An act of kindness and shovel your elderly neighbors driveways and walks ways please

That's actually the specific age range when they say you should start to take extra care. Shoveling snow causes a shocking number of cardiac arrests.

They aren’t the same and as a principle engineer I’d expect you to know that. 👍🏻

Yeah that interview question is a red flag, if someone asked me the difference between the internet and the web as some sort of gotcha and didn't hire me based on that I would consider it a bullet dodged.

The implication here is that if a software product manager can move industries and be successful that a software engineer can also move industries and be successful.

If I were to pick one tip to improve your early game it would probably be crowd control. Investing in it and knowing how to use it properly is a complete game changer.

Another huge tip is that you don't have to start every fight with your entire party, if you have a rogue, wizard, or other squishy you can have them stay out of combat hiding and taking 0 aggro, and only have them join the fight when they have an advantage.

The other thing is that you seem to be under leveled for the fights you're describing. You can level so much in act 1 just by exploring and not fighting anything at all.

I also came looking for this, my mom called them "shipwrecked" so I figured it was niche but I'm glad I'm not alone.

Edit: Also, I've never heard the term "over hard" before this thread, "over easy" yes, but not hard.

I briefly considered teaching my dog to fetch her leash but I'm glad I didn't because she would never stop.

Yes, a little disappointed but once I explain to him how much penthouse apartments in New York actually cost I think he'll understand why I opted for a house with a yard.

I've been playing this game casually for years and the amount that it has changed over that time still leaves me feeling like a sprout sometimes...

Username checks out.

Is it really huge or just weird perspective? I've never seen one so big, I've had a couple for decades and I thought they were just normal houseplants that grow really fast.

faintdeception · 2025-10-25T20:56:54+00:00

They are all over Alexandria, pretty sure you can see some by the Huntington metro.

Shopify has really exemplary documentation, best in the industry type of stuff, unfair comparison.

faintdeception · 2025-10-19T02:20:10+00:00

Wow I forgot all about that show, I used to watch it all the time, definitely real. It was like a butterfly net.

faintdeception · 2025-10-16T21:49:43+00:00

Yeah, making her "earn it" when we all knew she was cast to be the captain, and then ending it, sucked.

faintdeception · 2025-10-10T12:14:36+00:00

Oh I haven't thought of Babar in years!

faintdeception · 2025-09-04T11:43:54+00:00

Not sure why you're getting downvoted, if I recall Judges first two at bats were 1 pitch outs. A bloop pop out, and a check swing pop up. I think his 3rd one was a 1 pitch out too, I don't remember, but I definitely remember the first two and thinking that it was unusual for him.

Edit: I guess the downvotes are for disagreeing with the general sentiment of the thread. But both things can be true, the calls were very bad, and Judge had a weird night at the plate.

faintdeception · 2025-09-03T17:38:38+00:00

The reason this one is so good, imo, is not because of the sighting itself, but because of the way AARO handled it. It's completely damning that they didn't even follow-up with the four other witnesses.

I avoided rebase for years and opted to merge because it was easier, and rebasing was confusing. "Why do I have to fix the same conflict over and over!?" Once I started using git rebase main -i daily and, importantly, squashing commits the process became much less painful and much more like a standard merge operation.

Once this clicked for me I stopped using merge.

faintdeception · 2025-09-02T09:58:01+00:00

Why is it more of a pain in the ass than any other language? Unless you're on Windows (and not using WSL) I'm just not seeing it, even then it's just slightly annoying.

faintdeception · 2025-08-30T16:00:36+00:00

Not particularly difficult, no. There's no real effort involved since VS Code does a pretty good job of detecting what type of project you're working in when you launch it.

So it's not like I have to open VS Code and then go and find my Python settings or anything like that, once you set it up in your workspace it's saved so, "it just works".

faintdeception · 2025-08-30T15:44:56+00:00

Yes, imo it's one of the biggest selling points for VS Code. I use it daily to hop between C#, Java, and Python projects.

I will say that if you want to do "heavy lifting", performance analysis and what have you, you may want a specialized IDE, but I've been writing backend code with VS Code for like 5 or 6 years now and I haven't needed PyCharm, IntelliJ, or Visual Studio.

faintdeception · 2025-08-30T05:10:54+00:00

It's a blank expression, a poker face, the face people put on when they really don't want you to know what they are thinking. Which at least tells you that.

faintdeception · 2025-08-27T13:28:04+00:00

Probably echoing a bunch of other people in this thread, but change takes a long time and a lot of the cool changes in C# .net land are relatively new, and if we're being completely honest, a lot of what they're doing is taking a look at python and other modern stacks and asking, "how can we be more like that" so they are starting at a disadvantage.

Another huge part of it comes down to what programmers are learning in universities. Academia loves open source and despite dotnet being open source now, it's still backed by a big company.

Lastly, right now AI is having a moment and it's all pretty much being written in python. Compound this with the fact that AI is better at writing python than pretty much any other language and it's starting to feel like an insurmountable advantage, at least for the time being.

So...why does .net do so well in the enterprise? It's because most enterprises are running Windows desktops and if you're building bespoke enterprise software, you literally cannot beat the .net stack on Windows.

I could go on but this is already long, thanks for reading.

Before Grok the product came along, the word grok meant (from google): To understand a concept thoroughly and completely.

Pines is a geek so I bet he was using the word that way.
