I used to have crackling issues with pulseaudio. It needed restarting constantly. Not issue since the switch to pipewire. So my experienced was the absolute opposite of yours.

Nice. Back down to 2.17% next month.

Steams survey doesn’t seem to be very consistent.

Fair enough. Appreciate the info.

An insulin pump doesn’t work without an app?

Sheesh, that’s dystopian? What if a diabetic doesn’t have a smart phone? Surely there is an alternative? How did they function before Android?

Shame he didn’t spend time reading up on SOLID principles, clean code, refactoring and TDD. Sounds like Jr parading as a senior. Product nerd != good developer.

Most seniors got burned so much, they refuse to build complex unsupportable stuff. KISS is king with top devs.

The fact this dude has the most experience says everything about your orgs hiring processes. Cheaping out on senior salaries.

Hey. I pay good money for that.

I’m over here, buddy…

I don’t. I just export to PDF if I need them to see formatting the same.

Cause the nerds live underground…

I mean, if it’s a bank, they’ve probably got some BS dress policy and it’s chinos, shirt, shoes.

Polo shirts aren’t smart. Folk play tennis in them and the collar is floppy AF. They look scruffier than plain round neck T-shirt.

Is there even any rules on VPNs? Wasn’t you just on holiday for a weekend?

It’s not that they don’t want from the UK, they just can’t be bothered to deal with the Online Safety Act.

If it isn’t many images, couldn’t you just login on VPN (i think proton has free one) and delete images?

Sometimes you gotta make the thing you want. Build it, publish it publicly and they’ll come.

Feels very AI generated.

That’s great to hear. Congratulations on the pay rise. You’ve clearly got valuable, transferable soils.

It is hard to keep detached, as we never truly own it until it’s ours. Good to hear you got free hardware. It’s my favourite price.

Edit: oops. This is old. Hope you’re OK and things improved.

You’re grieving for what you built. It’s good to take pride and push for better. However, you don’t own it. They pay for your time and your expertise. Love your skills and the learning. If the environment stops being right for you, plot your escape at a time that suits. Companies make shit decisions, they have and always will. They sometimes lead you to believe you have influence while it benefits then with your commitment/engagement. When that no longer suits, its the end.

What you feel is valid, it’s good you have standards and care. It’s now time to understand work is generally an exploitative relationship. Protect yourself and understand you’re being used. Find a situation where being used feels good for now and good for your bank balance.

I’d have thought this a mid-level thing. Most seniors know the cost of complexity and KISS (Keep It simple Stupid).

Or maybe she just looking for an opportunity to talk to you?

Read the issue. It’s in there.
