To be fair, in my case, I did not. I actually received one as a gift last Christmas. I never got around to setting it up (still in packaging). I was planning on trying it out when I had some free time. Now I have a useless device that I can’t even return since I refuse to create a Facebook account.
Considering that the police force were initially created for slave patrols, it’s not really surprising that white supremacy is a part of police culture.
The term globalist is rooted in the idea that there is a Jewish global conspiracy where they are loyal to their hereditary country of origin, not the one they are currently a citizen in. It has been used as a dog whistle for alt-right circles for quite some time and is often used as a thinly-veiled anti-semitic slur.
I don’t know you, but figured I should at least extend the curtesy of informing you of the meaning behind the words that you chose to use in-case the usage was out of error instead of deliberate.
I’ve seen the same thing happen with any language. Generally tends to happen when a dev hasn’t thought through the scope of what they are doing beforehand. I’ve written some ugly python in my earlier days due to this as well.
My point here is it is less to due with the language and more to due with the mindset when solving a problem.
The main issue I see with more inexperienced devs with bash is that they tend to think it’s okay to be lazy with the code because it’s just “bash”. If you would write safety checks and comments in your python you should be doing the same in bash really.
The phrase “a good work ethic” to me describes what you are saying exactly.
I am not passionate about computers, I like solving problems and streamlining the tedious. Personally I don’t have a passion for my company either. I like them, I like what they pay me, and I like the benefits and culture.
I see my paycheck as a business transaction that is favorable to both myself and the company I work for.
With that being said, I do actually enjoy the work I do, but would never use the word passion to describe it.
You didn’t specify how many people they are looking for but if it is multiple people, you could reduce the headcount and double the salary. This makes the pay more competitive and will attract more engineers.
With that being said I’ve always avoided giving real feedback during an exit interview to prevent accidental bridge burning.
Can we please stop trying to force everything to be connected to the internet? I have no issue with those that want to make a smart house, but it seems like it is increasingly more difficult to find certain quality appliances that are not connected, televisions as an example.
I find this whole iot thing very frustrating as a consumer.
I went to art school and dropped out. In high school I had immense pressure from my guidance counselors to go to art school, specifically a private one. What I was told was that if I didn't go to college and get a degree I would be working fast food the rest of my life. Being a dumb 17 year old who had no concept of debt, I listened, I gave into their scare tactics and went.
After my first year, I felt like I was wasting my time. Gen eds were at the level of what I learned in 8th grade and art class grading was completely opinionated and based on what type of art the teacher liked. I hated it and wanted to drop out. But fear of failure and a realization of what debt really was kept me locked into going to college.
I scraped by my second year while becoming more and more jaded. I felt lied to and swindled out of my money and future. I ended up finally dropping out when the realization that I really was wasting my time took over.
I spent a lot of time with computers on my own and taught myself how systems work for a few years while I worked multiple dead end jobs to scrape by and attempt to pay off my debt. Eventually I managed to land myself a jr sysadmin at a company which saved me from drowning. Now I work as a full fledged infrastructure engineer making a very satisfying amount of money and working on an extremely interesting set of problems. I'm actually happy now.
Art school hurt me horribly. I had to dig myself out of a massive hole with sheer willpower and determination alone.
