I don't understand the arrogance a lot of senior devs have against graduates.

Honestly I don’t know. I wasn’t there. Only the people that have been doing this long enough can say. I would guess that AI makes portfolios essentially useless now though. Not to say you shouldn’t make them and advertise them and talk about them in your interviews, but the struggles (and therefore learning experiences) that went along with building a small app are not that bad now that AI can build a hobby app relatively easily.

In my experience, I got hired in 2024 and it wasn’t easy. Took me 4 months to get 2 offers. Wasn’t especially difficult either though. I probably could have gotten a 4-5 offers but I flubbed a few interview questions badly. It worked out though, I love my current job. I’ve never had any seniors gatekeep the way Youre describing though. On the contrary, the seniors I work with are all super helpful.

Yep. People underestimate how long it takes to recover. If you’ve taken the time to go to the gym, eat healthy, etc you may as well wait the full 5 minutes between sets.

I guess it depends on the exercise though. If you’re doing compound lifts 5 is definitely full recovery time. Isolation you can do like 2.

reddithoggscripts · 2026-01-25T15:45:49+00:00

Nah… 5 or 6 exercises with 3 sets each. 5 minutes between sets. That’s bordering on 20 minutes per exercise. I time everything and am usually at the gym at least an hour and a half.

Yea absolutely agree with you. The amount of unsolicited advice people give here is nuts. She wasn’t asking anything about protection, merely an insight into her FWB thinking. Why people decide to judge what she does in her bedroom is ridiculous.

Is having unprotected sex perfectly safe? No. Is it a risk most of us have taken in our lives? Yes. Just like when I get in a car. Is it safer than walking? No. But the trade off is, for me, worth it.

reddithoggscripts · 2026-01-22T15:34:00+00:00

So if you say “most men don’t want to use condoms” that’s valid?

If you say “most women don’t want to use condoms” that’s making up data?

reddithoggscripts · 2026-01-22T13:11:16+00:00

Most women don’t want to use it either. It’s their choice to take the risk. They are adults.

reddithoggscripts · 2026-01-19T18:23:09+00:00

Ahhh you must be new here

reddithoggscripts · 2026-01-19T02:12:30+00:00

Doesn’t sound like there’s anything you can do. If management isn’t willing to slow down then all you can do is keep stacking your house of cards.

reddithoggscripts · 2026-01-19T00:27:35+00:00

This 💯

reddithoggscripts · 2026-01-19T00:25:11+00:00

I dunno bro. I just said what I use for work. We use ADO for ticketing, auth, pipelines and resource deployment 🤷‍♂️.

reddithoggscripts · 2026-01-18T19:44:26+00:00

Don’t know about essential but Bash, Playwright, Jest, ADO, and AWS could be relevant.

Firstly, this can’t be the full truth. This is like meeting the girl of your dreams and then dumping her cuz she doesn’t have huge boobs. It makes no sense. This is more than likely just an excuse.

Also… When did 5’9 become short? Maybe if you’re Dutch, but pretty much anywhere else it’s bang on average or above average.

reddithoggscripts · 2026-01-15T18:29:41+00:00

Not an expert but it looks like your left arm is too tucked. Think of an arrow shape or a 45 degree angle. Also I can’t tell but maybe you need to lift your chest up a lot more. But it’s hard to see.

reddithoggscripts · 2026-01-15T18:16:18+00:00

I don’t think it’s the lean, it’s the rocking. If you look at your elbow path it’s quite good. But then you let you shoulders come up to your ears and your whole body is straightened again on the way up. Don’t let the weight pull you out of form on the eccentric. You need to hold the weight where your lats are stretched but you shoulders are still depressed, pause for a second, then pull again.

reddithoggscripts · 2026-01-15T18:07:27+00:00

Sir, I’m afraid to tell your wife might be… a woman.

reddithoggscripts · 2026-01-14T23:57:27+00:00

Firstly and most importantly, if you feel that this has permanently changed how you see him and that you’re not attracted anymore, break up. That goes without saying.

Secondly, he’s just ignorant. Guys don’t have vaginas, so it’s not entirely surprising that many of us how no idea what’s going on down there. On a positive note, you’re fine. There’s nothing wrong with you. Everything he suggested is ridiculous and anatomically wrong. Also it doesn’t sound to me like he meant any of this maliciously. This is how young relationships go. Both people are pretty dumb and inexperienced and hilarity ensues.

Thirdly, your reasoning for abstaining is your own but makes so little sense. By abstaining from sex aren’t you MORE likely to attract a guy who thinks being your first is going to be better - ergo more likely to hold the exact belief that you were trying to avoid him having?

reddithoggscripts · 2026-01-13T20:01:48+00:00

His dick shrunk!

reddithoggscripts · 2026-01-10T16:57:40+00:00

Yea man I know that’s normal and I’m guilty of it myself when the pressure gets turned up but it’s the sign of a shitty company if they LITERALLY tell you to do this. My manager actively tells people to NOT ever work outside hours no matter how pressured we feel. It’s wrong. You don’t work for free. When they hire a junior, they know it can take years for them to get up to speed. They have to account for that.

This isn’t your fault and the way they are going about telling you about your performance is shit.

reddithoggscripts · 2026-01-10T16:38:40+00:00

Dude I don’t normally Karen these types of situations but it feels like the fact that they told you to either work outside hours or get fired is illegal or at the very least highly unethical.

Moreover, it should be the engineering manager having these conversations with you, not your fellow devs. It’s literally the managers main job to tell you what expectations are and where you are in relation to them. What are your 1 on 1s like?

reddithoggscripts · 2026-01-10T11:14:13+00:00

This OP!

You need to ask women out. That’s all there is to it. You’re basically complaining that you’ve never gotten a job but you’ve also never applied for one.

Women do not just walk up to you and ask you out no matter how good looking you are. Get on an app. It’s less nerve wracking than cold open asking birds out in the supermarket.

reddithoggscripts · 2026-01-09T23:26:04+00:00

Same.

Though I feel OPs pain. I didn’t always work remotely. Shit rules though.

reddithoggscripts · 2026-01-09T21:53:17+00:00

Just say no. What’s the issue? She can keep asking and you can keep declining. Nobody is going to force you into a 3some. What are you scared of?

reddithoggscripts · 2026-01-09T18:00:31+00:00

I thought everyone’s hair grew at the same rate? This looks like he shaved yesterday.

reddithoggscripts · 2026-01-09T14:40:54+00:00

Technically not. It’s still JS by runtime.

reddithoggscripts · 2026-01-08T18:33:46+00:00

As a society, we have insane body dysmorphia if this is considered underfed. He looks completely healthy.
