This is why these threads can be frustrating for juniors with no experience. Yeah sure, if you have ten years of on the job experience you can refuse companies that make you do take home tests. If you have zero years then it's a lot ha

I try, I really do, but my only referrals have all ended in ghosting by the parent company. Hopefully once I get my first job I can work on building that a little more.

I'm hunting for a job right now and this stings. I've had multiple companies just stop responding after 2 or 3 interviews. The weirdest one though was the company that after four interviews emailed me to "schedule next steps&

It seems lately that there's been a lot of hate for YouTube, with it's demonetizations and copy right strikes. I can see them basically poaching top YouTube talent and telling them, we'll pay for your show, just it has to be

The most frustrating thing that happened to me in college was my school fucking my graduation requirements on their online portal and basically not telling me until my final quarter I actually had to take three more electives. I was prevent

I will even pay for mobile games. Because I do enjoy them, and sometimes you don't want something so complex. It's just feels impossible to find them because they don't get millions of downloads. Honestly the thing that kills

Three reasons: - Self promotion (Hey check out this thing I just wrote/made) - Facebook market. It's nice to have what is essentially a Craigeslist with a built in messenger (don't have to give my phone number/ email), t

While I see what the author is getting at, I'm not sure I fully agree with him. -Deadlines This is literally every job. This is high school. This is easy to self impose. If you need a college degree to teach you the concept of deadline

The majority of people I talk to on Discord went the route of AIM/MSN/Yahoo -> Skype -> Discord. The big thing that I found was that the concept of Discord server was so significantly better then using group messages on anyt

There's an influencer program but it's more aimed at Lan parties and other events of that nature. I suspect that the reason you see so many Discords for subreddits is it's free, and easy. I recall few subs having IRCs which t

The issue with mute is that if you're assigned a roll and the role is @'d you're still notified. There's no way to suppress it. Combine that with servers where you need a role to access channels and you end up with unmut

That and it has update instructions which makes it easier to link non technical people too.

So I actually worked at Whole Foods for a bit. It helps when you realize there's actually three classes of workers at Whole Foods. There's Part Time (Not supposed to be over twenty hours), Part Time 20(at least twenty hours), and

I use Medium. Their posts are viewable without JS but you do have to have it on to submit. You can also use Gatsby + Netlify. https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby-starter-blog

I use an extension called The Great Suspender to do this. It's not amount based but time based.

I have a friend who works at Facebook. I actually asked him this question. His answer was something along the lines of: "I don't use facebook, the problems I have to solve are interesting, and it's management that makes those

The styling on this site is not very good. Is it that hard to make your mobile design expand outward?

On one hand as a user it's annoying to come back to my machine in a freshly rebooted state because of updates. On the other as a technical support person, both for pay and free, the pain of dealing with non updated windows is the worst

Realistically, would we have cared if IE was everywhere if it wasn't garbage in supporting web standards? I'm not arguing for a lack of competition. It's just that someone needs to be on top of the heap. Might as well be a co

I wish my T420 wasn't in such bad shape. It works... mostly. But the physical case is beat to all hell because it came through college with me, spent every day in a bag, survived a few high falls to concrete. It'd still be a viabl

Because everyone sells CDs. On tape you have a distinct feeling. The weirdest album I've seen for sale at a show was a Sega Saturn (or maybe it was a Megadrive) cartridge.

I use Linux, but only in a VM. Every year or two I try to install it on actual hardware. In the past ten years it has gotten so much better. That said it is still not quite at the level I would use it as my main OS. If my laptop stops worki

I have 3rd party cookie blocking on Chrome. Honestly the two things I've noticed are: - I have to fill out recaptcha. A lot. - I've been applying for jobs, some companies have a button for linked in auto fill. Sometimes this works

And it's one of the harder places to fix apparently. I went to a place that repairs jeans and they quoted me the purchase price of the jeans to fix it.

This is neat, though these links are impossible to use except via copy and paste. And the emojiset isn't the same on every computer meaning some people would get boxes.

Burned out six months into my first post college job. Not as dramatic as some of the other failures here. Just stopped showing up, and refused to leave my room for a week. Eventually got up the nerve to call them and explain what happened.

I feel like it'd have to be a really weird overlap between: - A place that doesn't already have an ATM - A place that doesn't have an ATM on the way - Needing the cash so quickly and immediately that I'm willing to pay a
