Oh that hurts to read.

I’m less interested in the average across all text. Lots of corporate bullshit maybe.

Im more interested in % of speakers with an average higher than… 1:100 or something.

We’re two years out from the API apocalypse. I think. That’s how I got here.

I was in Vegas a couple weeks back. Same problem.

Take the win.

I mostly just use GitHub for work. I don’t think the social media bits matter.

Except stars. I’ve been told investors use stars as a proxy for interest lately. I see how bots these make a lot of sense.

All this bots stuff reminds me of an off hand part of Anathem. They had this historical arms race of garbage spread on their internet. There’s these monk folks who have been fighting it for generations. I thought it was sill years ago. Feels sane now.

Looks like I duplicated this comment. Deleting.

I follow two people. I have no idea why I did that either.

Same as lemmy username

147 people follow me. I have no idea why. I’m boring.

I’m not super involved, but I believe it’s possible to engage with Wikipedia ethically and well as a PR firm or the like. But being honest is part one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:PR_Professionals_%26_Editing

Thank you!

I think folks saying you don’t need math are right. But if you are having trouble with college algebra you might have trouble with CS. Or the teacher is bad.

Math really builds on itself at the stage where you are. Without good algebra calculus isn’t going to work well.

I’d try a different teacher. Online courses or repeating the course with another professor or something.

I’m late to this, but could a kind soul explain what I’m missing out on by using urxvt? I settled on it years ago and haven’t changed anything.

I’ve learned a lot by breaking things. By making mistakes and watching other people make mistakes. I’ve writing some blog posts that make me look real smart.

But mostly just bang code together until it works. Run tests and perf stuff until it looks good. It’s time. I have the time to write it up. And check back on what was really happening.

But I still mostly learn by suffering.

I just have to say “tastes like c” is a visceral way to say it. I approve.

I’ve stopped using stash and mostly just commit to my working branch. I can squah that commit away if I want later. But we squash before merge so it doesn’t tend to be worth it.

It’s just less things to remember.

I’m just a hacker. I’ll never be a thought leader. But I am passionate about my work. And my kids.

I love solving the problems. I have a few posts on the company blog but they put a chat bot on it a while back and didn’t care that it felt offensive to me.

But I’m here, reading this. Maybe I’m grey matter.

I recommend it. Try to go in blind.
