* I keep hearing about AI replacing "grunt coders". I have decades of experience and have never seen a "grunt coder". I honestly have no idea what this refers to. Wouldn't such repetitive tasks already be automated by code generators or declarative programming practices?

I know quite a few at my company. They pick up a simple ticket, they do the work, they move on to the next one. No long term projects, no desire to really rise above. Just pick up a ticket, do it, and move on. Typically they are on a bug / support team and just churn through tickets that can't be automated out with fixes.

Nothing wrong with that in my opinion, companies need maintenance on their code base, that may be the number problem area I see in companies the lack of maintenance on their code base in terms of bugs and even updating dependencies to avoid falling behind on vulnerabilities

I've heard of it. I pay it no mind

Yeah Sigma is horrible to deal with

Depends on the game

Feeling the burnout / shutdown feelings now. Moment like this reconfirm my suspicions about myself

I heard it wasn't half bad

PS2, gamecube and xbox graphics are when 3D started aging gracefully to me.

Like I still wince at some real booty early PS1, N64 depending on the game and sega saturn 3D, but PS2/gamecube/xbox is gorgeous in comparison.

Yeah as a whole that's the generation with graceful aged 3D Graphics

PS1 Era has some positive expectations to the rule like Spyro Year of the Dragon but I'm general the 3D games look rough on PS1

PS2 Graphics is the first level where I say the 3D graphics are good enough to be presentable regardless of era

PS1 / N64 era is too archaic, but PS2 / Dreamcast+ is when it becomes functional

It's one of those things where (outside of the ADHD diagnosis) I don't really know what the actual benefit of being diagnosed as an adult is + the government is supposedly tracking autism diagnoses now, so I don't really care to find out for certain.

I function in society and have a wife, house and career so it doesn't seem worth the effort to find out for sure.

I'm happy for you and wish you the best in life. I understand how you feel. Certain things happened with me recently in terms of functioning/fitting in at work and also at a recent social gatherings where I feel like I started to realize maybe I do have this disorder. Mainly feeling like I'm going to have a total shutdown while amongst people then embarrass myself because I can't keep up maintaining the "frame" I hold when socializing

Also as a youth I would become mute at certain points of times especially in school. Initially I thought/knew it was Social Anxiety but after discovering more I think it's deeper than that

Or maybe part of myself was in denial, because my peers always thought I was weird but I wouldn't accept it as having any type of mental "deficit". Even my family would call me "slow" at times though. All of those would effect my self esteem.

Maybe it's all a sign that I had this disorder but no one knew exactly what it was. Or maybe people thought I would grow out of it or unlearn/overcome it. Or maybe it was denial or I didn't want to accept it due to the stigma

Right now I rather know regardless of any stigma though because it would at least explain a lot in my life and give me more clarity

That is really concerning that the government is tracking Autism diagnosis' though, I would much prefer not to be tracked

I may be but I wouldn't really know how to get tested

Yeah I don't know where to start either

Also I worry about misdiagnosis because adult me has suppressed/masked the symptoms heavily since the age of 14 when I actively started working on how to be more "normal"

Just hoping that if I do go through the evaluation process I don't fall through the cracks

After learning the symptoms and looking at my life experience to this day

My Mother once in a conversation with our neighbor said she think I might be Autistic, I don't know if she was being 100% serious though

I moved on to Firefox on my work computer, will probably move on all personals soon

Heard of it. Know it's related to CI/CD

Containerization

Crazy I remember when I made this account, feels like yesterday

Thats honestly really sweet, thank you :)

You're welcome! I have workplace anxiety too sometimes so this is what I have to remind myself when it gets too tough

On your off day or after your shift, breath in and breath out. Even get a drink or something play some video games relax lay down and remember the feeling you had when you initially received the job offer. And remember that they hired you for a reason, and keep your head held high and understand no matter what your performance is on your job, you are a valuable person and your purpose is greater than what ever your current employment may be

RI was originally double the size of CE at least. Circa 2005-2008.

4TB looks like the best deal

Boktai deserves to be way higher on the list

For just one city? I might choose Miami or Vegas or LA

Israel is an extension of the United States. The faster people realize this, the more sense it'll make when these politicians will sit there and feed you bullshit while they vote to send more weapons to Israel.

Yeah you're right to an extent but if the common American is not in support, which it looks like we are not, then there may be enough power amongst the people to stop any USA involvement

Or maybe that's just wishful thinking

Now Iran is going to retaliate along with who knows who else

The USA is not going to join in on this one. And if it does, I know I'm not getting involved. F*** that

I know I'm not touching this conflict with a 10 foot pole, anyone who does is foolish

They never were tbh

That's like concert prices, he's a professional artist

It's okay

That's interesting because I was just playing it on an arcade machine at a Pizzeria recently

In NYC a slice of Pizza Pie is $1.50 near 34th Street. It's also really good

Well I'm sure there are some people that hate me already so what's the difference?

The more you swipe right the more the algorithm sabatoges you I think

That's a nice combo

They already do with the Ultimate Editions

The problem with Software Engineering is that at times you have a mix of the worst attributes of nerds and corporate people all into one big pot. With varying degrees of each depending on who you interact with

Nice. Good for her

If you live with her you might be best off just doing your best to salvage the relationship, until you're able to move out.

At least you may have somewhat of a peaceful coexistence?

Stay Strong TC, I understand I've been through one and it changed the trajectory of my life

Extremely hard, almost hellish. Gives me 24 hours anxiety. Also gives me extreme work anxiety even when I'm on the job because I dread having to go out and do the interview process if I ever need to get another job

No not even close, I think even LA is more congested. And some of the cities in India and China knock it out the park

Happy Birthday

No and it Depends

But I voted No and No

I work 5 days a week and bring about that home at the moment.

But those 5 days are intense days

Thank you TC

So happy for you congrats

Yeah let her know be yourself
