    I’m not disagreeing that it’s different. It’s a more fair comparison to compare it to embedded software development, where you are writing low level code for a specific piece of hardware.

    I’m just saying that abstraction in general is not an excuse for the current state of computer software. Computers are so insanely fast nowadays it makes no sense that Windows file Explorer and other such software can be so sluggish still.



  • There are usually many layers before your application actually gets to someone who understands the job and can actually evaluate how valuable you are to the role. There are an insane number of applications that are just gone before someone useful can actually read it.

    I know personally I would never have gotten my last 3 jobs were it not for networking and knowing people.

    Networking really is the way forward. I understand for some people that socialising is insanely difficult, but knowing the right people can get you jobs that you aren’t even qualified for.

    This is a myth, no idea where it came from, but dogs will sniff you if they want to come sniff you. Body language is important and it’s important to give the dog agency in the greeting. Putting your hand out towards a dog is not good advice for most people as most people don’t understand body language, can be threatening to the dog, and it’ll probably get someone bit by a nervous dog.

    In general, just ask the owner for permission and information, or keep a comfortable distance and leave the dog be. Dogs are still animals, even if they’re usually friendly.
