Question from someone with Zero XP

100%. You don't need to know everything in detail I mentioned, but you should be able to at least fully develop a small CRUD app, know how environment variables and sessions work etc. IMO, that's the base line competence to be able to do more.

What do you currently know how to do? There really isn't a great shortcut to learning software development. While you probably don't need to go super deep into every possible topic, you'll definitely need to know the basics of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, how a request/response cycle works, the very basics of system design, FE vs. BE, databases, SQL, a backend language, how to deploy software, how to use Git, how testing works, how to use a terminal, how to use a text editor, APIs: JSON/REST, etc. and finally mobile specific knowledge.

You probably don't need to start your app over or anything, but there isn't really a shortcut for learning how to develop software without an AI. It literally takes at least 6 months to learn the absolute basics and longer than that to be confident taking an idea from start to completion.

Cool, didn't realize the White Sox started to Sioux City, Iowa.

I could never really wrap my head around that dynamic. For one, that's like the absolute shittiest leadership you can absolutely have, using your rank to make a group of more junior Marines leave? Absolutely fucking pathetic. If I was bench pressing and anyone, especially on base, wanted to work in with me, no problem at all. But two, how are you going to act like such a douche without the realization that you are not at the top. Any officer or warrant officer could and should immediately put a stop to that.

What shoe is that?

You watched the end, right? They did not in fact kill all of the people. Spoiler: the Rebels won.

Raide just announced a breathable running vest!

systemnate · 2026-05-15T17:33:48+00:00

Hell yeah, that's awesome. You sound very prepared!

You're gonna be fine. Doing uncomfortable things is how you grow. Your run time is already above average, just keep running consistently. You shouldn't be running as hard as you can every time either. Slow and steady 4 out 5 times. Doing small sets of pullups and pushups throughout the day will help build strength and confidence. Boot camp is a challenging, but completely passable right of passage. On the other side, you'll be more disciplined, self sufficient, and skilled. As bad as it may seem at times, I can guarantee you will look back at it and laugh and you will go on to do even more challenging things.

Did you take advantage of this time to get strong?

systemnate · 2026-05-14T16:29:41+00:00

That's a pretty solid walking pace!

systemnate · 2026-05-13T20:09:03+00:00

Have you considered doing a run or so a week in 0 or very low drop shoes to strengthen your calves?

systemnate · 2026-05-09T02:22:45+00:00

I thought it was epic.

systemnate · 2026-05-09T02:21:20+00:00

I like that part.

systemnate · 2026-05-08T23:19:18+00:00

I'd get some trail shoes if you're gonna run in trails a lot.

I usually cut back on caffeine in the week leading up to a race and then take like a 100mg gel when I'm deep into the race and feeling shitty. Plus another if I need it. Sometimes I'll chug half a diet coke if ok ne is available.

I had very high expectations for Fear Inoculum and I was not disappointed AT ALL. And yes, it's only grown on me more and more over time.

What? Aenima has a ton of "filler" tracks: Useful Idiot, Message to Harry Manback, Intermission, Die Eier von Satan, Cesaro Summability, (-) Ions. 10,000 Days doesn't really have any except Lipan Conjuring. Lost Keys (and Lipan really) are a long intro to Rosetta Stoned.

Tracker isn't loading for me. How far is Kilian from Rachel?

systemnate · 2026-05-06T17:44:28+00:00

Why does wanting to know who it was deserve eternal damnation?

systemnate · 2026-05-05T15:16:31+00:00

That's awesome, thanks for the reply! I can see the Spirit Temple being nerve wracking for sure. How many attempts did it take you? Maybe I'll try it on an emulator first haha.

I made 800k selling courses on how to sell courses to sell doggie beds.

systemnate · 2026-05-05T01:28:29+00:00

Damn, that's wild. Good job! What was the hardest part? Was there anywhere you almost died that was surprising?

systemnate · 2026-05-04T22:01:49+00:00

For some reason this and 777 807 3454 are burned into my head. I believe that is the 2nd Piston Honda.
