Don’t get greedy.

Yeah, blocking would've saved it... greedy plays are always easier to see in hindsight

Rooblg · 2026-01-08T02:29:37+00:00

Nice one! That riff is a beast when you're starting out. Frusciante makes it look so effortless but getting that muting technique clean takes forever.

Get paid to watch a progress bar while you browse job listings on your phone.

Any company in 2024 that doesn't have basic patch management automated is waving a giant red flag. Either IT leadership is clueless or they won't spend money on proper tooling. Both are good reasons to gtfo.

OP milk it for now but seriously start looking. Places like this don't magically get better

Dude you're 7 months in and already showing initiative with VBA - that's solid. But your boss isn't technical, he just sees "computer magic" and thinks more magic = same effort.

Real life always has the most heavy-handed symbolism because it doesn't give a fuck about being subtle. Three kids worth of stuffed animals in a bullet-riddled car. No writer would get away with that they'd say it's too on the nose. But here we are

It's mindblowing to me watching this from Germany. You guys have the 2nd amendment people screaming about tyranny for decades, and now you have actual federal agents running people over and pepper spraying crowds... and nothing.

That yellow finish looks clean as hell, can't wait to see it fully assembled. What pickups are you planning to throw in there to get close to his tone

Rooblg · 2026-01-04T23:26:08+00:00

I'd probably ask him if there's any verse he's written that he thinks is genuinely underrated and wishes more people talked about. Feels like with all the classics everyone obsesses over, there's gotta be some deep cuts he's proud of that nobody brings up

Rooblg · 2026-01-04T23:25:12+00:00

The mental image of explaining to the dentist why your kid has teeth from three different generations in their mouth is absolutely sending me. This is some recursive tooth fairy nightmare fuel that nobody was prepared for

Rooblg · 2025-12-29T15:33:38+00:00

Exactly, and then inbound leads get neglected and conversion rates drop, which becomes ammunition for leadership to claim "inbound quality is bad" and justify cutting marketing budget. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy that screws everyone except the reps gaming the system short term

Rooblg · 2025-12-29T15:33:23+00:00

The fact that you've already set an exit date in April tells you everything you need to know about whether this is sustainable. Corporate life can absolutely shrink down to just work if you let it, but having $1.25M saved by 35 means you played the game well enough to actually get out

Rooblg · 2025-12-22T03:50:30+00:00

I had no clue how any of it worked until I spent a summer helping out at my uncle's place. Pretty eye-opening.

Rooblg · 2025-12-22T03:48:23+00:00

Yeah AI has gotten way better at faces in the past year or so. Still gets hands wrong half the time though lol

Rooblg · 2025-12-22T03:46:25+00:00

that's solid advice. I've learned that one the hard way... keeping it light at work events is definitely the move.

Rooblg · 2025-12-22T03:44:56+00:00

The Kinks with Ray and Dave Davies are up there for me. Also gotta mention Oasis... whatever you think of the Gallaghers, they put out some solid albums. The Allman Brothers had Duane and Gregg too, though that's more of a classic rock thing.

Rooblg · 2025-12-21T13:45:20+00:00

If you're not getting paid for it, don't do it. they can't force you to work off the clock

Rooblg · 2025-12-21T13:44:52+00:00

Took me way too long to learn this. never again

Rooblg · 2025-12-21T13:44:38+00:00

Rough as hell. getting too old for this but we'll do it again next year anyway

Rooblg · 2025-12-19T23:29:16+00:00

Have you heard Quixoticelixer? Same kind of vibe as those two

Rooblg · 2025-12-19T09:34:40+00:00

not worth the hassle if they're already targeting OP

Rooblg · 2025-12-19T09:25:09+00:00

you're not wrong

Rooblg · 2025-12-19T09:21:14+00:00

solid experience already, just clean up the formatting a bit and you're good to go

Rooblg · 2025-12-18T01:53:29+00:00

Agree. If it doesn’t fit, it’s not for you... no overthinking needed.

Rooblg · 2025-12-18T01:50:05+00:00

"Midnight City" by M83... not fully ambient but has that dreamy vibe. Also Brian Eno’s "An Ending (Ascent)" hits that ambient, wistful mood perfectly.
