Ah, the humans.
On one hand they’re all for peace and unity but on the other hand they’re still using platforms owned by a man who had a hand in orchestrating military killings, swinging the US elections, facilitating Brexit etc and a man who, amongst other things, has been photographed partying with Maxwell, Murdoch, Trump and all the other evil fucks.
Mental. I start seeing sounds after 5-6 hours straight driving.
I’ve levelled an Arc Smash sorcerer to 68 in WT3. It’s not bad but it’s not great.
I’m rolling a Necro.
Oh god no, not Salesforce. No no no.
All of our other products.
Speaking of cool projects; build a lemmy app. It can be console app for simplicity.
Not a bad shout. I see wefwef is a webapp. That could be worth exploring.
Thanks.
I'm not giving up a 20+ year career in IT just because I haven't yet found a way to learn how to code.
There's more than one way to teach a subject and it would be nice to have even a basic understanding of the mess I am supposed to be supporting,
My biggest problem is figuring out what I want to do with any coding skills. I have none, by the way, and I don't even know where to start.
Some of the usual responses when I state this:
"Automate your work" - I work in Salesforce. Have you seen Salesforce? I'm not a multi faceted systems administrator constantly updating DNS records or working in Active Directory.
"Write a cool app" - What cool app? What is "cool"?
"Open dev tools and look around" - Why? Specifically, why?
Also, learning programming is BORING. Most of the courses I've tried are so so stale and they aaallll end up explaining concepts in the same way.
"This is a fleeble and it holds the sping, the sping tells the plus plus that it must do what the herbug says".
k.
I like that.
Life can be overwhelming. Small adjustments can go a long way.
I take stock.
What are my personal positive achievements?
Where am I right now, is it a good place?
It doesn’t have to be my final destination, but is it good?
If I strip away all the fringe and lingering bullshit, am I safe and happy in this specific point in time?
Like right now: I am on the couch drinking coffee on a Saturday morning. I have three dogs with me. I am safe and I am loved.
What happens tomorrow is future zombie_kong’s problem. Not todays.
Edit: you got this. It’s nothing. A mere blip in this adventure we call living.
My opinion is that if you give a shit about how and where you spend your time, you will not support a platform run by and inhabited by dickheads.
Vote with your feet, or thumbs in this case.
We’re mostly just keeping ourselves to ourselves.
You guys do you.
