Straight up though the world peaked in the 2007-2010 in terms of culture. Everything has just gotten significantly worse since then and I feel bad for the zoomers and gen alpha who have to grow up in the 2020s
At work everything I do is in the Javascript/Web world. Typescript backend, webpack react, etc. I use C++ and C# for personal projects because I personally despise Javascript world
Im not an evangelist for windows (I won’t try to convert you) but I’m unashamed of being a software engineer who uses Windows as my main dev platform
Hi I like Windows, I use it as my primary development platform
I have literally never seen whatever this post is referring to
.ml should be defederated from lemmy.world tbh
Only way to get hired with your credentials is with some serious networking. In your local area, look for code/tech meetups and talk with people. Look for “Code and Coffee” on meetup or facebook or something (though I must warn against caffeine consumption for teenagers!). You’ll most likely have to look for an internship rather than a Junior Dev position at first, which is typically the pipeline that companies use to hire Jr Engineers.
Another option is to look for “Tier 3 support” or “Integrations engineers”. Often, companies will look for people with minor coding skills to work directly with clients to help implement the company product for the client (for example, adding some custom widget to their wordpress site, new features for their salesforce instance, etc.)
These engineers don’t create the company product but they do get some experience scripting things and often they can use this position to transition to a full time engineering role. In my experience, these roles have far lower requirements to entry
I curse the sadist who decided True should be uppercase in Python
Do older technical people use 1:1 chat? I would think email is more common
I figured I could balance some of the other factors (low maintenance cost, higher principle, higher interest) against each other to get a lower monthly payment
The car runs fine, I don’t have any major complaints other than the stupid ass touch screen controls for stuff like air conditioning, but it seems hard to find any car that has real controls anymore.
I also moved to a city (from the suburbs) and work remotely so I don’t drive as much as I used to
I don’t know what current car interest rates are. I can tell you that the federal reserve has not changed interest rates in a meaningful way since then
Irc isn’t the competitor of xmpp. Discord is
There are people using xmpp? Last time I set up a server and tried using it with Pidgin, I couldn’t find a soul that used it

Perhaps the only thing she ever contributed of value to literature was Anthem, which is the archetype for the young adult post-apocalyptic fantasy novel. However, the prose is so strained; every pronoun in “we” or “us” and nobody has names so she names a woman with blonde hair “The Golden One” like she’s some kind of “chosen one” prophet.
Still, I think it would make an excellent basis for other stories if you just let the MC go back to collectivist town and blast the council away with some gun he found in the ruins or something
When I work on web projects at home I don’t use any javascript at all. Just html and css. Interactions are handled via form submission. I’m working on a forum in asp.net mvc without any javascript at all
