that’s why I’m so on the fence about spamming my tech skills in resume. on one hand it’s completely factual and is probably favoured by whatever AI garbage is processing the resume.
on the other hand to the human that reads it. it’s probably just dumb and hard to prove, they’re not going to test me on 20 competency skills for the things I have listed
this failing isn’t on you though. AAA games is not what it used to be, I feel like between 2008 to 2014 game companies have all progressed and transitioned into something they didn’t use to be.
my $4k gaming PC at this point is a glorified FFXIV machine although, I do plan to play other things soon.
”its garbage but I love it" should be more commonly said than dying on a hill defending the most unremarkable b-movie
that’s exactly why I’m saying this. I know from experience helping other devs with git issues it’s always because they’re using a GUI alternative to the CLI and they’re clicking on things they don’t understand
let’s turn this into a constructive angle for future devs and current juniors: just learn git cli, I promise you it is much simpler than it seems.
all those memes about git having like a thousand commands are true, but you really will only use like 7 at most per month.
learn push, pull, merge, squash, stash, reset, im probably missing like one or two
I promise you again: it is much simpler than it seems. and you won’t have to use these stupid git GUI things, and it will save you a hassle because you will know what commands you are running and what they do
short disclaimer: using git GUI is totally fine but low-key you are missing out on so much
GitHub CI is great. too great. some devs have taken it upon their hands to attempt and wield an unwieldy power.
and unfortunately at my work it is my job to fix that unwieldy power
there’s a brand I like that sells fast fashion (sue me) with 0 branding on any of their clothing items
I have like a dozen sweaters from them, they aren’t as cheap as they used to be but nothing is now
If you don’t have access to Linux, MacOS is the closest commercially available option so it makes sense.
Also please take what I said lightly, I by no means want to bash Mac users and generalize them. It just has been my experience. I’m sure there are thousands of highly competent technical users who prefer Mac.
I think it’s on a case by case basis but having help desk ppl help you out and opening powershell and noodling without any concept of problem solving made me make this face once.
It probably goes both ways, I’m a dev and I assembled computers at 12 yo so I believe I have a lot of experience and knowledge when it comes to hardware. I’ve also written code for embedded platforms.
IT people in my pov can really come across as enthusiast consumers when it comes to their hardware knowledge.
“did you guys hear Nvidia has the new [marketing term] wow!” . Have you ever thought about what [marketing term] actually does past just reading the marketing announcement?
At the same time I swear to God devs who use macs have no idea how computers work at all and I mean EXCLUDING their skill as a dev. I’ve had them screen share to see what I imagine is a baby’s first day on a computer.
To close this rant: probably goes both ways
Just web, which is bullshit cause i literally work with like 3 OSs and 5 programming languages, ci cd. I just get thrown into a random project and come out with solutions. I told my manager my title should be software dev but he disagreed, shucks I guess.
Eh, not sure if this is true at all. I think the reality is that niche specialized roles are valuable (frontend expert) but you are not “hacking” your way in full stack unless you are a junior or just bad at development.
I don’t consider myself to be hacking anything I do, even things I’m not as strong in (ci cd) I pay full attention to documentation and examples before blinding coding or writing ci scripts
My manager gave me a talk about how I couldnt be intermediate because I don’t have enough years there. My friend intermediate is about pay and my YOE not about my tenure here (won’t be long till I quit)
They do according to can stats
I work full stack and even do dev operations and my title is not “full stack” and I believe the reason why is so HR can argue to pay me less.
Don’t forget fetus deletus.
These kids really need more supervision.
Memories of using an air mattress are when sleeping over at friends places being drunk and hot and the stupid mattress wraps around me as I sink in it and my body heat just heats up the whole thing and I woke up all sweaty.
You could say I’m not a fan
Yeah, AC overall is very anti OSS philosophies
The sheer power of instantly switching desktops in Linux makes the windows user afraid.
But I have seen a lot of old windows heads look at Linux for gaming performance where Microsoft is failing them with bloatware such as copilot.
I don’t think the rootkit anti cheats would ever work to a level windows games developers want it to on Linux though.
every time I see this it always follows with comment that reopens the issue. inactive != resolved.
