Yeah, that too! When you have some non technical manager breathing down your neck, you might have a hard time not fumbling around even if you normally could resolve the issue in no time.

I can see how this could be unfair, but working as a dev sometimes does require you to be on top of things in a high stress atmosphere. For example, what if you're proposing an excellent technical solution in a meeting but some jaded older engineer is hard to convince? If you can't outline your thinking in that scenario, your solution could be discarded just because someone was louder than you. As someone who used to have performance anxiety, I believe it's generally something you can and should practice for. On the other hand, if there really isn't a need for this type of skill, it totally makes sense to avoid creating interview environments where you are filtering candidates based on it.

Yeah! I'm not really a fan of C&C either but they were pretty good. Yeah Guerilla Toss is hella catchy for sure.

Saw them with Primus last year, great show.

Damn, I see a firewire port on there too!

I never really see people doing this, but I've had a great time pitching my tent in the back of my pickup instead of on the ground. You get a perfectly flat surface and some foam or an air mattress make it pretty comfy.

I have a bike I put together with this mindset and it's pretty awesome. If any component dies I can replace it individually, even if it's not made by the same company. No reason an electric car couldn't have the same benefits except that the average consumer doesn't care about planning ahead

I rented Superman 64 as a kid, never knowing it was a universally hated game. We had fun with the weird multiplayer mode where you fly around in weird pod things. I remember flying through the rings too. The whole game makes zero sense in hindsight.

Houndstooth Peart?

I bet you'd spend about 14 hours a week doing all that stuff, maybe as little as 7-10. Pessimistically then it's 56 hours of work a month and optimistically it's half that. So he'd be paying you from $31.25 to $62.50 an hour, which ranges from great to ridiculous in favor of you. Personally I wouldn't do it because of the weird dynamic of living with my boss, but there could be a great deal in there for you.

Typescript on the other hand...

Love watching his videos, they go way beyond your average music production youtuber content. I generally think generative AI is an awesome tool in itself, but that it's too ripe for the perversion of capitalistic greed. Like Jordan said in the video, it's pretty disgusting to ingest years worth of hard work and dedication from many artists and then use the resulting model to compete with those same artists. I optimistically predict that the current approach to AI will never do much better than the grey slop it currently shits out, though.
