So what are the odds those are spez-trained bots?

I think it boils down to whether or not you still enjoy the base in-game activities. Because if you don't - just take a break, you're most likely burnt out. If you do, but certain frames/weapons make it too easy then just go offmeta, pick something that is fun mechanically and try to make it work

You don't catch it if that's the case

I don't know what's in there (and I'm not sure I want that know) but burger rodeo looks funny in the list :D

Angels do almost nothing when affected by Banshee's silence. They just walk towards you and AA so yeah, makes it easy. The silence is a Helminth ability which is also quite nice.

I don't think it has anything to do with being a programmer or not, it's just about being a human and that's basically how human are in general.

So yeah, I think if a person is 'meant' to be mean and arrogant they will be mean and arrogant no matter the job.

Overall you can make many mistakes in almost any field before mastering it. The only things I can think of that are kind of specific to programming (not exclusive though) are that you don't have to be nice to people(which is kind of a requirement for sales, for example) and access to feeling of accomplishment that you have created something possibly great.

Plus being slightly more disagreeable is generally a good feat for a programmer (depends on the company and position) which also may contribute to the cause.

Yeah, overall I don't think I really felt any correlation between being a programmer and being an asshole.

Edit: On the second thought I think there's a possible correlation between being a programmer and how much of an asshole they could be...

It depends on the data you have to work with but SQL is quite capable in itself. Yet SQL might be tricky for some specific tasks (like unwrapping dimensions from a plain table when you have to partially rotatate the table, building multidimensional datasets) and for those cases more traditional approaches tend to he far easier to grasp and use.

Like... Can you use it? Yes. Should you? If you're highly skilled and proficient in SQL then sure, why not... But would've you asked the question in the first place if that was the case?

I don't have to do such tasks often enough (once in a month or two) to be bothered and when I need to I'll just smack my head against the table (ha-ha) until I make it (remember that part about being skilled in SQL - I'm not skilled enough lol)... Maybe I'll polish the result with some script or a bit of Go. But that's not an approach I'd recommend to use on regular basis.

O-O-O

P. S. Better be safe than sorry as the saying goes

I'm afraid you forgot the meme

Just to be fair, and I'm not advocating for that shitbag, it takes a single prick with a brick to smack someone across the head. It's just numbers game - there's a lot of people exposed to the situation and not all of them are well in their heads.

I mean have you seen any of those Karen videos? Not a pleasant experience to be on receiving end. So yeah, idk if the leak was intentional (it feels like it) but considering the situation I would have also been cautious if I were a reddit employee.

Well, I had been using official reddit app until the shitstorm happened - it's not about "oh the app I like is closing - I'll leave" and rather about the company being... well, a corporate shitout without any care for it's users. For me personally that is.
