WYM I'M UNQUALIFIED?!
  • Lols. Yea i actually hate that. No i gave been begging my org to just treat interns differently and actually help them rather than let them sink or swim. Most of the interns we get are expected to know all the ins and outs, but they are just kids yet basically. So i think hiring managers honestly should lower the bar and then the org needs to properly train and teach them to get em up to speed. Maybe it takes six months but it's about time we start investing in our people.

    1. college doesn't teach much.
    2. college is still useful tho. It does require some determination and persistence to get through, or at least tolerance for dealing with. "This is the way to learn" junk.
    3. most actually useful knowledge is gained on the job
    4. I think most people fresh out of high school aren't ready for a real job, but college grads are barely ready too to be honest. Hyper generalized and i bet most people reading this are actually very qualified, that said I've met many college grads interning with us who just don't have the fortitude to do it just yet, hopefully by their second job they've grown accustomed to the dumb way of life we all call work.
  • Not really sure whether S-expressions or Python indentation-based scoping get more hate...
  • But s-expressions give you power that other syntax doesn't. Data and code as one. Besides there is no other syntax than simply that so it becomes much easier to remember random extra things.

    Whitespace on the other hand, I hate with fiber of my being.

  • Retiring the Mozilla Location Service
  • Yea, the whole thing has always given me a lot of pause when I comes to GOS. I'm sure it's still an awesome solution, but makes me think twice. In the end I have literally zero need or desire for anything Google running on my phone so I'm on calyx.

  • Why Software Engineers like Woodworking
  • Been remodeling a house that we just bought and this has been a my experience as well. I just enjoy making things. Software, home automations, wood, anything. The joy of building. I think that's what it is.

  • Which OS do you use for your homeserver?
  • Everything is declared, from packages to configuration, and then I can put it in a git repo locked to versions. If something breaks on updates, you have free rollbacks. Which means you can't screw up too much. Also it has almost all the software.
