That is going to happen. Heart attack during the drive and then dead body arrives. Creepy.

Also MATLAB is as short, are we going to say Matlab beats Python because disp is shorter than print?

Also who doesn't end the line after a cout, what monstrous method is this.

Yeah that c++ code looks wrong, why is the return outside of the main function?

@arminiae when others depend on you the decision becomes so much harder, I can empathise with that. Best of luck however the chips fall.

@arminiae apart from loyalty to the people who hired you, what is keeping you there? They offer no job security, they have not supplied the preoffered courses and by all accounts you do not feel part of the team. Why save it when you could leave? you need to be selfish when it comes to your career, same as they are in asking you to stay. Just my opinion, of course do what you think is best, you obviously know more about the situation than some dude on the internet.

I had a good guffaw

Congrats, that is those are the right people to work for.

Honesty and clarity are always the way to go. If they let you go then at least it will be on honest terms and then also rejoining will be easier since they fully understood the termination. If they do not understand then they are not the company for you right now.

If you have money already to support yourself for the time needed to develop them and you have been realistic about it then go for it of course. But expect to fail and if it does it is all your fault, and if you can not get an equivalent job that you have now afterwards that will also be your fault, no one else's. This is key to striking out on your own. It is better to have the side projects fully developed before quitting as the risk will then be much lower and you could even have revenue before going full time. Your idea should scale with your success, that way you do not need to earn a certain amount to live and force your idea in a bad direction. Best of luck.

One day it will draw a square, and we know the end times have come.

Gonna go really contrary here, Folk. I love folk in general, generally modern stuff, it gets me relaxed like I am coding by a lake which if I am honest is my dream place to work. A cabin, with a big window looking out onto a a forest surrounded lake, with a solid wood desk looking directly out over the water. So it puts me in my happy place and my policy has always been I work best when I am happy

My favourites are Gregory Alan Isakov, Andrew Belle and Nathaniel Rateliff. I wrote a book listening to the last one.

@IronPhreak sounds fun, if you needed a collaborator I would be up for it. I have only a little experience with C# but happy to learn. Let me know.

I also got to this point, I started by not drinking on weekends. I would get less done but then it was okay. then I reduced daily cups and then removed half the days and now I just have it when I would like to. it can be tough cold turkey.

can I ask what coverage is please? thanks in advance

did the second, now I do the first. for some reason when I switched I felt like a wizard.
