Im not sure if this helps anyone but I used to tell my jr devs the same thing:

1. You got the job.
2. You are now a developer.

The article somewhat goes over this but: Learning to code is a life long thing. You just keep getting better each day with practice. Im not sure about the phases though. Definitely the “job ready” portion of the article. It seems short sighted to say you need all those things and going through each of the “phases” in order to be successful. Just solve a problem. With software. Congrats!

I have that casio watch. Its still working after many years of usage. The buttons are much too small for my hands, but its just a nice watch in particular.

It’s just complicated enough that only power users will use it. At least on what it looks like at the moment.

While I would love people to come over to mastodon (or mastodon adjacent) I personally think this is a step in the right direction. Having more fediverse adjacent platforms makes it easier for people to communicate in a much less platform specific conglomeration.

It’s this last two years where it has gotten really bad in my opinion. Before you could at least navigate the ads ridden site. Now base Google search is tremendously worse.

To me it just means job security. But I get you, some of those people will become your boss…and it generally sucks.

Remember ask Jeeves?

Honestly it usually starts with chatgpt or ai. I’ve been watching my younger coworkers.

It’s not a bad thing per-say but sometimes it’s wildly wrong and they don’t question where it comes from. Which bites them when we do reviews/code.

Nice I’ll get a mirror. Don’t trust GitHub + emulation nowadays.

Good

It would be best to let the users to choose their own preference.

My suggestion, get as many private copies of emulators you can before they go after all the Github ones. Seems to be more and more take-downs are happening lately.

It really is too bad we dont have a federated github alternative. I know theres some projects in development, but I can see the emulator scene getting harder and harder to get into if popular repos go down. Decades of work, gone.

The big ones:

Now Nintendo is seeking the court’s approval to actually subpoena Reddit for user records. These records, if shared, could identify additional moderators or users tied to the r/SwitchPirates subreddits. Nintendo argues that these records are critical to building their case against others in the alleged piracy …

In addition to requesting records from Reddit, Nintendo’s filing also makes appeals for information from other companies, including domain registrars such as Namecheap and GoDaddy, along with firms such as Cloudflare, Github, Google, and Discord.

Probably Hackaday. https://lemmy.world/c/hackaday@rss.ponder.cat

My favorite was all the “if elon” code debacles lol. The code was hilarious.

I read the article and im still confused.

Last week our SaaS vendor went down for a good 2 days. The vendor the company spends about 1.1 million per year to keep running. It doesn’t bother me really, just means I can concentrate on other things(and I get paid either way), but its amazing what other companies run as their infrastructure.

Makes me feel good with my equivalent potato servers.

The author has had many articles here.

I’ve been enjoying it. It’s a really small alternative to mastodon on a home server. It doesn’t use up nearly as much data/though put as mastodon.

One very specific 3d printer program, greetings workshop (my mom had the program back in the day and she likes getting cards from it), Starcraft1 and Starcraft2 (works pretty well!), some contract specific programs. Theres a couple of others I have hooked up, but you get the idea.

If it doesn’t work the first time, I usually go on https://appdb.winehq.org/ or the proton specific one and take a look.
