Same. Good thing I'm unemployed.

Even better when you're the solo contributor to a repo and you "git blame" out of habit and go "oh, yeah, right..."

I don't know why, but handling this all ourselves is conceptually easier to me than trying to work a service like Auth0 into it.

If this app takes off, we don't need to worry about the MAU (monthly active user) premium you must pay for those auth services once you're past the free tier limit.

100% agree. I hate that it's used so much for assessing candidates in this industry. I've designed and built numerous things and optimized and refactored legacy codebases. I've led features from inception to continual maintenance. I know I can do the work. I can't prove that with leetcode though.

I feel this on so many levels.

Thanks; I appreciate it. The job market is horrible, and I'm going through some health issues at the moment that I'm afraid may inhibit my capabilities during a tech interview if I ever get one (plus the performance anxiety of it all).

Do you want to borrow my copy of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck? I haven't read it yet.

I can relate. Contractors in Romania merge something during the middle of the night Eastern Time, break the system, I come into work in the morning and have to urgently fix it. Great times.

Gemini is now telling me that maybe the feature isn't available to all users and that's why it can't generate the requested image for me. What an excuse, considering it's generated images of people just fine for me before, using the same experimental model. Love that I pay $20/mo for this.

I'm very open about not knowing things, sometimes to a detriment. 😂

Ooo, what prompted this?

That's better than what I discovered when moving out of my apartment. A body was found in the utility closet thirty years ago, and this closet shared the wall with our apartment's den. Our neighbor, who's lived there forever, told us when we were packing up.
