The field of programming emerged from mathematics, not engineering unfortunately. So we lack any useful certification processes.

This is important and something more interviewers should do. The blind adherence to leetcode doesn't tell you much, especially if you're silent during the interview instead of having a short back-and-forth every 15 minutes or so. The problem solving process is more important than the problem solved.

Person selling a product informs you that the product they're selling is good despite counter claims.

> They're seeing the opposite because people are desperate.

I hope, wish, pray we get back to the 2021 market in a few years so we don't have to humor HR persons anymore. I was very polite and reasonable when I switched jobs in 2021 but when the cycle comes around I am going to string along HR folks and recruiters as a hobby. I will try to get them to cry on the phone.

Right now, every company thinks that because times are uncertain, they only want to hire the best of the best, so they can be sure of their choice. Of course, everyone else has the same idea and the "best of the best" already got hired somewhere better. I'm not really sure why employers are taking so long to realize this.

My very expensive tower PC can't "up"grade because it doesn't have a TPM 2.0 module. So unless Microsoft plans to give me a new CPU (and new mobo) it's not free for many users.

Explorer has its thumbnail processor on the same thread as the UI so if you have a lot of pictures in a directory it'll just hang indefinitely. Sometimes if you have too many files it won't display any at all.

If explorer crashes, it's the same process as your desktop and taskbar, so that disappears too.

Well, that's a lot of caveats. As I said, it would take years to complete. And it looks like it's well on its way but not near complete.

When you squash a branch you'll have 200+ lines of new code on a new feature. The diff is not a quick way to get a summary of what's happening. You should put the "what" in your commit messages.

I agree with this

> and more reliable

I emphatically disagree with this.

> while generally achieving somewhat better results

I agree with this.

I'd also like to add that my Prusa Mk3s+ is significantly slower than my P1S. Also, without the MMU it still cost more than my P1S with AMS. Choosing a Prusa is making a philosophical choice, because it's certainly not about convenience, speed, versatility (considering you need to buy a separate enclosure and pricey MMU), bed size, or price. It's a choice you make because you're okay with spending a lot more to support an open platform where you can flash your own firmware without voiding your warranty, not because you want a better experience.

As a user of TikTok and Instagram Reels, TikTok had an actually good algorithm that would show you interesting things after you showed interest. I found a lot of film students with great reviews through TikTok. Instagram and YouTube don't care to show you that kind of thing.
