I haven't been in the field for too long but my very first job had extensive ci/cd pipelines setup. At first I was kind of annoyed by having to write tests and having my code auto refused by lint checks. Now that I experienced a job that didn't have any automated testing, I realized how much I love TDD. Nearly all my personal projects have ci with at the very least lint checks.

Starting a project which you actually find interesting and will really use, will also help with following through. There will be boring parts to it but the excitement of having something usable will overshadow any negative feelings.

I got annoyed when they sent me to the swamps to turn off some psy antennas. Felt like too much distance between each antenna, psy storms would happen very often and there wasn't anything to hide in to wait out the storm. Managed to get that last antenna off and now the objective is another long walk across the map, right through an area crawling with bloodsuckers. I'm fine with the long walks, I know fast travel is available for certain points on the map and I use it when I can. But man, I just can't comprehend why bloodsuckers are everywhere in this game and why they take so much ammo to take down. Dropped the game and have been playing the mass effect trilogy

Did they ever say if they will end the old 1EUR/month premium plan? I've had it for years now and when I clicked the GIF to look at what the legendary plan price was, it warned me my current plan doesn't exist anymore

I thought I was the only one being driven mad by this! It's even better when the messages are all short so you hear multiple pings in rapid succession

I have 40 tabs open...I need...them

Graduated and am working as a junior engineer and I basically feel like I have a mountain of stuff I need to learn, I can see I've grown since I started a year ago but man is there still so much for me to learn

Yeah the original, i heard mods play a big role in keeping the original playable, not sure how accurate that is, but I'm excited to tinker and hopefully get it running

Do mods work on Linux? I haven't played the older stalker games and I heard there is a big modding scene behind these games, wanting to try it out on my Linux rig

I had a course in uni that taught us assembler on z/os. My advisor told me most students fail the course on the first try because it was so tough and my Prof for that course said if any of us managed to get at least a B in the course, he'd write us a rec letter for graduate school. That course was the most difficult and most fun I've ever had. I learned how to properly use registers to store my values for calculations, I learned how to use subroutines. Earned myself that B and went on to take the follow up course which was COBOL. You're not crazy, I yearn to go back to doing low level programming, I'm mostly doing ruby for my job but I think my heart never left assembler hahaha

Precisely how I feel. I love playing something cooperative and I dislike when it's some PVP fps game. Baldurs gate with some friends or divinity, the borderlands series is great coop fun too

This is great for when you type in your root password incorrectly!
