here we gooooo

if you’re using anything to do with linux you will encounter this pretty regularly

either that or furry femboys

small thing i like to appreciate life:

passing by my neighbors so regularly i literally watch them become parents over time.

it’s so cute seeing them raise their kid so passively (not in a creepy way, they’re a block away from me.)

i like that. :)

bought another steam page. shit is going hard this and next year.

REALLY? i always thought it was the other way around generally

VLC mobile sucks fucking ass

i’ve never had a reason to use VLC on my desktop cuz Media Player works just fine

not entirely sure why we're afraid of critizising valve or the products they make but alright

wasn’t he in the mario movies?

WOAH

the internet has been my home for the last seven years. i think it’s genuinely bleak here and i’m so happy to graduate from the trenches in september. yaaaaaaaaaay

shoutout SteamOS users

i think i’ve always desired to have a friend group that’s alternative. color their hair, dress honestly kinda crazy and have insane personalities.

and honestly, could totally. but it’s hard to do when on the outside you’re just a super aggressive black man. wonder if i’m ever gonna solve that.

@dailyfun.bsky.social wie geht’s

literally why are we forgetting that physical games had day 1 updates that’re required to play?? this isn’t even a new thing

banger tweeet

just my two cents for now. cya in august

especially with AI being introduced to the workplace, it’s far easier than before to start faking it until you make it into a software engineering job. doesn’t that sound insane?

maybe the CS job market isn’t cooked because it just is, maybe it’s over all of these issues.

a lot of people leave university with the degree but have no idea how to code.

the fact that is possible in the first place is INSANELY BIZARRE. that’s genuinely terrifying. but also furthers my point

this sounds self-righteous - i don’t mean to be. but it’s what i’ve heard, and even what made sense in my mind before thinking about all this.

i’ve confirmed this with professors and students about, even HR at some software dev companies, just small conversations about their hiring processes.

and call me crazy but i think that’s why the “engineering software market is cooked” and has been for five years.

people just get the degree and apply to places for internships without any experience actually building anything.

which, hear me out, i think is more useful for someone like me than boolean algebra, reverse polish notation, and literally whatever other bullshit this subject throws at you.

y’all fuck with finite state machines? turing machines? literally what are we doing anymore

maybe that’ll change in this next stage of my life if i get that far, but even then - i will be learning stuff that i feel is useful.

i will be learning how to work well in a programming team, alongside learning C++, something that a lot of studios use.

it seems that i take a more “this isn’t an efficient use of my time”, but i think that’s because i started learning to code MUCH BEFORE i entered any CS classes, and to be fair i can confidently say in the three years i’ve done it - i’ve not learnt anything that i’ve had to put into practice yet.

and i get that sounds like a massive cop-out, but trust me it’ll make sense.

whenever in my computer science classes in school i always seemed to disregard most of what was taught to me. it was either “this doesn’t feel relevant to actually developing stuff” and “i learnt this by myself though.”

to be clear, i’ve always been a pretty practical person. theory has never ever
been my strong suit. historically i’ve just never been good at remembering that stuff.

my main reason for this is the way my brain works.

maybe that is just me being me again, but the fact i basically don’t know shit about hash maps, or extending stuff in JS (what even is that, is that just constructors?)

like people can talk so in-depth about the theory of programming, whereas i just can’t.

but talking to graduates and those who clearly know much more about features of a language than me, it does feel like i don’t deserve as much in terms of opportunities to enter the industry as them.

like, they likely worked much harder than me to get to where they are.

think i’ve finally hit a point in my life where i now feel extreme depth in knowledge in terms of programming.

i don’t really care that i’m not that advanced yet. i learn a lot about programming every day.

this would be the dumbest thing to do ever

genuinely i’d rather see ads in my feed than the stupid news articles i don’t read in my TL, because it’s just so fucking easy to scroll past them.
