that is actually one of the better and more natural-looking hairlines I've seen. They did a good job!

Even the 90s and early 2000s! The internet used to be way more endearing back then, with way more individually operated websites, blogs, etc.

What library are you using for the tree layout?

For me it is very different use cases. Copilot often prevents me from needing to write mundane blocks of code, as it will often fill in what I'm looking for after I write the function name.

If I'm still unsure how I might approach a certain problem, or if it isn't immediately clear to me how I'd write the function I want, I might type in a prompt to ChatGPT and see what it comes up with. But it would really slow down my workflow if I had to prompt ChatGPT for every mundane function I plan to write.

Are you referring to like microdoses (in regards to the difficulty focusing)? Or larger than that?

IMO everyone produces some terrible work early in their careers. It is part of the learning/growth process. I wouldn't want to work for a manager who told me "This is terrible", nor would I dream of saying that to an employee of mine, it would unnecessarily break their spirit. I think that would cultivate the type of environment where people are afraid to voice their opinion for fear of being embarrassed, etc.

Growing up in the suburbs with two parents working, and myself and my brother both playing sports on different teams, we would've had a hard time getting by with less than 4 cars.

What are the "all things equal" here, though? I would tend to disagree that someone who can complete the coding challenge faster is the objectively better candidate. Especially if we are talking about leet coding, where there are people who study their asses off and memorize the common leet code problems. Or maybe the coding challenge isn't leet code, but just so happens to be something that the candidate has done before, or has done recently. Just because one candidate lucked out and has done this very specific thing, doesn't mean they are better than a candidate who could figure it out in half a day, if given a little more time to do so.

Any material you’d recommend on this topic? It’s a topic that I’ve been thinking about a lot to try and reform myself from being such a people pleaser.

As a 36 year old that recently moved yet again to a new city (the third time in my adult life), I've had decent luck joining recreational sports leagues. Lots of leagues will have options to sign up as a "free agent", which usually means you'll get placed on a team with other free agents, which tend to be others in the same boat of trying to meet new people. If you aren't necessarily the athletic type, bowling and kickball are pretty good options. I've found that most of these leagues (especially if you sign up for the novice/recreational level) are NOT very competitive, and most people are just out to have fun, meet friends, possibly have some drinks, etc.

How has that worked out for you, in terms of health? Obviously it is anecdotal, but I'm still curious. I've been plant based for 5 years. Trying to determine if it is a life long thing for me or not.

Could say the same, if not even more so, about alcohol. But that has been a pervasive part of culture for thousands of years.

That is funny, this thread reminded me of a completely different "Nathan For You" episode. He hired a Web Dev to build an evite template that included a bunch of spammy foul language in "invisible" text in the footer, causing the invite to go to receiver's spam folder. The idea was that you could invite people to a party whom you didn't ACTUALLY want to show up, but also didn't want to hurt their feelings. If they asked why they weren't invited, you could incredulously claim that you DID invite them, and suggest that maybe it went to their spam folder.

The assumption here is that you are buying them fresh and then using the entire bag within 1-2 weeks (while they are still fresh). If you don't go through coffee that fast, then that probably doesn't apply.

In his defense, he is saying to write "one sentence per line" only _while_ you are writing/editing. He says this is "for your eyes only", and that you'll recombine into paragraphs afterwards.

I think the idea is that, if your sentence can stand up to the added scrutiny you'll give it while seeing it sitting all alone, then it is worth keeping. Otherwise it is a wasteful sentence.

Anyway, I do agree that the actual "one sentence per line" prose that is so pervasive on places like LinkedIn is awful.
