If you are very knowledgeable and understand most of the contents of the topic you're reading, then I recommend continuing to read.

For me, that's mostly not the case and I always start with trying to find concrete examples rather than abstract explanations. If it's coding-related, even more so. Most documented pieces out there are poorly written so code examples can help me explain the intention of what's written.

I really see that big list as just ideas to think about. I don't think just because it's there, the person is going to wreak havoc. (But it is a good point to say "hey, there's these questions here. Don't go nuts thinking you SHOULD ask all these questions")

In my case, everything could be good with the manager but I just bring up interesting topics for me to learn more from the manager.

Hmm, I didn't read the article. Seems a little tacky considering the first word in the title is "swedes"

depends on your personal needs but if you're reasonable and want a 1 bedroom, a $2500-$3000 is fair game and live near downtown. You can go much cheaper (roughly half that price) if you're willing to live outside of downtown

Eh, this is 50/50 in my book. I lean towards adding more context than just this but if you write it in my PR, I have no problems with it unless you repeatedly did not absorb my code and wrote this kind of comment.

Good guidelines for the most part. I don't really see anything wrong with "Why are you using this approach? You’re adding unnecessary complexity" though.

and ill still be this bitter dude who doesn't want the 911 call to happen even when im unconscious. :(

no

ill agree with you for most cases except atlassian software.

wonder why it's called code mentor. they're either a mentor for education purposes or doing work unrelated to that.

I haven't had issues cancelling Amazon prime and it was pretty straightforward for me. For me, I cancel every few months and then come crawling back.

makes sense to me. best of luck to you.

yeah, otherwise you might see commit messages like "wtf is this shit" :)

Regarding #1 for expectations of a position, many people don't know how to properly articulate the position well. I say unfortunately, it's up to the candidate to do his due diligence and ultimately, still test the job in the early phase. Now, if it's really far off, that's just poorly done then.

2. Just sounds like bad companies or big companies to me. Makes sense to me, move on. That's the sign of a good developer as well as a strong individual in my book.

I think you're mainly new to the discomforting/uncertainty part. Take it slow and in steps. The uncertainty is always gonna be there in some shape or form. I've learned to embrace it at this point.

Great to hear you've been trying to be more open. Continue improving on that!

Well, all I can say is I'm glad my team of developers is not like this. Though there was one code review from my senior engineer going increasingly heavy on asking for documentation examples on a specific function. I felt like he was angry with me but maybe he just had a strong feeling those examples were important... Actually I will never know so time to forget it :)

I'd say you have to accept the reality of having a lot of unknowns in new software projects. By doing that, I guess I mean embracing the fear since there's always going to new situations that come up in reality. In my mind, I can't actually get used to anything since something new always crops up so I just take that as the norm.

At the very least, I have a list of priorities that i HAVE to get done in one place. Anything else I have to do, I do categorize but I'm not worried about getting to them. If I make this any more of a system, I'm worried I turn my life into work so this is good enough for me.

Why does it matter? Just put down what you did regardless of pay.

wow, we base this conclusion on the result of a supposedly creative task after a boring activity? im gonna assume the boring activity was actually boring because those are easy to create but you most certainly cannot define what is creative for these people.

Aside from this study, I would say boredom is not good for creativity. and for an individual who is not bored, as long as he can relax, I believe he can boost the right amounts of creativity.

how are the two even comparable?

Didn't look that bad from the co-worker. He could grow up a little bit but that's all I see really.

Problem was your boss cause one could easily retort "oh okay, you accepted what I had mentioned I was going to do and you later go against it, saying it was the wrong decision"? (obviously he's your boss so you're stuck and saying that wouldn't have helped much)

I've used latex but now I realize html/css might do the job better for me...

Ask them why they won't listen. In my personal experience as a junior dev I was working under idiots because everytime I asked certain questions, they never gave me a plausible answer.

I remember I had trouble opening up the video window vs the playlist and not understanding how to switch between the two.

That being said, VLC has still been amazing for all my video needs

Me: Started taking computer science courses but I struggled a lot. My thoughts at the end of my graduation was there's just not enough time to cram in all the information and skills they asked out of me but luckily, I graduated. If I could turn back the clock, I'd just Google for resources myself to learn programming, databases, and all and have chosen a different major to do instead.

Advice: Start with a high level programming language like Python or Ruby. Google to your heart's content.

you got my vote for funniest here so far :)

typing that means you probably needs some rest to let your brain refuel imo.

change it into a non-solo project?

If anything, quite the opposite. Don't let those fools put you down. The challenges you've solved, if anything, have a wide range of complexities in my opinion.
