there's an advisory email Carmack wrote to a kid years ago, telling him that his methods may be outdated compared to the modern advances in learning, but when he studied books he would read multiple resources d

I'm a 40 years old guy who taught himself and got his first gig last year and he's also my hero. I'll sound "kids nowadays" but it's surprising how many young developers never even heard of Carmack.

I have Celiac. If I buy something from the super market tagged as "gluten free" I shouldn't have to gamble thinking that whoever's in charge of the packaging though about selling this to fad-chasers. So I decided to inst

This is 100% me if you substitute social media browsing with distro hopping and text editor tinkering. Now I understand why redditors decided to call that subreddit "unixporn". My solution: Stick with Fedora and Visual Studio Code

The clear path is... lying about his content? If that's your definition of a system working as intended, we have a problem.

Not that I disagree with you but I don't see what the course is promising as anything close to what you juts described and rant about, and neither does it claim that it won't take time. Were you perhaps attempting to respond to so

I once tried to migrate from VS Code to Neovim. I use TypeScript at work, and use many languages for my side projects. But the worst part was making Vim provide with things that you'd expect programming editors to have. So many options

Revisiting the problems isn't necessary to get the dopamine hit for figuring out a solution, in my opinion, and as for feedback it depends on the company culture.

In an ideal world, that would be the case. However, people aren't 100% rational agents motivated by logic. My aunt was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis which led her to lose her eyesight from her left eye, because she refused to get a

The issue is having to wait for someone else to do it. I feel the same way as a gamer waiting for third party fans to build mods/fixes/overlays that fix issues of a game that the dev decided not to implement for whatever reason. G

I'll never forget the onboarding in my first job. It was almost perfect. Senior developers who knew how to communicate without making me feel like a toddler (in spite of the fact that I was), small tasks that helped both to build confi

Half of the things that you listed also require engagement outside of working hours (playing music, cooking, physics). It all boils down to how satisfied you are with your competence. You can always work for companies that work with well-es

Aside the "programming isn't especially difficult" which I think has more to do with how experienced people are poor evaluators of the required skills to be good in something (akin to gamers saying "git gud" when it

Thank you. To be honest, I haven't really asked them much, because they (senior devs) have their own plate full, and I'm only trying to ask project-specific questions not things that I would find on Google. Also, I'm feeling

I have a slight idea that I might be focusing too much on remembering the exact syntax and understanding (almost) every line before I move on, and that I should chill out a little bit and realize that I'll be working with Python docs,

So, when I decided to ask I wanted it to keep it as language-agnostic as possible because, I don't believe that whether it's Python, Rust or Ruby changes the overall approach/method. But just for the sake of being specific, i
