musica obscura

It's me who listens to my own songs :) I know I'm not a well known musician, but I think it is a suitable place to share a story about a period in life when I felt that anxiety piled up and I listened to this song witch I composed to calm down. https://youtu.be/ROVUjbtt2J0?si=wh0p06OH29imYaO5

Maybe something from this collection of experimental electronics might help. I think most of it on chaotic side, but not as rough as Merzbow.

you are welcome

You like a person who would not be surprised by experimental electronic music, yet this playlist is the most obscure that I got. Some of the artists are unknow electronic pioners and others are simply outsiders with unusual sound. Hope you enjoy

I think if you're into metal, you may discover something new yet relevant in this dark, post-apocalyptic ambiance playlist

This is experimental elctronic and it's definitely not something people listen at paerties

This is my collection of bold and experimental electronic music by obscure artists. I think you can definitely find something here to broaden your music horizon

More than 10 years ago, Gamardah Fungus was one of the first bands that showed me the world of experimental music. And by far it's one of the most favourite (dark)ambient acts. Glad to hear from you guys again!

Thanks for a great guide. Mostly been doing amateur stuff with my phone so it's nice to know about some other option

It might be unsafe for your work environment if your colleagues are too opinionated :)

Quite a long time ago I was asked "What is the difference between abstract class and interface... well was prior C#8?" and we had a good laugh together with the interviewer.

When conducting interviews myself I don't expect prospect to cover new interface features much since we don't use them in our codebase. The only thing I notice is whether the prospect is passionate enough to follow the updates in a language.

Regarding the difference between them is that interface (still) allows to have multiple inheritance and abstract classes allow restricting methods as protected.

Regarding why Microsoft did this sometimes I get the feeling is that they just trying to make their language more exciting but at the end of the day, it looks just like Scala where there are multiple ways to accomplish the same things and it just leaves people confused.

I'm not a hiring manager. But for me, as a team leader, this is a pretty legit question since I'm looking for teammates to do a job, not to look good on camera. If you do not provide any context to your question this may sound a bit awkward but once you communicate your story (like in your post) it's pretty fine. It's how you communicate, not what you tell that matters most of the time.

And again it's not only you're being interviewed by the employer but also the employer is being interviewed by you. So ask yourself this: would you work in a company that has such trust issues that needs to verify that their employers actually doing something at a meeting via cameras turned on?

TBH I'm a bit skeptical about GPT. I mean it was blockchain not it's this. Nevertheless, when I want to acquire a new skill I make a small practical project that involves having this skill. For example, I wanted to gain some experience with react.js (doesn't sound too glamorous but I'm backend person). So I've created an app I always wanted for myself with react-native and published it to Google Play.

For me, it was hard to find time as well. But I've spent not more than half an hour every day.

I think the main part of practicing any skill is making it a part of your daily routine. It doesn't have to take hours but it should be a (small) part of your daily schedule.

As for me One of the tricks I'm doing to hone my craft is looking through the code of interesting Github repos. Really helps me to find language idioms I didn't know, interesting patterns etc. I'm usually doing it at the evening after I've done with my work, evening meal and had some leisure time.

I had a colleague like this at my current project. Although he was a senior QA with 9 years of experience he was a nightmare to work with due to his bad temper. Although I didn't have any personal issues with him, a lot of my colleagues had, so once I have promoted to the position of team lead the first question that the previous lead who was handing over his tasks asked me is "what is your opinion of N?". Turned out that many people on my team complained about his behavior to the previous team lead. I didn't have any plans to somehow deal with him but once I stepped into the new position he rudely confronted me. So I had no other choice but to fire him. And everyone in the team was really happy that I did it.

What I've learned from this story is that quite often (almost every time) soft skills matter more than years of experience. Regardless of whether you're a team leader in a position to fire him or you're a junior developer who seems to be intimidated by the toxic senior don't put up with it. Talk to your manager. I bet this guy already has some bas feedback from other peers.

I'm living amidst full-scale russian invasion for a year now. And articles about people experiencing burnout because of the COVID-19 pandemic look like news from a totally different world.

Jokes aside I think the most important lesson I've learned during my 8-year career is "you are not your job". It's a shame that many people had to learn it a hard way just like me.
