@ramonng_ @GergelyOrosz @EricFrohnhoefer If your boss calls you out in the open... it's fair game to give your answer in the open. Fuck that "disrespectful" noise.

@JakeHerrington @GergelyOrosz I would 100% hire someone who has never written a line of code in their life, but understands how to structure complex changes in a clear & easy to understand fashion.

I would not hire someone who can’t do that but can close a tag properly.

@JakeHerrington @GergelyOrosz It’s much more productive to find out how they conceptualize things, how they approach debugging and abstraction, and how they break down problems into smaller components. Because that’s what they’ll spend their time doing.

If you take this medication I’d recommend you talk to your doctor ASAP. There is no release date as of right now meaning, we don’t know when it’ll be back in stock

@keystonelemur Rogue - “maybe I can sneak an opportunistic refactoring into this ticket?”

@JakeHerrington 🤚 I did a semester at community college, learned nothing, and dropped out!
