The real trick is to move to a high cost of living area where you’re super near but can hardly afford to make it there as often as you’d like.

I think there’s some merit to this, I had blonde hair as a child and now when I go to the beach a lot during the summer is starts to lighten again.

In my case Ruby was my next step. I tried to learn Python later on but it always felt like a step back. Unfortunately Python is much more popular though for some reason so YMMV.

Not super grim, but I worked in a hot warehouse unpacking cheap clothing from China, repacking it and watching the owners turn around and sell it on Groupon for a huge profit. Sometimes their family members would stop by in brand new Mercedes, BMW and other high-end luxury cars.

The others and myself were all promised better jobs like product photographer, website designer, etc. I only lasted there one week.

One of my chihuahuas does this too but doesn’t sneeze.

I actually still crack up whenever I see unhinged.

Mine is till instead of ’til to mean until and a in “two times a year” instead of per. I still say “two times a year” myself but when writing it looks so unprofessional and I always notice it in news publications.

I don’t why but the fact this is on YouTube seems hypocritical but I can’t put my finger on it.

I really hope not; I love Linux to death but Android is… not nice.

I don’t know, I still see a lot of people not knowing this. I’ve seen iPhone users get confused when I use Safari to go to a website rather than the Google app on their phone.

It’s really a shame because you just know that that Google app is just spyware.

I think it’s a CSS issue. Word wrapping won’t break apart the amount because it’s considered one “word.”

There are ways to address it though.

I dreamt that I was traveling in Germany and didn’t want to be called out as American, so the dream switched to Spanish (my second language). My brain did try Mandarin and Japanese but it was probably too resource intensive for a dream.

Having never been to Europe, “Germany” looked a lot more like Mexico than anything.

I feel like this is claiming that Windows has better UI/UX which I always find hilarious.

Which 20 versions of UI are you talking about? Is it Ribbon, Metro, 9x, XP, or half of the non-native JS apps that Microsoft pushes on its own platform (especially funny to me considering they ditch their own UI API)?

Linux can be a very crummy UX too, but using Windows as some sort of standard for comparison is a joke.

While working in fast food working as a manager I had a store manager that would cuss you out, but one thing I loved about her is I would cuss back and explain myself to which she’d be like “oh, that makes sense.”

Their app was so futuristic on the original iPhone, then it went to shit pretty quick. It looks/behaves like an unmaintained Ruby on Rails 3.1 app.

I don’t have a great answer but I’m sure most modern browsers have locked down their address bar (and bookmarks) enough that it’s not possible without enabling developer features.

I get stuck on foods too but it’s usually something I cook. I keep cooking until I get the recipe down, then I get sick of it after awhile and move on.

I’ve also got a few staples: breakfast burritos (tofu scramble + homemade fake meat or soy chorizo), chili, pizza with imported tipo 00 flour, stir fry, etc. I love spicy foods so especially with the stir fry I add chili oil to kick it up several levels and then something repetitive and boring a lot more complex.

I’m actually happy to say I haven’t necessarily had any bad programming related interviews. In fact, as someone with zero professional development experience but a healthy portfolio (side business for former employer, systems built for prior jobs not related to development) I’d say it was almost too easy to finally land a full time development job.

I don’t think I’d make that information public were I in their shoes. Wouldn’t that be a hint for anyone attempting to crack them?

I’m explaining why I’m a programmer for some context why I’m interested in technology, not to argue that all programmers hate gaming.

I was replying against the smug “you must’ve been born in the 2000s” comment. I’m arguing that not everyone is into gaming just because this is a technology community, and to maybe drop the attitude because someone isn’t cOoL like them because they were born earlier. 🙄
