It certainly benefits insiders that can bet on outcomes they directly control

Also just generally worried about the mental health of engineers out there right now, with the rapidly changing processes, and the constant messaging that you may no longer have a job soon. Feel like I don't see many people talking about it.

This is all xenophobic nonsense

I'm a 100% lurker and it's such a nicer experience before any enshitification. It probably won't last forever, but no ads or spam, and simply seeing a feed of accounts I follow is all I want.

I'm honestly shocked at the amount of pro-motion interpolation comments there are in here lol

"Electrifying won't fully solve the problem, so don't bother" is also not particularly helpful

Man, I've coded a fair amount in my free time, and have even created a couple of money making side-projects, but I just can't grind leetcode no matter how often I try. That plus the rejection after doing long on-sites drains me for days afterwards. I've come to the conclusion that even though I may be missing out on those top salaries, FAANG just probably isn't for me

I stopped wearing headphones while running when the pandemic started. I really don't think about much. It's become sort of meditative for me.

I imagine Tesla will be losing a lot of good employees in the near future if this is true

Write in Batman for all I care. There are still elections other than the presidential race that will arguably affect you more on a day-to-day basis.

Who says divorce is the expected outcome of marriage? What's the point of getting married if that's the person's mindset?

I'm really interested in trying this, but have little skateboarding experience. Is there a steep learning curve to riding one of these in a dense city?

But Philly has everyone's favorite company, Comcast! I think the city wage tax is a huge barrier for new tech companies from setting up here. The burbs around Philly aren't bad for jobs though

Some of the apps I work on can only build on ARM, so the emulators were completely useless. Maybe it'll be better now!

hebleb — Wed, 10 Feb 2016 21:15:07 +0000

I didn't get it until literally this past Sunday. I've always had it installed on my phone, and have maybe ~10 friends on it, but I never actually sent anything. I would occasionally receive a snapchat from my friend, I would chuckle, and that was the end of it.

This Sunday my wife took my phone and just took a silly picture of ourselves during the Super Bowl and sent it to everyone on my list. Within minutes, I was getting a response from pretty much everyone, some people I haven't even talked to in months, and it was fun and made us laugh! I had the dumbest epiphany of my life. It's really just a fast, dumb way to communicate. That's it. Maybe I'll actually use it more now
