For some reason doing a bunch of vibe coding was what finally inspired me to start learning C and systems level stuff, I got so bored of sitting around generating stuff that I got some motivation to start really challenging myself and leveling up as a programmer again. I let my subscriptions expire and have been having a great time writing code the old fashioned way

I really don't see them as competitors, I want a steam deck, but it wouldn't make me stop playing my switch. I can't bring the steam deck to a family member's house on the holidays and play switch sports or mario party with a group of people. They serve different purposes.

A few years ago it took me a few days to find something, this time around it took me a few months. I've had a few experiences similar to you where I was basically told an offer was about to be sent and then it just doesn't happen, or I was rejected after what I thought was a great interview. Don't let it get to you or take it personal and just keep pushing.

Wii U Architecture 4 years ago

I loved and still do love my Wii U and still use it semi regularly to this day. There was something about the Wii and Wii U that was lost on the Switch. They just had that special Nintendo "feel" and vibe

The SAFe Delusion 4 years ago

I had a recruiter mention to me that the company is all about SAFe and I should express my interest and enthusiasm for it during my interview. I looked it up, saw a diagram describing the process that actually made me burst out laughing and ran far away from said company.

I recently purchased a book that I was really looking forward to from Amazon and received a counterfeit version with the correct cover but complete nonsense inside. It wasn't the book I purchased at all just a scam. It was super frustrating and I returned it and will not be purchasing books from Amazon ever again, but I wonder what was even the purpose of the scam? Isn't everyone just going to get annoyed and return it? What would the seller even get out of this?

Not sure if you live here but I have for about 10 years and I highly appreciate this. I looked through the archives and the few things I was familiar with are the type of things that I only really hear about through word of mouth from very cool people, so I appreciate having that type of stuff curated in one place
