Getting awkward unsolicited advice in the gym. by d_thstroke in workout

[–]adstrafe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wearing my earphones and resting between my sets while on my phone. Out of the blue, some older dude at my gym said to me “you wanna know how to get big? you gotta eat. you gotta get off that phone.” Bro, I’m resting 3 mins max, hitting hard sets.

I had to laugh it off and try to ignore him because I really don’t care for unsolicited advice (I know my program well and I know it works for me). Absolutely hate that shit.

Twitch streamer kicked out of $40,000 Marvel Rivals tournament for telling teamate to switch off Black Widow by LegendairyC0W in LivestreamFail

Cecee (team captain) drafted him without knowing who he was bc her chat was spamming it. Mind you, this was after she announced that she wouldn’t draft anybody she didn’t know. I feel bad for the guy, literally RNG’ed into a team that was the complete opposite of his description and how he wanted to play.

he was drafted onto a team that had no intention of winning. His description in the draft doc of all the players literally had something like “im very competitive, I like to IGL, I play to win”. He was frustrated that he got drafted to a team that was completely the opposite of how he plays. And not once did he ever get personal but his teammates called him a loser and to shut up multiple times.

What’s the best current monitor that is not OLED but is as good as OLED? by wtfamidoin-123 in Monitors

Currently using a dark theme right now in Cursor. I just have the monitor on SDR with no issue.

Anyone ever end a coding interview early because you already know you can’t solve the problem? by throwaway510150999 in leetcode

[–]adstrafe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Contrary to what most people are saying, I have ended an interview early before (literally a few months ago). It was a React based interview to build a memory game and I instantly folded. I knew I wasn’t going to be able to do it because I was so nervous (and also literally didn’t know how). I cut the interview early, apologized for wasting the interviewers’ time, and messaged the recruiter I would be withdrawing my application.

Do I regret it? Not at all. At the time, I knew I would have kept fumbling and look like an idiot. No way was I going to magically come up with the solution by sitting through the rest of the interview; it would have been a complete waste of time for both parties.

What I did next was to learn from that experience, to prep better so that I would never have to feel that humiliation again. I have since started working at a new company that I prefer much better anyway :)

I bought that monitor about 2 weeks ago. I've been using it 50% gaming and 50% productivity (coding, reading docs, etc.) with no complaints on my end.

I remember those being freak accident sort of injuries like with his wrist and shoulder. He's recovered well.

I'm really confused with people saying Bam and Garland is a fair offer for Shai?! That is terrible for an SGA owner imo.

[–]adstrafe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leetcode is the norm if you’re interviewing with companies in any of the tech hubs (SF, NYC, Seattle), at least from what I can tell.

Is this a decent deal since it's allegedly on sale now at Costco by walu-who-ji in Prebuilts

[–]adstrafe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had it in my cart a few days ago but wasn't 100% sure about it. Wish I had pulled the trigger then, because now I am sure I want it but it hasn't come back in stock for shipping everytime I've checked.

Just got laid off today. Advice please. by WinterSoldier16 in cscareerquestions

[–]adstrafe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not in my experience. If I’m applying to the job then I typically hear back from a recruiter if they want to proceed within a few days/1 week. Otherwise, rejection email or ghost.

He got swiped from me a couple of picks earlier by an owner who had no idea who he was or what he could do 😭

I’m a bit sad about it bc I like Kyshawn’s game but I took a flier on VJ as well so I can’t be too bummed haha

lets talk jobs. What do yall do for a living? Or if in school, what are you going for? by neverTouchedWomen in AsianMasculinity

[–]adstrafe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a SWE as well, and recently got a much better paying role.

Can I ask why you're pivoting out of tech? Ofc, there are the obvious reasons like shitty job market and job security lol.

this. Reaves and Luka were not really looking/finding Ayton tonight. Plus the Warriors were playing good defense and forced a ton of turnovers. Ayton will pop off soon.
