George Monbiot, a British journalist who has made a career of writing about the climate crisis
Came here to see discussions about the truly insane case mentioned in the article. Actually found an entire comment section full of 'not all men' vs 'basically all men' threads
The difficulty is asking people to get started with this. People want to get to work/navigate as quickly as possible to where they need to be, they don't want to be figuring it out. Social media can be janky and you'll be patient, but if you're late for something because you're struggling to adjust to an app you're more likely to go back to Google/Apple Maps
Kanye still gets features and collaborators despite his Nazi turn. All the major rappers associated with him chose silence over condemnation. Biggie would most likely make the same choice with Diddy
Quick note on the trump impressions: he thinks the word is 'unpresidented'
Yes but in this case there was not even an attempt worth worrying about
His ego couldn't take the mockery. Hence the 22 cry-laughing emojis when he was actually seething
She spreads racist bullshit then hides behind her half-black daughter
For all the people saying he's sleeping with her
This is good. She continues to tweet insane shit and she has been confirmed to be the person who exposed him to some of the worst debate conspiracies like the eating pets stuff. He's only going to look more unhinged and lose even harder with her in his ear
The start of the headline lured me in for the biggest WTF moment I've had in ages. I'll be sweating bullets the next time I see something about a former model/Miss-Wherever
Shapiro is not an idiot, he's arrogant. He believes that when the fascists and alt-right freaks come for every other racial, sexual and religious minority, including his own, they will spare him because he was on their side and he is special
The Thor of our universe is also an attractive blonde who has been worshipped by millions of Earthlings
They will learn no lessons from this because they're stuck in their weirdo right-wing media/online bubble. They'll keep saying weird and disgusting things like Musk when he threatened to impregnate Taylor Swift, and it will be devastating for them
The '90s was 30 years ago. In the '90s the '60s were 30 years ago, so I think the analogy holds up
He'll accept then use the same excuse he used with Zuckerberg: Mummy said he can't go out and box :(
He called her weak but he's the coward telling people to bow down to Putin because he has nukes
I feel like she's using words like 'weak' to unsettle Trump and it's getting to him
I could use some honest advice from experienced programmers and engineers.
I'm almost at the two year mark as a developer. On paper I might look like a passable Junior Dev, but if you sat me down and asked me about algorithms or anything else I did to get my job in the first place I would be clueless. I can solve problems and always get my work done, but I don't even know the language/framework I use daily well enough to explain what's going on, I can just do things. I don't think I have imposter syndrome, I think I really might have let any skill I had atrophy.
I used to enjoy programming as a hobby in my spare time, but in two years I've opened the IDE on my personal machine no more than twice. People talk about all the side projects they have, but I have none. I feel too stressed out from the job to do any programming outside of work, even though I love it. I feel like I can't level up from a Junior to Senior because I either don't have the headspace or the will to do so. It doesn't help that the job I've had has taught me very little and my dev team has been a shitshow from the beginning.
At the moment I have an offer on the table to do a job that isn't engineering (but still tech) and it surprisingly pays more. Part of me thinks I should take that job, rediscover my passion in my spare time and build my skills, but I fear I might go down this route and never be able to come back to engineering. Not that I'm sure I want to.
It might sound defeatist but I don't think I'll ever be a top 5% or even 25% engineer. I could be average with a lot of work, but not great. I could potentially be great in the new field I'm being recruited for, but that's also hard to say without being in the job.
I know that some people just aren't cut out for being engineers. Maybe I have the aptitude but not the mentality to do this for 30+ years. I want to know if that's what it sounds like to people who've seen that before. If you were in my position, would you walk away and just be a hobbyist programmer or stick it out and hope to be a mediocre engineer one day?
