  • Let’s face reality. The first time that Trump was elected, everyone was surprised, sure.

    Now that he will be elected again, there is no more surprise. A lot of Americans still chose Trump after everything he’s said and done and he’s won the popular vote.

    The US have been toeing the line of fascism for a while now and a good proportion of their citizens just told us they embraced it, regardless of if they know what that entails or not.

    Donald Trump is just a symptom, not the cause. If there wasn’t any fascists, he wouldn’t even be in the race yet here we are.

    With that said, if the polls are really close between the Libs and Cons for a majority government, I for sure will vote for the Libs. The Cons are the worst possible majority government we can have.

    Otherwise, I am free to choose NPD, as I did in every elections before.




  • Yes, but San Marzano tomatoes that are sweeter are still only 3g of sugar per 100g, and 2g of net carbs per 100g.

    And if you make a mirepoix for your sauce, the sugars in onions and carrots are higher.

    So for people that are afraid of sugar, a sauce made with tomatoes, carrots, onions and celery isn’t as scary as adding sugar.

    And the acidity isn’t considered as well. From experience, they are less acidic as well, so you don’t need to add sugar to mask that.

    It’s rarely the case. You rarely work in vacuum where your work only affects what you do at the moment. There is always a downstream or upstream dependency/requirement that needs to be met that you have to take into account in your development.

    You have to avoid the problem that might come later that you are aware of. If it’s not possible, you have to mitigate the impact of the future problems.

    It’s not possible to know of all the problems that might/will happen, but with a little work before a project, a lot of issues can be avoided/mitigated.

    I wouldn’t want civil engineers thinking like that, because our infrastructure would be a lot worse than it is today.




  • Using Windows is terrible right now, but we’ve spent so much time using it that we developped workarounds and knowledge of the OS.

    When you switch to Linux, it’s a different OS altogether, and that’s not counting the different flavors.

    So yeah, all that to say that the pain and friction pass quite rapidly and you are left with an uncluttered OS (until you fill it up with useless crap).

    Corpos have worked so hard at making the UX “seamless” that people aren’t used to fiddling with the computer anymore.



  • Thanks for your input.

    I think I would like to follow all these people and their work on C, and their in depth knowledge. But free time is sparse, and I don’t have the mental energy when I do have some time.

    As for my work, I work in a startup where I am the only one doing what I do. However, I have a lot of leeway in how I code, so I am always somewhat read on best practices. So I can’t really refer to a senior dev, but I can self-teach.

    I think I coded enough that a lot of what I do is a reflex, and I often can approximate a first solution,but I have doubts all the time on how I implement new features. That makes it so that I am a slower coder and I really struggle to do fast prototyping.

    I am aware enough of what I do well, and what I struggle, so there’s that.




  • At least, we know emotionally that it will get better with the second one haha, even if the day to day is rought.

    With the first one, it felt like we would never get to the other side of it. But we did and we will for the second one.

    I am eager to learn new things, so having so little free time is definitely tough. And the lack of sleep/energy makes it even harder.

    Thanks for the encouragement, it’s nice to be acknowledged by someone else that went through the same thing. We often forget that we are not alone and a lot of people got through it before us.


  • I work in a startup, so I’d say that almost every day, I learn something new. So I don’t really need to look in-between tasks because a lot of tasks bring new challenges.

    When I worked in corpos, my job was restricted to the same tasks and specific knowledge. Now it’s the opposite where I need to learn what I need to create a feature or fix an issue.

    I guess that lately, a lot of new things have popped up and I need to absorb a lot of information to implement the features I need. And that is probably what is triggering the imposter syndrome.

    Thanks for the insight, it is appreciated.
