I find that it’s good to ask questions that allow them to vent further.

Like most buzzwords, gaslight has lost its meaning.

The trick is to do the hobbies for their own sake instead of using them as a means to an end.

Gaslighting is convincing someone that they perceived or remembered things incorrectly. That’s a very specific kind of manipulation.

The silver lining here is that the world has gained an extremely compelling argument for regulations.

Epics don’t have to be huge. And stories don’t need to be attached to epics in the first place.

An epic is just a way to organize features. There’s no hard and fast rule for how many features are needed to form an epic.

If the work is expected to make it into the deliverable product, then it should fall under a feature. Either add it to an existing feature or create a new one. I prefer the former because it results in less deceptive forecasts.

Methylphenidate always works. It’s just a question of dosage lol

The fragmentation of communities needs to be addressed. The fact is that most people just want to consume content. There needs to be a client-side solution that helps less tech-savvy users to more easily consume content from similar communities.

I personally like the duplicates because different communities have different comments.

Make it user specific. Feeds are combined solely from the individual user’s perspective. Consumption would be easier but submissions are still federated.

If the mods are gone, then large subreddits become a legal liability.

You’ll have to use the search option and hope for good results. The fragmentation of communities seems to be a rising topic these days. While it’s good that posts and comments are fragmented, I think personal feeds should be consolidatable.

Is it really? I feel like people in war torn countries have more important shit to care about. This might be another instance of “terminally online person being offended on someone else’s behalf”

Advice on choosing between two things that are only marginally different.

I don’t know how things are today but when I was a kid, some of my textbooks and many of my worksheets were in comic sans.

Or just make it user-side. Let users create their own feed combinations. They’d still have to select a specific instance for posts.

Feeds would be consolidated but posts and comments will still be federated. And one user will be unaffected by how another user organizes their feed.

Shit I might just try this out. I hope my colleagues don’t notice.

Shipping is essentially fan fiction. It’s fine as long as nobody takes anything too seriously.

Don’t take too long trying to figure out a challenge by yourself. Ask questions. Unlike in school, you are allowed to ask for help with your work.

Learn how to write unit testable code as soon as possible (SOLID principles). Learn how to write concise and relevant unit tests. If it’s not in your team’s culture to write unit tests, then you go be that guy. It’s good for you and it’s good for the product. Unit tests are one of the few things in the programming community that everybody believes are a good thing.
