Inventing a paradigm shift away from CLI is an interesting play, let me grab my popcorn

The financial risk is in many forms as well, when starting out you can barely, if at all, pay yourself, insurance / benefits are all out of pocket. In addition to that, you probably can’t afford to hire people right away, so you’ll hold every position that a traditional software company will have.

I’m currently an officer of an entrepreneurial student org, pretty much the perfect environment to start a business. Why? Because even though you are working towards a degree, you can find a team of similarly minded people, work together in person during structured meeting times, and can have an MVP by the time you graduate so you can expand if you choose to pursue your product of business full time. Campuses are often great places to have trial runs and test out business models.

The irony of it is that managing the club inhibits me from doing that myself. So if I choose to go down that road, I’ll have 6 months to build that minimum model, but I’ll also have the connections that I helped build between our organization and local venture capitalists and companies that are interested in the products our members build. The 6 months come from how long I have until I have to start paying off my loans, which is even more irony because i don’t need a degree to run my own business / build my own products.

What I enjoy having about a desktop is the customization. It allows me to have more options for hardware upgrade, have much better air flow and cooling, and get more value out of the parts I buy by putting it together myself. Laptops have small form processors and graphics cards that perform at a slightly lower level.

I play video games though, so these things matter more to me than someone strictly using it for development. I do just fine coding on a legacy T440 thinkpad when I’m on the move, but it’s nice coming home to a beast that can run anything and everything with plenty of performance to spare

@Haxk20 that’s how I plan to keep doing it. Cower was a nice way to search and download the packages from the command line to build, though

My friend was next to me earlier and said “look at this picture of a black hole.” I thought he said butthole, this was much more interesting lmao

@gathurian It wasn't entirely my choice, as a team that was the tool that got picked

@jAsE Upon first inspection it looks like it only supports SMS with Android, with base functionality being file/link sharing or whatever

@rookiemaverick I'll look into that, thanks

@shelladdicted I use an upgraded and pimped out Latitude E6440. It's easier to use the VGA than switch an HDMI back and forth because I'm a lazy shit

@SauceBoss I'm still using GitHub for open source and portfolio building projects, I feel that it is much more established if I'm trying to market myself. I just don't like the idea of paying to have to get private repositories, especially for an entire organization

Took the job. Wants “Visual Studio” code ported to MatLab because that’s what the hardware company decided to write the library in. Image and data processing from high resolution scans of the eyes - for the purpose of disease recognition as well as countless other applications. I’m kind of excited for the change in scenery from the standard student dev jobs I’ve held

I mean for starters I don't even know what language or technologies they use in their stack

Looks like a found a new profile pic for Discord 😂

“Fuck Drupal” 😂😂😂

@junners got beat out in publicity by Ubuntu on the Windows Store, unrightfully so

@junners I hate to admit that I didn’t know that was a thing..

@Fradow I merely overheard it - I’m doing a separate intern project so I don’t know the context

@spongessuck plot twist: I did exactly that, plus many more since

You guys don't like my hand me down "ergonomic" early 2000's Msoft keyboard 😂😂

I could use some suggestions, I plan on replacing it as a Christmas gift to myself

@Andi it's the NCR flag from Fallout New Vegas. I have hardly left the Midwest 😔

@xalez unfortunately

Gambling site called MyBookie. I've never closed a tab that quickly in my life

@CptFox the drink codes are in the format of letter then number, so although it's frustrating on the eyes it makes some sense

@tahnik I can't say I have

@CozyPlanes the essence of a developer. If you need/want it and can't find it, make it.

If you can't find one, let's make one

Didn't know having a pretty wallpaper was windows exclusive

@ohundred I've also moved on from antivirus software for the most part. The funny part is that much of the free antivirus software available is so intrusive that it's almost like a virus itself. Oh the irony

Somebody needs some kratom to take the edge off
