If they won't use signal or similar then they're kind of shitty, but sometimes with friends and family that's how it is.

I've known several people who moved from QA and testing to developer roles, but usually as an internal transfer.

Most recruiters and management don't know shit about fuck when it comes to technical details, so it's not surprising a lot of them think "Oh the guy who knows how software works and how to handle edge cases? No, we don't want him"

prohibits gatherings of more than 20 people on open land where the music played consists wholly or predominantly of “a succession of repetitive beats”

This is a monstrous law and everyone involved in its passage should be barred from politics and positions with decision making power.

Fuck test automation, it’s a fucking trap get out of it as soon as you can

lol.

Meanwhile, the org I work at has no test automation, so things that should be trivial require hours of tedious, error-prone, manual testing. Also they break stuff and don't find out until after it's merged.

The only noise I hear is my music playing from a speaker and a fan. I'm getting natural light from the windows. I have curtains in my bedroom that turn it into a cave.

The pollution, maybe. A lot of that is caused by cars. My parents lived out in the suburbs, but rather close to a major highway that wasn't good for environmental quality, and was loud.

Cities aren't loud. Cars are loud.

They chose to go into this business. If they can't do the job in a way customers like while making a profit and paying fair amounts for labor, fuck em don't do the business.

Unsure if my Text really makes sense tho as its a bunch of Weird Nonsense im typing out as i suck at expressing myself via Text but maybe someone can relate? >.<

Line breaks between paragraphs help. Emojis don't. Writing is a skill you can practice, so don't give up.

To your point, maybe you're just getting older? There's always been a small number of breakouts and a bunch of clones and shovel-ware. When you're a kid, things are new and unlimited in their potential. As you get older, you realize that the game world is limited

I find the step- stuff unappealing but this doesn't seem like a good use of government power.

I feel like most of the time saved is by skipping the part where you learn stuff. Like, the AI fills out how you do a left join with this ORM library. Cool. Now I don't know how to do that.

You know how a lot of managers are annoying and don't know anything about how shit works? That's down the road using LLMs like this.
