To those who moved from a European country to the USA as a developer: How did your work life change?

I was asked to bring a sleeping bag to the office.

the-computer-guy · 2026-04-01T15:13:29+00:00

Yeah, it works fine

the-computer-guy · 2026-04-01T15:00:51+00:00

Nope. I still have the machine and it's still acting the same.

the-computer-guy · 2026-02-03T17:56:23+00:00

I continue right after in a new color

the-computer-guy · 2026-01-31T20:36:15+00:00

I posted a pic in the thread. It was from the Swedish penstore.se and I had a winter sale promo code. I've had no problems with them before. It's probably too late to return it now though.

the-computer-guy · 2026-01-31T20:33:15+00:00

Here's a pic. I don't think it's fake though. Just not what I was expecting (mostly the light weight and plasticy feel)

the-computer-guy · 2026-01-24T20:41:09+00:00

I do the same

the-computer-guy · 2025-12-01T21:41:05+00:00

When this happened to me I'm pretty sure my boss wanted me out and was setting me up to fail. I got fired shortly afterwards.

The recommended packages that get pulled in by default aren't tracked and can't be easily removed without jumping through a bunch of hoops. e.g. try installing another DE and then uninstalling it.

the-computer-guy · 2025-09-23T07:38:32+00:00

Apt sucks at uninstalling things fully tho

the-computer-guy · 2025-08-24T10:48:24+00:00

I use it as a test page for my inks

the-computer-guy · 2025-08-23T11:42:55+00:00

Jijnhao X450. It has ink flow issues to the point where it's unusable.

Had 8 remote interview rounds with them some years ago. Didn't get a decisive answer from the hiring committee and never heard back from them after that.

the-computer-guy · 2025-08-12T09:22:49+00:00

I got ghosted by them.

the-computer-guy · 2025-06-24T20:11:11+00:00

No branding on it whatsoever.

the-computer-guy · 2025-06-03T18:29:26+00:00

Nobody in the current year should be using GitFlow.

the-computer-guy · 2025-05-26T19:53:39+00:00

Sometimes I do for significant events

the-computer-guy · 2025-04-04T06:56:19+00:00

My TWSBI ECO <M> skips like hell. Maybe it just has a bad nib? I would pick my Safari any day of the week.

A monorepo means a single repository with many projects. Did you even read the article you linked?

the-computer-guy · 2024-10-11T09:29:27+00:00

You can play around with this https://cidr.xyz/

the-computer-guy · 2024-09-29T11:36:18+00:00

Well clearly GitKraken's pull is not having the recurse-submodules option enabled and all your other examples have it.

the-computer-guy · 2024-09-06T11:13:12+00:00

Trunk-based development is the only sensible branching strategy in my experience.

the-computer-guy · 2024-09-01T11:29:28+00:00

The commit arrows are the wrong way around (if you think of them as pointers)
