NGL I apply to places where I use the software. But it’s not one thing, it’s a dozen things I would fix.
I actually never successfully got the job. Probably because during the interview, I come off like a rambling psychopath pointing out extremely specific things.
Part of my previous company’s hiring process included having the candidate use our software, then asking what they thought of the experience and what improvements they thought would have the most impact. It wasn’t entirely useful because devs weren’t in control of prioritizing changes, but it was always interesting to see which pain points stuck out to the candidate.
It does give some insight into how people think. Some people are bothered with UI events and placement, others wanted to reduce the bandwidth it required, we had one girl who approached it focused on the accessibility of the software, and unfortunately for us support was abysmal. You also need thick skin to invite random joe off the street to tell you how your software sucks.
Honestly, anybody with a gender studies degree can get into software developer nowadays no sweat, nowadays the fortune 500 standards are so low that they’ll just hire anyone on the spot without even questioning it. Honestly only started to take note of this the second Biden got into office, the quality of software overall has gone down. Overall, back to open source, I never truly got the open source movement in general, never been my thing. Proprietary software is inheitly more secure which is why most enterprise systems still use windows xp.
I actually stopped being friends with my college friends because of online games.
They literally would have me buy a game to play 30 minutes of it, get bored and then demand we play League of Legends or Valorant if they wanted to try and hit on girls in voice chat. They literally complain about how broke they are either living with their parents or in an apartment wlthey can barely afford and showed me how they spent at least $10k on League skins each over the years.
I just can’t throw away money like they do and never did. Plus the incel like behavior and really awful things they say while getting upset if you make fun of them at all has this air of delicate mentality that can’t handle any kind of stress even if it’s figuring out a new game made me want nothing to do with them.
So now I play single player games again or stardew because my SO only plays it.
Might be interesting if we could compare the percentage of pitbulls that have killed or maimed a child versus the percentage of IDF soldiers that have killed or maimed a child.
Maybe even more informative would be the average number of children killed or maimed per pitbull versus the average number of children killed or maimed per IDF soldier 🤔
This version from the gospel of John is far more interesting than the others, what with all the whipping.
And not just any whip: Jesus made it from a leather thong from his own sandal, switches (small, thin branches) from a nearby tree, and broken pieces of pottery on the ground! That’s a very nasty whip!
Satan won’t be catching anything. He’s going to be chilling on the sidelines with us as we get front-row seats to Jesus getting his ass beat by a Bible thumper who is mad about Jesus not voting for Trump.
