@ShitpostGate Chuck Norris didn't die. He just had enough of crap happening here and migrated to another dimension.

@Govindtwtt That is why people like Musk are pushing for universal guaranteed income. Ofc, that would be just high enough for you to survive.

@0xSero It is decent for what it does and it has an integrated debugger.
But the sheet number of popups is annoying

what's the most useless thing your company does that nobody questions?
I'll start:
→ 30 minute standup that could be a slack message
→ quarterly OKRs nobody looks at after Q1
→ annual reviews that change absolutely nothing
→ all hands meetings with zero real information
→ "culture fit" interviews for senior engineers
→ sprint planning for work that's already decided

Tbh, the only thing keeping me on Windows is @VisualStudio. The debugger implementation wins over any other IDE.

@jasonfried And contains nearly all food groups. Albeight in wrong proportions, but it is a start 🤣

@AntonMartyniuk In 20+ years I have never seen anyone fired because of a code review. What is this? First someone gets fired for asking a question about tech they didn't know, now a code review got somoene fired. What is next? The way they drink tea?

"Why didn't you just do X?" ❌
"Have you considered X as an alternative?" ✅
"This code will crash, fix it" ❌
"Let's focus on improving error handling here" ✅
"Only a junior would write this" ❌
"Here's a pattern that might help make this clearer" ✅

@eliana_jordan That was not a job, but a freak show. And thankfully, I haven't yet met a company or people like that in my life.
English

My mentor at my first dev job once told me:
“You will never make it to Junior 2.”
Why?
Because I asked a question about a technology I had never used before.
The next day HR and the CEO scheduled a call.
I was fired for that same reason.
Now imagine if I had a weak mindset.
That moment could’ve convinced me I wasn’t good enough.
That I should quit coding.
But I didn’t.
I laughed and kept going.
4 years later:
• I have 3 apps making money
• I code better than that mentor
• I make more than I did at that job
And more importantly, I learned things that job would never have taught me:
Infrastructure.
Security.
Marketing.
Finance.
So in a way… they were right.
I was never meant to make it to Junior 2.
I was meant to be CEO and CTO of my own things.

@SebAaltonen I agree. I love coding. Ofc there are moments when I would teade everything for an offgtid cottage, but those moments come at every job. If you love what you do, it is easier to ge through moments like that.

He's still pushing code because he's passionate. Pro tip: Turn your hobby into your job. Don't think about retiring early. You only have one life. Why would you retire from the thing you love to do?

Why is he still pushing code??

Building CertWatch taught me one thing: most cert problems aren't attacks, but expiration no one remembered to track.
If you're pinning certs and not monitoring expiry dates, you're one renewal away from a very, very bad day.

@alexcooldev Because it doesn't really matter. If you don't buy subscription, no one will see your reply anyway.
