I was a big American cheese hater until I had land o’ lakes American cheese. Shits actually pretty good

They wanted to hear how confident you were in your ability to solve problems with .NET. They didn’t want to hear “aCtUaLlY, nO oNe Is PeRfEcT.”

Yeah, I mean no shit, with hindsight it’s obvious they were looking for the 10/10 answer. I was kicking myself for days afterwards because that’s the only question I felt I answered “wrong”. Tech interviews are such a shit show though that you can start to overthink things as an interviewee. Also, an important aspect of the question that I didn’t mention was they specified “1 is completely new, and 10 is working at Microsoft on the .net framework itself”. The question caught me off guard. I have literally no idea what working at Microsoft on the framework is like. In that context being a 10/10 felt like being among the most knowledgeable person of c# of all time. Could I work on the framework itself? Idk maybe, I’ve never thought about it, I don’t even know what their day to day is. I should’ve just said 10/10 though, it was a dev II position to work on a web app, it wouldn’t have been that hard.

Have you tried photopea? It doesn’t have everything Photoshop has but it’s been able to fit my needs

I’m learning it just now reading this comment!

I can’t imagine a ton of the people working there give a shit anymore when it seems like thousands of people are being layed off weekly while the company takes in billions in profit

Not sure why you’re getting down voted. This is exactly what happened at my last company during the RTO push, senior employees, including me, were leaving in droves and it got bad quickly. As a result the company upped their salaries and offered fully remote work instead of just hybrid to keep people around. The only way a company will listen is if you hit them in their wallets.

I think the maintainer just viewed the bug report as tone deaf. Microsoft is a trillion dollar company and apparently relying on this library without a support contract. Then they a open a high priority bug item. The maintainer saying it’s unacceptable is them basically saying they won’t prioritize any work unless there’s an existing support contract and that they don’t do one off payments for bug fixes, which I think is fair.

Ever since Games for Windows Live went down Lost Planet 3’s multiplayer has been bricked. I know nobody cares but me but dangit Sony please fix it!

How difficult did you find the process? Over here we basically just go to the store and buy it after a simple background check. Even the background check seems to be avoidable if you do a private gun sale. At least this is how it was described to me by friends who have firearms, I don’t own any myself.

Well I wasn’t planning on vaping for very long, just enough to stop smoking. However, I finally did get honest with myself and get a refillable not too long ago.

The disposable one I’m using has a rechargeable battery and an LCD screen lol. So wasteful. I’ve been saving my dead ones and will be salvaging the battery and screens for a side project.

I don’t blame you at all. I’ve worked at a place that have sucked my life force away like yours. The saying “no good deed goes unpunished” comes to mind. Patching servers and fixing infrastructure issues gets rewarded with getting blamed for any server or app issue going forward and then fixing said issues on top of your current workload. Getting out of that hell hole was one of the best decisions I’ve made.

Yeah if a company relies on some underpaid person from Macedonia to do an entire IT departments worth of crap then they deserve to get hacked lmao

I totally agree with the authors point that opposite genders should be able to be friends. But I find her edit kind of odd… sure she doesn’t “owe” him anything but he doesn’t “owe” her anything either. The guy clearly misunderstood the relationship and being rejected by someone you really like hurts. It’s as if she expects him to immediately turn off his emotions and start hanging out with her platonically.

Edit: Also as soon as the guy said men and women can’t be friends she shoulda noped out of that friendship. Total nice guy material right there.

Amen. I once had an interview where they asked what my skill is with .net on a scale of 1 - 10. I answered 6.5 even though at the time I had been doing it for 7 years. They looked annoyed and said they were looking for someone who was a 10. I countered with nobody is a 10, not them or even the people working on the framework itself. I didn’t pass the interview and I think this question was why.

Haha that’s my favorite scene! “What!? No turkey?!”
