I'm heartened to read a few comments like yours. This sort of sentiment was being downvoted to oblivion not six months ago. "Oh, am I in that group that's deemed bad? To the rationalisation-mobile!"

I strongly suspect those comments come from two groups: Parents who have done this and are now trying to justify it for their conscience, and people who are on their phones all day themselves and can't bear being in "the bad group

Ah, malicious compliance, my "last trick in the bag". When I'm tired of arguing, I do exactly what I'm told. Nothing opens eyes quite so well as getting exactly what you asked for.

For sure, but it's a great sieving mechanism. If the recruiter / company went with either C-level only, or didn't check beyond with a few people who actually worked with you day to day, then meh, no loss on my end. Also; I de

Disagree; stay true to yourself. Try to be nice to everyone regardless, but also don't hold back on honest criticism for fear of reprisals. Doesn't matter how high the other person gets in the chain, you can't hide what you a

This. I haven't bothered with non-word-of-mouth jobs for over ten years. If the job's not recommended to me by someone I already know, I'm not interested. It saves sooo much time.

My TV runs WebOS. So I'm a WebOS user? Nobody will care that it can run in desktop mode, until people start using that as their daily driver. Spoiler: That's not a thing that will happen.

Indeed, never mind that, because it's irrelevant. Nobody is using a Steam Deck as their daily machine. Daily Linux users are using their existing machines, and Windows and Mac users are using their PCs and Macs. Sure, some might dip in

Let's be fair; when we say "desktop Linux", none of us think "a dedicated games console which uses Linux to run Steam, occasionally running the desktop mode to make something in Steam easier (like emulation)". Obvio
