So I don't know where did the "generally known" comes from. In my 20 years experience, I knew hundreds of programmers and probably majority of them were extremely artistic. Writing games as a hobby, drawing miniatures, some were writing books, music bands...

> Finally, "full stop" is what you say when something isn't up for debate.

Is it the only way you can say "full stop"? Can't you just say it to yourself in the way of "full stop, this shows ME this is based on wrong premise, and I don't need to waste time on keep reading it"

For me - journals/notes/description and even video scenes - is something I cannot focus on, so ignore most of the time.

However selecting (even fake) choices keeps me engaged and more "role playing" as if I am saying those lines and live through the dialogue.

This is a common misconception which comes from the fact that there are no federal required vacations. That does not mean companies don't offer vacations as a benefit. I have yet see any positions without offering any.

In IT it's pretty much universally quite good. I had 5 weeks before, but now we switched to unlimited (as long as you do your job ok). I now take around 6 weeks per year, and I don't really need more.

Something that always made me prefer to go use other editors. Or perhaps if incremental search support regular expressions?

Just in case you haven't tried it - perhaps it might ignite the love to programming (if you want that). Python made the programming fun to me again. Especially without the boilerplate code.

Try to ignore the community strong push to use typing everywhere and just write some clean small code and it feels amazing. Designs and ideas in simple implementations.

This is not a boolean. Games work, just with way less framerates.

Dark times were when my manager forced me to use GUI to draw diagrams.

I need to convey my thoughts and design. If A related with B - in my head it's "A related to B", not some bubbles in air with different sizes, arrows pixel left, pixel right. Tools like mermaid.js is what makes it beatiful. I describe the design - an it draws it consistent way.

Interesting. Just wondering - what does "pedal" mean to you. Explicitly spinning and explicitly with feets?

Are any of those not considered bicycles to you?

-Elliptical bicycle -Treadmill bicycle -Handcycle

Arrowhead are literally saying that requirement was always there, it was just temporary not enforced/supported. It's not Sony that suddenly introduced that new requirement.

Arrowhead were the ones having this delayed-change-of-contract. Arrowhead allowed their game to be sold in countries where you will not be able to play.

I find it funny, that I am completely opposite. I would very much prefer the local news/politics/crime, as this directly affects me and my life - e.g. don't go to the highway today, because protestors block it. Vs. the boring similar photos I've probably already saw like 100 times from a slightly different angle or they are not interesting at all and author highly overestimates their photography skill.

Is "housing in the location you want" a basic necessity of life?

Or if that's the words that would've been chosen - I would agree to you.

But if you mix those words with extra message, then no. A reply to this new message is warranted.

E.g. if you add a reason and that reason is unreasonable - it's warranted to address that and reply to you. Either do a request without attached strings, or block. Don't write extra conditions/reasoning and then complain that someone doesn't agree with you on those and kept messaging.

I personally would think that something like "You purchase a year of versions, so final one you would be able to upgrade to - would be your perpetual subscription"

> The estimated total pay for a Software Engineer is $140,779 per year in the United States area, with an average salary of $118,761 per year. These numbers represent the median, which is the midpoint of the ranges from our proprietary Total Pay Estimate model and based on salaries collected from our users. The estimated additional pay is $22,017 per year. Additional pay could include cash bonus, commission, tips, and profit sharing. The "Most Likely Range" represents values that exist within the 25th and 75th percentile of all pay data available for this role

It's kinda funny that you used the term straw man and than immediately created another one

Replace numeracy with programming and it happens right and left. We came from Eastern Europe with barely enough money to rent for a few months. Now we are in top percentile of earners in US. And have lot's of friends with a similar story.
