Getting a later special meeting request with the ceo, at one company, because he wanted feedback on their interview process itself. He then offered me a different job and I had to decline cuz I already accepted another (this was a few weeks after the initial decline I gave)

In another case they just fast tracked me and I ended up declining the job anyways (didn’t like the job)

I’m full time employed but I still do occasiobal interviews to keep feelers out for how the market is. But I typically decline most offers cuz they’re not good enough to get me to actively quit my current job.

Same, I’ve started just stating I have a maximum of 3 interviews I do before I auto-reject the offer.

This has had interesting results.

In the “right” use case, story points should just represent relative effort.

The hours dont matter, its more about ranking how challenging a task is, in order to help the manager rank the priority of tasks.

You should have typically 2~3 metrics:

1. Points, which represent relative effort of the task to the other tasks you are also ranking.

2. Value, how much value does doing this task provide, how important is it

3. Risk, how risky is it that this might break shit though if you make these changes (IE new features typically are low risk since they just add stuff, but if you have to modify old stuff now your risk goes up)

If you have a good integration testing system automated, Risk can be mostly removed since you can just rely on your testing framework to catch if something is gonna explode.

Then your manager can use a formula with these values to basically rank a priority order for every ticket you now scored, in order to assess what the next thing is that is best to focus on.

Sorts? Not tabs in the way you’d expect but it’s default ones can be sufficient

Honestly though once you get pretty good with hotkeys you stop using tabs, for all intents and purposes harpoon is tabs, but better, and without the UI. You just mentally usually pick harpoon keys that make sense to save jump points to, like I’ll harpoon FooController.cs to c and FooService.cs to s and FooEntity.cs to e and so one

And the I jump around with those keys. Usually when working I only need tops 5 harpoon or so for a chunk of work.

I still boot in sub 1s so I don’t know what you mean by “bloated”

Lazy allows you to boot ultra fast by loading stuff in the background later, so “bloat” doesn’t matter

nvim-dap does literally nothing until you trigger it, so it’s only impact on my startup is like 3 hotkey registrations :p

It’s a perfectly fine debugger, works great. The fact I can telescope search to fzf my stack trace actually kind of makes it superior? Like you can’t do that sorta stuff in any other IDE I know of

Also all my navigation stuff like telescope/harpoon/etc still apply when debugging, so I can literally debug faster jumping around the stack trace with hotkeys.

Neovim doesn’t get any less awesome when it comes to debugging, a lot of it’s power still applies just as much haha

A lot of them are dependencies of other plugins.

Stuff like icons support, and every little feature. Neovim is extremely minimalist to start, so you need plugins just to get something as simple as a scrollbar lol

Things like git status of files and file lines, all your LSPs, syntax highlighting (for each language you work with), file explorer, you name it, there’s a lot.

But what’s nice about nvim is for any of these given features, there’s numerous options to pick from. Theres probably a dozen options to choose from for what kind of scrollbar you want in your editor, as an example.

So you end up with a huge amount of plugins in the end, for all your custom stuff you have configured.

You have to setup yourself (though theres a lot of very solid copy pasteable recipes for each feature):

• Scrollbar
• Tabs(if you want em)
• bookmarking
• every LSP
• treesitter
• navigation (possibly multiple of them, I use both a file tree, telescope, and harpoon)
• file history stuff
• git integrations, including integrating it with the numerous other plugins you use (many of them can integrate with git for stuff like status icons)
• Code commenting/uncommenting
• Code comment tags (IE TODO/BUG/HACK/etc)
• your package manager is also a package (I like lazy for wicked fast open speeds, neovim opens in under 1s for me)
• hotkey management (I like to use which-key)
• prose plugins (lots of great options here too, I use nvim for more than just coding!)
• neorg, so I can use nvim for taking notes, scheduling stuff, etc too
• debugger via nvim-dap
• debugger UI via nvim-dap-ui
• lualine, which is a popular statusline plugin people like to have at the bottom of their IDE for general file info
• new-file-template which lets me create templates for new files by extension (IE when I make a .cs file and start editting it, I can pick from numerous templates I’ve made to start from, same for .ts, .lua, etc etc)
• git conflict, which can detect and work with detected git merge conflict sections in any type of file and give me hotkeys to do stuff like pick A / B / Both / Neither, that sorta stuff

The list goes on and on haha

quietly scoots his entire github repo for his neovim configuration and 200+ plugins behind his back

Haha yeah totally

I have my full setup in github with details of all my various plugins I use here!

Once I got so used to all my custom keybinds in neovim, it became hard to use anything else.

I’m used to tools like Harpoon for fast jumping around “bookmarked” spots in my code, once i started using the same technique for my writing it’s like something clicked for me, I was like “holy shit I can arbitrarily jump to spots so fast now…”

I use neovim a lot for coding.

Over time though I discovered it had tonnes of amazing features as a prose editor too, so many powerful plugins for editing prose that blew me away.

Stuff like “warn me if I use tthe same word too much” and whatnot.

And of course telescopes fuzzy find made jumping around to edit my text way faster, and being able to bulk change stuff with a simple :%s/.../.../g feels real good.

I highly recommend folks try out nvim for this use case :3

API is just the term for “the surface of something that’s been exposed to you to interact with”

Libraries, websites, tools, etc all have APIs, it’s just the general term for “this thing has something we can interface with”

A library is a bunch of code someone else wrote.

A package is when you use a tool to bundle up a library to make it easier to distribute to other people, usually adding a version # to it, and adding it to so.e popular package manager network so millions of people can find your package easier.

A framework is a term for a very big cohesive library, with an advanced api, that does a whole bunch of different things that all have stuff in common. Basically a firework is a huge library that provides many many different things to do that all have stuff in common.

Game Engines for example are frameworks.

A library of tools to make a bunch of different website components that all work well together and have stuff in common is a framework.

Etc etc. It’s a bunch of code that doesn’t do anything in it’s own, but provides a bunch of modular pieces you can assemble into something.

Think of a framework like buying a big box of lego. It’s not anything specific yet, but you can assemble all those pieces together to make infinite different things.

GasFishing

What does that have to do with my original statement.

The fact thats only as far back as you went is sorta my point.

Yall dont remember before that, when Trump last was president as well, the crowds getting kettlepotted and gassed out, the peaceful crowds getting dispersed just so trump could take a photo op?

And it’s up to the people in the 50 State’s National Guard, and law enforcement, and the military to decide between the constitution and fascism.

Okay but you do remember we were here before and the national guard and law enforcement extremely made it very clear who’s side they were on… right?

The fuck is protesting going to do at this point, lets be real here. Why do you think a protest has any sway of the bulldozer that is happening in the US Legal system?

Protesting is just not gonna accomplish much, a little bit more than that is needed I think.

I mean it matters here, as it’s literally the topic being actively discussed by the person who literally asked, so obviously it matters to them lol

Sure but my point is, if it was the scenario you described, then Elon would be talking about the right kind of denormalization problem.

Denormalization due to multiple different tables storing their own copies of the same data, in different formats worse yet, would actually be the kind of problem he’s tweeting about.

As opposed to a composite key on one table which means him being an ultracrepidarian, as usual.

Okay but if that happens, musk is right that that’s a bit of a denormalization issue that mayne needs resolving.

SSNs should be stored as strings without any hyphen or additional markup, nothing else.

• Storing as a number can cause issues if you ever wanna support trailing zeros
• any “styling” like hyphens should be handled by a consuming front end system, you want only the important data in the DB to maximize query times

It’s more likely though it’s just a composite key…

Eyup, it’s intuitive overall but there’s just weirdly some people out there that are all or nothing, and don’t understand “right tool for the job” lol
