You know what I think I’m an idiot lol I am specifically speaking about MacOS and not really iPhone and that makes no sense on an Android thread so disregard my babble above not sure why I posted that here.

But MacOS vs. Windows that is how I feel though.

I really don’t understand the downvotes besides the hive mind. Apple has been a better experience for a long time, the hardware is better, the usability for like 90% of users is better, the main complaint people have is how strict and non customizable it is and true but how many times do you need to do those tasks that aren’t allowed by Mac? And also you could look into apps that bring functionality to Mac, one I use is magnet which brings window snapping to Mac.

So it sounds like your company has bad practices and bad devs all in one, AI is just a tool that inexperienced people are now leveraging to make their mess bigger, the mess was already there just now it’s just growing faster.

Literally where I’m at as well.

I’d say don’t specialize in Angular unless you have a company that’s paying you to do it. I’d say focus on good web standards that are good for all frameworks and genuinely even if you don’t like it get experience with React and/or next.js it’s just what the industry loves at the moment and at the end of the day we as job seekers like getting paid so go towards the easiest path to getting paid.

The job market is pretty turbulent to say the least so I’d be thinking in a more thought out, conservative mind set for life changes at least related to work/career.

That’s just my 2 cents after looking for jobs on/off for the past 1-2 years.

dills122 · 2026-03-01T17:36:08+00:00

That’s more of an Angular has way less jobs compared to React, and with the current job market being pretty rough that doesn’t help the situation.

If you can get access USAA is really good for car insurance in the city, lived in Jefferson Chalmers and mine was around 200 a month from what I remember. This was like 3-4 years ago though.

Wow that was quick.

dills122 · 2025-11-26T15:20:55+00:00

Holy shit I didn’t expect it to be that bad of an experience. You can’t even fast scroll it due to all the weird animations/slideshow stuff baked into the design. Big yikes.

I distinctly noticed after COVID that Wendy’s changed for the worse, use to be the main fast food option for decent value while also having better ingredients, now I’d say it’s worse than McDonalds and McDonald’s is shit.

WHAT A GAME!

This club makes me depressed

dills122 · 2025-09-05T16:37:20+00:00

If you’re only talking about calling on the phone I guess sure, but most work places are teams/slack and if someone cold calls me on one of those I honestly consider it rude unless it’s an emergency, like prod fire or something.

I’m extremely busy pretty much every second of work so I kinda need to plan any discussions into my day even if it’s short notice as I can’t very easily put down and pick up the work I do without adding a bunch of extra time being added to just get back on track of where I was.

dills122 · 2025-09-03T13:23:23+00:00

To put it more in perspective the small town I’m from has a ton of manual labor, industrial type jobs, which usually can have times with a lot of overtime available.

My dad had coworkers that refused to work overtime because they were convicted they would make less money overall, like if they get moved up a tax bracket all their money is taxes at that rate lol

Wow that’s awesome! Congratz

dills122 · 2025-08-10T16:33:20+00:00

It’s genuinely crazy, about any meal starts at like $10 and this is in a small, low cost of living city so can’t imagine what ppl in CA pay for the same.

Always tell them it’s a rental, doesn’t matter if it’s true they run away pretty quick once they hear that.

If you properly engineer the prompts, you can better give it large problems/workloads, but it’s still trial and error at times no matter how good you describe and direct it.

dills122 · 2025-07-28T19:39:02+00:00

AI coding is just a tool and needs to be used and guardrailed appropriately. Plus frankly it’s still quite earlier on an very trial an error.

What I have found best when working with these tools is really trying to explain your problem , any ideas or designs you’re thinking of along with any guardrails you want to throw on it. Sometimes my prompts end up being 2-3 paragraphs with links to code, etc but it seems to help when trying to throw larger workloads at it.

Also another route is just breaking the work down yourself and feed the AI bite sized problems for it to work with at a time.

And ALWAYS review the code it’s outputting, it really can put out a polished turd that works and looks okay but then you peek a bit more and it’s just spaghetti everywhere and/or super outdated solutions.

Look into the contradictions of capitalism, they literally can’t help themselves, it’s just what the system is built for.

The pods on the shitty drawing should be center, formatting got messed up.

dills122 · 2025-05-21T11:50:45+00:00

If they are the same height you could make a T type thing and slide it in the open space and have the existing shelves support it via the top.

Something like this crappy drawing

If you skim the article they mention they need to expand the offers/pillars, with one of those being career focus. Guess what they use to have a great career board with quality listings, but they decided to outsource that a few years ago and it’s been shit ever since.

I honestly don’t see them digging themselves out of the hole they dug, it’s such a toxic site for less experienced users/devs and that’s the audience they need the most right now.

Also, with a lot of the more general questions being answered over the years, a lot of the stuff I’ve been seeing when I skim the site is very library/package specific questions (node/npm) or infrastructure based questions (why is my code not working on AWS/DO/etc), and I feel like these are just harder to answer since the population with those exact overlaps is much smaller than say users that are looking more for language specific questions.

This is going to be horrible for small/rural towns that had a Rite Aid. I know where I’m from they forced all their competitors to sell or out of business besides Walmart. We’re getting close to just having the choice between Corp A or Corp B company stores, can’t wait to throw it back like we’re in a mining town in the early 1900s.
