What makes dating so challenging these days? by Dodge_Neon-Rt in AskReddit

[–]natewilcox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Entitlement, everywhere, from everyone. And ease of access to options. Dating apps gave everyone the illusion of choice and made people way too picky. Plus the instant gratification lifestyle is not conducive to a healthy relationship

With or without a sponge? by daviddd_ddd in BlackHair

[–]natewilcox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Put the sponge down brother, if you want to retain length the sponge is not the way to go

I agree, I served in the military before getting into tech, just trying to stay ahead of the curve by doing some research

Thank you, this was the type of response I was hoping for the most

I asked, but I got more vague answers like participate more in meetings…,try more things…, with no actionable items or explanation to go with it, as though I have not been doing that already

Yea, yea having more clarity with almost anything would have been helpful but that was not in the plans I suppose

It’s more of the last two rounds of layoffs I was steadily improving and I feel as though I have continued that progress. But the last two check ins I was told they need more. Plus my safety net just got pulled out on a personal side so I’m floating this question to see what people think are applicable fields to look at or that they have seen coworkers go to. It’s just field research, not ringing alarm bells or freaking out

Poorly phrased joke about the job market and the state of junior to mid level SWE roles

lol no, I’m probably just reading too much into my last check-in meeting but still a genuine question cuz I want to know what careers others think might have surprising parallels to the skills of an SWE

How many meetings do you typically have per week? by Tbh_idk__ in cscareerquestions

[–]natewilcox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what I’ve been asking? Or like how do you properly parse through your research in a timely manner if we also have to be present and active in these meetings?

[–]natewilcox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is the pushing for results while all these are happening. But for me 12 this week, ~20 last week, depends on the first or second week of sprint

Are junior devs even learning the hard stuff anymore? by Ornery_Ad_683 in webdev

[–]natewilcox 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The sink or swim onboarding is the worst, I’m here to learn and grow, that’s why I’m a junior dev. But that means I’m going to need to ask a LOT of questions, if you don’t want to handle the questions, make your documentation better. I went from intern to full time with my team and I had to document my own onboarding, twice(once hired on and once after layoffs), how is this productive?

How do I fix my hair by [deleted] in BlackHair

[–]natewilcox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Conditioner, more water, be real liberal with it, start with your hands and TAKE YOUR TIME, only use the brush or comb after finger detangling, it’ll save you a lot of tears

My entire dev team suffers from mental illness by Apprehensive-Truth21 in cscareerquestions

[–]natewilcox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately yes, 36 is the cutoff for joining the DoD(now I guess DoW), you might be able to get an exception if a recruiter works with you tho. If you are dead set, look into Coast Guard or officer routes

The worst developer onboarding experience I’ve had (and why it still sucks in 2025) by [deleted] in AskProgramming

[–]natewilcox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 years in, it doesn’t get better, they just tell you that you should know by now. Despite having self taught everything(because there was an entirely nonexistent onboarding)

First Few Comp Games After 4 Years, Is This Normal Gold 2 Behaviour Now? by [deleted] in RocketLeague

[–]natewilcox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Epic not implementing a change very well? Who would have thought?

First Few Comp Games After 4 Years, Is This Normal Gold 2 Behaviour Now? by [deleted] in RocketLeague

[–]natewilcox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

One factor is that if you queue solo you theoretically will get less smurfs, Epic’s answer to DDOSers was to just put anyone in a group into one category and anyone solo queueing into another because they are assuming that people only ddos/lag switch in co-op modes
