This is the first day of the rest of your life...

I feel the opposite about this... When I research an error or problem and I find the single one comment that fixes it... And I'm like omg this one human being single handedly is the only person on the internet that perfectly solved my problem... Shrine building time

Not a developer/nihilist/enlightened... Well never know

@monr0e that's kinda what's been bothering me about the book... It almost takes on the attitude that literally everybody is out to get everybody and people only care about themselves... Still some interesting lessons though

@timo lol I mean do they like think its a literal cloud storing all our data... Or our data is like converted to electrical signals in the atmosphere circling the globe and computers magically know how to access them

I wonder how people like that think the "cloud" works...

Boooo.

@korrat yes this could work... It would probably be most efficient to alternate between all combinations of the tasks

ABC, ACB, BAC, BCA, CAB, CBA

@GhostDev I seriously have no idea what he was after... Its like asking an open ended question and then wanting somebody to answer it how you want it answered when there is really no right answer.

@krister-alm sorry you're right... Well stick with programmer cats only

Oh man no way when I have more than 8 open I start to go crazy

Ask and ye shall receive

@coolq One man's obvious no is another mans quandary

@korrat The culture and corporate at my company is horrific... I can completely understand that people have "checked out" and don't care anymore.

But for the love of god can you please flip the memory retention center of your brain on when I'm talking to you so I don't have to show you which 3 buttons to click 12 times a month.

Now you are contributing to my misery along with the company lol

@Bitwise The thing I've always found bizarre is how people, places and things can have tangible feelings associated with them... Like when a person is nasty and just being around them even when they're being nice or quiet you just receive this negative energy. Same with like a place you just walk in and its like a wave

@Bitwise yeah I totally believe in paranormal. Its hard to believe that some people aggressively don't believe... I mean you can choose to believe its not human spirits or demons or what not. But at some point you can't rationalize something that makes no sense and that we can't see or comprehend but is clearly present

To double dip at a company potluck or not to double dip...

These are the touch choices in life

I wish I had time for stuff like this or helping out with open source programs... But with everything considered every spare second I have goes towards my personal projects :(

@vikaskr @potata Agreed... Interviews in this industry should be working interviews... You're leaving out self-taught, fast learning, capable people.

Then you're left wondering why education guy (who's maybe never practically programmed hands on) or 10 year unity c# guy can't comprehend x language, y concept or z program.

In general we have a huge stigmatism against people who lack degrees or certs in fields where all the resources you need are available on a device in our pockets

@Bitwise if we didnt move from our condo we ain't moving over a ghost at the window that does nothing lol...

At the condo there was a 3 month period where I believe there was a malevolent entity that came and went.

Nobody including friends, who weren't told about it, felt comfortable going down the hallway or being in the master bedroom alone.. We would see a black figure walking by out of the corner of our eye, we would wake up multiple mornings to the closet and bathroom door being wide open, one night it sounded like somebody punched the hallway wall as hard as they could (that didn't adjoin the other condos we were connected to) and the next day I come home and the mirror on that same wall is smashed into pieces on the hallway

We lived there 3 years after all that nothing ever happened again and it felt totally comfortable to be there like it left

Dude THIS is a big frustration with me in this industry right now... Tech, coding, data analytics... Its quite possibly the industry with the most "blurred" lines of education/experience... I almost feel like those two things shouldn't even be factors (even thought that's how every other industry defines its talent acquisition) you're either good at it or you're not because of or despite those factors...

@steaksauce Yeah those two words don't really "jive" with each other do they? lol

@darkmatter2222 Amen...school is there to teach you concepts...then you get in the real world and your boss tells you "I need all the claims completed from January 1 to March 15"

-Work the problem

-Critically thinking

-GOOGLE!!!!!!!

So last week she says the ghost is at the window...I walk to the window and go "right here?" She says yes and I start like waving my hand toward the window like "get out of here ghost." And she terrified says "stop touching him, he doesn't like that".

Well shit that went from playful to creepy right fast....like I have this mental image now that my daughter can see a ghost who I'm waving my hand through it's waist while it stares angrily at me...

Well hope it was an interesting read...I can post more stuff as time goes on because kid's are creepy lmao...

Ironically the night I posted this the fire was dying down at like 1am and there was so much random noise and activity from the woods I was like "yep i'm out fuck this."

Random memory...one time me and my daughter we're about to take a nap and almost sleeping...she turns, looks at me, and says "daddy, they're coming" and then turns back around....fucking kids man

2) Ever since we moved in here my daughter has been constantly talking about the ghost "at the windows" ... the one's bordering the back yard. At first it creeped me out then I got used to it. I never really probe her about it, because when you're a parent you learn to write off a bunch of the crap they say.

One day I'm in the bathroom and she comes in and says there is a ghost on the porch...So I say "oh what does it look like," she says "a man." So I come running out with the pants half down with my pistol up and aimed and there is nothing there.

Sometimes she says its inside the window, outside the window, in the woods...I'm thinking is there some like genius psychopath that knows when to like duck behind the window and never see him? lol...

Ok yall...here are the stories...as I said probably over hyped by now...

1) One time me and my wife were watching a movie on the back porch and there was something that essentially sprinted from the swamp, through the woods behind the house, and into the woods to the left of our house...

We're talking maybe a few good hundred feet in the matter of like 15 seconds. Now I know animals and creatures and I can tell you a couple things

-This thing was on 2 legs, not 4

-And it was a good 100+ pounds based on the sound of the pressure on the ground.

So we're out on the porch with a powerful flashlight for a good 45 minutes listening to this thing intermittenly run left to right, right to left like 3-5 times. This thing is no further than 5-10 steps from our fence and I'm training the flashlight right in it's path and we see nothing...and no there are not bears in our area.

Sorry guys... Busy weekend and daughter has been throwing up... Tomorrow at work I'll post some stories... Although surely by now they are over hyped lmao

@singh029 dude that's why I built the fence... Lol... Were surrounded by swamp to the left and woods behind us and to the right... Only owned by one family before us... Don't know how they did it without a false sense of security... When I stay out here like tonight late I have my handgun in my front pocket whole time....

I've definitely got some creepy stories about the woods if you're interested lol

@nightowl that is so awesome and my eventual goal...If I can make enough money indie developing to quit my job I'm going to eventually move to 4 day weeks...and then if I start getting comfortable with money I'm going to move to 3 day weeks.

We weren't put on this Earth to work our lives away we were put here to spend time with loved ones, see the world, and enjoy ourselves...

Unfortunately!!!! You need money to do that....root of all evil and all :(

@CodeMasterAlex well its basically a scam for non techies... My dad bought an android box preloaded with kodi and all the repositories and add ons for 250... I looked at the specs and was like dude this hardware is 60 bucks tops... They basically charged 200 for "labor" of 15 minute software config
