What’s the point of @FedEx even having a vacation hold feature if you’re just going to deliver packages to my home anyway? @FedExHelp

@forbiddenvoid @artgillespie @walesmd @KirinDave And honestly it was about the best interview experience I ever had. I just didn't want the commute. (c:

[dathanb @dathanb]

@forbiddenvoid @artgillespie @walesmd @KirinDave Yeah, agreed. The closest I've ever gotten to that sort of experience was at TrueVault (I ended up going to Udacity instead), where they gave me a stub of a program and their own API docs and asked me to fill in the portion of the stub that communicated with their service.

[dathanb @dathanb]

@forbiddenvoid @artgillespie @walesmd @KirinDave That latter (plus extending existing code for new requirements) is much more representative of the majoriy of industry dev work, so if anything your ability to take a piece of code, read it, and fix it is BETTER signal than solving the same problem from scratch.

[dathanb @dathanb]

@forbiddenvoid @artgillespie @walesmd @KirinDave Using Copilot like that turns the interview from a "can you come up with a solution to this from scratch" kind of problem into a "can you figure out what this code is doing, and what it's doing wrong, and fix it?" kind of problem.

@sarah_edo I do NOT recommend putting “Harder to Breathe” by Maroon 5 in your running playlist. 🫠

I love watching Colin Jost die a little more inside with every racist joke Michael Che makes him read.

@zoggins Reminds me of the time I plugged a server power supply into a 220V outlet when the power supply switch was set to 110V. Sparks flew everywhere! Miraculously, the mobo was unharmed and (after replacing the power supply) that server worked for years afterwards.

@jayjum Thanks for remininding me I haven't taken claritin yet today.

@LadyPine @calebsaysthings That article and plan are about taxing billionaires' stock holdings, not inheritance.

@peterseibel @polotek Second the recommendation for Briggs and Riley. I have a B+R backpack that I've been carrying everywhere for almost ten years, and it's still in fantastic shape. Plus when it does eventually wear out, the lifetime warranty should get me a replacement for free.

Really don't want to have to dispute that charge when my subscription renews on Monday, but that's what's going to happen if I can't cancel via the website.

[dathanb @dathanb]

@amazonmusic I've tried like five times now to cancel my music unlimited subscription, but every time I hit the "confirm cancellation" link, I get sent to https://t.co/NzsmV1JHHj where I get a 404 message with a cute dog.
