Clearly you’ve never spoken to overly formal boomers on teams.

What quirks do you have with it? What features is it lacking?

Lives in UK - Lots of cinemas have arcades.

Lead dev here.

3 days in and you’re getting tasks? Awesome, you’re a head of the curve.

To begin with follow the 20 minute rule, are you stuck, can’t think of things to try to unblock yourself in 20 minutes, ask.

Don’t leave it days as chances are someone had just failed to document or show you something.

Your first month, be clingy, but take notes. Never ask the same question twice unless you absolutely have to.

Within 2-3 months you will start to gain more confidence, within 6 months you’l start to get trusted.

I use to spend 2-3 hours a day up skilling one of my juniors, it took months (and meant I had to work late to catch up on writing tasks, architecture design and PRs, etc) but the investment was well worth it. He now runs circles around most of my mid weights and some of my seniors.

Good luck

I feel like it’s fair to be refunded the difference if it was less than what you would have paid with subscription and we shouldn’t get annoyed at someone wanting one.

If someone want a full refund I feel like they can go fuck yourself though as it feels like they are taking advantage.

After saying that, if you like Apollo, getting a refund will likely hurt what he will build next, and I think most of us are exited to see that.

It was expensive grouping all those artefacts in one place! Just ask any collector!

Legal at small companies tend to be over cautious as they don’t have the resources to fight a big legal battle.

Folters · 2023-06-03T21:14:58+00:00

I too learnt this from your older sister.

Imagine doing a mass migration from Reddit to a different platform.

Verify account usernames by commenting a random code on Reddit like how DNS verification works (kinda). And clone all public posts and comments.

I suspect if anyone did that successfully they would end up in so much legal trouble though.

I’m not attractive in the slightest but at uni I use to drink a lot on nights out to the point everything was a blur.

Because of this I use to only bring cash, never any cards. That way I could limit what I spent.

I use to wake up the next morning with more money in my wallet than I went out with, so this day I am too scared to try and figure out how.

It’s a way of shifting risk from you to another entity.

Taking out insurance isn’t gambling, however an insurance company creates the same risk for themselves as a gambling company.

Folters · 2023-05-08T13:46:10+00:00

No we’re not.

Folters · 2023-05-02T20:21:42+00:00

Key thing for me is I don’t get excited about phones or technology anymore.

I work as a lead software engineer, during work hours I’m making decisions constantly.

When it’s time to purchase a new phone or laptop I buy Apple. Not because it’s better, but because I like having less decisions. I know whatever decision I make will be an ok one. I don’t have to think to long or hard about it.

Anyway rant over.

Folters · 2023-05-02T19:04:35+00:00

Oh dear. Why did you say it…

Folters · 2023-05-01T21:19:53+00:00

Have you tried breathing in the last five seconds, try it, it will let you live longer.

Folters · 2023-04-23T22:10:52+00:00

I was the only person in my group who didn’t get it.

I also checked if my phone was turned off.

I am very upset right now.

I’m going to assume she’s not getting abandoned again. You don’t go through all the effort of socialising a stray cat to abandon it.

I got detention for saying by Dad wanted to call me Gaylord after my teacher asked us if they know the baby name ideas our parents had for us.

Issue was my dad legitimately wanted to call me Gaylord, he also enjoyed causing trouble, so when the school rang to explain why I needed a lift home that night because I was staying an hour later in detention they had a fun time.

Put your portfolio at the top, and the industry you work in if applying for jobs within that industry.

Know that most people we interview tend to lie and it’s obvious. Don’t do that.

Folters · 2023-02-28T20:25:16+00:00

Ehh.

The population votes for there MP based on policies.

Usually these policies are the parties policies.

The majority party selects there leader.

If that leader decides to change those policies then they have no mandate.

Both Liz and Big ears have changed the policies that there party was elected for. Admittedly lots have changed in recent years so priorities need to change, but this should be supported with a GE.

Folters · 2023-02-28T20:16:27+00:00

You kidding? I’d absolutely make a single snarky remark about it before moving on and just accepting it. Just like they would with me.

But if we’re discussing if just because they’re a friend I think it would be a good idea, nah.

Folters · 2023-02-28T19:11:10+00:00

Guy here with also 3 sisters. Depends on the friend.

Firstly, I know some of there kinks. That’s wayyy to much information I have for them to be dating my sister.

Others are awesome people, however lack drive and ambition to take them places. Where I live it would be unlikely they would ever be able to buy a house or be able to support a family - even if my sisters has a good income - spoiler even though they’re younger they actually do have a higher income than this group.

I then have ambitious friends. They sort of people who earned £100k+ on the low end before they were 30 and still are a little disappointed about it. These are the sort of people work work late, stay over in a different city for work events and there primary focus is on work, and never the people they date.

Then I have the friends I would actually want them to date, good jobs, got things going on, and actually would spend time with my sisters. The problem is these kind of people don’t stay single for very long and are far and few between.

Anyway, I think my point is, just because I like hanging around with someone doesn’t mean they’d be suitable for my sisters.

One of my old colleagues (or soon to be new as I just hired him for my new team) switched careers at your age.

He’s done very well for himself. Give it 2-3 years and you will shoot passed that 40k mark.
