The new hobby process

Jump

  • This is why I don't usually tell anyone. Although last time I worked on a project I told a bunch of people hoping it would incentivise me to finish. Did it work? Oh my no.

    • Another day another dollar

    Jump

  • If only I could be so grossly incandescent.

    • Which programming languages do you know?

    Jump

  • Java/Kotlin and JavaScript/Typescript primarily now. I used to know Visual Basic, PHP, C/C++, and COBOL; but I haven't touched any of them in almost 20 years now.

    • The perfect way to round out your career

    Jump

  • Been a developer for 20 years and the temptation to quit and be a stay-at-home Dad is really tempting if it was at all financially viable.

    • James Webb telescope confirms there is something seriously wrong with our understanding of the universe

    Jump

  • Even though I won't be there for it, somehow heat death makes me very sad.

    • The Art versus The Artist

    Jump

  • Either that or the Bill Murray panel cause he's in it too.

    • I hate that guy

    Jump

  • "Dad enters the room."

    • Top Republican says party base "infected" by Russian propaganda

    Jump

  • Deep cut.

    • They had some good ideas, but they also had some really bad ideas.

    Jump

  • It also had a great soundtrack!

    • They had some good ideas, but they also had some really bad ideas.

    Jump

  • Thanks! I knew I recognized it but not from where.

    • Anakin hates spice. It's coarse and gets everywhere

    Jump

  • It didn't occur to me until now that Luke just casually says his dad was a drug runner.

    • What are y'all buying on the steam sale?

    Jump

  • If you want wrestling RPGs I highly recommend Kaiju Big Battel: Fighto Fantasy.

    Jump

  • I loved Pentiment! I found the story really engaging and the setting felt pretty unique.

    • Tell me what it means

    Jump

  • To watch different channels, you may have needed to turn a rotor to turn the roof antenna because the stations were in a different physical direction.

    • Piracy Isn't Civil Disobedience Rule

    Jump

  • Nobody cares and it doesn't matter at all, but I used to be a prolific pirate when I was a teenager and in my early 20s. As I got older and had more money, I started paying for everything. I wanted to support and pay for the things that I liked. Over time, entertainment has become so costly and so inconvenient, and older media is harder and harder to access, so I threw up my hands and started pirating again. Not everything, I still pay for games and a streaming service or two, but I'm back to piracy all the same.

    • Knowledge Based Rules

    Jump

  • I still think about the Heart Cube puzzle with the observatory and red stars in that game sometimes.

    • Conservative government would require websites to verify age to watch porn: Poilievre

    Jump

  • But also, yes, there are some people who hate Trudeau on principle. My holidays this year were exhausting.

    Yes, me too. I get it from both my side and my wife's side of the family and it's absolutely exhausting. I'm feeling like an outcast these days. It's especially upsetting because my family USED to be more liberal in general. I have no idea what changed, but now Trudeau is evil as far as they're concerned.

    • This is painfully true

    Jump

  • Haha, hire developers? No, no, no. Doesn't off-the-shelf software just work? /s

    • This is painfully true

    Jump

  • Haha, no, cause then I'd be paid more.

    • This is painfully true

    Jump

  • And then the logging shows that nobody uses half the fields, but the business won't let you remove any.
