   I had the opposite experience. I worked at companies in the past that had legacy codebases that were strung together by inexperienced programmers years ago. This meant: - The code was basically just spaghetti with differing standards and ar

   I recommend you keep at it, I also hated interviewing and it would give me anxiety which made me draw blanks and under perform embarrassingly a couple interviews. The trick for me was diligently applying to as many places as possible (that

   And thank you for writing the networking guide. I found it in my early teens when I was interested in learning programming and wanted to go beyond the basics to do some more interesting stuff. It helped me write some chatroom bots for thing

   Same here, started my first fully remote job semi-recently. I've got a nice quiet area to work and the worst interruption I get is maybe my dog drops in for some pets. The productivity and satisfaction remind me of when I was way young

   Any recommendations for sites/services to look at job openings that aren't obvious? Or are you seeing these through your network or something?

    This was an interesting post to me because I've never heard of that distinction, and I think I'm similar. I've often had issues with "being tired" but it's probably more accurately what you call languor. I&#x27

    It didn't come across as overly boastful to me. It was very interesting, and also on a related note thanks for helping make those sweet games. Warcraft/Diablo/Starcraft blew my mind as a kid and were a huge part of my childho

    I like using Firefox on Android because uBlock origin makes mobile browsing at least tolerable and it lets me use the "desktop mode" view on certain sites so e.g. I can listen to youtube playlists even if the phone is locked witho

    Yeah, they are totally fine with gambling for sure. I was actually a bit surprised to see https://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/Slots near the top of "most watched games" when I was bored the other month

    I'm going to be looking soon, any tips that've been working for you so far? What sites were you looking on? Were you requesting interview type up front or just applying to ones that mention it, etc.?

    To clarify I meant chill as in not getting into heated politics or religious debates. If the claim is people can't find meaningful friendships without wedge issues being a cornerstone, then I respectfully disagree. I've had these

    I didn't say _sit_ and chill, I just said chill and don't want politics to be the cornerstone of the friendship or something that comes up often. Partisan politics is extremely prominent here and I have no end of places to discuss

    Thanks for the response. That's been kind of my experience too (hard to keep them when not close / with something in common). I suppose I'll need to find a new hobby at some point here and meet people that way.

    Makes sense. The people I've seen with problem relationships have more emotional issues and that's often when things like drug use and bad decisions go hand in hand. The good news is I have a wonderful wife who I get along with re

    Any advice or thoughts about life to those of us carrying on? No worries if not, I just figure someone in your position can be more honest than most. Either way, thanks for sharing and I hope things go as peacefully as possible for you (and

    Ah interesting. Thanks for the info. Not sure most people will know about that, but it's something! Edit: It appears to be for the new-profile ping not the install pings.

    I personally feel like it's not treating user's privacy as "fundamental" to increasingly add telemetry like this. In this case correlating downloads to system installs, and to have that on by default. It's fairly hi
