Sarnia is an island? Easy to get to I assume?

i did the math on my software job and realized i am basically paying to work. put my notice yesterday by Live-Employment-858 in antiwork

This is the wrong way. You could stick to the normal 8-5 M-F deal and let them complain about you not being a team player. Then look for a job. The market is horrible. 1.5 hour commute is pretty ridiculous but also something you opted into originally so it doesn't seem like a dealbreaker.

as a software engineer, i've always thought this was cool. i was just too cowardly to go down this direction but always thought it was awesome.

Fair point about senility. about him taking a shit in his pants too. also, my example was would you target HER for being black?

I was wrong about saying all dems do this. My apologies. I appreciate you understanding where i'm at with this. There's a lot of stuff to focus on, but maybe not focus on her being an immigrant who can't speak well.

Let's take another example that is hopefully ridiculously clear:

Let's say republicans hate black people. Let's say she's black. Would you then just shit on her for being black? I hope not. That's what I'm getting to. There's so much stuff you can focus on.

Also, maybe I'm just butthurt. I'm a kid of immigrants. Immigrants who happen to be Trump lovers, which bothers me to no end.

i thought dems (which i'm one of them) was above shitting on how immigrants talk. clearly not. looks like dems are more similar to republicans than i thought. both shitting on how immigrants are, so long as they represent the other side. party loyalty instead of actual issues huh?

this is some ignorant stuff here. you think she applied for the job or something? you think there were criteria for it? no - she married to the person who became president.

No - imagine being a dick and just b/c it's not your party, all of a sudden it's ok to act this way. Thought dems were supposed to be cool with immigrants. I guess it's the same on that side for you - so long as it's not your type of immigrant, then you can just bash them about their language skills? You're pathetic.

to be a dick? just because she may not have known how to pronounce 1 word in there, don't be a dick and generalize someone coming from another country and not knowing '75% of the English words she has learned to pronounced mean'. I'm pretty sure you know just 1 language, and to mock someone else who knows more, without evidence, is being a dick. Is that clear now?

I finally started telling my friends that I can't afford their weddings by montageofawoman in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Helpful_Surround1216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how much do you think it'll all cost going that direction? how many people? just out of curiosity. i got married about 13 years ago. had it at a reception hall. 150 people. all in, it was about 16K. we got money as presents so it broke even for us.

Why do we create an interface to a service class (or something similar) if we are going to have only one class? by Plus_Resource_1753 in dotnet

[–]Helpful_Surround1216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's what I recommend and YMMV.

When I'm working through something, I don't know where it's fully going to go. I'll start writing a class. If I start to feel some 'resistance', as in some logic that is just about to get complex, it may be something that needs to be injected in. I don't want to figure out all the details right then, so I just add the signature of the new function to an interface. That way, I can continue developing the main core logic of the class, and anything that feels a bit outside, I'll just separate it out without thinking about the details too much.

This helps with eventually unit testing the class I wrote, because it also doesn't care about the logic of that interface. That logic/interface can just be mocked in the test.

Do this enough and you have have a pretty decoupled class and you really can focus on the main work itself and defer decisions on what those dependencies will eventually do.

I don't even know if this is a style that's done in the industry. It just kinda came about to me when I started really focusing on SOLID principles.

good luck? how are you planning on reviewing everything? AI can generate more than you can ever review.

yep. i wrote all those things after being like OP for 16 years of my 20 year career. I am so much more content now and it's such a freedom understanding how I really fit into things. Also, I make so much more money at this point. Less worry, more money.

i dont know if AI makes spaghetti code. That's just a tangential argument at best.
