I don’t know that I’m fully able to articulate my opinion on this, but I’ll give it a try.
Overall, I feel like a lot of companies took “market conditions” for granted in the past 3 - 5 years. They didn’t really make any significant improvements. In fact, some of them are notably worse. All that in spite of raising prices and lowering quality/standards. For a time, they may have been correct – no matter how much they sucked, they’d still rake in the profits. Perhaps now the short sighted decisions are biting them in the ass?
I don’t have a lot of experience with some of the companies listed, but Target and FedEx for sure have declined in the value they offer me, in my anecdotal experience.
FedEx is a decent shipping option for my area, with some caveats and annoyances. But in the past 5 years, nearly every time I’ve opted to pay for expedited shipping with them, they’ve failed to deliver on time. So I’m fine with their cheaper standard shipping options, but the more expensive stuff is a waste of money.
Target is an okayish retailer for what it is, but there are so few locations that my experience with them over the past 3 - 5 years is primarily online. Their e-commerce platform is alright, but the selection is noticeably limited compared to the alternatives. Initially the online site either didn’t have 3rd party sellers or it was very limited. But now those have taken over a lot of categories and products, making the Target website as hit or miss as the others, so there’s no real incentive for me to check them out when I’m shopping.

I find this experience particularly annoying. I go to Target.com to find stuff sold by Target. I don’t need another place for random no-name companies to hawk their wares. Especially since a lot of it just seems like drop ship crap.
I can’t get a bead on this guy. I know he actually believes in Covid vaccinations, he followed through on the voice of his constituents by enshrining abortion access, and now he’s advocating for trans youth and he’s a REPUBLICAN?!?!? On social issues he passes the vibe check, yet somehow still a Republican. I don’t get it
I’m a programmer and I don’t think I’ve ever been asked about my education… not that I have much I’m mostly self taught. Even so, I can’t imagine what more education could give me to show in an interview.
The opensource community changes SOP for all of us basically every quarter so how is my education supposed to keep up with that?
What is the best way to teach yourself programming? I love tinkering with technology systems in my home, and have often thought about how writing simple programs could unleash some extra potential, but I don’t know where to start.
We programmers share our knowledge freely in user manuals, tutorials, articles and YouTube videos.
But in my experience the only thing that I see slowing down new programmers is motivation. You can’t really learn code without having a reason to apply what you’ve learned. You have to come up with a reason first, That’s my best advice.
I have ideas of things to do, but since I am starting from 0, I don’t even know what language to aim for, or what is a reasonable project to start with. I feel like I could definitely figure things out on my own from tutorials if I just had some basic primer about what’s out there and what things are typically designed to do.
I don’t know what I don’t know, so it is hard to know what questions I need to ask.

Perfect! You’ve taken the hardest step. I can give you advice from here.
Computers only really do 3 types of work, there can be more but most can be summarized like this:
Displaying things on screen: this only ever happens on the end user’s device. React and React native are the best options for that.
Copying data from one spot to the next: simple operations to get data from one location, reencode it and send it somewhere else, wether to the end user’s device or another database its all the same work. Typescript is best suited for that.
Hard work: processing large blobs of data like reencoding pictures and videos, consuming megabytes of data at a time and running a calculation. Go is best suited for that.
Thank you so much for your responses! I feel a lot more encouraged after this conversation. You never know how the seeds you plant may grow—and you’ve definitely planted one today.
I think I’ll start with some basic move and rename stuff since that would save me some manual work, and then I’ll see how I can grow from there.
To some people, any talk of race comes across as playing the “race card”. The chance that they were taught next to nothing about the experience and history of other races/classes in this country is very high.
Believe it or not, people might not always have abortion at the top of their list when they’re moving. In fact I’m willing to bet cost of living is near the top of their list.
Spot on. Migration is a major factor in affecting political change anyway.
Some of these comments are so out of touch. The irony is that people who blanket support pro choice will go extinct as they abort more of their children over time or don’t reproduce at all (the people above you in this chain). Conservative people don’t abort (now by law) - their population will grow. Thus more anti-abortion laws will happen.
There is such thing as being the annoying ass that goes around doing outrageous shit and wants attention.
If you want clicks just show your genitals online. distracting Joe Shmoe who is struggling to maintain motivation between reps by flaunting your bits is NOT cool.
“The beach had a lot of looky loos out here,” Williams said. Before the wave hit the hotel, the scene outside was joyful. “There was a couple smaller bigger waves that came in, washed a railroad tie out in the street here. Kids were giggling.”
But once waves began reaching the street, the situation changed. One wave that washed onto Seaward dragged a man a short distance down the street. And people became trapped near their cars.
Some people just don’t think about consequences before doing dumb shit. Glad no one died.
Lol. Nobody cares. They redefined mass shootings and it’s just been an intensive campaign over decades to get rid of the one right makes the USA different while not mentioning anything like per capita. I’m not American, just been watching the propaganda since before the internet
Says that’s exactly what he did. He used the allotted area for handicap patrons. But they determined since it’s not a wheelchair that he’s got to go. But I don’t expect you end up a manager of an AMC in Greenville, South Carolina for making good decisions.
