I think we smoothly transitioned from touchscreens in cars being a luxury signifier, to them being both pretty cheap and STILL kind of a luxury signifier, though to a smaller extent nowadays.

I often use the phrase "[I/he/she/they/we] have already sunk so much time into ..."
Not dissimilar to "sunk cost".

It occurs to me that a decent strategy on the large boards is to look for larger primes, since they are likely to only work one way

As a candidate this is disappointing as I found Triplebyte's "technical screen first, apply after" approach to job hunting pretty cool.

If you need an eager developer with a strong interest in backend, system, and functional programming, I'm your guy. I've gotten to the point where I'm stuck studying this field and I need a professional environment to let loose in.
I'm most comfortable writing Java, Python, or C/C++. I have a smattering of experience in SpringBoot, Django, and NextJS, and I know enough React to do some damage.
I have two internships under my belt that had me developing projects relatively independently and learned a ton along the way. I'm very comfortable with standard dev tooling like git and the command. Also, check my GitHub for my in-progress attempt to create social networking over BitTorrent.
I believe I'm a fast learner, and could succeed in a professional environment if given the chance to.

Sorry, I should have made it clear that I was referring only to an average two-person home's energy use for creating hot water monthly.

Doing some back of the napkin math, their contractual minimum of 2.5 kWh a day into your water heater works out to 75 kWh a month. This [1] site claims the average two person home uses 195 kWh a month, so it potentially could be a decent offset. I do wonder whether this quoted 2.5 kWh is energy coming off the server into your heater, or if it's measured somewhere else. Energy loss from thermal transfer would make a huge difference in measured input into your heating system.

This spoke to me a lot as someone entering their senior year at a liberal arts school's CS program, especially the lack of CS "fundamentals" stuff. I trust my ability to self-teach and make a decent career out of software, but when the web dev class is pushing JQuery in 2021 it's not weird to be a bit nervous. I'm genuinely nervous for some of our less go-getter graduates. Anyone else from similar backgrounds have schooling and career stories?
