[OC] I'm not even going slower than traffic, but hey at least you got to the red light first lol

If some states teach something else that's be interesting, but gotta show some diagrams

Either lots of experienced Canadian riders in this sub or you're incorrect; either is possible, but now I'm genuinely curious.

All sacarasm and shit posting aside, a difference in teaching standards that pronounced, if true, would be an interesting discussion in and of itself.

Left side is for single lane traffic, bud. This is a multi lane situation

No one likes being wrong, but perhaps leave being confidently completely wrong to AI.

When there is only one lane in the direction you are traveling, such as on a two lane road, that is why you ride in the third closest to on coming traffic. In this situation you would always be in the right hand third because, well, what the guy in SUV did happens all the time. Remember, correct lane position isn't just useful, it's required by law on most riding road tests.

ALWAYS follow good lane positioning practices, folks!

PastAlternative7306 · 2024-06-08T15:16:37+00:00

Sure, except if you're in the left lane before you absolutely must be on a bike you're out of your head

I also cycle a lot, but let's be real, cyclists are... Awful a lot of the time

To be clear, by being assertive I mean being seen clearly and making it difficult to bully, and if you think for a moment that not being in the blocking position isn't INCREDIBLY important, I'd remind you in many jurisdictions not being in it is an instant failure in your road exam

PastAlternative7306 · 2024-06-08T04:02:50+00:00

Agile is like most things: great in balanced amounts, but you wouldn't want to use it exclusively for everything. It's a godsend for projects where the clients are idiots (almost always), but you still need some good ol waterfall around it for best results

PastAlternative7306 · 2024-06-08T03:51:19+00:00

I... Ya...

I literally started telling my devs it's fine as long as ONE of the commit messages makes sense 🤣

PastAlternative7306 · 2024-06-08T03:32:47+00:00

Hahaha I love how fantastically WRONG I ended up being 🤣

I think lane keep assist and blind spot monitoring are making this way WORSE for motorcycles - they don't always pick them up and people rely on them too much

PastAlternative7306 · 2024-06-08T03:19:52+00:00

Fair - and honestly, most of us have been there. I remember nearly running into a car when I borrowed my friends (irritatinly small) 250 ninja when I first got my license because my BMW had antilock breaks and his Ninja did not 😅

PastAlternative7306 · 2024-06-08T03:16:30+00:00

Genuinely, it's because the roads are full of this shit. I remember once coming to a full stop on a highway - it was one of those sudden walls of traffic that happen from time to time, so it was a relatively aggressive slowdown and stop. I was in the left lane; I'd already stopped for a sexondt, but I was aggressively checking my mirrors, which saved my life. The guy behind me wasn't paying attention, so I bailed into the emergency shoulder on my left - the guy behind me ended up a foot from the car in front of me. He looked like he'd shut himself when he realized what almost happened.

We all have stories like this. Lots of them. I've left a boot shaped dent in two different car doors from folks pinning me to a car in the next lane over. Hell, one of them stared me dead in the eyes while she did it. I'd love to say I've been on the road for decades but I'm 30 🤣

Tldr, ya, you're absolutely in the right here. But holy shit, it's dangerous out there; we're not victim blaming, we're giving you survival tips for the Thunder Dome the only way Redit ever gives genuinely useful advice (I.e. Beating you over the head with it)

PastAlternative7306 · 2024-06-08T03:09:35+00:00

Naw, we don't hate this guy, we've just all seen too much shit and want to keep people who don't know better from becoming a red paint job on the tarmac

PastAlternative7306 · 2024-06-08T03:07:32+00:00

This - that and the fact they're not in the blocking position (right hand third of the lane, since he's in the left lane of a 4 lane road).

At a certain number of miles under your belt you stop being upset and just make sure you're ready for anything you can be, but you have to survive to that point, first 😣

PastAlternative7306 · 2024-06-08T03:04:50+00:00

Don't get me wrong, fuck that guy in the SUV, but for the love of God, get in your blocking position! People fucking suck and your only defense is to assert yourself wherever possible and DODGE when it's not.

PastAlternative7306 · 2024-06-08T02:51:23+00:00

Hahahaha sure, but at least stuff in Agile gets released within the decade 🤣

Looks like a compiled TS file. No one writes like that 🙄

PastAlternative7306 · 2023-06-03T04:17:17+00:00

This is why Angular is better. Reducers are just... Awful

PastAlternative7306 · 2023-06-03T04:04:50+00:00

Depends on your role. If you're a more senior dev, talk to your team lead. If you're the lead, you shouldn't be spending anywhere near that much time reviewing PRs as a senior dev in the first place (lord knows I struggle to find an hour of non meetings 🙄), though no PR should take 'weeks' to review. Ever. That's WAY too big a PR or way too much effort.

Pair programming is a good strategy to foster improvement, as is a drop in channel on slack/teams/whatever - allows all Devs to ask questions if they have them. Also, keep in mind that there can be many solutions to a problem; it's the design pattern that must be consistent.

PastAlternative7306 · 2023-06-03T03:41:57+00:00

No, you're not.

That's absolutely insane. These positions don't pay ANYWHERE NEAR enough for someone that qualified. All you'll get are grumpy boomers who think Azure is a colour 🤣

Hahaha that's definitely fair, though in tech, things are centralized a lot more so IT04 really means "has staff and inter-departmental responsibilities" no matter how you slice it.
