This is so cool!

I did just about spit out of coffee reading the words vibe coded fish tinder though. But a smart thing to implement.

Thing is most businesses take time to build. If you're in "dire need", like really about to starve, you probably would take a job you might even be overqualified for.

Even with that being the case finding a new job is a hassle and means you have an interruption in pay and insurance. Gives me a lot of incentive to just work at BigCo and not worry about it until -I- want to worry about it.

Yes but I think the point is a lot of interviewers do not go for pseudocode. They want syntax perfect solutions on a whiteboard.

There isn't ifttt for Nest Secure yet, but it does integrate with Nest Cam and nest Thermostat.

My workplace was across the street from my house though so I had trouble with the GPS stuff on ifttt when I tried it a few years ago. Bah.

Sometimes monitoring fails too.

They just can't use the app to control it. The physical lock still works, so they just have to use the key.

For a night it turned into a regular lock.

I see where you're coming from. I think I just don't like the "complain about it" angle.

I can't change the language itself. I feel like a lot of people stress about those issues and can talk about them at length. I'm usually like "This isn't optimal, here's the workaround, this other language does it better but it's got other issues that are even worse for what we're building. Problem solved, moving on." Like, it's just another problem to solve at my problem solving job. The answer is not elegant, but that's the case with so many things in the real world...but this is probably the stoic in me.

+1 to Khan Academy. Explanations are super clear. Their website allows you to work through practice problems too, which I think is the most important thing.

This seems better, it's more about tradeoffs.

I don't really feel the need to complain about languages. I just find the workaround and implement it and move on. All languages have trade offs. I can tell you that this one lends more to scaling projects or this one is easier to maintain, this one is easier to iterate, etc. But getting upset doesn't do anything. You just pick the best you can and work with it. I'm not going to get mad that my hammer isn't also a drill.

I agree, I think it's better to ask what some of those trade offs are. What's this tech good or bad at? I'm not gonna complain about a language feature that I can't do anything about. I'm gonna implement the work around and move on. What's the point in sitting around and complaining? I can't alter the language itself and it would be unreasonable to change the project language past a certain point.

Reading into how Javascript was created clarified that the "issues" with the language were. I understand the creators(who are probably far smarter than I) chose to make things that way for a reason. I can often just google these reasons "Why does X language do this?" and understand. Any time I think "This seems silly..." there's a reason for it.

Unsubscribe from r/politics and subscribe to r/writingprompts instead. You get free short stories, a good way to read a little something before bed. Just implement a limit of some sort on yourself. "I'll only read 2 stories per night" or something like that. I keep my reddit super positive: DIY, programming, fitness, wholesomememes, finance. That's the beauty of it, you can control that content.

I try to keep HN as my only news source. I still know about the big stuff but I don't get super weighed down. I donate to a charity I know is doing good and focus on what I can do to improve things. I can't fix all the madness in the world but if I focus on a narrow strip of life that I can reach I can have more positive impact than I would sitting around stressed and sad.

Just google "yourInterest discord reddit" and someone is usually talking about it. I'm in a keto diet discord & joined a programming channel recently.

I see N64 discord servers. I don't know if they're busy, but I see 'em.

Join a discord channel for whatever game you're playing. You can voice chat with people and make new friends that way.

I'm in the League of Legends discord and party up with strangers all the time. If the game goes well or people are just particularly friendly we usually play a few rounds and sometimes friend requests are sent and we end up playing more often. I've met a fair amount of people this way.

I do agree though, love MMOs for community. Some of my oldest friends are from my MMO days, but those games often get grindy and take up too much time.
