I think you're missing the part where interacting with strangers is also working the general socialization muscle. If you find yourself being more social in general, and give yourself the time to recharge, then you'll be better equipped to engage with those closest to you. You may even get lucky and add someone else to that circle

That's exactly the sorts of issues I was having. That and it somehow kept losing my encryption information so I'd lose access to all of my messages or something similarly ridiculous

I've tried off and on to actually use Matrix. I was a bit of a loud supporter in the early days. Unfortunately, it looks like it still hasn't grown past the fundamental issues I was having then. It might be time to try something else

This is exactly the kind of negativity that only appears on the internet and that this study sort of shined a light on. Would you really tell this person to their face that their art sucks just because it isn't good for you?

Part of the goals of making it so tiny, as far as I understand it, is that a normal person could reasonably implement the entire thing from server to client. Going full HTTPS and HTML is a bit of a lift for a single person in a short period of time

At least in the US, you just bite down. At best they can apply some over-the-counter lidocaine

I actually kind of like the subset of Jira that I use. Put tickets in a project, create related tickets when I'm breaking down larger projects, expose the project as a Kanban board so we can see at a glance if the right things are being worked on.

That's it. I've essentially built this for myself a few times over so I doubt this is what people are actually paying for so I must be missing all of the features that people hate

I would say an actively harmful TypeScript. Just a couple of days ago, I had bug in production because apparently the union of two types is not the intersection but the sum. It exploded because one type had a method that the other didn't. That's an absolutely horrible footgun

I'm actually in this exact position right now. The vast majority of the time I write in TS but I have a need to process a whole lot of data so I went for Rust instead. Java is too much of a headache for me, personally

I frequently hear about this abuse of estimates and even ran in to it myself when I was a more junior engineer. In my opinion, part of maturing as an engineer is learning to call your shots and properly communicate when you aren't sure how accurate you are. It's one thing to say "I promise this will be done tomorrow". It's another thing to say "we're not positive but within the month seems likely"

To authenticate is to prove who you are. To authorize is to grant access.

We should be screaming this type of thing from the rooftops. I struggled so much with the difference until someone said something to this effect. AuthN = who you are, AuthZ = what can you do. People seem to get confused because certain classes of individuals have certain rights and think it's the "who" that's important and not the role

Suicidal humor is very much a Millennial trait. They weren't the first to make those jokes but they definitely made it bigger, more common, and went beyond the standard "ugh, just kill me now" you'd hear before.

I wouldn't call out the depression bit as a Gen Z exclusive. Millennials basically invented modern, every day, gallows humor. Arguably, they're also the ones to normalize going to therapy. Not to say that things aren't bad, just saying that part didn't start with Gen Z.

It's a tricky thing: my experience does mirror some of the "propaganda" despite coming to Europe with heavily rose-tinted glasses. I'm not going to pretend that my limited data is enough to extrapolate to the whole of the continent but it's still a data point.

The work culture is very different. There's a clear attitude of working until the next holiday and the company never gets one minute more than what they pay me for. That's honestly not a _bad_ perspective to have but it's not ideal if you're trying to build a startup

I completely agree but have we gone full meta? Being negative about the negativity? ;)

There's a massive pile of options for writing styles in the same file as the JS. Naming stuff isn't hard when you use CSS modules. Learning and memorizing the Tailwind DSL takes just as much time as it takes to learn basic CSS.

Do what you want but I honestly don't understand why anyone who already knows how to write CSS would use Tailwind

Call me a caveman but the lack of an option to use AI tools offline is a massive downside to me. I am connected to the internet most of the time but I take comfort in knowing that, for most of my work, I could lose my connection and not even notice

The cross country ones aren't really of interest to me. Those don't move a whole lot of volume. The inner city transportation such as the DART is what most people use and it's punctuality rating is closer to 70%. I'd love to know how they measure that though because I took the DART 5 days a week for months and it was not on time far more often than it was. The people here literally don't bother checking the listed times because they're wrong. Show up at the station and pray one arrives within the hour

I have heard this opinion over and over again but it just hasn't been my experience. I've spent a lot of time in both Berlin and Munich over the last couple of years and I never waited more than 10 minutes for a train
