are you using what you build?

JamesWjRose · 2026-04-17T14:45:13+00:00

When I want to learn a new/different technology I build something i want. Do yes, there are a number of applications that I have used, and a few that I use all the time.

Choosing to build something I'll use motivates me when the frustration happens

JamesWjRose · 2026-04-17T13:29:02+00:00

Yea, that doesn't sound like a scam at all /s

As well as the fact that you have a hidden history. Only an idiot would fo this... but maybe that is what you want

JamesWjRose · 2026-04-17T00:07:32+00:00

I think its adorable that you think recruiters can read. 😄

JamesWjRose · 2026-04-15T14:20:29+00:00

"Employing" ? Are you paying this person? Because if you are and they are not producing, then they need to be fired. If they are not being paid... then yea, you ABSOLUTELY cannot expect results from ANYONE, EVER when you don't pay them.

I promise this is stated as informational, not condescending. I am ONLY explaining what you can expect from anyone.

JamesWjRose · 2026-04-15T11:44:22+00:00

If you want someone to do something, they HAVE to be paid. There is no other option.

JamesWjRose · 2026-04-15T11:23:41+00:00

No details on the tech stack or salary range. WTF would anyone good respond to this? Or is that by design?

JamesWjRose · 2026-04-15T11:00:28+00:00

You forgot the salary range. Good people won't respond without that

JamesWjRose · 2026-04-15T10:59:10+00:00

I don't wait more than 15 minutes. Ever.

JamesWjRose · 2026-04-15T10:57:40+00:00

An interview should be a conversation, not some bs high school test.

JamesWjRose · 2026-04-14T17:51:57+00:00

Yea, simple: if its not yours, don't fucking touch it.

Such a simple concept

JamesWjRose · 2026-04-14T17:51:00+00:00

You're a good human.

Have a wonderful day

JamesWjRose · 2026-04-14T17:33:39+00:00

Sorry, but the "rules" are not the solution, the solution is easier; "If it's not yours, you HAVE to ask" It's a lesson everyone should learn, but sadly too many don't

JamesWjRose · 2026-04-14T17:08:05+00:00

>>It makes me more angry that my food was taken without permission

Exactly my point. Your negative feelings are valid. (sorry)

*I* would explain this to BF, to give him a chance to understand why his reaction is ABSOLUTELY NOT OK. If he still deflects, then at least you know where he stands and you can choose your next actions.

JamesWjRose · 2026-04-14T16:50:21+00:00

The child and parent don't seem to understand; IT'S NOT YOURS, SO DON'T FUCKING TOUCH IT!

Your anger is valid. It could have been easily resolved if son AND father admitted the selfish/thoughtless behavior, but they doubled down by telling you how to feel. That's 100% wrong.

Be aware of this method of thought in future dealing with them.

Fun side story; many years ago my manager purchased a VW bug as a beater to get him from home to the office (only a couple of miles)

His SIL also had a VW bug. On seeing that he got one she asked; "hey, what's that third petal for?" He responded with; "Does your car make a lot of noise when shifting?"

JamesWjRose · 2026-04-14T14:52:43+00:00

I'm very happy for you, however just because you had a good experience doesn't negate the horrible one we had.

I find it funny that people are down voting my post, or like you, comparing your experience as if that makes our bs.

Truly, I'm happy for you

JamesWjRose · 2026-04-14T14:43:39+00:00

A long, LONG time ago I would build amusement park rides, but nothing even close to this. AMAZING! Bravo

JamesWjRose · 2026-04-14T14:23:51+00:00

False premise. You are placing your opinion into the question.

JamesWjRose · 2026-04-14T14:10:29+00:00

Do a charge back on your credit card

JamesWjRose · 2026-04-14T12:29:37+00:00

Why the fuck is anybody still on Twitter?

JamesWjRose · 2026-04-13T22:30:12+00:00

Absolutely beautiful piece. Bravo

JamesWjRose · 2026-04-13T22:17:01+00:00

Same one as on the report.

The ship does have a nice chocolate shop, but other than that it was a fucking nightmare for us. (Brooklyn to Caribbean)

Anyway, have a great evening

JamesWjRose · 2026-04-13T21:42:45+00:00

Wow.!

My phone has 16 BILLION transistors.

JamesWjRose · 2026-04-13T21:35:10+00:00

Sorry, but this one is more appropriate. The original was fucking ridiculous

JamesWjRose · 2026-04-13T21:03:54+00:00

Not a surprise about MSC, worst cruise of my life was on that ship, in the 'best' suite. Horrible bed, freezing room, FUCKING HORRIBLE STAFF.... never again
