I think it was almost 7 years ago but I was flown from VA->SF and interviewed for a company that I ultimately didn't end up getting an offer for, but it was a good experience

Curious as to why people gravitate towards unis, are they more fun to ride? Is it just more of a challenge and therefore more rewarding? Better workout I'm assuming?

> useful for doing the stuff where I'm weaker as a "full stack" developer I'm really excited about this part; I've been using it to help with DevOps stuff and it's been giving me s…

It's almost always awful. Unlimited PTO to me has meant no PTO. Companies that offer this most the time will make you feel like shit if you actually ask off. There never seems to b…

It might just be that I haven't really been pirating the last 5+ years, but it seems harder to find things now. TPB isn't a great source anymore. I'd join a private one and seed my…

> Where do you even get them? Unfortunately, if you don't want to try and grow them you'll have to get them from someone you know. You could also try the dark web if you really wan…

I am also a regular user of mushrooms these days. My usage of them is definitely different from when I was younger - when I got ahold of them I would always trip pretty heavily and…

I've given up on being that 10x developer that has a laundry list of accomplishments in tech everyone would be proud of about 5 years ago. Unlike most people, I did know what it wo…

I recently went sober from alcohol and afterwards realized how much alcohol advertising there is, it's actually pretty insane. For certain programs (like football) it's almost %50 …

I've heard some people use propranolol to help with their anxiety for things like this as well. I used to drink before interviews as well, I've also tried xanax, and shit sometimes…

> And also, for some reason, I tend to interpret a written message in a much worse way than I do a message that is communicated verbally. This is something that I struggle with as …

You're probably a very good programmer - strange that you're comparing your work against seniors; are you not a senior engineer yet with 20 years experience? You probably could be.…

I loved the free twitter API! So much interesting data to play with, was really sad when they closed it up.

I personally like having the option. I've worked for fully remote for most my career even before covid - back when it was "cool" and people would have taken pay cuts to stay remote…

> I know, often times i am subconsciously aligning my actions to end up alone Are you sure you aren't doing this because you have some sort of social anxiety that's prohibiting you…

People who have a lot of money don't want to let other people who can rob them know they have a lot of money. They've gone past the point where virtue-signaling is important to the…

I would love to get laid off with 3.5 months salary, what a dream

I was burned out on start ups and wanted to join a larger company that had more support and a work life balance. I effectively joined a start-up within a larger company and have wo…

The only good friends I've made and still talk to outside of college (and a few high school friends) were from a job I worked at for almost 4 years. I think that might have been th…

Sounds like you want to be in a startup where you'll work 60+ hours! I'd honestly like a start-up break and am jealous of your 'boring' job.

I thought this was clearly just a rip off of the office? It even ended when it hit the corner exactly.

I often find myself falling into this trap of not reaching out for help quick enough and I've been a dev for a decade. It really is a super bad habit and I've made some strides rec…

Honestly if you are in America, he _might_ have done you a favor as the emergency ride to the hospital costs about 5k (not great for college students), let alone the medical bill. …

60 hour work weeks as the norm is still crazy to me, though I am in my mid thirties as well and might have been able to pull that off in my 20's as you said. Maybe that's why start…
