@BadFox no, sorry. I'm too easily identifiable from that :)

I have a big Jörmungandr tattoo taking up the entire inside of my left forearm. I've only ever had people ask what it was out of curiosity and my old boss thought it was rad. I'm getting the other side done sometime this year I hope.

"fixed the bug I retardedly introduced last version because I didn't write any tests"

@electrineer to stop your crazy ex and/or fans from calling you at all hours. Whoever leaked my number to the horde, not cool.

@rEaL-jAsE i don't think that'd be worthwhile, lol. They take an annoying amount of time to print

@intoleRANT it didn't really come with anything special. The manufacturer made a wrapper for a free slicer called Cura, so I use that, but normal Cura would work just fine as well, and I suspect the same would be true for any other slicer. What you need is just any way to generate gcode files from stl files, and you're good to go.

@LotsOfCaffeine Creality Ender 3 Max. It's very noob friendly but there's definitely a learning curve.

Mmm, alt-andet-end-nem-id

@AleCx04 is now the time to tell you I also didn't pay a single krone out of pocket for my education? It's all tax-funded and I even get paid monthly by the government to study 😎

@RememberMe I think it's a language that lets you jump a bunch of hoops which makes it bad for noobs. To each their own though, I have no doubt many enjoy learning it, but personally I think my general views on code and the quality of code I'd write would be lower if I had learned from a very flexible language at first. I was grateful (not in the moment but later on) for the rigid structures in my early programming classes.

@d-fanelli that's very interesting. Where are you from, if you don't mind me asking? Here you can't have courses that are unrelated to your degree, the university wouldn't allow you to take them even if you wanted to, and certainly wouldn't force them on you.

Why would you teach python to comp sci people? My uni only teaches it to data scientists. I made it until the first semester of the msc before I had to learn, and had experience from many real programming languages by then. Disgusting language, and your teacher is equally disgusting. Especially the beginning of a comp sci programme is important, if you don't teach the noobs the basics well, how are they gonna build years of discrete maths, algorithms and more on top? I feel quality was steadily declining throughout my bsc because my university chose to focus on making just the first year good..

Neat. My uni wanted to do it here, but it's illegal so they couldn't. They were forced to do the unthinkable and trust their students. Imagine that.

@OmerFlame nobody knows 🤷🏻‍♀️

@r20408e122449d hahaha yes he's a long boi. To be honest I don't know what happened to that pic. I tried to edit it to be better but that did nothing 🤷🏻‍♀️

@yehaaw I don't see how my comment implied that.

Why? This is not a democracy so all you could use it for is making medium-esque bad "infotainment" that's just "DO YOU PREFER VIM OR EMACS?!" in hopes of scraping together more ++'s to boost your ego.

It'd be utterly pointless.

@Root another smoothie-lover, I see. I've gotta try the lemon juice thing!

@Frederick on a related smoothie note I recommend getting one of those smoothie blenders where you blend directly into the bottle you drink from. I have a smoothie for breakfast every day and it's wonderful. Just remember it should be more vegetable than fruit in order to be good for ya. I recommend spinach, banana and strawberry. You don't even taste the spinach.

@Root :O we should partner up! A yarn café that sells tea and smoothies! People would hang out for hours knitting and buying more drinks! Bulletproof plan

@Frederick gartner sounds dope. When I have had enough of IT I'm gonna drop it and open a yarn shop

@Frederick nice 🙂 things like this make me regret a career in IT.

@jeeper this is my second job and four years in, though only part time. I don't know, I'm just bored of it and never liked it that much to begin with but here I am digging a hole for myself. I can't pick a different educational path now so scrum meetings for life for me, if I ever make it out of positions that involve writing 0 code.

@Frederick no, it's just an extra feature they give paying customers for free lol

@Frederick the other guy got into the company via a school project so he's pretty much just continuing what he did that semester since he's the only one who knows the code well

@Frederick I don't think it's a general thing here as the company is a start-up and the other student dev has good assignments. I think it's personal :/

@AlmondSauce we've already been over all of that. I wrote a long report on our future testing strategy and presented to him three weeks ago and I think he understands not every test can be done in postman and we need "layers" of tests. The issue is, I think, he doesn't know the code and neither do I and he worries that it'll take too long for me to learn what the fuck the offshore devs did (I've already found several things with clear comments saying "should be false in prod" next to a bool set to true 🙄)

I just wanna write code, but I doubt this industry is for me. I think I'll settle for poverty.

@Jilano I kinda feel like that is the case though. My job interview was 10 minutes and they didn't ask about my code skills at all. If they had, I definitely wouldn't have gotten the job.

@RememberMe I live in a small rainforest, can confirm some days my plant making a new leaf is the only thing keeping me from a mental breakdown

Hennie no. Yous the smortest, I believe in you and you should also believe in you, thanks for coming to my ted talk. *rustles pompoms*
