I use awk a good bit. Not as much as when I was doing data work, though. It’s better than cut at splitting on whitespace in many contexts. Lots of other nice uses like variable scope, regex, and summing

What did I just say

Look I’m a coward too. But let’s not try to rationalise away our inaction on top of it

Well they’ve been trained well

Greatly, greatly, influenced by genetics. I’ve known people, hell I’ve dated people, who ate better and worked out more than I did, but were still fat af. Meanwhile I just do a little jog and basically can eat whatever I want.

I’m not going to go and pretend I’m not fat because I’ve made smart choices.

In principle I see it, and I did used to have this opinion when I was younger. But as I’ve got older I’ve associated getting paid with working (for some odd reason) and the last thing I want to do is work on my relaxing evening jog, and think about how much money I can make.

I would love it if an employer would let you take time off during the day to workout, though. There’s only so much you can work until a lunch break

I mean me too, but not for money

Yeah I wouldn’t even want to play video games if my bonus was contingent on it. Way to suck the joy out of something positive, corpos

They probably don’t even get the job. Probably along anyone with bad knees, flat feet, obesity, or other conditions

BDS?

Nvm I just looked it up: https://bdsmovement.net/what-is-bds

Boycott. Divest. Sanctions.

I was with you until you called him fat lol

Typically, but employers are getting wise. They don’t want to lose their best technical talent just because they’re on the spectrum or whatever. Or arguably worse: see them sputter out in a hybrid management/tech role that is more lucrative, but much less impactful than if they’d just stayed tech.

Staff, and architect are two other roles that are sometimes like that. Yet other places will just keep going up levels / pay bands, like eng I, II; senior eng I, II, III, IV, …, VII, etc

That you, Vova?

To anyone dreading this for real, there are places where you can get ahead as an IC and it’s considered a parallel career track to management. 0 direct reports. Maybe some mentoring, if you want, but that’s it.

You just have to find those places

Think about what you’re saying

Me either, but my government is an ally to the US and also contributes their own aid to Israel, so it applies to me. Assuming you’re in a democracy, it’s very likely you have some stake (even small) in the genocide.

Even boycotting goods produced on occupied land is a small step anyone can take.

Is the German Shepard a rescue? Anyway that and the camcorder. I’m making cute dog videos

That just sounds like the same thing with different wording

Not what we’re talking about, but you should be writing to your reps about this. Most people just feel bad and move on. Actually writing a letter will get attention

Incredible. I could have sworn
