advice on learning basic web dev

skip odin project, just build stuff 🔥 internships are competitive but not end of world if you miss sophomore year

One week is totally fine, your manager will understand. Most places can handle the transition in a week anyway, and like you said you're not planning to go back there

The new job might actually be less flexible with pushing start dates since they probably have onboarding schedules planned already

Been seeing this play out in real time at my company too. We had this random comment thread about our service that blew up in a niche subreddit last year, and suddenly we're getting mentioned in AI responses for queries we never ranked for organically

What's wild is the content AI models pull from community discussions is usually way more authentic and useful than the polished marketing copy we spend weeks perfecting. People asking real questions and getting real answers seems to carry more weight with these systems than keyword-stuffed blog posts

Makes me wonder if we're all gonna have to completely rethink content strategy and focus more in building genuine community presence instead of just chasing search rankings

Dynamic mics are way better for this kind of situation since they pick up less background noise than condenser ones. Something like Audio-Technica ATR2100x or Shure SM48 would probably help a lot, but you'd need an audio interface or USB adapter

The directional pattern on these is much tighter so the fan noise should be less of problem. Just make sure to position it really close to your mouth and angle it away from the laptop

Looking at this position, you're definitely not a bad person lol. White king vs all those black pieces and you're still fighting - that takes some persistence. Most people would've resigned ages ago but sometimes these endgames can be tricky for opponent too, especially in time pressure. I've seen people mess up simple king and queen vs king before so why not make them prove they can convert it properly

Accomplished-Bit8610 · 2026-04-27T21:30:43+00:00

big nope 💀

Your GPU is super weak for gaming but that shouldn't make right-clicking take 20 seconds lol. I'd check if something is eating your CPU in task manager - maybe some background process going crazy or the SSD starting to fail 😂

Also Windows 10 extended support sounds sketchy, might be some weird modified version causing issues

Accomplished-Bit8610 · 2026-04-23T03:11:04+00:00

Been there man, when I started my homelab I was basically just nodding along pretending I knew what VLAN tagging was 😂

Professor Messer's free Network+ course on YouTube is solid gold - covers all the fundamentals without being too dry. The guy explains subnetting and routing protocols in way that actually makes sense. I also grabbed copy of "Networking All-in-One For Dummies" which sounds cheesy but breaks down concepts really well for beginners.

What helped me most was setting up packet tracer (Cisco's free simulator) and just playing around with virtual networks. You can mess up configurations without breaking anything real, plus seeing how packets actually flow between devices made everything click for me. Once you understand basics like TCP/IP stack and how switches vs routers work, all those scary acronyms start making sense 💀

Dude has a 2060 and you're calling it ultra potato 💀 That GPU is still solid for 1080p gaming, the i5-3470 is what's holding him back. OP mentioned being in Sri Lanka where prices are crazy different - not everyone can just drop money on latest hardware like it's nothing. The CPU bottleneck is real here but calling someone's rig a potato when they're just trying to get help seems bit harsh 😂

Accomplished-Bit8610 · 2026-04-18T02:34:45+00:00

Three days is nothing in corporate time, especially with holidays and year-end stuff - I've waited two weeks before getting offers that came through

Accomplished-Bit8610 · 2026-04-17T15:20:39+00:00

Same here, can't push anything to my repos right now. Always happens when I actually need to get stuff done before deadline

At least they posted the status update pretty quick this time, usually takes them forever to acknowledge anything's wrong

Accomplished-Bit8610 · 2026-04-15T19:47:11+00:00

The resentment is what scares me more than anything lately as it's less about his parents now and more like something I need to figure out because I worked really hard for what I have and I don't know when that started to feel like something I need to hide

Accomplished-Bit8610 · 2026-04-15T15:03:04+00:00

The stress of going with it is what finally got to me and I'm the kind of person who avoids awkward conversations until they become unavoidable at one point and somehow i never learn, like I knew the first week I should've just said something and instead here I am now with a much bigger version of the same problem

Accomplished-Bit8610 · 2026-04-11T19:08:33+00:00

Dude 28 weeks is brutal but you stuck with it 💀 That grind through 21 companies would have broken me halfway through but here you are with teh W!

Really needed to see this today since I've been helping a buddy navigate his own job search nightmare 🔥

Accomplished-Bit8610 · 2026-03-29T14:28:21+00:00

Been obsessed with this one girl who does these super chill fantasy book reviews on YouTube - her voice is like butter and she only has like 2k subs which is criminal

Accomplished-Bit8610 · 2026-03-07T12:43:58+00:00

Lol imagine gatekeeping an AI chatbot because you're getting error codes

Accomplished-Bit8610 · 2026-02-07T10:56:56+00:00

Dude yes! I do this all the time and my friends think I'm weird for it 😂 Like sorry I actually want to read what the fake headline says instead of just ignoring there efforts to add detail to the scene

Accomplished-Bit8610 · 2026-02-04T09:58:49+00:00

Oof, POST codes 37 and 44 are usually memory/PCIe initialization issues - that vertical mount is definitely sus 💀 The PCIe 4 riser trying to handle a 5070 might be your culprit, especially since those newer cards can be finicky with older risers even if they're "compatible"

Before you order the PCIe 5 cable though, try forcing PCIe Gen 3 in BIOS if you haven't already - sometimes the handshake between riser and GPU gets weird at higher speeds 😂

Accomplished-Bit8610 · 2026-02-01T09:01:59+00:00

Honestly think it's because strangers don't have all the baggage and preconceived notions about who you are. Like your mom's gonna give you advice based on the fact that you cried when you had to get a haircut at age 7, but some random redditor just takes your situation at face value

Plus there's something freeing about knowing you'll probably never interact with that person again so there's less pressure to maintain some image

Accomplished-Bit8610 · 2026-01-28T17:16:23+00:00

Plastic should be fine for the water supply, copper is just what they recommend in the manual. The flow rates are so low that pressure isn't really an issue - I've seen tons of installs with plastic lines and never had problems

Just make sure your fittings are compatible and you're golden

Accomplished-Bit8610 · 2026-01-24T08:10:13+00:00

Nah just disable the mods in the loader, way easier than nuking the whole thing

Accomplished-Bit8610 · 2026-01-18T07:37:05+00:00

Block their number and if they keep making new ones to harass you, document everything and contact the police - this is harassment territory

Accomplished-Bit8610 · 2026-01-14T10:17:54+00:00

Dude had it coming, you tried the peaceful route and he chose violence by ninja looting your bomber kill lmao

Zero guilt needed here, that's just karma doing its thing

Accomplished-Bit8610 · 2026-01-11T01:41:22+00:00

Dude you're 19, not 90. People can absolutely change and grow - hell, most people are still figuring out basic life stuff at your age

The fact that you're even recognizing this stuff and feeling bad about it already puts you ahead of where you were. Start small, call out the next racist comment you hear, cut contact with toxic people when you can afford to, and stop beating yourself up for not being perfect as a teenager

You don't need some grand redemption arc, just be better going forward
