For me — I once had a coding interview where my brain straight up shutdown. Couldn’t even setup the class, let alone do the coding kata 😂 one of the longest hours of my life
I had a take home test for an interview and I forgot to read the README and I borked it up so bad that halfway through when I realized everything was completely sideways both of my hands went numb and I developed one of the worst migraine I have ever had.
i once had a coding interview for an iOS dev position in Swift, and when asked to write out a class w/ methods i totally blanked and said i'd do it in C++ instead 🤦♀️
I had a technical phone screen interview with hiring manager where my brain shut off and I couldn’t answer any of the questions more than surface-level. I knew ~5 minutes in that it wasn’t going to happen.
Oddly freeing after since I didn’t have any anxiety about passing 😅
The first time I hit the Internet
The first query to Google was "download free food" I should have known they were lying when they said everything is there 😔
i think if i die and go to hell it'll be just an empty room with nothing but a computer, and that computer only has blender with no internet access to download anything else
As google/search in general has declined in quality, my techical chops have as well. It turns out I know a lot less than I thought, I was just real good at searching and synthesizing in the moment.
The shift into management and back down has been eye opening.
While trying to grab iirc, a serial number off the top of a server, I had to pull it out and while pulling it out- it came unplugged… aaaaand the entire client was still open and EVERYTHING ran through that server lmfao.

Also across most apps light/dark theme doesn't matter to me because they're both high contrast headache-inducing garbage.
