I qualified for my first dev job by being interested in programming, and knowing my way around the command line (Linux is best), git, vim, and Python. practicing with things like leetcode, advent of code, and making things with apps like pelican and pyxel is a great way to ease into it and tread water until you can get that first role.

just don’t let it make you feel helpless. there’s always going to be a lot that you don’t know. taking a deep breath and accepting that is the way towards thriving.

you’re askinghow did it cause me anguish, or how did I emotionally heal?

I went quite a few years making oatmeal for myself and my kids every day, usually with brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and frozen blueberries.

the kids have stopped enjoying it, though, after all the repetition, so we’ve started doing breakfast cereal, Raisin Bran and one of the Cheerios permutations that has some oat/nut ingredients, so these days I just have Raisin Bran.

I’m circumcised and it has caused me so much mental anguish and pain. I’ve done the work of nurturing myself back to a mentally healthy place about it, but I beg you not to put another person in that position if you can avoid it.

A lot of resources? Yes. A lot of good resources? No. DuckDuckGo for it and you’ll find a lot of blogspam.

we got there in Worm early and often

it’s a lot of work!

ridiculous. not even contesting that they are a monopoly, or that they engage in illegal conduct!

because I wanted the “punchline” to come at the end of the meme so I reversed it.

I did look up the help for that function to make this meme but I must have missed that option. in my defense I’ve only been using Python for like 10 years

it works in Ruby on Rails but not in bare-naked Ruby, if that gives you a hint of how the language’s architecture makes things easy for you and also might stab you in the back one day.

I don’t think it matters to your dental health as long as it’s not a regular thing. but for me, I would always rebrush in a scenario like that just because I can’t really go to sleep without a freshly brushed mouth.

I wish the submission title said “claims” and not “reminds”. it’s not as though this shit is actually lawful, not according to our fundamental legal document the Constitution.

great suggestion, it’s just hard to imagine a trans person who owns a Switch not already owning it.

I guess if you do them wrong enough! 😂

what was the exercise? bench press?

I truly drank my fill of the first game. I found it to be an exemplary of “generous” game development with all the unlockable characters and the “dark/ hell world” and the unlockable lo-fi mini-version of the game, and IMO you can see that generosity also in how it influenced future successful games such as Celeste (also has a fun lo-fi pico8 version of itself for instance). ugh I just loved it so much. no I’m down for them to make a 3D game. I would die for them
