If anything, cloud is shinier resume building than handrolling. Handrolling: "wrote a few systemd services" Cloud: put the EC2 in the VPC with an ENI and attached the EBS to connect to the RDS

Don't upgrade unnecessarily. Then you won't get backdoored by xz releases. Same security industry convinces you to upgrade every 15 seconds and then sells you solutions for when those upgrades fuck you over.

Sorry to hear that experience. I've come to discount any form of flattery in intro emails. E.g. when a FAANG recruiter emails me "wow, we were impressed by your public project!", I used to believe it. Now I know it's jus

Well now we're going around in circles: 1. External install scripts that put stuff in system directories are sloppy and we don't like them 2. External install scripts that put stuff clearly-named non-hidden directory in your $HOME

I don't worry about where my distro package manager installs files. Some install methods are outside of your package manager, but try to touch /usr or /opt or /var, like NVIDIA sh scripts and the likes.

You're 100% correct. So many stories of very successful musicians (metal guitarists, etc.) that have a knack for making music people like. I view this thing as a "skill-reward" ratio. If you're a mediocre guitarist and y

Can you be more clear about what you're hinting at here? Is it that the companies listed (SiriusXM, Boeing, Home Depot, VMWare, Draft Kings) don't have money to waste anymore because they're not doing well financially?

Do you count financial reward under recognition? Lot of places are generous with non-financial recognition but stingy with the monetary recognition.

You can write whatever you want on a resume and nobody can tell if you burned out on both ends or phoned it in for 1-2 hours. So, no, holding a position for X years, when presented in a reasonable manner at the next interview, cannot possib

Sugar is normal and delicious. There's a whole world of pastries, cakes, desserts eaten in every culture in the world. Fruits are sugary and delicious. Not all sugary treats are an addiction conspiracy. I don't understand 0-sugar

Oh yeah, agreed; I quit the moment it happened. What I mean is now I'm sort of wary of the same situation re-occurring at the next place I work.

I'm in this trap right now a little bit. After a particularly egregious instance of feeling passed over for a promo, how can I trust that the next jerkoff won't do the same thing?

I realize asking for a new 4.0 release is fair (and the GitLab issue does have a highly upvoted request for a release). But you can't just call things "dead" for no reason, it's in poor taste. It's feature-complete,

The master branch is active and people use Eigen today. The Discord has maintainers that are still active. Not sure how it could be considered "dead"?

Speaking for myself: 1. I use a small amount of the surface area of C++, so the parts I don't use don't bother me 2. I may have silent footguns all over my code, but if I run my CMake build, and the tests pass, and the application
