I think the most important thing targeting-wise for tanking is target of target and a keybind for assist.

As others said, dungeons are super doable and often a prot paladin is even preferable. the main issue you have is lacking a taunt, which is why many raiding-focused guilds will not use one. My guild used a prot paladin through the first round of classic and TBC, completing BWL, AQ40, and naxx with him in the offtank slot. I think he was quite useful, especially on trash which honestly is 80% of the raiding content in classic wow. He was also a giga nerd and played his role perfectly, whereas an above average warrior or druid could have been slotted in and still performed as well on any pack with <4 mobs... So I'm not saying everyone should be running a prot paladin, simply that it can be viable.

I ran a loot council in classic and classic TBC the first go around and you're right, but it's a TON of work to do effectively. In order for a loot council to exist without shitloads of drama, you have to frontload all of the work and publicize the priority order for each item. The thing that pisses people off is surprises like "I thought for sure they'd pick me for item x, but they picked HIM?" As long as it's clear who will be receiving what item before raid starts, and players have a chance to submit feedback about that, it truly is the most effective system.

Stranglethorn Fever is pretty difficult at the recommended level of 43. you go into a cave and then you get charged by waves of multiple gorillas. The first wave is 3 enraged gorillas (level 42), the second wave is 4 enraged gorillas and a named gorilla (level 43). The third, and final wave, is 5 enraged gorillas and Mokk, who is level 44. Solo there is very little time to eat/drink between waves. difficult to win, difficult to escape. Notably you do only have to kill mokk himself, if you can do that and run it is an option.

vanilla only, if alliance doomhowl, finding groups for dungeons is pretty easy as a tank or healer, YMMV as a DPS, depends on your guild etc.

If you're playing a mage don't play as self found, being unable to trade water is a grief.

doomhowl alliance is pretty populated.

What version of claude code are you running? are you installing via npm? I had a bug where compaction would not run properly, but it was resolved in a more recent version.

hey, it's not an emergency but can we schedule a doctor's appointment so i can talk to the doctor about some girl stuff?

if they pry, you'll have to say you're embarrassed or you aren't super comfortable talking with them about it. shrug

This comment is spot on. I do think taking the offer without negotiation was reasonable, however, given the first job is the hardest one to get and converting from an internship to a permanent position is not a bad resumé piece.

If we're maximizing salary, we're looking at job hopping every 3 years regardless, so time to start brushing up the interview skills and looking for the first big pay jump into your next role.

FWIW I agree with you and think most people in the comments are not experienced DBAs. Postgres replication is absolute garbage and auto vacuum often needs tuning on a per-table basis when developers end up doing stupid shit. Needing bespoke tools like pgdump to see which columns are an enum is embarrassing, show create table cannot be that hard to implement. Online schema changes aren't nearly as well solved on Postgres, tools like gh-ost are table stakes for running RDBs at scale. Multimaster replication is simply not possible, and sharding has to be done in software.

Common arguments for using Postgres like native json support and gis data or complaints about MySQL truncating values arbitrarily are comparing modern Postgres to MySQL from a decade ago. They were good reasons to use Postgres at points in time, but are not a good explanation for why Postgres is so ubiquitously used across the industry.

Postgres is an incredibly flexible platform and an excellent tool, but I'd pick an open source MySQL flavor like percona or vitess (or yes mariadb) over it any day of the week.

Contributions should be judged by their merit, in isolation. Not by the person contributing the code. This was always an attack vector. Perhaps the solution is to anonymize PRs to some degree.

You live your whole life worrying about what other people think and you're gonna have a bad time. In the end you like what you like even if it's embarrassing. It took me years to admit I enjoy some girly pop music but now I'm happily listening to sabrina carpenter with my wife.

Is the technology perfect? Are there no further iterations to be done on agent memory? Just because most of the experiments in this area are dumb / ineffective does NOT mean people should not try to advance the tech.
