All the time. Negative thoughts are normal and increase as you learn more and can see where the flaws in your work are. The more you learn, the worse it gets, until at some point you'll be confident enough to look at your work and defend yo

I just call them "noobgrammers", it's much less gender-biased and so much more self-explanatory.

Not at all, there are many different projects with varying levels of difficulty. Everything from documentation addins to web apps, build system fixes or runtime work. We don't care what your level in school is, we care that you're excited a

The problem is that they do the exact same thing for people that they reach out to. Their recruiters go out to mailing lists and linkedin and harvest emails, then contact those people and offer them positions. If you say yes, they start you

Nod, I understand. At the risk of adding just a little more noise, a quick note: I initially ignored the comment, but then while reading other comments I started seeing the upvotes piling up, and frankly, it bothered me. I can't downvote, I

Some say it's probably due to the installer copying lots of things around, combined with slow IO on the VM plus the installer assuming reads are going to be slow (the source being slow CDs or floppies). I call pish posh on that. What you're

Just activate the Multiple Inboxes gadget on Labs. Then you can create n priority inboxes with whatever you want showing up. If you then can't find a way to filter your super super super super priority emails from the rest of the junk, then
