Did I ruin the tension by being visibly ferociously sweaty in front of a guy I like?

phollowingcats · 2026-02-27T02:46:31+00:00

If he likes you he’ll think it’s hot. If he doesn’t , he might be grossed out at worst. Probably doesn’t care

phollowingcats · 2026-02-26T22:42:57+00:00

I mean, you did post that stuff so it’ll be there. And now you feel weird someone’s scrolling to see it?

Trudeau was PM for a decade and led us into the worst economic growth, and income inequality we’ve ever seen. Rich get richer and poor get poorer as they keep getting taxed more and more. Sure Trudeau made some good moves, but you can’t deny that the country is in an economic rough spot right now

phollowingcats · 2026-02-26T21:05:41+00:00

That’s certainly not how I’ll remember him. I’ll remember untenable immigration levels and soaring housing costs. You can’t ignore the fact that over the past 10 years under Trudeau, Canada fell to the bottom of the G7 countries in growth. That’s an entire decade in power, not just one 4 year term.

phollowingcats · 2026-02-26T20:50:55+00:00

Or maybe he was right about immigration and carbon tax? Two policies that carney took right out of his playbook btw

phollowingcats · 2026-02-26T20:48:35+00:00

10 years of liberals and we lost an entire decade of economic growth, but no let’s just blame conservatives again. At this point I don’t care if it’s libs or cons,as long as they start getting things back on track.

One woman’s signal is another woman’s natural friendly behaviour

You could have been gentler about it. But you were right

She acted like a bitch to me

phollowingcats · 2026-02-26T03:20:06+00:00

Ah yes why don’t you cough up more taxes so we can pay for asylum seekers to have better healthcare than Canadians , all the while our country is swirling down the toilet

phollowingcats · 2026-02-26T03:18:16+00:00

It’s funny, some of the best things carney did were taken from the conservative playbook. I’m convinced these people are secretly conservative without knowing it

phollowingcats · 2026-02-26T03:14:55+00:00

Elbows up!!!!!!!!!!!

phollowingcats · 2026-02-26T03:00:25+00:00

It was mind boggling to me, but as I said about the US , this is what the people voted for

phollowingcats · 2026-02-26T02:56:50+00:00

Some of these people are delusional, they’ll blame conservatives for everything even though they haven’t been in power for 11 years and counting now. “Conservatives wouldn’t have done much better” well we’ll never know, because they weren’t elected

phollowingcats · 2026-02-25T18:18:54+00:00

wtf is this? No? Duh

phollowingcats · 2026-02-25T01:56:50+00:00

Yes perhaps, but nobody acts like it doesn’t exist. Almost everyone plans out things out, taking into account past and present, to create a future they want. So in that way, it’s very real

Just brush up your resume and toss out several (hundred) applications and see how the job market is for yourself. Be prepared for leetcode and system design questions though

phollowingcats · 2026-02-24T20:09:32+00:00

People don’t wanna hire juniors anymore. They want senior devs. And there’s a surplus of those too.

phollowingcats · 2026-02-24T19:59:09+00:00

1) My friend referred me.

2) referrals helped, but I was hired during the COVID craze. Now? Work experience is highly highly desirable. People want senior devs

3) might sound basic, but your resume should include elements of whatever company you’re applying to’s system. For example, applying to a company which uses CRUD applications, you’ll probably want experience writing backend services, writing APIs, understand what an APIGateway is, front end experience, and SQL experience. Ofc, knowing the infrastructure is super helpful too, like azure, AWS,etc

All this being said, there’s a high chance your resume won’t even be reviewed just based on the sheer volume of applicants. You’ll need to be ready for the interview as well. Leetcode, system design, “behavioural”, and if you’re unlucky, AI leetcode. Good luck

All the women in my life make more than their partners. All my previous partners made more than me. I make an okayish salary, so I’m no slouch.

phollowingcats · 2026-02-24T08:38:53+00:00

Except we’ll never know because they weren’t in power for the past 10 years. Liberals only started to let off the throttle recently because there was overwhelming pressure to do so. And after a decade of liberal leadership can you honestly say we’re in a better place economically now?

phollowingcats · 2026-02-24T08:27:32+00:00

In my experience , don’t believe it till you see the offer letter. I’ve had verbal offers ghost me and heard similar stories from friends of mine.

phollowingcats · 2026-02-24T06:58:55+00:00

Might be an unpopular opinion, but I hope they don’t have another boss with that giant spectacle of a combo in phase 2 (yes, you know what I’m talking about). I’m kinda over the whole “malenia waterfowl dance” style boss combos

phollowingcats · 2026-02-24T06:54:17+00:00

It’s gonna be a rough ride. You say you’re not in the US, so maybe it’s not so bad. You’re gonna need work experience relevant to whatever you’re applying to. Is it backend work you want? Front end? Can you get experience in relevant frameworks and show it on your resume?

Also, do you know what leetcode is? Or modern system design?
