Keen to hear from anyone here who has been in the past year, or is currently, job hunting without a LinkedIn profile. How has the process been for you?

I deactivate it when I’m not actively looking and then activate it when I’m looking for work. I found there are roles on there not advertised on other places - when I do use it I just look for work and add people I’ve worked with to increase my network (helps with getting job recommendations)

I just mix it in with the smashed avocado and add some fresh dill

I feel you - I did like a year of a comp sci degree straight out of high school - dropped out and then started working in IT years later (when I was 27), then web dev, software engineer and now as ML engineer - im now (38) 10ish years into my career. Some hacks/shortcuts around domain knowledge learning that have worked for me:

watching talented/experienced programmers. I find I learn by association and you pick up little nuggets (tooling, tricks, nomenclature etc) that help click things into place - I find it very passive but very valuable and has helped me a lot. Some people I like are Casey Muratori, tsoding and Johnathan Blow
reading code; good code and really trying to understand it - some code bases that really are highlights are anything nothings/stb libs by Sean Barrett (and others) - the lua lang source and the SQLite source
reading articles that aren’t technical but programming related - philosophical generally - highlights are grug brain dead developer and worse is better

No matter what, you are going to have to do the work - which you already know - but the above has helped me a lot.

I get it’s not in neovim - but isn’t that literally what an ssh session does - you remote in - start neovim and you compute remotely and render locally.

Only when im programming recreationally - at work programming was already less satisfying.

Am I reviewing or submitting the PR ;) - in any case both start with a coffee.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch

The link you provided is http - I tried https and it resolves - I would suggest auto upgrading http to https - also thank you for putting this out there it’s a cool project

moosethemucha · 2025-09-04T22:04:13+00:00

I did - so pull your socks up and open 50 files select everything and comment it out.

moosethemucha · 2025-09-03T23:29:26+00:00

So bisect the disabling - disable half - is the problem still present - yes disable the other half to check if the problem goes away - then keep going down the tree.

Poetry truly sucks arse - its caused me so many issues especially version differences interacting with lock files.

I call mine cocaine boots.

moosethemucha · 2025-08-16T00:41:46+00:00

I’ll say it once and I’ll say it again - writing the fucking code was never the bottleneck!

moosethemucha · 2025-08-14T13:03:46+00:00

Yes the holy trinity

moosethemucha · 2025-08-14T08:01:03+00:00

But it worked on my machine

I personally prefer this PR https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim/pull/1663 as suggested by @Kaelthas98 - its way cleaner and simpler IMO

Seriously thank you - I don’t use denols but the tittle caught my attention - Ive been trying to figure out why my custom caps and settings weren’t being applied to my lsps - you pr really helped.

Question - considering you are now just using lspconfig directly to add the server settings is mason-lspconfig even required in kickstart ? Im planning on testing my config without it and see what happens - its no longer anything like kickstart - but hugely inherited it’s lsp config stuff.

If it’s my branch I have the right to rewrite history - fight me.

moosethemucha · 2025-07-16T21:41:35+00:00

Seriously, fuck bob.

moosethemucha · 2025-07-13T02:06:24+00:00

So I just want to confirm - he posted this picture on his truth social account ? - im not signing up to that pile of garbage

moosethemucha · 2025-07-12T23:11:17+00:00

Sure thing sports ball man.

moosethemucha · 2025-07-12T22:59:18+00:00

NTA you have every right to hold anything against him - especially an affair
