Reading the comments mine might be the weirdest...

I have prediabetes along with a dozen other health conditions lol

No I mean I think there was a miscommunication or something, I genuinely agree with everything you said except that 1 part lol. I'm not very good at explaining things, sorry

Believe it or not my first paragraph was working on medical software lol. It was good though, I liked the feeling of helping doctors help people, making the world a better place.

Unemployed / disability lol. But if I could still move around I'd probably get into something outdoorsy. Park ranger or the like. Keeping a candle lit though, in case one day I miraculously recover or medical science advances or something.

Edit: actually it's the reason I did software engineering in the first place. But actually this industry is now hostile to people with disability. Can I work from home because leaving the house is hard? No, everyone must be in office chained to your desk 9/9/6. Can I be neurodivergent? No, everyone must have constant in person meetings and work in open plan offices.

Sorry I don't really know anything about North American indigenous, I live in Australia and our mobs are very different. I think actually we're in full agreement, apart from the detail of whether it's "intelligent design" or not :)

I've always had to manually install drivers every time I set up a distro (usually Ubuntu variant). After that I do noticed it updates semi randomly over time, which usually causes some games to stop working, but c'est la vie

Planning to finish Doom Eternal, then start on my next game in my backlog, Caves of Cud. Not sure what to expect or why I bought it in the first place but we'll see! Was thinking about setting up a streaming thing too, not for money but just for fun.

It is strangely boring to be the chosen one, isn't it? My favourite Skyrim playthroughs were with the mod where you can start life as just, a ranger in the woods, or a scholar of magic, or whatever. It feels much more interesting to be boring.

Oh heck yes is the next chapter out? Been waiting what feels like forever for that.

Every day I regret buying the NVIDIA gpu lol. Next time I'm getting AMD for sure

Most of my career I was allowed to write code how I wanted. I made it beautiful and nice to read. It was genuinely fun to find the best way to implement each feature.

My final job, I was forced to add semicolons on new lines for each if else statement, even for early returns, remove hyphens from my comments because they were "improper grammar", put a useless giant copy pasted comment at the start of each file so you can't even see any code without scrolling, one separate file for each class even if it's an internal helper class used nowhere else, and use interfaces and MVVM for literally everything, even when it was severely over-engineering (or should I say overengineering). It just felt soul crushing to make this ugly ass code that took forever to write, just because the style guide said so.

Then A.I. happened and I quit being a software engineer completely. Telling an A.I. to do my work for me is just depressing. What's even the point anymore? I still code for fun but I'm done with the industry.

Man, logging issues are like baby's first engineering problem... That's just embarrassing
