For what it's worth, if you didn't tell me English wasn't your first language, I would not have known from this comment.

If you want to learn the stuff necessary for that certification, here's a document, the WAS Body of Knowledge listing what you need to know and maybe where you can learn that. Less detailed version in the WAS Exam Content Outline.

Seeing a lot of posts like this did help push me to actually make the switch instead of just talking about doing it someday.

I still can't believe antibabypillen is a real German word for exactly what you think it is—birth control pills.

I wonder if English has any words that people who have it as a second language find hilarious for similar reasons, and if so what they are…

Oh thank goodness I am not the only one. Just the way I, an American, read things, and my cynicism about people trying to replace devs with AI says top (trying to hire real devs) goes first and bottom (fired everyone) second; title and the fact this was posted in Programmer Humor implies it's bottom first and top second.

Oh dang. I don't calorie track anymore, but back when I used MyFitnessPal I think they let me scan barcodes without a subscription… thanks for making this for those who need it!

Why is this being downvoted?

I hate watching videos. I have no interest in influencers. It might be good to know what their impact is given I won't know myself, since I always opt out.

RAID: Shadow Legends™ is an immersive online experience with everything you'd expect from a brand new RPG title. It's got an amazing storyline, awesome 3D graphics, giant boss fights, PVP battles, and hundreds of never before seen champions to collect and customize. I never expected to get this level of performance out of a mobile game. Look how crazy the level of detail is on these champions! RAID: Shadow Legends™ is getting big real fast, so you should definitely get in early. Starting now will give you a huge head start. There's also an upcoming Special Launch Tournament with crazy prizes! And not to mention, this game is absolutely free! So go ahead and check out the video description to find out more about RAID: Shadow Legends™. There, you will find a link to the store page and a special code to unlock all sorts of goodies. Using the special code, you can get 50,000 Silver immediately, and a FREE Epic Level Champion as part of the new players program, courtesy of course of the RAID: Shadow Legends™ devs.

Name would not be enough to stop me from using it but TiddlyWiki absolutely sounds stupid. It's probably a play off "tiddlywinks" but that also sounds stupid. It's something I'd cringe saying. I might unabashedly type out my recommendation with the name to a friend or send a link to it, but would try to dodge saying the name in an in-person conversation.

This hurts spread. One of the primary ways I find new software is by word of mouth from friends in-person (somehow I have an easier time ignoring or brushing off suggestions that are texted to me, and I take ones made in-person more seriously. I have no idea why), and I usually end up sticking with whatever they recommended.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion! I was considering firing up a VM just for Hare, but thanks for bringing this option to my attention.

When I was in middle school, social media might have been omnipresent but even the really popular kids never exceeded 1,000 followers. In high school you could increase the upper limit on followers, but most people hovered around 250 to low 1,000s depending on their popularity. And I never heard anyone talk about their follower quantity, let alone insult people over it. I suppose this is my "kids these days" moment.

Then again, we all just had personal accounts for our friends to follow and weren't trying to be some big influencer or social media star—maybe that's what these kids are trying to do? Either way, I am really hoping what you overheard was just banter or an ironic joke between the two, and not legit bullying.

I cannot help but see this as a diaper pattern…
