Been working 12+ years (10yrs in current role). I never had a technical interview and my initial interview was essentially a handshake at a job fair.

Ehh I have well water and the outside spigots bypass all the filtering/softening systems in my basement cause why burn filter cycles cleaning groundwater to spray back on the ground

Controversial opinion, but if cost isn’t an issue then a steam deck isn’t a great buy. It fills a niche for sure but honestly a gaming laptop with a gamepad is 100% more useful IMHO.

I struggled to find it anymore portable than a laptop is and worse performance/screen/utility in almost every measurable way.

Needs brainless application management.

Windows is basically: download the installer, run it, and boom you’re good to go.

Linux distros typically have 2-3 different ways to install applications and multiple mechanisms for updating/maintaining, where most of the good ones are non graphical. It’s confusing for even experienced users let alone someone who doesn’t know what a “package” is.

Say I want to uninstall something, I need to know how it was installed (apt? Snap? Flatpak? Manual build from source?) in order to do so. On windows, they have a registration scheme where installers log to a common OS level application management on what to run to uninstall.

I’m the opposite. Bagels shouldn’t be toasted and definitely not used for a sandwich. Even breakfast sandwiches. Cream cheese or butter, maybe some lox, but an egg and cheese should go on a roll or the severely underrated English muffin. Gets in the way of a good bagel

I’d argue that a custom board is more wasteful since they are single use. Using a cheapo COTS processor that drives a single display and runs Linux is reusable in the long run.

Can’t find the quote, but a similar vein when talking about Counterstrike pros. Basically if you have the question of “should I try to go pro” you already aren’t dedicated enough to make it.

There is no federal law that bans discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity in public accommodations, like restaurants, theaters and other businesses. However, state and local laws where you live may ban this kind of discrimination.

What? They can totally do those things. They are private businesses who can reject whomever they want. Protected classes are only protected for things like housing, employment, and public things (school/utilities/etc.)

Birch Beer. Not all the time but when I crave it, it hits the spot.

I wanted to like it, I really did, but between the buttons being too small and clustered together and accidentally hitting the touch pads it just wasn’t the controller for me. Mostly played Rocket League when I got it and the number of times I’d shitflip or accidentally turn off ballcam was too high

If it’s cheaper for someone to buy your product and ship it overseas, then you are overcharging for your product. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
