Same, but I’m starting to get concerned that we’re done with updates
Painful read, as it resonates with me. I think I’m pretty hot shit but was humbled by the interview processes a few years back.
But in a different vein, found myself laughing at this reply in the comments:

This reminds me about the time I almost got fired. I was at work, playing an intense round of table tennis, when the CEO burst out of his office. “This is it everybody!” he yelled, running over to the Big Wheel. He gave the wheel a spin, and then hurriedly explained “I’ve got a linked list and I need to know if it contains a cycle!”
I watched the wheel slow to a stop and panic set in as I realized the pointer was on my name. All eyes were on me as the whole team rushed into the Coding Room. I opened our communal laptop and started up notepad, which was the only application it was capable of running. The CIO loved to brag how he had cut 1% of costs by eliminating laptop and IDE purchases.
Everyone watched intently as I started to implement a linked list in C, which I needed to do before starting on the actual problem. I was pretty sure I knew how to solve this problem, so I started banging out some code. Then I hit a mental block. Someone behind me said meekly “couldn’t we just google this?” The crowd had barely begun to gasp and murmur at this suggestion when the CEO shouted “No! That’s not how we do it!”
I began to sweat. “How much time do I have left?” I said. “Five minutes!” was the panicked reply from one of my teammates. Suddenly I remembered the final part of the solution and frantically began to type again. “What happens if he runs out of time?” someone whispered. “Nobody knows… But do you really want to find out?” someone else said. I knew I’d be fired at the very least.
“Done!” I said confidently, and the CEO peered over my shoulder at the screen. After a few seconds, his eyes narrowed. “Ssssyntax error” he hissed. My heart raced as I scanned the code for the error. I found it just in time! A missing semicolon. Everyone sighed in relief and resumed their ping-pong and foosball games. I chuckled to myself and thought “this is why they pay us the big bucks!”
We’re not actually sure what the company’s product is. Whatever it is though, it relies exclusively on things like sorting and searching algorithms, and somehow doesn’t need data storage, infrastructure, networking, apis, or any of that amateur stuff.
Holy shit, it’s happening! I finally understand a !risa inside joke. I just started watching Lower Decks
I think you accidentally a word…or six
/end thread.
That’s the whole debate, OP. It’s solved with this short exchange.
I am deeply offended and highly amused
Lmao excellent reference
Me now, after having read this article
I’m really missing the “serious” tags from Reddit right about now. Or maybe the Out of the Loop subreddit

I have no advice for you, as I live in a very humid place without very much risk of static shocks. I just want to say this question and post are hilarious.
I like how you can tell who didn’t read your whole post by them giving you real advice about not taking this job
My infuriation is significantly higher than mild
Oh, no worries at all! Your post doesn’t strike me as malicious at all. Just seems like we should be especially concerned with making the OPs feel “stupid” here :)
So it seems like you have 2 main points in your post (1 OP is overly worried, 2 sexual abuse is the real concern), so keeping both but with a more neutral tone:
You should not be worried about saying that a kid looks cute. The real concern that you’re hinting at with behavior toward children is anything that connotes sexual abuse, and the comment “that is a cute kid” is very different from that.
Or you could go for a positive tone:
You have nothing to worry about! Saying a kid looks cute is very different from sexualizing them.

I agree with your point, but the tone of your post strikes me as inappropriate for this particular community
Well if you have hyper mobility in your joints like me, people are always interested when I fold my pinky flat against the back of my hand.
It’s super low effort for me…might involve some broken bones or dislocations for others though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think this madlad is talking about dipping his own beans into his latte…?
I’ve truly loved Avelon and it seems to have the best native gif support of any app I’ve used, but I’m pretty sure the dev has abandoned it too ☹️
