You’re young. I switched jobs and profession twice already. For me, it was the other way around and back again. Came from programming (10 years) then Linux adminstration (2 years) and decided to do Geography. Studied it and the programming skills helped me there, too.

There is always something you can take with you to the next job or profession.

I wasn’t lucky to get a job where I can use my Geography studies so I am now almost 2 years in web programming. I did not have much experience in the field, but I found a place where my Linux adminstration knowledge is useful and I improved web backend programming skills (PHP) on the job.

Soft skills count, too. Reliablity, ability to work in a team. Recruiters look for those things.

And btw. I got my Linux knowledge initially only from personal unpaid studies and projects in my free time.

I guess, I have too many (new) songs in my playlist. Would I otherwise get in a programming tunnel easier?

Yes, I know, there is music for programming, but it is all new to me, hence too exciting and I get distracted. I have to test things.

I wouldn’t trust them writing emails.

Thx both of you. This meme seems to tell only one side of the story, but it seems to be very true.

Btw., you don’t have to live in the US to experience police violence. I called the cops once to protect me from another cop.

PHP likes to have a word with you. (:

Yes, totally agree, and it applies to formats and language syntaxes even if braces are used.

I recently switched to gnome-web (epiphany) from qutebrowser because it has gotten better in the past months. If a page makes the browser slow, I blame the webpage. In most cases, I can avoid the shitty webpage.

But still, I hope it catches up for the instances I have no choice and open a different browser for a specific webpage.

I have a blocker for Friday afternoon meetings.

That’s why they are only half the length. ^^

Sheeps are cute!

VSCode has theme support; there are light themes, that are not so bright and dark themes that aren’t that dark.

I prefer a very dark gray, a very good font (Iosevka, tuned to my needs) and an appropiate font size (because wearing glasses).

I hope, I never get this senior title. It is complete BS to me. And I am glad, that my junior status is gone for good and I have a job title that does not try to tell something about my expierience!

What about time on a different planet? What would be a common time"zone" for Mars and Earth?

But sometimes Copilot just uses too much words to present the answer, so I use ChatGPT which can be personalized.

(Maybe it is possible with Copilot, too, maybe I have to ask how to do it)

It depends, I propably won’t understand the most english idioms, but I am able to hate the ones in my native language, because some of them are very stupid. ^^

“I’l have …” - No, you don’t. You may get it, if you ask for it. I hate when people use that snobby way of stating that they already have what they trying to get!

For some stuff I had more luck using ChatGPT and crosscheck using DuckDuckGo.

I salute you.

But which version?

While this is very funny, I think with PHP you can achieve error traces like in Java, nowadays. And no, I am (not) a senior PHP developer. ^^

Edit: I used PHP-4 ages ago and now I am relearning >=PHP-8. Not sure whether junior or senior.
