- Comment on YSK: When you want to learn the facts on a controversial topic, check Wikipedia 8 months ago:
No, I didn’t anticipate significant backslash. The criticism of Wikipedia is valid, but I’m comparing it to the raw stream of BS I get on social media, not to an idealistic vision of what wikipedia should be

- Comment on 20+ years of xp, interviews are still hard, still dunno what to do with carrear 9 months ago:
One anecdote to illustrate the point: On my last job, I was initially directly chosen by upper management that was my former boss in another company. The HR interviewer blocked me anyway, the higher ups hired me as a contractor for a year, and only them they hired me directly

Now you mention it, maybe people with a better interview/offer rate are also doing a better job on not wasting time with positions they aren’t a great fit? I get interested when they ask me about things I used only a little before, so I end doing a lof of these
I suspect that some interviews are just to say they interviewed X people before they chose someone

I already live in a low cost country, so moving to a cheaper place wouldn’t work
Some professional help is probably a good idea. My CV is probably not a big part of the problem, it’s getting me those interviews, maybe it gets me interviews for the wrong jobs. As I’m never sure what I want to do, I could make it look like I am all about stack X, and in the next morning I feel like I want to do some Y, and I get a call from someone that wants something to be done on K, on which I only had experience in a 3 months project and left some mention of it there.

I do that, and it saves me a lot of time with things ending on the screening call. I’m tempted to write all this stuff in my resume / linkedin so I don’t even waste time with the screening. It’s easier now I’m already employed, it will probably be harder when I really need another job

- Comment on What programming languages aren't too criticized here? 9 months ago:
I loved this analogy, it works for old languages as old movies, some characteristics as movie genres and to explain there is not just one and only right language, and that people would have different preferences.

- Comment on Some fractal 3D trees 9 months ago:
I did some experimenting on that direction, but stopped at this weird thing. The way I’m doing it would be too slow with more than one tree

I am a fellow organic food ingesting, carbon based human, using my meat based appendices to slowly communicate with other carbon based humans on the public network. While I type this my meat based appendices are getting very tired, because I totally had to use mechanical movements to close electrical circuits in a very inneficient way to send signals to a computer

- Comment on Are we ready for javascript without a build step on the front end in 2023? 9 months ago:
About the third point, the performance of your JavaScript code can be worse if it’s broken down into several small files rather than a single, bundled file. When a browser encounters a script tag linking to an external JavaScript file, it makes an HTTP request to fetch that file. This process occurs for each separate file. Each HTTP request involves time for network latency, server processing, and data transfer.
I’m usually preferring typescript too, but this point got me curious. I’m guessing it wasn’t an honest point, almost everywhere I look people are still using a build step, and I didn’t notice any move in a different direction

- Comment on What programming languages aren't too criticized here? 9 months ago:
Whenever I tested something that sounds great yet it is slow to get adoption I end learning a reason why it it’s not growing. It’s good to learn what the reason is before you spend a lot of time on it

are browsers and libs good enough to do front end without a build step yet?
- Comment on What programming languages aren't too criticized here? 9 months ago:
I never feel sure what I want to use, and I get tempted to stop what I’m doing to do something in another stack, because I am most interested in the tech than my own toy project
