In reality lots of developers are not even good at what they claim to specialize in.

I mean javascript is java right? It’s in the name

My problem is with semantic whitespace

While Java js definitely one of the best, it still has some quirks that you need to know about.

Yes but that’s a side effect of this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-family_zoning

Which is also screwing over regular people and also causes you to have shittier cities with suburban sprawl, oh and those zoning laws are also racist in origin

Well I am not really playing games anymore, so kinda whatever and I own the the PS5 for when I want to play something

That’s what I always say at work, if we just stopped working on the product thered be no more bugs

Yeah but I am already spending most of time in front of my monitor, if I want to play something casually I will just do it in my living room on my PS5, which rarely happens anyway

Yeah but how many did it introduce?

I would sooner believe it was some internal politics/dick swinging, they may have upset someone higher up and they swung their dick around and shut their shit down, just out of spite.

That’s probably not it, lol. You think some execs care about a games anti corp message if they are making money off of it? I highly doubt it

Yep, that’s the one I was paraphrasing, thanks for the exact quote

“AI” is just another productivity tool, copilot let’s you remove some of the tedious patterned work you do, like writing all those asserts in Unit tests, it’s decent at guessing html structures too.

So basically it makes a developer faster, but then so do stuff like a good IDE, good plugins for your workflow, etc.

i saw somewhere an interesting take, even if AI could generate all the code for all the edge cases, you’d still need people to translate what business wants for the AI to understand properly.

Writing code is already a small part of a developers job, completely eliminating it won’t eliminate a developers job.

Defenders of the Status Quo video from Pop Culture Detective fits this comic nicely

Do you have 20 minutes? Here is an excellent video

You can literally just put a tax on new plastic bottles vs recycled plastic bottles and the issue solves itself, the issue with recycling is that it’s not economically viable.

Hey man, I am 33 and I feel like I wasted lots of years not being social, during Uni for example, not living my life enough due to low confidence and social anxiety, now my friends have their kids, married for a while etc, while I do have my career at a good place I can relate to your feelings.

First of all, stop comparing yourself to others, nothing ever good comes out of that, you can look at them for motivation, ask them for advice how to achieve something, but stop comparing yourself, everyone goes at their own pace.

I also had terrible anxiety during Uni, leaving everything to last minute, major anxiety during finals, barely got through it, but do you know what we call medical students who finish last in their class? Doctor. University is nothing, you know basically nothing after finish it, for most things it makes 0 difference whether you finish it with a B+ average or a D-, no one has ever asked me what grades I got in Uni (though I am in software development so YMMV).

Second of all have you considered not finishing Uni at all? Plenty of well paying jobs out there, something that might even make you happy. Trade jobs. Don’t fall victim to the sunk cost fallacy of having finish something because you already invested so much time and effort into it.

And lastly, get in touch with a professional, whatever you are going through is temporary, life is awesome, but short, focus on the positives, don’t waste it worrying about meaningless shit like degrees and status and how others are doing, you do you mate.

Well Civ 7 will be very similar with the generals, what I didnt like personally was managing the items for the units and stuff

https://examine.com/articles/does-metabolism-vary-between-two-people/?srsltid=AfmBOorZB7hjoCjkq1bI_PhVWvT7Y-AKXz8apPWiUrCy-VvCxJdkhH0d

Extending this into practical terms and assuming an average expenditure of 2000kcal a day, 68% of the population falls into the range of 1840-2160kcal daily while 96% of the population is in the range of 1680-2320kcal daily. Comparing somebody at or below the 5thpercentile with somebody at or above the 95thpercentile would yield a difference of possibly 600kcal daily, and the chance of this occurring (comparing the self to a friend) is 0.50%, assuming two completely random persons.

To give a sense of calories, 200kcal (the difference in metabolic rate in approximately half the population) is approximately equivalent to 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, a single poptart (a package of two is 400kcal) or half of a large slice of pizza. An oreo is about 70kcal, and a chocolate bar in the range of 150-270kcal depending on brand.

So a majority of people are within 3 pieces of Oreos in tems of metabolism difference and the extreme end is 9 piece of difference, but 96 % pf people are within 6 oreos of each other.

Metabolism differences are negligible between people, barring some disease. OP might just be a genetic outlier in terms of being able to put on muscle mass.

You also dont need to be a gymbro to put on muscle mass, 2-3 times a week 30-60 minutes in the gym is all it takes.

This video is excellent and these exercises can be easily done in 30 minutes and will yield better results than doing random pushups during the day.
