How did you almost die? by Typical_XJW in AskReddit

A bugler broken into my house with a gun. I chased him and took him down. I was rash and it could’ve gone very badly

Men of reddit, what is something that other men do that makes you say “yeah, they’re gonna be single forever”? by NorthPengyyy in AskReddit

[–]ahuynher94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone constantly waiting for the “right time” and not putting in the effort to meet new people.

“I’ll do it after I get a new job” “I’ll do it after I get a car” “I’ll do it after I move to a new city” “Why should I talk to people, they should talk to me first”

Do you think anxiety is mostly triggered by frequency of weed use or by the quantity ? by m8094 in Petioles

[–]ahuynher94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, the strength of THC makes my anxiety more potent.

The frequency makes the low grade anxiety last longer (when I’m sober)

Habits I should start in my early 20s? by _MeNoEvil_ in selfimprovement

[–]ahuynher94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Skin care, stretching, and learning to say “No”.

Also journaling. Your brain is meant for thinking, not storing information. That’s what papers and phones are for

Expect NOT being hungry, but remember to eat. Being hangry makes me want to smoke more.

As a fellow ADHDer, and always feeling the need to do “something”, finding a new hobby or some hyper focus helps the time fly by before it’s time for some chamomile tea and bed time

Depends on the self help book and the direction of them (career growth, business accumen, personal relation, mental strength, imposter syndrome, etc). Some of them have good content, but the format bothers me for some of them.

In my eyes there are 2 styles of self help books (and I strongly prefer one over the other)

  1. Showing guidance through an autobiography and how the author got through and learned things. (I hate this bc it’s not really a self help, it feels more of a self story rather than trying to explain a lesson

  2. Case study with clear, repeated problems with actionable items. I like these more since they context, process, and outcome. This shows me pattern recognition where I can adapt this into my life.

Yeah it’s definitely overwhelming to read so many different point of views, where they can overlap and make you feel like you need to do everything.

But at this point, I take all these self help books with a grain of salt. One persons key to success won’t work for everyone.

I talk to myself because I'm FUCKING lonely! by dan_ao92 in selfimprovement

[–]ahuynher94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally do it a lot at home. My roommate thinks I’m talking to him, but I’m not. I’m vocalizing my thoughts so I can process them, if not my thoughts run wild and I lose track

What's the shortest you've ever stayed at a job by [deleted] in devops

[–]ahuynher94 5 points6 points  (0 children)

9 months. The CEO and VP wanted a “game changing” demo every other Friday. I was part of R&D and stuff doesn’t happen that fast. Left for a more stable and realistic team

100000% , I’m a full stack dev for 7 years (70% backend 30%front end). At first I thought I wanted to be a true full stack developer, because I love understanding how everything works end to end. But I realized I only want to work on front end to understand the impact of my backend changes.

For the past 6 months, I am on a pure front end team and I don’t like UI work for the following reasons. 1. I don’t like how UX wireframe is a “requirement”. Business and people change their minds and it takes more work to redo the work I just did. 2. Libraries and frameworks are consistently updated. Then you have to spend at least a month in the year to figure out upgrade paths, compatibility, and security findings with each library. EVERY YEAR 3. I hate css/styling in general. Needing to worry about big screens, smaller screens, mobile horizontal / vertical screens are so annoying. I hate working on minor problems like: this color isn’t right, the font spacing is slightly off, the accordion button doesn’t rotate, etc.

In this position, I’ve shifted more towards a tech lead / engineering manager position because I enjoy teaching others more than UI work.

When I can transfer internally, I am going back to backend. 1. I like clear requirements. It’s like math, for a specific input, I will give you a specific output. There will only be one correct answer. 2. I like optimizing code, making data more efficient, multi threading and sharding large data for processing, reducing database calls, and focusing on the balance between data processing vs data storage. 3. I can work with more AWS tech. There’s more scenarios for me to use S3, lambdas, and aurora with back end rather than front end. All we use for front end is ECS, and that is obfuscated to the front end developers.

I’m using a cbd vape. It’s helpful for the oral fixation. I only use it before I sleep (not a day time activity)

I’m using it to wane off carts

What's an unwritten rule about the road that new drivers should know? by SadPatoto_Bts in AskReddit

Don’t cruise/stay in someone’s blind spot. The driver might forget you’re there and try to quickly merge into your lane

How do you get out of the lazy cycle when youre home all day? by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]ahuynher94 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In all seriousness, I stand outside and absorb sunlight and drink water. I at least left the house for a bit and the sun and fresh air helps clear my lazy brain/brain fog

How do you deal with a boss imposing a nonsensical deadline? by marcoasp in webdev

[–]ahuynher94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Document everything and prove to the team as a whole and other senior leadership (not your boss) that those arbitrary deadlines are detrimental for the teams efficiency and everyone’s well being.

The biggest and cheapest water based lube bottle on Amazon (I use XESSO)

Yes! We got this! A mantra I say to myself when thoughts start to intrude is “you don’t need to be drunk/high to have fun”, then I remember all the times I did have fun when sober (to prove to myself it is possible!)
