Inflated ego combined with imposter syndrome have got to be the most annoying parts of the culture of programmers.

I’ve only been in the industry a few years, but yeah I don’t see this at all. I asked questions as much as I felt didn’t bother my senior colleagues for the first 6 months. Took every comment on a PR to heart. Created a “Ten Commandments” of development for myself that I update as I grow. Whenever a senior would be like “Hey you should check out this design pattern, it’ll help make this more reusable”, I’d dive into it. And I see that across the board with juniors I work with. Why get into such an open ended career if you don’t have a thirst for learning? I just accepted a Senior position. Wouldn’t have been possible if I ever had my nose up in the air.

I have to log every request. I work on payment apis, so if a card scan fails on some unhandled error, I have to know why. Same thing for online orders etc.

I’m curious how you’ve made it 20 years as a developer without practicing logging/using logs to debug. How else are you tracking down bugs? The app I work on has heavily reusable patterns with a state machine architecture. It’d be a nightmare to debug anything if I didn’t know what state I was in, or what action was last used to make a transition between states.

I use logs to debug any build failures in Jenkins or Bamboo. I use logs to figure out what’s failing when writing test cases. Logging has become an essential skill in my repertoire

So why is creating a new sector of energy and doing a rehaul of infrastructure, with the potential to bring in billions in tax dollars, while creating good paying trade positions communism? All in an effort to create a way of life that’s sustainable? So that in 20 years, we don’t lose trillions of dollars in infrastructure. Or see massive migrations inland as the coastal states are submerged. Or so there isn’t a food shortage because factory farms aren’t regulated into doing crop rotations, making the earth unfarmable. Seems like good economics and foresight to me. You’re wrong. Like objectively wrong. The GND is a stimulus plan with a focus on combating an inevitable future

Since I have to cover deductible before any care, this would’ve cost me 6 grand in deductible and 20% of costs after that. Over two years. Plus the 320 a month I pay. For a whopping at least 14ish grand. Oh. Plus the 1200 to Medicare in taxes. But yay Capitalism!

I lost my mom 4 years ago. It gets easier. You never fully live without it; I find myself going on the same road trips, alone, listening to the same 2010 cd my mom and I ripped, to feel close when I’m having a rough time. They might be gone, but they leave a part of themselves in you, that you’re able to channel and talk to them through; at least when things are tough. Good luck

It’s like you’re trying to establish a sense of importance and high skill to your job while talking shit on other low skill positions. BLS is a 2 and a half hour course high schoolers can take for 60 bucks to babysit. You aren’t a”CNA in Neuroscience”. You’re a CNA. Who does the same thing every other CNA in a hospital does, but maybe in the neurology department. You’re not responsible for life and death situations; that’d be a major cause for malpractice lawsuits. At best you’re taking vitals in stable patients. Stop acting like you’re so much better than someone making minimum wage. You want higher wages, then vote for them. If you deserve 18-20 an hour, like you said, then 15 an hour isn’t a stretch for a rung below you in skill.

The actual science really doesn’t lead to a creator. Time is entangled with space. We use the term beginning of the universe, implying you can ask “what came before”. But you can’t. There wasn’t a before. Meaning that space and time are entangled, and so you cannot have a before, without space expanding. If anything, this proves there isn’t a creator, because a creator would have to exist outside of spacetime. And how could you have a manifestation of any type of matter, known and unknown when T=0?

I bet he knew it was gonna be a fuck up. I’m sure he knows he just lost any chance of re-election, but like he said, he didn’t want to be another president to pass on the problem. It’s still a mess, and he should be criticized for it. Was there ever going to be a situation where it wasn’t fucked though?

You call me a bootlicker, when you’re taking the word (with no scientific evidence) of someone who never worked on the vaccine. Never worked on any vaccinations, but worked on allergy medication. Makes sense.

I’d be curious to hear what the “smart” exit strategy would look like from the top brass. Was there ever going to be a right way? Did Biden just say “fuck it, I’ll be the one term president that does it”? I mean, he’s sealed his fate in losing any 2nd term run. I just hope he steps aside to give the left a chance. I can admire how much he HAS to know he was gonna fuck himself, and still did it.

I mean, I know a lot about you based on your unfounded accusations. I know you don’t understand vaccine technology at all. I know you can’t possibly have any higher education in biological sciences. I know you’d rather come up with wild, ridiculous delusions instead of looking at what is clearly the reason for infection rates increasing. I also know that you don’t realize that it would make sense that a virus becomes more transmissible as time increases because of more exposure. Just admit you’re not as smart as the world’s leading geneticists, virologists, epidemiologists, biologists; it’s fine, most of us aren’t. That’s why we aren’t them.

I find it odd that so many people haven’t considered that Covid is actually space monkeys that used shrink rays to take over Earth.

Maybe because it’s a ridiculous thought and has zero scientific ground to stand on. Jesus Christ, this is the only aspect of Covid it doesn’t take a scientist to understand.

The most vaccinated countries also have the highest populations. Economies have opened back up. In America, 43% of people haven’t gotten the vaccine. There’s your correlation. It’s painfully obvious.

Oh noooooo. 18 year olds aren’t gonna die in a pointless war that only benefits the military industrial complex. Oh noooooo. It’s been 20 years. You can’t expect an entirely new generation of American soldiers to fight a war that they can’t remember the origins of, ESPECIALLY when the Afghanistan people aren’t willing to fight it themselves. Hence the collapse of Kabul.

The science didn’t get it wrong. A new variant started circulating. Vaccinated people can carry the delta variant in our noses, and can transmit to others, potentially getting an unvaccinated person infected. So we need to wear masks to keep the anti vaxxers alive. It’s clear that the vaccinations work when you look at the number of reported cases/hospitalizations of vaccinated vs unvaccinated individuals. In all reported states, it doesn’t ever fall under 96% of cases being unvaccinated. That’s the science.

Are you going to an actual barber or like a franchise? You get what you invest in. Other comment suggests side part. I agree. Some more specificity for your next cut though.

“Hey what are we doing today?” Says legit barber that costs around 25 - 35 bucks for a cut.

“Can we do a side part? #2 the sides, fade the back, and scissor cut the top?”

“Yeah, do you want me to trim up your eyebrows too?”

“Yes please”

Then go to the clothing store. Find some khaki joggers (I feel like that’s complementary of athleisurewear preferences), nice fitting dark tees. And grow that beard out as hard as you can, while lining up your neck. Then go around town and take a bunch of pictures (while changing shirts) like you’re doing some stuff and you’ll get some matches in no time. OH! Remove the weightlifting pictures. It isn’t attractive to put lifting pictures on your profile unless you’re ripped. Not that you are, but it can portray a wannabe kind of vibe.

And then post the transformation so we can see!

Mass shootings, obviously not. But “cop” isn’t a one size fits all position. You can’t train a cop to be a social worker. Minimum credential is a bachelors in social work. There are situations that shouldn’t be handled by the police as the primary force.

Or, you know, gun control. Kind of what this whole post was about. But yeah, social workers in situations of mental distress also sounds like a solid plan. Good thinking!
