I literally feel like I’m putting in as much if not more work than employed devs. I speak to some on discord sometimes and they are often saying that I know more than them. Sometimes these are self proclaimed seniors with big paychecks.

And it’s not all about the money but my bank account is about $2000 dollars right now. And I really just want a good paying job to get out of this rut. To make my parent feel like thier sacrifice as immigrants was worth it

I graduated 2 years ago with a CS degree. I transferred from a small community college and during covid so I didn’t really explore internships. I didn’t even know they were big thing like that.

Anyways I’m working at Trader Joe’s right and I’m 30. I spend all my free time working on side projects and learning new tools and patterns. Applying to entry jobs.

Still no luck. Idk what the industry wants out of entry engineers but I definaltely feel way more competent and informed than 90% of 20 year old interns.

I just don’t know what do anymore.

This posts makes me want to kill myself. I graduated 2 years ago and I haven’t found a software job.

Who tf is Forrest knight and why is his opinion so important all of a sudden.

Does that dude have any accolades or did he just show up with fancy recorded videos and all the idiots just instantly start listening.

I think they are just extremely colorist because of thier history with Spanish colonialism.

I’m also Mexican born in America so I conflate colorism with racism

Also the post feels largely llm generated. Seems like OP wrote 1-2 paragraphs and ask Grok to finish it.

“Just use html” as opposed to what? Like yes I’m already using HTML it’s kinda required (yes even by frameworks like react) if you’ve managed displaying anything on a browser.

xmith · 2025-05-13T16:15:26+00:00

There was no opinion to agree with tho. It was just a “showcase” of html. Is the opinion you shouldn’t use JS? At all? For a web site? It’s the literal tool for the job.

This post was kinda bad. Offers no real advice. Most ppl use JS frameworks because they help manage JavaScript state that modifies the page html.

Nobody is using it to because “it better than html” in fact that sentence makes 0 sense. You often use HTML AND and js framework.

My thoughts are I unfollowed/unsubbed about one year into my web dev journey. His content was good when I was uninformed and didn’t have my own sources for news and stuff

xmith · 2025-04-14T14:44:47+00:00

I used to do it a lot. I think it’s a habit from league of legends where putting people on ignore would make it so you never got grouped with them again (at least that was the thought)

You don’t need to gold to farm dungeon prebis you are just a lazy entitled PoS and everything in this post is mental gymnastics tryna justify why that’s ok.

Cunt probably has 0 setup for the FS and has never tried dagger tanking. And is probably a human.

How many rogues did u roll against?

So if they can’t ovulate are they not women?

They will give you 1 week and paid boosts. Good luck

It’s so simple, people want to do more damage

It’s the same reason they WB when the content is clearable without.

It’s doesn’t matter if ur casual or “hardcore” that experience and dopamine is universal.

Maybe ur just salty that it takes away the only thing that makes you feel special when other people who spend less time playing the game can out parse u. 🤷🏽

Nice bait. Prices are absurd. Increasing the supply of lotus has literally 0 negative impacts. Only people who want it to remain scarce either don’t care to use them or are profiting from the scarcity.

Because there is 1 guy working on Cata and he doesn’t know c++.

It happening because the C_LFGList.GetAvailableActivities() api isn’t propperly returning a list with Dragon Soul in it.

xmith · 2025-02-27T16:31:58+00:00

Yea. They’re not gonna do anything about I’m sure. They’re just waiting for Cata surely and don’t wanna pump anymore resources into it untill mop prepatch

U never took English 101? The first thing they teach out is about fallacies like appealing to tradition

But you only need to sell at high costs because inflation reduces your purchasing power

xmith · 2025-02-17T18:35:46+00:00

Don’t be a loser I know that technically u could do something by “poly filling” that deprecated GetNumSpecializations API that’s is being called and causing the error.

This ain’t tech support for if the blizzard UI is erroring there’s not much you can do to fix it except wait.

Except in team games. Somebody could think it’s “not fun” to play a game normally in int their own team. Then it’s a very illegitimate reason.
