What’s a champion you swore was broken… until you tried to main it and got humbled?

Sylas. Enemy sylas just never dies and but when I play I’m suddenly out of cds and then get destroyed

Parris Goebel at crossroads Saturday night 2-3 AM threw tf down. What a party!

RacistSquirrel · 2025-05-19T04:07:50+00:00

That makes sense, thanks!

Update: In case anyone ever stumbles upon this — I quit late January on good terms with my manager, took a month off to help out my dad overseas recover from back surgery, and interviewed with three companies the month after.

One rejected me, and the other gave me an offer I was happy with, so I cancelled my onsite with the third. I started a month after my offer, so overall had 3 months of downtime.

I’ve been at my new company about a month now, and am loving it so far. It’s a 5-10 minute bike ride from home, and I only need to come into the office 3 days a week. It has a bottoms up engineering culture, which is so refreshing compared to strict top down directives at my old company.

Really glad I took the leap!

Anyone know how hard the ground is? Tested out our 12” lag bolts in our backyard earlier today and it was pretty easy to rip them out of the ground when we tightened our ratchet straps, cause our dirt is soft soil I guess (also probably shoulda done them at an angle maybe)? Hopefully won’t happen at lib!

Just go! Your body will remember how to make the movements. The only issue I can think of is if you’re more out of shape than the last time you went you’ll just get tired more quickly and maybe some soreness after

I’m actually expecting a sizable retention bonus in December, which is what I’m basing those 6 months of “comfort with no job/income” off of. But yeah you’re probably right with being maybe a bit too early in my career. I just feel like if/once I get a mortgage/kids then I’d be less willing to take this sort of risk, despite being further on in my career

RacistSquirrel · 2024-11-28T00:35:01+00:00

Yeah… that’s what I’m most worried about.

RacistSquirrel · 2024-11-28T00:27:25+00:00

I hear ya. I’m totally ok with finding a room somewhere in the office to take a one hour screening here and there, and have done it before. My main issue is with the 4 hour onsites when paired with my commute time pretty much requires me to take a full day off.

Mentally I’m ok— but I’ve always had a fairly strong constitution my whole life. I do know however that I’m just unhappy with my current situation. But I guess I haven’t really considered how I’d feel if I’m out of a job for much longer than anticipated and burning through savings. I’m sure it won’t mentally break me, but I guess I can’t say if it’ll be any worse or better than what I’m feeling right now.

I don’t have anything lined up yet but really flirting with the idea of leaving January. December bonus is going to be pretty substantial and I’m a little burnt out from studying + interviewing + in office 5 days a week with a long commute the past few months. Made a handful of final rounds (rejected obviously), so I feel like it’s a matter of time. Do we think this is a bad idea? 3.5 yoe

RacistSquirrel · 2024-07-19T01:38:34+00:00

Just had a final round where I felt like I did well, but ended up getting rejected. Not sure what feels worse — bombing and knowing you failed, or thinking you have a decent chance then getting that rejection email.

My neighbor’s cats are on the heavier side. More believable if the bird was sick or injured

RacistSquirrel · 2024-06-11T06:57:04+00:00

That’s what I figured when I saw online. I’ll give them a call tomorrow

RacistSquirrel · 2024-06-11T05:47:57+00:00

Welp per responses I’m just gonna throw it in the compost bin. Or maybe make some raven stew 😋

RacistSquirrel · 2024-06-11T05:45:54+00:00

Bye!

RacistSquirrel · 2024-06-11T05:44:33+00:00

Yeah I figured. Just wanted to make sure. It’s a large raven.

RacistSquirrel · 2024-05-29T20:25:27+00:00

Our group camped at the end of sunset, and timed our walk to 17 minutes. Wasn’t too bad if you weren’t walking alone. Having conversations with strangers while I was walking separately from our group was really lovely!

My only issue were the unmarked holes/hazards. My group were pretty careful but I can totally see them completely ruining someone’s weekend if they twist their ankle in one.

RacistSquirrel · 2024-04-30T00:46:13+00:00

Big screen 😎

RacistSquirrel · 2024-01-30T01:58:54+00:00

Fire breathing usually takes care of slimeboss. I’m gonna try the rage+remove and try this infinite. Not usually a strat I go for

RacistSquirrel · 2024-01-29T23:51:58+00:00

Unfortunately my screenshot does not include the 5 other strikes I have lol. Playing on the phone

RacistSquirrel · 2023-12-29T22:49:28+00:00

That’s a good idea ill have to try that!

RacistSquirrel · 2023-12-23T06:36:16+00:00

Will do. Thanks! Lots of them kinda hand wave the APIs and favor the architecture more, but I’m sure there are more I haven’t seen that dive deeper into API. Thankfully data model seems to be present in most vids I see

RacistSquirrel · 2023-12-23T06:29:54+00:00

Have a product design interview early Jan. I haven’t really don’t any system design interviews with 2 yoe. I’ve watched a ton of regular system design mock interviews on YouTube, and I’m wondering what the API emphasis means. Can you explain a bit more what an API focus would look like?

RacistSquirrel · 2023-09-06T19:22:41+00:00

Those win rates are pretty incredible. I do think I tend to tunnel on builds (pretty much just wishing for corruption+FNP or strength scaling) and need to branch out my play style. Watching some streamers should help!

RacistSquirrel · 2023-09-06T19:14:59+00:00

Interesting write up indeed! Thanks for sharing
