  • Ugh I got an email like that just a few days ago. “Make a 3min video explaining why you want to work for us and what you bring to the table”. I sway back and forth between refusing to be their stupid dancing monkey and being desperate enough for a new job to consider it. The company itself seems like a shitshow (an AI startup that works with insurance companies) but the job posting itself is in exactly the niche I like with the exactly the technologies I specialize in and the pay is extremely competitive. Honestly idk if I’m gonna go for it or if I have any ounce of self-respect.




  • Oh I know where the violation is, but fixing it in the way my linter wants me too actually breaks a lot of things. I played fast and loose with my useEffect hooks, and now I’m paying the price 🐎
    Having completely fucked handmade code is still more fun than using AI tho, so I’m actually looking forward to untangling my mess


  • The TL;DR I remember is that over a decade ago, someone who works on Gnome has decided that a machine with only a single user and a single DE does not need to have a “Log Out” button by default - when people mentioned that logging out of a user is still useful to reload settings, the response was that “just rebooting is fine in that case”. Thing is, no one actually noticed those changes until now, because with the X11/Wayland switch, every environment was technically running two DEs and had the logout button. But now with Gnome 50, the switch was completed and the Logout button disappeared for many people (as technically intended, but that feature was implemented so long ago that even a lot of current Gnome devs were confused by it)
