    I get like 20-30 hours a week most of the time. Many times right under 20 with 30 being the most I've done in a week.

    My consultant side gig is talking about trying to get me as a FTE... I absolutely do not want this. How do I go about just staying as I am now?

    Again I've always thought BTC was stupid to invest in and I've been catastrophically wrong the entire time. It ain't going anywhere and it's finite nature means it will continue to rise in value. Even if it is retarded.

    Using nano to write code is so... Boomer. Like those guys at GM who were absolute aces using VIM. It's cool and all but the advantages of intellisense and similar code writing tools just makes the idea of writing raw code on a simple text editor like nano fucking retarded. Sublime text and...

    Weight Loss Thread

    Due to wfh and the Rona I've pretty drastically changed my diet preferences. Losing 20lbs in the process and near my old triathlon competition weight back in university. I didn't follow any strict keto diet or anything. But I did actively avoid huge carb loads like rice and bread and ballpark...

    Something I like doing right now. I don't like chorizo usually because mushy sausage is not my thing. However using a small amount, like one ounce, of it instead of oil provides a great deal of flavor to anything. A favorite is to do this with some poblanos and cheese like was mentioned in...

    I really like my current manager. He is extremely hands off and understands that the problems I am solving are why he hired me. He doesn't necessarily have the time or incentive to understand why or how. He was never a developer. He started out as a network guy building out internal systems. So...

    Yeah I thought this was really clear. Restov didn't give a fuck if you died and didn't even give a fuck about you being a Baron. Best case for them was you build up the area and create a buffer in the Stolen Lands against Pitax and their rivals. If you died they would have sent more. If you died...

    DOS 2 "Story" soars to mediocre if you play it as, "we are randoms wandering through the forest" and ignore everything else about it lol. The story in Kingmaker was so much better, and coherent.

    I do want to add that the consulting experience has made me really targeted by headhunters looking to specifically hire hourly consultants. I think this will be huge for me down the road.

    That is my main gripe with them. The part where you have someone managing user accounts/pws? Yes that absolutely needs to be done, although much of it can be automated. But this can be also done by a system admin without even adding extra responsibilities to their role. It doesn't have to be a...

    My favorite experience with idiotic "cybersecurity." Dude: Runs whatever security software bullshit on our code. Spits out a report. Says that I am exposing api keys or something. Me: No dude, that is wrong, this line is referencing our key vault in AWS where that actual API key exists. Once...

    Some of the stuff in that book was truly shocking. Mortgages taken out by strawberry pickers for $750k. CDO Investment firm managers being paid as a percentage of total holdings. Incentivizing the mass buying of debt obligations because it didn't matter what the performance or risk was. They...

    Cybersecurity is gay but I learned a lot about it from this site @Falxy-US . I say gay because most people in the Cybersecurity sector work completely boring ass jobs like running commerical pen test software. Letting it spit out a result then telling devs that this is wrong fix it without...

    People just take it too far. Yes Python is easier to understand. It was intentionally designed to be easier to understand. It is also, however, lacking a ton of features and flexibility of the "harder" languages like Java or C#. The asspain management gets is when their dev teams try and use...

    Python excels at quick and dirty programming. For this reason its good for data science, network tasks, general tasks, anything simple that is otherwise tedious to do manually, etc. It causes lots of issues when you need to make something big with it because so much in python is generally out of...
