The original intent is what my understanding was and why I don’t upvote reposts across multiple communities.
Just a few moments ago I upvoted a post that I didn’t “like” because the discourse on it was so good.
…There’s definitely stuff I still hate-downvote tho 😈
Still up to the site itself to decide what is “violating content”. This puts a chilling effect on upvoting and gets Reddit one step further from what it once was.
Age is also something that matters here. Are you middle-aged yet? I ended up pulling the brakes on my career to get a better work-life balance, but it ended up stunting my career trajectory a bit.
Once I had more free time and realized I wanted to earn more, I had to hustle to get back to a top-of-market position.
In short: there’s always time on the future to pivot to Option B. If there’s more value to extract where you are, milk it for all it’s worth and then exit before it goes south (as all jobs do).
And here I am near the end of the day saying “well fuck, guess I’m working late tonight to deliver this thing I promised.”
I do this to myself…
I always feel like the features I’ve worked on become my coworkers or like pets. When a specific feature breaks often, I’ll think “damnit Frank! One of these days I’m going to patch that edge case once and for all!”
Then I patch Frank and he quiets down so I can focus on the next thing leadership wants.
You get to know these things and you put care into designing them (if you didn’t put care into them, you’d likely be a hack of an IT person). It’s always hard to see them go.
Sorry for your loss.
I felt the exact same sentiment. Not being able to sort my feed based on “most likes” or “most reposts” didn’t make sense to me. I wanna see top quality content first, not just some rando’s thoughts at the exact moment that I’m online.
Like, it was fine, but it didn’t quite hit the spot.
I think about this all the time.
Cremia and Romani’s failure state is so sad :’(
Yes, “Does this look the same to you?” Is strikethrough.
Couldn’t agree more. Good message, but pontificating as hell.
Gotta start the day early with some data scrubbing. One of our ETL processes is fucked and I’ve been tasked with figuring out how to fix it.
It reads as strikethrough text on my browser :(
A lot of people here say that your bother’s son is too young for a Switch.
I’d like to take a different approach and point out that you do a comparison between childhood when you were young and childhood for your brother’s son. You show (rightly) that you and your brother grew up well-adjusted even though you had video games in your life.
I would rebut that “growing up well-adjusted” probably isn’t the biggest concern of you brother. It’s probably more about how much harder it’ll be to get his son to engage with other things that are important to the family if the boy has the Switch as an ever-present alternative.
I actually think you should buy your brother a beer and ask him more about it (out of curiosity, rather than looking for an argument). The beer will probably help your brother limber up and you’ll get to hear him complain about what a pain in the ass it is to try and wrangle a kid.
But all of that doesn’t nullify that you’re trying to be a good and fun uncle, so thank you for that.
I don’t really know anything about China, so I really can’t say.
Yup. It’s phuckin awesome
Nm I’m dumb. It’s under the “Digital Archive” on their site.
Hmmm… I found an old magazine in their listings, but can’t for the life of me find out how to read it.
This. Blocking communities you find annoying is the better solution.
Very interesting article. Thanks for sharing
Something something “hunter2”
Damn, I’m the only one using Mlem?
