No, thanks. Unions make jobs go overseas.

Lol. I’m not worried about the pinkos, they have no backbone.

I’m also in no way a professional writer.

How about this weather?

Don’t underestimate small talk. It lets people take their wall down.

A $200k horror movie that can be out in 3 months. It’s about a serial killer who steals the teeth from his victims.

My script mixes highly defined characters, supernatural cosmic horror, and old world body horror. It’s goes off the rails in terrifying and fun ways.

Ps: I actually have a script ready to go and have no hangups about scabbing.

Dune is exactly what Lucas was copying when he wrote Star wars.

I’m also a data analyst, so I sense sarcasm, but in case you’re not:

A big beef is excel can’t handle decimals larger than 6 places iirc. So if you copy/paste, it will delete your data accuracy. Is that not fucking insane? I mean think about that for a second… The most popular data table in the world will delete your data.

There’s a whole laundry list of other things I can complain about, but the bottom line is they bought it from another company, then stopped working on it. It’s Microsoft’s entire business model: Buy it, charge for it, ignore it.

Microsoft Everything.

Boy, I sure can’t wait till VSCode and GitHub become as annoying as excel to use!

Again I do not want another computer.

Yes, a dumb terminal is exactly what I want, but mobile.

I’m not sure how to stress this enough… I do not want another computer.

I do not want another computer.

I want a wireless interface to the computer I already have.

1. Mobile hotspot/ my phone’s hotspot
2. Bluetooth Mouse/keyboard combo
3. Wireless Monitor
4. Something to convert bluetooth connections to wifi.
5. A laptop case to put it in.

If they can make laptops for $37 they can make this for $1.

I do not want a remote desktop client. I do not want another computer. I want a screen and keyboard. Do you see the difference?

How about a wireless lapdock for my desktop, so I can have the processing power in mobile form.

I feel like there was a Built to Spill song about that.

Thanks man

I hope you don’t. And I’m sorry.

I lost my best friend in February. It fucking sucks.

He was a big partier. Once he hit his late 30s he ballooned to probably over 300. He took a nap one day and had a heart attack in his little attic room of his friend’s house, where he had lived for 10 years. Our big friend group from back in the day is wondering who will go next.

What about sublemes

In my experience, there’s two ends of the developer spectrum.

At one end is uptight. They have all their shit on lockdown and the confidence that comes with that.

The other end is creative. They are developers because they enjoy creating, and development is a rare high-paying but creative outlet. They stumble through everything and get bored with reading too much documentation.

I have seen many cases of both of these, and another, underlying metric is their perception of their own intelligence.

It’s unfortunate, but a lot of them grew up in an environment where they were the smartest person in the room and were rarely challenged. Now, being in an environment with many other smart people, they only feel smart by making others feel less than.

They purposely show off their knowledge and when you give an idea they shit on it and make you feel stupid.

There’s also this thing where if you know a system really well, it’s hard to imagine someone not having the knowledge you have. This is just how memory works because our brains abstract things away and then we can’t recognize when others don’t have that abstraction yet.

This is all normal. Humanity has a lot of work to do to change this, but it’s embedded into how everything works, so it’s not going to happen in our lifetime. You can change you, but you can’t change anything else.

With that being said, here are some things I have learned, being from a similar background as you:

1. Recognize that you are smart or you wouldn’t be there.

2. Accept that others will make you feel stupid. The best response is to act like it doesn’t phase you.

3. Don’t make others feel stupid if you can help it.

4. Be enthusiastic. Any shortcomings you may have, will be forgiven if you show up with a big smile on your face.

5. Talk to your managers. Ask them what would make you better at your job, and ruthlessly pursue bettering yourself. This will give you a lot of confidence.

6. You will lose touch with your old party friends. They will die young, and you will feel sad. When you do get a chance to catch up, talk to them a lot and consider journaling it. This will help a lot when you lose them.

7. You will feel guilty because you are doing so much better than them. Accept it and move on and try not to brag about your new life.

8. You will feel out of place because your new friends don’t have the same background as you. Accept it and move on. Nobody else is worried about it.

9. Your new friends will probably not be as interesting as your old friends, and you will feel yourself becoming less interesting. This is the price we pay for our new life. If you want to stay interesting find a way to be in touch with other creative people: musicians, teachers, English majors.
