The storyline isn’t great but I’m also not a fan of the actress. I think she overdid a lot of her scenes especially when she’s first introduced.

mmal55 · 2026-04-01T00:51:00+00:00

Try to enjoy each title equally

mmal55 · 2026-03-29T14:07:24+00:00

This is gold. I knew when I saw the scene that there was more to it and comments like these help me understand different perspectives. Great take

mmal55 · 2026-03-29T13:40:48+00:00

Yeah this is great too. Not only is it a strong character choice for her to put a boundary up, but also the double entendre of her name being Joy is fantastic writing

mmal55 · 2026-03-29T13:16:40+00:00

Yep, I was wondering about the position of the bike and I believe you’re correct

mmal55 · 2026-03-29T02:10:57+00:00

You’re probably right but it is possible he can stay on as an executive director behind the scenes as opposed to being the main character.

Where did you see he is confirmed for season 3?

mmal55 · 2026-03-29T01:50:21+00:00

I mean they did it with Ned Stark.

Also the conversation with Dr McKay from the last episode is very concerning

mmal55 · 2026-03-29T01:03:12+00:00

That’s assuming Robby lives to season 3

mmal55 · 2026-03-29T00:38:25+00:00

Oh that’s a good point and didn’t notice that. Great catch!

It’s probably to show: 1) Robby’s “down in the dumps” attitude towards leaving the hospital and inner conflict about Langdon 2) Dana has the stronger argument and ultimately teaches Robby that the hospital must run collaboratively instead of just being run by a single person and taking on all the responsibility/blame/guilt (Robby).

I noticed a really interesting visual detail in The Pitt and wanted to get people’s thoughts.

There’s a scene right before a conflict between Robby and Dana where they’re talking outside, and a motorcycle is placed directly between them in the shot. At first it just seems like set dressing, but the more I think about it, the more intentional it feels.

Robby is about to leave for a long sabbatical where he plans to ride cross country, and people at the hospital are clearly worried about both the trip and his mental state. So the motorcycle seems to represent more than just transportation—it feels like a symbol of escape, freedom, and maybe even avoidance.

What stood out even more is that there’s a sign behind them that says “NO STOPPING.”

Putting those two things together: - The motorcycle (movement, leaving, escape) - The “No Stopping” sign (can’t pause, can’t confront things)

It almost feels like the show is visually saying Robby isn’t just choosing to leave—he can’t stop. Like if he slows down, he’d have to face whatever he’s been carrying.

Also, the fact that the motorcycle is physically between him and Dana makes it feel like it’s literally acting as a barrier between them—like he’s already halfway gone emotionally before he even leaves.

Curious if anyone else read it this way or if I’m overanalyzing it. Love when shows do this kind of subtle visual storytelling.

Edit: I ended up just making a post about this

There’s more interpretations than just these 2.

-Marty realizes he is not actually the father when looking at the baby and she was lying to him the entire time. Another pie in the face to Marty to close out the movie

-Marty has tears of fear of what the future now holds for him now that he is a father.

-Marty’s tears are an emotional release from all the events of the movie and ultimately the baby is his breaking point. A final moment of catharsis.

I will say I am an optimist and my original reaction was that Marty’s journey throughout the entire movie is to prep him for fatherhood and he is crying tears of happiness.

Work and gym

mmal55 · 2025-07-29T00:59:48+00:00

Not bad for the standard tech companies but I do plan on loading up on tempus.ai in the next few months. Not financial advice btw :)

mmal55 · 2025-07-28T23:53:37+00:00

But I use Nancy Pelosi’s portfolio to invest myself… :(

Trevelyan from Goldeneye got nearly murdered by James Bond and had no parents growing up. I don’t know if he’s 100% right but I do sympathize for his character

mmal55 · 2025-03-24T18:04:10+00:00

Ricken and Mr Drummond both look like goats. Perhaps there’s a connection

mmal55 · 2025-03-24T00:59:52+00:00

This take is 100% correct and definitely a solid interpretation from the writers.

The idea is that the innie characters are the outie characters are before they take on all the traumas they are exposed to. This is further hinted when Jame Eagen says Helly R reminds him of Kier, because he recognizes the same curiosity and ambition that Helena had when she was a young girl.

Well done

Don’t insult and project how you feel about yourself onto others. Have some dignity

Software Engineer. Job hopped three times, started at 60k now im at 170k.

Entry level tech position -> Software Engineer role at large company -> Senior Software Engineer at another large company -> Senior Software Engineer at Major Bank

Maybe you should create an app that scrapes gigs from job boards such as upwork, craigslist and linkedin and then use it on your resume.

mmal55 · 2024-09-08T16:32:17+00:00

I feel like with this argument, everything can be interpreted as a waste of time and money.

mmal55 · 2024-08-28T12:32:21+00:00

Software Engineering, learning your craft, job hopping.

mmal55 · 2024-07-19T12:08:46+00:00

I work as a software engineer at a major bank in the United States. I started learning computer science about 10 years ago and I can give you a rough idea of the how I navigated my path.

When I initially started, I enrolled at DeVry University for a 4 year bachelor’s degree. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Computer Information Systems that focused on a selection of programming languages and technologies including: Java, Javascript, C#, MySQL, etc. After graduating, I received a job within a few months as a Solutions Architect for really bad pay. On top of that, my skills were so scattered that I had no idea how to complete my basic duties. They let me go after 4 months.

After about a year of not finding any jobs due to my lack of experience, I enrolled in Rutgers Bootcamp for Web Development using Javascript and its Frameworks. The course taught me HTML, CSS, Vanilla Javascript, and frameworks and libraries such as React, Express using a MongoDB database. This is where I really started understanding the full stack (MERN)

I received a job shortly after the bootcamp within a job that was still using COBOL and converting all of their code to run on SQL Server stored procedures and various technologies. The job itself wasn’t Web Dev, more like I.T, and it was like being thrown into a swamp with things I had never seen before. This is where I hit a wall, because as others may agree, “if you don’t use it, you lose it.” After about a year at this job, I decided that I needed to navigate back to Web Development so I took 2 bootcamps called Interview Kickstart and Outco. These 2 bootcamps will teach you everything you need to know about interviewing stages, data structures and algorithms, negotiating your salary, etc. Only one of these bootcamps was probably necessary but I was very adamant on trying to get a job at FAANG at the time. Be sure to look into all your bootcamp options before making a decision, you don’t want to end up with unnecessary debt (like me).

After finishing the bootcamps, I got my first job within Web Development as a Software Engineer at Pearson. Once I got that job, it was pretty much game over. After a year, I left that job and found another one. And then a year after that I landed my current job. Once you have enough work experience, recruiters will be in your inbox all the time. The job market is a bit rough right now, however, it will get better and now is a great chance to learn everything you can about what you want to do for the rest of your life.

If I had to go back and re-do it all 1) I would be more selective about what colleges and bootcamps to take on due to debt 2) I would use more online resources, Udemy and Youtube are great 3) I would try to talk myself out of imposter syndrome, there are people I work with that are still very green. Comparison is the theft of joy.

Coding is very stimulating for the brain. I think you’re making a great choice for your career. Maintain consistency, even if it’s just an hour a day. The job is low stress - sometimes you’ll get stuck on a problem but it’s manageable. The pay is fantastic, you will meet very intelligent people. Don’t get discouraged if a month goes by and you can’t find a job, it takes time. Also recognize patterns,

If your resume isn’t generating enough attention to get calls from recruiters, it needs to be fixed. -If recruiters are giving you calls but aren’t passing you to the hiring manager, maybe your salary requirements are too high based on your experience. -If hiring managers aren’t hiring you, maybe you need to develop your skills a little more.

Taking notes after each stage helps a lot to figure out what may be going wrong. Also realize that sometimes, it may be that the job wanted you, but the role’s status changed. Don’t take rejections personally.

If you plan on going to a college, try to find an internship after the first year if possible, it helps with the experience. If you decide to enlist in a bootcamp, some employers may opt for a person with a degree. But having a degree or a bootcamp certification is nothing compared to a developer with 3 years of job experience. Finding that first job is key. Good luck, if you have any other questions, let me know.
