I’ve actually been in this situation when I was working as a sys admin at a webhosting company. First I played a lot of games. Once that started to get boring I taught myself how to code which set me up to transition from sys admin to development work.
I hear it when it’s playing on a car radio or in an ad or on some show, and I acknowledge how music can spur an emotional response when used effectively, but I don’t regularly listen to it.
I’m assuming everyone here listens to music somewhat regularly
As somebody who does not regularly listen to music, I am curious why you would make this assumption.
Is it less common than it used to be or are you just becoming more aware of it?
Amid his disappearance, the football team has advanced to the Virginia regional final, scheduled for this weekend, during their 12-0 season.
I can only imagine that somebody asked “How’s the team doing?” and the reporter, instead of getting reactions from the players, just looked up their season performance.
Assuming that I am aware of the perfect predictability machine and it’s affect on the situation: I move to the other side of the lever and push it. They predictability machine would be correct in its prediction that I would not pull the lever and nobody has to die.
Some of them got side jobs, but others simply couldn’t afford the child care or gas they needed to work.
So his plan is to penalize the poor and reward the more financially affluent? Sounds on brand for him.
One byte at a time?
I thought the pic was 3 cookies and was all excited. Then I read the headline. I probably should not be left unsupervised in a lab.
Ahhh yes. The old “can we do this again, but closer to the midterm elections” play.
Guess it depends on what you think signals a strong economy.

Any minute now that trickle down effect is gonna feel like a torrential down poor of cash. Yup. Any minute now.
It’ll probably start right after these job creators finish creating jobs for some of those estimated 7+ million unemployed Americans that are actively looking for work.
In other words, a concentration camp.
Not sure if it’s helpful, but pivotal steps in my career path involved unintentional networking.
Started working at a call center reading scripts and calling it “tech support” from that job I made friends with a coworker with a similar interest in computers. A few years later he was working in-house IT for a major company and referred me.
A few years in that field and I made friends with another coworker who got me interested in scripting / coding. A few years later after meeting that friend, he was working as a software developer and referred me to my first coding job.
Once my foot was in the door I would learn and grow in each position until I felt like I stopped growing my skillset and I would find a new job where I could build new skills.
It helps that I have a genuine interest and enjoyment in learning and improving my skills. Computers and technology just happened to be the skillet that people started to pay me for. I could have just as easily ended up a machinist, contractor, chef or any other profession sparked by a personal interest of mine.
No, he’s very chill and easy going. Just kinda goes with the flow of whatever is happening. The most common thing we imagine running through his head, after “I want treats”, is “Well, this is my life now”.
My SO’s company asks for presentations if a candidate for certain high-level positions make it to final rounds of interviewing. It’s pitched as being a “high level overview to start a conversation, not a TED talk”. They also pay the candidates for the time to put this presentation together. I think it’s something like $200, but I am not sure.
Being asked to put together a presentation is not necessarily bad, but being asked to put in your personal time without compensation is a red flag. It speaks a lot to their culture and expectations of personal sacrifice the company likely asks of their employees.
