They put extra boxes in job applications, so I wrote them jokes. Pity none accepted me. I guess I wouldn't want to work for such a non-diverse workplace anyways. 🥲

Hey folks any tips on google interview prep for swe role (in india, although i guess this doesn not matter) in 24 hours? for last few weeks i have neen doing leetcode questions on strings arrays stacks and a few questions on recursion. But i haven't started on trees/graphs yet
should i do graph/ trees or should i focus on strengthening what i already know?

can't believe leetcode is here around to stay lol

I have almost 8 years of experience, am currently a tech lead in the company im at (a big known music and video streaming platform), i live and breathe tech...

and someone i interviewed for (in a 4 year old fintech startup) wants to put me in a mid level position because he "felt i lacked depth". apart from his feelings he failed to make me understand how I'm not senior enough for him.

so how do i become deep? what is this depth he speaks of?

It's so funny sometimes to tell americans facts about their country that completely demolish the whole "America is a free country" bullshit.

Once upon a time, there was a guy that took his car in for service. Then, maybe he was creeped out by the people there, or by something else, but he felt like something was fishy. Lo and behold, when he went back home and inspected his car, he found a weird little box retrofitted where it can't be immediately spotted. He figured out that it was some kind of a tracker, so he removed it, and you know what happened next? I kid you not, he got IN TROUBLE for TAMPERING WITH GOVERNMENT PROPERTY!

If you're a US citizen, you're not allowed resentment. You're not allowed to resist oppresive measures like whatever the fuck happened to that guy.

The US of A is not a free country. It used to be, but it became a police state at exactly 8:46:40 on September 11, 2001.

It's so sad that some of you go on and on and on about their gun rights, but when it's time to use them for the purpose stated in the second amendment ("A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state"), they do nothing.

i ain't gonna build a tetris game for a code test for a job that might force me to work in the office. fuck that shit. code tests are a retarded way of assessing candidates.

a kubernetes engineer is the one who doubles his effort when he loses his aim.

I am a hater of new/popular frameworks. How do I stop being a hater? I need to learn React/Next/whatever without being passive aggressive.

mann.. 5 years after graduating , and i still feel that dsa rounds are one tough cookie.

i didn't do dsa for last 5 uears as i was busy in my daily dev life. then recently i planned for a switchz started preparing ds algo, got myself into a classroom course and now its been over 1 month and stuff just ... flies out of mind

like, our class has only covered arrays , searching sorting and string based questions till now. and since my interview is tomorrow i thought of going back to the classroom notes and revise all the questions.

and i can hardly remember 10/50!
I clearly remember understanding those questions well, putting comments and examples on the functions and doing them on my own without copying teachers code.

now all those notes are taking time to get back into memory. feels like i am dependent on checking tthe solution again n again to complete the problem.

this is truly scary. as of now i don't even had classes for advanced topics like recursion tres or graphs. the course will probably cover 400-500 problems.

if i go blank state after not doing these questions for a few months. how am i supposed to crack coding interviews which are usually scheduled within 2-3 days of notice?

TIL empathy I've always had is auras

I am an idiot

ok time for a crazy story

so I've been sick 3 years. when I got sick I went to the hospital and I couldn't explain to the doctor what my issue was in a way he would understand. I hadn't slept in 2 weeks and couldn't, and it had all started with a weird headache (which was neither a migraine because I had those before, and my BF thought maybe it was a stroke but the doctor said no it was a migraine even tho migraines do not feel like that). one of the things the doctor couldn't seem to comprehend is how I said I didn't have "space" in my head anymore. he just totally ignored that. I kept coming back to the hospital and trying to all the different people. I was confused, exhausted, had to keep pacing or i felt myself fading out, felt my "consciousness" nearly going "lights out" all the time (like a shade was being closed on my eyes). had weird electrolyte misbalance issues which made me pee out a lot of water and then the consciousness lights out feeling would modulate. my resting heart rate was 110 whereas before I couldn't even get it over 80 exercising lol, not to mention I always had conscious control over it and yet here I didn't -- nurses tried to get me to meditate and it wouldn't work! I also had to say all my thoughts out loud and couldn't think in my own head. my whole world became "flat". prior to this I thought in spatialness -- I could generate and simulate 3d+ dimensions in my head, like dreamscapes, I could simulate visuals, textures, sounds, smells, even turns out mix foods I've had or invent totally new tastes from aspects of foods I knew existed. apparently not everyone can do this (I didn't know at the time). I also could simulate empathy in there and other more complex stuff. I lost all that. strangely I couldn't empathy feel IRL people's emotions anymore either (which was always trivial for me before, it was harder for me not to). nor could I understand what they were saying to me anymore. I could see them LITERALLY say it but I couldn't understand. it was weird. I didn't know it at the time and it only occurred to me weeks later that I was "alone" (disconnected I just realized). I have NEVER felt alone in my life before. now I understand

about 9 months ago I started getting my intuition back. so I can ask in my head for advice and a voice will aswer or sensate nudge me in a direction. this inspired me to look into witches, since I was sick and witches do herbs and stuff. why not. everybody kept saying psychosomatic. well magic-type shit is psychosomatic, clearly? if it works it works. I ain't gonna question it

I started practicing it and etc but didn't really get it. but now I am understanding so much

so the whole reason why that doctor didn't understand is because all of those abilities come from the soul... my whole life I've been empathetic and mind-reading. I can even read someone's intentions and thoughts from their texts. and this isn't like projection-stuff (though now I understand better how that works also... which I never could before. I studied psychology for a bit after a bad job situation but projection had never made sense to me)

you can hear words and not see the mental images associated with them. this means you're disconnected from your mental plane, ignoring it, maybe because it's fucked up which was the case with me. I have absolutely no clue what the fuck rammed me. but I've been meditating and fixing my soul-realms (etheric, astral, mental... and I regained access to the casual! now I understand why people acted confused when I could tell the future! cuz they can't hear the casual realm yet!)

and I was looking into reiki healing. everybody seems to have the opinion that you could just send "healing energy". while true this is immensely exhausting. apparently reiki is literally "rei" the god-consciousness of life (like spanky) moves "ki" which is energy. so you connect to rei, figure it out, and suddenly you can channel rei... sounds cool

as I was listening to a chick describe reiki and reiki concerns... I fucking figured out how empathy works. and why my life's been fucked. d'oh. this magic shit solves everything

here are things that prove god doesn't exist:
- trie (non-binary tree)
- nybble (half a byte)
- .DS_Store
- .Trash-1000
- tsconfig.json
- Electron
for if he existed, he would have never allowed those hubris monuments to be erected in his kingdom.

Tester mentions deployment failing, I go check. Strange terraform is exiting with a failure.

Mention that there is an error with infra code. PM comes in "HURDUR it's not broken". Literally, terraform saying error and exiting with status code 1 causing the whole deploy pipeline to fail is not broken, sure buddy.

Petition to remove the song “club classics” by Charli XCX to “shovel” because she sings “I wanna dance with SOPHIE”.

I am the keeper and protector of a specific joke I made up while at rock bottom, that is so dark (vantablack levels of darkness), cruel, insensitive and inappropriate in any context to any person, that I'll probably never tell it to anyone.

It's clean. It's not about sexism, racism, religion, war, discrimination, rape and other sensitive topics often joked about. It's also not gross --- it won't make you vomit. It's not personal and doesn't doxx anybody.

I don't even know if I can tell it at any dark jokes contest without being kicked out immediately.

I'll give you just one hint: it's about being in the wrong place at the wrong time. There is no plot twist like "this place is your mom's vagina" --- nothing like that. It's just about being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

We have a bug.

I fixed it, then I said it was a super tricky bug, a race condition in the library code, and that I had to put on an issue and wait for their answer.

Boom, day off.

God I'm a genius.

god is an unknowable concept, so if you take any sentence that is "noun-verb-noun" and change its logical structure to "noun-verb-!noun, noun-verb-god", it will somehow still make sense. Let's try it:
- "they tortured people" --- "they didn't torture people, they tortured god"
- "he dismissed the case" --- "he didn't dismiss the case, he dismissed god"
- "she forgot about her kid" (plot of Home Alone) --- "she didn't forget about her kid, she forgot about god"

isn't it a weird coincidence that religious rhetoric always adapts flawlessly to the agenda of those who give preachers money? no matter the agenda, it _always_ fits.

A day in my life. This morning Dell was doing it's update on my laptop before I left for work, so later when I knew my wife was up I asked her via text to shut my laptop off.

W: "You left your laptop on this morning."
Me: "I know, it was still doing an update this morning. I sent you a text."
W: "Leaving your computer on all day is going to burn it up."
Me: "Its 8:30, been maybe a half hour isn't a day."
W: "Still wasting electricity. How do I turn this thing off?"
Me: "It's just like yours."
W: "No, your computer is way different than mine. Just tell me how to turn it off"
Me: "My computer is running Windows 11, yours is Windows 10, shutting down is exactly the same"
W: "I don't understand, yours looks completely different. Stop being an ass and just tell me"
Me: "Select Start, then shut down"
W: "Select what? There isn't anything that says Start"
Me: "Sorry, click the little icon in the bottom left. Looks like four little blue squares. That's the Windows Start menu button, just like yours."
W: "OK, now what?"
Me: "Shut down"
W: "Shut down what? I don't see anything"
Me: "The icon that looks like power button next to my name"
W: "There is nothing next to your name except your picture"
Me: "It'll be on the right hand side"
W: "Where the clock is?"
Me: "No, on the Start menu, where you see my picture, there should be a button to turn it off."
W: "No, it went away"
Me: "What do you mean went away?"
W: "All that disappeared when you told me to click over by the clock."
Me: "I didn't say to click on the clock, anyway, doesn't matter. Start over, select the icon in the bottom left"
W: "You're not listening. There is nothing there when I click that. You're such as ass. You cannot even tell me how to turn off this stupid computer. I'm busy, you can turn this thing off when you get home."
<a few minutes later I text my daughter>
Me: "Baby girl, can you turn off my computer?"
<10 seconds later>
H: "Done. Anything else?"
Me: "Nope. Thank you."

I Invested $50,000 and reinvested it for 3 days and the money got up to $102,213. I told them that i wanted to withdraw. They told me i have to Pay 20% of my money before I can withdraw, I paid it and the following day, i wanted to withdraw and they told me i have to pay additional $40,000 . I told them i will not pay any money again, and that was how it ended. I taught they had gone with my money until I came across DAREK RECOVERY whom many had reviewed how they helped them recovered their stolen bitcoin and funds, I contact them on recoverydarek (at) gmail dot com I gave them a try and the outcome was epic! They helped me recover all my stolen bitcoins within 48 hours Thank you Darek you’re the best I ever come across.
