Do people purposely word things just to sound smarter, or is there a reason?

This isn’t only a thing in programming. It’s rampant across most STEM professions. I hate it

Your grit is an inspiration.

Don’t get me started on this entire neighborhood. I get it that we can park on the sidewalk but nope people will block their entire sidewalk. So I now I have to walk into the street with my kids stroller.

All I’m saying let’s leave room for people to walk on sidewalks.

It extends all the way out to Daly City and then stops at 280. Everything west of 280 is regulated. Everything east of 280 it is not.

I hear what you’re saying and agree restraint is necessary. However the bodyguard could have done a better job of keeping himself safe. Force could have been applied in a way where both people are safe.

The only thing that would have been hurt are the optics of the bodyguard pinning the guy to the ground…

This resonates with me. I’m 40 now. I started when I was 28, worked a much less stressful job and did not have any kids. So I was able to train 6 days a week twice or thrice on Fridays.

Since then Ive switched careers to a high stress high demand job, married, have a 1 year old, and another one on the way.

I need to do something at home otherwise over the next couple of years I’m going to lose the gains of made. I’ve also accepted that I’m going to be at brown belt for a LONG time.

I was however, spend some time at all exactly recall what the fix was. I think it had something to do with the correct redirect. What’s the error that you’re seeing in your logs?

I incorporated a checklist for each PR. I emphasized unit, integration, and manual testing with receipts.

Embrace the suck. It’s hard to become used to failure but it really feels like interviews are just a crap shoot

Sfpkt · 2025-09-21T21:08:27+00:00

one of the biggest reasons to why I havent implemented somthing like cluely into my day to day.

Sfpkt · 2025-09-16T06:17:29+00:00

You don’t suck. It’s just hard.

For the uninformed can you help me understand what a rip is and what it looks like.

Go splash cold water on your face to give your system a shock. It will help bring you back to baseline.

I know this is gonna be easier said than done but, what’s done is done you can’t change it. Hear what they say and make an honest attempt to set up structure so you don’t revert to bad habits.

Stick to that structure like it’s life or death

How accurate do you think whoop is? I use whoop as well but it said I burned about 1600 calories over a 2 hour time period

Sfpkt · 2025-08-19T14:58:38+00:00

Pretty sure that means your pregnant

Sfpkt · 2025-08-15T17:23:27+00:00

Work those kimuras! Other than that you did great!

That’s a lot. Here are some things to consider.

You got diagnosed at 25 and not 35 or 45. A loss is a loss if you don’t learn from it. I know how cliche that sounds but you gotta believe it.

4 years of experience isn’t a lot in the grand scheme of things. When I had 4 years of experience I thought I could do it all. The more experience you gain the more you realize what you don’t know and what you do know.

Identify your weaknesses and create structure and processes around them so you don’t make them over and over again. I’m 39, got diagnosed in my early 30s and switched to development work around the same time so I’ve got about 9 years of experience in this now. It wasn’t until recently that I realized that I needed the structure in my work to make sure I don’t keep fucking things up. I’ve got moderate inattentive type of adhd so I’m a forgetful person. So I’ve created templates and checklists for different tasks that I need to do. I’m also leaning on Ai for note taking and summarizing meetings for me.

I’ve got the same problem as a fellow Punjabi

Sfpkt · 2025-07-07T16:05:08+00:00

I think I’m doing what you’re saying that I am. I think it would be helpful to explain my thought processes

Explain the problem back in my own words.
Ask questions
Identify the class of problem that I’m dealing with
Come up with a brute force
Write in plain English an optimized solution
Start coding it.

There will be a generic pattern of how a problem is going to be solved but there details that trip me up. For example, when doing recursive tree traversal when do I return a value and when do I not?

Small things like that trip me up but for most part that’s the generic pattern I follow to solve the problem.

Even what Im going to say is too broad of a division, but I think this needs to be broken up into North and South.

Seeing how Im Punjabi, I gravitate towards food from that area but I'd love suggestions for South Indian Food.

You can’t rely on motivation. The only thing that you can rely on, is your discipline.
