All of these topics are : How the Universe Works 101

..and they apply to literally any and every field of study..

General knowledge like this is ducking priceless when it comes to understanding.. so. ducking. much.

That aside, I also think your specialization comment is stupid. Did you happen to graduate from a school in India in the past 16 months?

So I don't get to prioritize one candidate over the other? I can only vote "approve" or "disapprove"?

These are rhetorical questions and I know the answers, but dang, you failed to explain the "ranked" part of "ranked choice"..

It is a talking point meant to engage you and waste your time, it doesn't have to make sense. This is conservative playbook 101.

It is a demonstration of good faith vs bad faith. If only you explain it to the person properly then they will change their mind? Nope. They're just energy/effort vampires trying to exhaust you.

Not really. It's pretty good. Growth will just bring more bot wars. But I guess bot-immigration is just a permanent trait of the internet now.

Automate Backup of Factorio Saves (programming.dev)
 

I found this Python script a few years ago, it is simple enough that a non-programmer could understand 90% of it. I just remembered it had been running as a scheduled task all this time when I thought I had lost some saves.

Thought I'd post it here in case anyone can use it. Minor things are hard coded but they are few and easy to edit.

Cannot Get Points in Sprints.. (programming.dev)

Edit : I appreciate all the PoVs and I will reply to everyone. This is important to me. Just going to go rest a bit and I'll be back.

Edit : Leaving the self-insulting language in, but yeah.. Point taken, I should stop being so mean to myself. And to add another FYI, I've been on this codebase for about 3 months, which I probably should have mentioned.

I have no idea what is wrong with me. I get tasks, I work on them, they NEVER seem to close. Meanwhile everyone around me is left and right solving their issues. I reach out for a second opinion because I must just be stupid, and every time I reach out the person is never able to assist in any meaningful way.

It's like my tasks always have blockers that everyone around me seems perplexed by, I get a lot of, "Wow, that's crazy," or, "Yeah your job does seem to have a lot of unusual blockers."

I'm at the point where I'm in a daily meeting where I explain what I'm working on to a senior dev because obviously they noticed I'm a person on the team with sometimes zero points in a whole month. It's so discouraging to have to go to a daily meeting because apparently I'm stupid? The thing is, when I explain what I'm blocked by, every person has said, "Oh weird, this seems like a really confusing task." Or, "Damn I've never seen anything like that."

So obviously I look at other peoples' tasks.. what are they working on? And their tasks are SO simple and straightforward, yet I've NEVER had a task like that, all my tasks were opened years ago, remained open for months or years, then were assigned to me. And they're all fucky. Wth.

Tbh I'm running out of things to write because I don't want to justify it, because I feel like I should be doing better. What the hell is wrong with me?

I have wanted to change jobs for close to two years now.. but you've all interacted with recruiters.. they never help, and job search is impossible as a person with anxiety and possibly autism?

I love coding, I hate my coding environment.. Anyone else ever have this type of issue in programming?
