vipermark7··on "Just Keep Applying" Isn't Persistence, It's Insanity
I thought I had replied to this, but I forgot to do so. I wish you the best of luck with your game!

Can you link me to its Steam page? :)

vipermark7··on Software Development Has Too Much Software in It
> They mention React.

For full transparency, I'm the one who wrote the article :)

I wasn't even thinking about 2FA when writing this, but that does raise a big accessibility issue for people who may struggle to use or wish to avoid smartphones. As someone observing the dumbphone trend with keen interest, it's a shame that US carriers are making it harder to stay with the older phones, since 2G and 3G connections are going away over time

vipermark7··on Software Development Has Too Much Software in It
A blog post about how the complexity of software development tooling is spiraling out of control. Enjoy! :D
vipermark7··on Software Engineers Say the Job Market Is Getting Much Worse
The new generation has largely switched to exclusively using thier phones. I figure this will have some pretty negative consequences for computing, but was also inevitable given the state of things
vipermark7··on Ask HN: Is the market bad, or am I having the worst luck job hunting?
Only the software industry can create gatling footguns like this :)
vipermark7··on Racket: Lisp for the modern day
I also wish I would have studied classical CS in college. However, I was sick most of the time, and there were half a dozen weed-out classes, so the computer science courses I did take were non-major courses to supplement a GIS degree.

GIS is certainly interesting in its own ways, and it taught me some visualization and design skills, but I wish it would have been possible for me to learn more of what's going on under the hood of the massive libraries and high-level languages I use every day as a professional "software engineer"

vipermark7··on Google warns staff about chatbots
Sounds like they're being overly reliant on the tool. I know work life at Google is probably fairly intense and stressful, but this seems pretty odd
vipermark7··on Why I Like Clojure
Oh no :(
vipermark7··on The real “must have” tools for programming
I hear there's chemicals in tea which balance out the caffeine, and make it less of a shock to the system. My go-to (heh) is Earl Grey, though I usually drink coffee
vipermark7··on Your tech stack is not the product
Blessed comment! :D
vipermark7··on Does anyone else get really bored while they're on vacation?
You could argue that work takes up half your waking hours
vipermark7··on Oracle Giving Away 4-Core 24 GB Memory Ampere Instances
What are good technologies then?
vipermark7··on Ask HN: Why a 4-day workweek don't get traction or a major movement?
What advice would you have in regards to getting a fully remote job?
vipermark7··on Questions as pot comes to work
How much is a low dose? I hear that less than 400mg is safe to consume, though I consume approx 300mg a day myself. Currently trying to reduce that
vipermark7··on The Case for a Shorter Workweek
What are some of those consequences?
vipermark7··on U.S. generates more plastic trash than any other nation, report finds (2020)
When given an option between blaming the individual and blaming multinational corporations, I tend to blame the latter
vipermark7··on Clojure by Example (2015)
If you're comfortable sharing, where do you work that uses Clojure? I'm still a bit junior myself (Java dev), but I've been interested in FP and especially LISP for a while
