Just because I know there are people who think this meme is just a random combination due to corn being popular at the time: Corn Snakes actually exist! They're one of the most popular species of pet snake!
I use Purelymail for Email, just because it was the cheapest and easiest solution to use my own domain without having to host anything myself. I don't think any other Email service will beat their 10$ per year price.
For search engine, I have tried Kagi but just didn't see the point. My DDG searches are perfectly fine and I still find everything I need with relative ease. Although I've been actually needing the search engine much less recently as I've embraced just reading the official documentation for things I program with haha
My brother keeps doing that, so I literally told him "I will not answer your message unless you state what you want in your first message".
It's been about a year since I answered any of his messages. He usually just tells our parents and they ask me in a more reasonable manner.
wait I'm out of the loop, what happened in 2023? My first full time software engineer job started in January 2023 so I might have missed whatever it was?
Maybe not as a dev, but those qualifications make you perfect for tech support. The support people where I work have their own beer fridge plus dedicated lockable containers for their liquor and no one would ever dare mess with that. And if you're good at support, there's a high chance you'll get promoted to the Product Owner role pretty fast!
Not to spread concern or anything, but the electrical grid is managed and controlled by software. And that software may or may not be very reliant on AWS. I'm probably not allowed to say more than that.
Because it's not fun. Coming up with algorithms and elegant code is the most fun part about programming for me, and debugging pages of sloppy code is the least fun. AI makes the parts I like less fun and increases the amount of sloppy bullshit code I have to debug.
I've been refusing to use any AI tools at all and luckily my manager respects that, even if he uses AI for basically everything he does. If the company ever decides to mandate it I'll just have the AI write all my code and commit it with no checks. With the worker's rights here, it'll take several months to fire me anyways.
Really depends on which lens of veganism you view it through. I usually judge things by the economic lens, where veganism is the response to capitalism incentivising the exploitation of animals. It's probably one of the easiest ways to think about it, but essentially it goes like "As long as you don't pay money for exploitation, you're fine"So roadkill would be fine. Saving food that would be thrown out is fine. Shoplifting is fine. Served the wrong thing at the restaurant- Complain and get your money back. Second hand down jacket from a relative who would have thrown it away otherwise - gross but fine. Stealing chickens from a factory farm and eating some of their eggs- fine. Et cetera.
I don't think that sort of logical line can be applied to anything but individuals though. I still wouldn't be buying leather from a company that claims to only use roadkill, as my money would still be a financial incentive to expand the operation.
Nah if anything, I'm the one going "Girl you're on your 7th coffee, go get checked for adhd" to my coworkers. Nothing wrong in getting help for something that can be helped, no matter how "easy" the struggle might seem.
Can confirm, I do struggle with empathy (more in the autism way than the socio/psychopath way though) and don't really catch yawns from anyone. I will still pretend to yawn when someone else does though, because I know that not doing that will make them subconsciously wary of me
