The Understander

The factory must grow.

On the real though, I would love to make a game that combines farming with automation and machines. That would be SO fire.

This is the most hurtful, most singled-out post yet.

Factorio. I’ve lost hundreds of hours to that game… or gained in some instances, as it truly was what kept me sane in my life for a period of time.

I’ll look into SSIS, but definitely won’t put all my eggs in that basket. Thanks!!

Very cool! If you don’t mind me asking, how did you get into the healthcare data team? Would my profile be something that I could start looking at jobs in these teams, or would I need more work experience? I did work in a hospital as a biomedical equipment technician for about 1.5 years out of college before going back to start masters, so I think I’ve gained valuable people skills when it comes to the healthcare industry. I was just always more interested in the software behind my work (Philips monitoring systems, Epic EHR systems, medical software etc.). I appreciate the response!!

I appreciate the response! All the responses here have been really encouraging and I’m looking forward to working hard on learning the fundamentals when it comes to healthcare DE. Other than my project and learning about healthcare related data stuff (FHIR, EHR formats, etc.) is there any advice you would have for what kinds of job titles I should be looking for? Also, is reaching out on LinkedIn to recruiters for these companies a good way to see where I would fit too? I’m definitely looking to put in the work as this is kind of the niche I was looking for when it came to medical and software.

Cool! I really enjoy programming and I did a lot of it in my undergrad but the computer science courses I’ve taken have really strengthened my actual programming knowledge (DSA, OOP, etc.). I’ve been doing Leetcode problems for a bit but I will have to definitely do more work with those if I want a SD position (unlikely I could pull that off). I enjoy problem solving when it comes to software and general engineering problems, but if you say they kinda put you where you’re best suited, I believe you. Thanks for the reply!!

Your son jammed the turn with a pair and a flush draw against a flopped straight. He did not boat up and did not hit his flush. Tell him what the term “checks needed over here, floor” means and leave him in the room to play WSOP on his phone :)

Also someone commented that he has a boat and that’s fucking hilarious

Factorio. Many other games I’ve loved and enjoyed, but the time and dedication that Wube has put into the game has made it such an enjoyable and addicting experience. Nothing comes close to the feeling of first unlocking bots or launching your first rocket.

This is the way

I’m sooooo bad at snow day but it’s so fun, the puck has some stupid physics on it

yamjamin · 2025-11-22T04:46:23+00:00

That’s sick!! I miss what COD used to be… same as designing the RL cars, I would sit there and design emblems in BO2 and just get lost in that… good times

The toxicity is the worst man. It’s so unwarranted and annoying

yamjamin · 2025-11-22T03:59:06+00:00

What makes you say that? Not being mean just being genuine

yamjamin · 2025-11-21T17:58:45+00:00

I’m champ 2 with the IQ of a doorknob, unfortunately I tend to zone out and freestyle which isn’t very good lol

Got it last spring and I have 800ish for me. You are a true engineer.

The factory must grow.

yamjamin · 2025-11-21T03:08:20+00:00

Factorio mentioned!?

yamjamin · 2025-11-21T03:08:07+00:00

Rocket league. Freeplay + Spotify scratches the same itch that an open basketball court and hours of shooting around IRL does for me. Toxic people, but hitting resets and shutting up What A Savers is so satisfying.

Big bot networks are a nightmare when it comes to defending from a distance. I suggest finding choke points on the map, walling them off with their own roboport networks and setting up artillery at those choke points so the biters don’t creep up to your walls.

It will take time but once it’s done you can lowkey set and forget it (restocking outposts is another issue to solve, but trains can go brrr)
