I've been in the industry since 2001 and think maybe once I had a one-meeting cycle.

I spent years working on code that did the same thing. I get it. It just makes me sad.
But you deserve to make some money off of your work. And hyperscalars will undercut if at all possible.
Amazon did it to us. They employed people to contribute back but never gave them time. They were nice people and they tried but never really managed much. When we adopted a new license on all new code they hired a bunch more folks.
I'm enjoying his Final Architecture books. Some aliens talk with humans perfectly and others don't. The little crab people and giant worm people are fine. The barnacle folks everyone can translate but no one really understands.
The moon monsters and the demon in the warp make it cosmic horror + space opera. Which makes my heart sing. And playing with communication is a real part of it.
Inaccurate garbage.
I use Arch because I'm old and set it up just the way I want it years ago and never have to change or reinstall. How dare you accuse me of, what was it, being a cranky asshole?! Wait.

It's cute. Thanks for posting.
The way y'all collect garbage is pretty unique. The rats involved there are impressive.
8/10.
Software engineer. Respected across a small public tech company. Most folks who do 30 seconds of GitHub snooping are impressed. There's a decent chance you've used code I wrote. Hopefully it keeps working.
No idea how to use Windows. Or mac. Lots of missing network and security stuff. Struggle every time I have to do python package management. Terrified of C++.
I'm not a concert person but a band I liked in high school was touring and I figure I'd try it. Everyone was all dressed in black with glowing horns and stuff. Is that goth? I don't know anything.
Had a great time though. I'll go the next time they're in town.
I never really liked the hard songs but the guy next to me. He just flung himself into dancing with the song. He showed me how to love it. Eye opening.
I felt the same way about the characterization. I thought it might be a translation thing. I don't know that many folks that read it in Chinese, but I'm leaning towards "no, it's just like that."
It's a fun series to read a wiki about.
It is every citizen's final duty to go into the tanks and become one with all the people.
It's not for everyone. I like it because I'm old and grumpy.
There is still fun to be had! Just... Different fun!
In database land lookup tables are pretty common. Prefix tries and the like are super common in search land. I've seen GCD, offset, delta-of-delta, and some funky bitwise floating point compression used. Sometimes just to save dist space. But usually to save working set space or IO or S3 cache space.
And squeezing the most out of modern CPUs is its own art. Compilers are glorious. And modern CPUs are magic lightning rocks. But you can learn to sing to them just right to make them all happy.
