  • Yeah, always found that weird as a junior. I basically never touched the main-function, because well, it set up some fundamentals and then called some other function or created some objects and then I was tweaking things somewhere below that.

    Now that I’m a senior and taking over the lead of projects, I’m the person that touches the main-function and others generally do not. 🥴





  • They may have entered the profession thinking they wouldn’t have to talk to people, but I just want to point out that this is not at all what the profession actually looks like. You have to constantly talk to people, to work out the requirements that the customer actually needs and exchange knowledge with your team mates. If someone is not a team player, that is the absolute quickest way to get thrown out.

    Ah, in that case, I got poe’s-lawed. There’s just teenagers out there, who have not yet formed such a taste and assume others have not either, so may genuinely assume they’re just supposed to be the most physically beautiful and non-weird to rake in a boy-/girl-/enbyfriend. Well, and some of those teenagers even make it into adulthood without taste…

    I blame romance movies and novels and such. It’s such utter bullshit, how the stereotypical storyline is that she rejects him at first and then he’s just really desperate persistent and then she eventually softens up and they’re married ever after.

    Some women like that little dance of rejecting and the guy not giving up, but even then only if they think you’re cute beforehand.
    But most women will just find that creepy and off-putting. They want to have a partner they actually find attractive themselves, not just any partner who finds them attractive enough to persist through humiliation.









  • I can recommend wiping the floor regularly with a damp cloth. Removes a lot of the dust from the room, so that it can’t get kicked up and land in other places. And it’s relatively quick to do, especially since you don’t have to reach all the corners for that either.

    You may want to add a bit of lemon acid to the water every few months or so, since the water will leave behind limescale when it dries, which will make your floor less shiny.


  • There’s these “ontological arguments”, which are basically folks trying to prove the existence of a god by reasoning with pure logic, so without relying on evidence. And they all sound like that. 🫠

    One of the classics goes roughly like this:

    1. There is good and bad. (Which is one hell of an axiom.)
    2. A creature can exist which unifies all good properties. (Yet another hell of an axiom.)
    3. Because this creature has all these good properties, it would be even gooder, if it did exist.
    4. Since this creature unifies all good properties and its existence is itself a good property, it therefore must exist.

    These arguments are also always funny, because the same logic can be used to “prove” all kinds of things. For example, a perfect island can exist, therefore it must exist. 🙃
    As far as I can tell, the arguments don’t actually get better over time either, but rather just more convoluted, to make it less obvious how silly they are…
