This was my first thought on reading the thread 🙈 I'm so glad I knocked that out when I was like 11, no way my mid-30s ass is staying focused enough for a challenge like that now.

This was an interesting read for me the other day, pretty much exactly what you're describing: https://www.wired.com/story/i-went-undercover-secret-onlyfans-chatter-wasnt-pretty/

Head First Design Patterns really helped me untangle the spaget

Shapez2 went into EA a couple weeks ago too, I've been waiting for Factorio DLC anxiously but this Satisfactory release took me by surprise. It's such a good year for factory sims 🕺

I had put down Satisfactory earlier this year when starting T8 but I think the full release has rejuvenated my interest, I'm hype to finish the game now 🙌

Yeah casual guilds don't really have those issues because the requirements for skill at low raid tiers are so lax. Honestly the game kinda lends itself to toxicity when you play in 25-man groups, and it only takes a single person messing up in a mythic raid to ruin the pull for everyone. When it's like that, isolating the "problem" player is going to be pretty common, and people tend to be more elitist and toxic in general when they are hiding behind a computer screen.

That's not to say a high level guild can't be positive and supportive, though. One of the things I like about watching RWF is that most of the high level guilds seem to have such a tight bond, and they never point fingers over a single raid wipe. They're all in it together and come up with ways to compensate for each other's weaknesses. But it probably helps that every player is highly invested in playing absolutely perfectly, and I'm sure getting a guild to that point requires aggressively cutting out a lot of weak links along the way 😐

+1 if you can have automated checks do part of your reviews for you, it's a win. I never comment about code style anymore, if I care enough I'll build it into the lint config

I kinda wish I knew what it was like working on Y2K stuff. It sounds like the most mundane bug to fix, but the problem is that it was everywhere. Which I imagine made it pretty expensive 👀

This is 100% it for me

I freaked out when I looked at the scale after the holiday season, probably 10kg over what I consider my ideal. Cut beer entirely, 2 months later and I've dropped it all already 👀 I'm not really a big eater but alcohol packs so many calories

so how long does a raspberry vinaigrette take to make normally? I'm no chef but guessing significantly longer than 15 seconds

I think it might solve the problem that people often don't remember if they created their account using SSO or with an email/password combo. So the site looks up your email to see what login method you use in order to redirect you to the proper prompt.

I got a little weird about House once the main cast got half swapped out, but by the end I came to terms with it and I think the show actually ended pretty solid

is that Paul from big brother? the guy who iirc got 2nd place twice? could definitely be a doppelganger but looks very much like him 🤔
