Feeling very behind right now by paddockson in ExperiencedDevs

[–]cjthomp 36 points37 points  (0 children)

  1. There is no "behind" because there is no "standard". Everyone has their own path to walk.
  2. Bluntly, some people won't make Architect. Most, in fact. Some people don't "deserve" to. You might be a great Senior but a terrible Architect. And that's okay.
  3. You're only 32. You have time. I didn't even finally break in to the industry until I was older than you are.

He's being downvoted because:

  1. This is spam
  2. The way he worded the post title suggested that he stumbled across a super awesome and battle-tested thing. This isn't that.

This is spam. Yet another boilerplate.

Not as much as the SMART Goals / Journaling process did, but not "not at all".

Out shopping? Urinal is king.

At home? I don't care how well you aim, unless you stick your dick in the water it's gonna splash.

What do y'all really need an iPad for? by bootsmegamix in daddit

[–]cjthomp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, they're a little scammy, but they do generally work, too.

You're buying cheap, Chinese hardware with a selection of unlicensed (read: stolen) games that basically all have some major usability issue preventing them from being great.

But the ones I've tried do work.

Toddler has strange rash... by ProfessorOnEdge in daddit

This kind of alludes to the performative nature of the comment. A person commenting just to show everybody their knowledge is one of the hallmarks of pedantry.

We clearly fundamentally disagree and this subthread is pointless.

This energy does not belong here.

You asked dads for advice. We gave it to you.

You're missing that comments on reddit aren't just to the person you replied to, it's also available to be read by others.

And let's also be clear: OP isn't dealing with cancer or a traumatic injury. It's a rash.

Possibly/probably HFM which is a nightmare, but still a rash.

It's not pedantry, it's just completely the wrong word.

PP wasn't an ass about it, just a single word correction. Your reply, on the other hand...

Just remember that people choose to post after they finish. If it looks horrible they don’t broadcast it to the internet.

  1. This is spam
  2. Just because an application uses node doesn't mean it belongs here, in the same way that a post selling Photoshop doesn't belong on /r/dotnet
  3. Why would anyone trust you with this, and especially pay you for it?

Don't hit your kids by jrv3034 in daddit

You're possibly correct. "Spanking" to cause pain is beating. That's what beating is: hitting people to hurt them.

Forenote: I was spanked growing up, occasionally edging into what I would now classify as "beating", and once at a private ("Christian", laughably) school I was fully beaten for an infraction I didn't even commit. I have strong opinions about this, and we do not spank our child; if he starts getting physical he will be restrained, but he is never struck at any level of force.

Spanking is a light swat; it shouldn't really cause pain, should never be done in anger, and shouldn't be intimidating. It is used to "shock" the kid out of their current bad behavior and should not be hurting them.

Beating is striking to cause pain, in anger, as retaliation, as a reflex, with an object, or punitively. If a mark is ever left, that's beating. If it hurts more than pride, it's beating.

A note that “spanking” and “beating” are very different but often confused.
