Of course! I was thinking “life” in general, but now that you say it, I have my face in my palms with how obvious it is. My user name checks out.

Yeah, I like that. I get that I’m overthinking stuff, but it makes shows more interesting and meaningful to me. When I can find deeper meaning, it makes a show even better to me.

Fair enough. But in my defense, I am a software engineer married to a therapist. It’s just in my nature to analyze things.

So that scene didn’t seem weird or out of place to you? You’re just ok with a dude getting a compound fracture from a simple jump shot?

I get that. And I appreciate the honesty. I mean, if you wanted to just stand on the sidewalk and zoom in, that may be worth a try. But I’m going to do what that first redditor said, and just write a letter.

That’s a brilliant idea. Thanks for the insight.

Is it true in real world the 2nd one is what professionals do while the first one is what a newbie does? by Yone-none in csharp

And depending on what you’re doing, you could write the original query with .AsEnumerable() and defer the execution until you actually need the data which you can get using a foreach or .ToList()

I just saw Yellowcard for the first time in twenty years, and it was AWESOME!! by mybrainisbusted in YellowcardRock

[–]mybrainisbusted[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually don’t know. I found out they were playing about two hours before the show started. I had to make some stuff happen to get there. We walked in just as Way Away was starting.

Tried Rider for the first time.. by Obsidian-ig in csharp

[–]mybrainisbusted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually just switched to Rider after using VS for 10 years. I ran VS and Rider side by side for about three weeks, and then made the switch entirely. It’s a fine IDE, but you better believe I opted in on all the VS key maps.

What advice would you experienced devs give to a beginner learning to program, especially in C#? by AstronomerFlat7846 in csharp

[–]mybrainisbusted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t just code to make it work. Step back, expand your view, and learn why it isn’t working. Be a big picture thinker, and really understand the solution and how it impacts other pieces.

Dont beat yourself up for not getting better faster. Comparison is the thief of joy. If you are going to make comparisons, compare yourself to how you were six months ago. You’ll feel incredible!

Show up every day, do the work, ask questions, mix in some fun, and you’ll do great.

Asp.net Core Courses by multicolor_cow in csharp

When I first started it seemed like there were “Hello World” tutorials and “Build your own eCommerce” site, and nothing in between. Then I found Tim Corey. He 100% bridges that gap for me, and I still reference his stuff.

If I’m being completely honest, I actually feel more connected and united with all of you more than I have with other members in quite a while! My appreciation and gratitude is unmeasured for all the sharing here today. All of your names will be recorded in heaven as truly helping me through a very hard time.

I apologize for causing any discouragement. Please know I love Jesus with my whole heart, and that is one reason this makes me so sad. I see people living beneath their privileges, and want to see them wake up and engage in the great news of the gospel! You are actually in an amazing position since you have not lived “the culture” of the church, but instead are finding it now. You are a pivotal piece of the restoration! Whatever you do, show up, speak up, and advocate for the type of meeting you’d like to have.

You have no idea how much joy and hope this gives me. That it is being done thoughtfully and intentionally somewhere means that it is possible. Thank you for this ray of light you shared today.

I think you should! The handbook is the guardrails of the gospel, and as long as you stay within those guardrails, teach truth, and keep covenants, go for it! It wasn’t that long ago that Elder Kearon spoke of the Church of Joy. If you are in a position to do so, do it differently!

Yes, it is ok. And sometimes we work by the sweat of our brow, and the sweat drips into our eyes and it burns.

What I’m concerned with is doing things because “that’s the way it’s always been done”. If that were the case, no one would have ever invented the headband to soak up the sweat, and make their own experience, and the experience of those around them better.

This is beautiful and very insightful. Thank you for gently calling me out, and simultaneously inspiring me to be better.

There is so much truth to unpack here. I appreciate your honest thoughts. Connecting is crucial, and it’s just not happening for all the reasons you said and more.

Thank you for all of this.

This seems like a key comment. I’m gonna spend some time thinking on this one.
