No, I hate the office.

Distracting open floor plans, no access to healthy foods, not being able to see my children throughout the day.

I live less than a mile from my office - and I still WFH full time.

I wonder how they are going to keep the show going with this plot line.

I really need to take the time and do a deep dive on this language, it has such an interesting feature set.

The ocean is literally on fire, maybe they don’t know what they are doing.

The good news is most business problems are not that hard.

There are domains where you really have to be a crackerjack engineer, but most jobs just need you to know how to push and pull things out of datastores, make network requests, map data structures, and maybe render the results on a web page.

Technical job interviewers loves to grill candidates on reversing binary trees, or obscure programming language trivia -- but the job itself will be building a CRUD app.

So what should you do? If you enjoy programming, I'd say stick with it. Not everyone needs to be working on ground breaking cryptography or compiler optimizations. Sounds like you just need to find a tech stack and problem space where you can feel comfortable working on it.

Python already has support for optional braces.

  def say_word(word): #{
    print(word)
  #}

Perl. CLI one-liners or small one-off scripts.

You can do so much automation and data munging so quickly with it that it really makes you feel like you have superpowers.

History. Of the world, of your country, of your profession and other industries.

Things are the way they are because of how they used to be.

That context paints everything. The more you understand it, the better you will be able to work within it, and predict what will happen next.

What is a red haired resource?

There is a Perl language room with several interesting sounding presentations.

Because negative news articles about cannabis are almost always flimsy studies trying to spread fear and push an agenda.

If cannabis was legal everywhere almost no one would care about these studies.

However, cannabis is illegal in most places and there is a battle for opinions where groups are trying to spread FUD about how "weed is killing babies".

It's fighting for people to have a rational stance and pushing for policies that don't imprison people over a substance on par with alcohol that brings out the defenders on any article like this.

You add 'hello' in the linter's config as a pre-defined global, until you get around to fixing that.

I would not want my linter to load multiple files, since that pattern of polluting the global namespace is really not maintainable.

The fix can be fairly simple if you wrap your entire b.js file in a function that takes an argument of 'hello' which you invoke from a.js.

If that doesn't work because you have too many global declarations you should probably just dump all the code into one giant file.

That might seem terrible and unmaintainable, but it is exactly what you already have.

Once the mess is all in one spot you can use a linter to start improving the quality, and begin breaking of the code into actual modules.
