The first page of my resume covers my technical skills, a summary of myself, and my most recent jobs.

When you go past that, it gets to older jobs that are still relevant, then into school, then to side projects, volunteer, etc. basically, if you liked the first page, the rest of it gives them more about who I am.

I think at this point it’s either 3 or 4 pages and every time I’ve gotten a job it’s been one where they asked me about the hobbies on the bottom of the last page, which meant they liked what they saw and liked my interview well enough.

When I update it for my next search, I’ll take my first internship off because it’s no longer relevant, but most everything else is.

+1 to JetBrains.

I started using them like 8 years ago and have never looked back. My dad introduced them to me when I was doing some homework on a family trip and my laptop was dead. After that, I used them for every class in college, then used them at a job where they didn’t provide an IDE but I had the subscription.

Even when I’m not developing at home consistently, it’s just so much better to have it than not.

The PWA app works decent, but, unless I did something wrong, it would open links in itself instead of my main Firefox window which wasn’t what I’d want normally.

I still use it, but it’s definitely not as nice as I’d want it to be.

Definitely one of those things that’s minor and I can look past though.

Hey, some of us are trying to do a huge server migration before we switch so that we can make sure all of our stuff is backed up properly.

I can’t wait to go back, especially since proton is so much better.

Hopefully my Nvidia card doesn’t suck too bad.

Sure, and there’s also an extension to install a web page as an app similar to Chrome. The point is that, out of the box, it lacks some features that I enjoy. Extensions are great and I use plenty of them, but that doesn’t mean that Firefox has those features, it just has extensions that have them.

Firefox is great, don’t get me wrong, I’m definitely preferring it, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have all the features that I wanted up front.

I wasn’t a fan of Firefox either and personally lived using edge. When the whole web integrity thing started happening, I felt like I should switch to Firefox and haven’t looked back.

I still have some complaints, like you can’t install sites native app which I used a lot. I don’t think tab groups have been implemented yet, which isn’t a huge deal but very useful. And there were a few others I can’t remember off the top of my head. In the end I value my privacy a bit more so I’ve decided Firefox is worth it.

Plus mobile ad blocking is a god send.

I’m starting to switch over to Proton. I haven’t paid for it yet but my plan is to start paying and potentially grab usernames on other sites so I can have a consistent email across any site I decide to use.

A few of my communities came over but the big one I’m missing is the college football sub with flairs and everything so I can discriminate against those of lesser teams.

The one here just isn’t the same.

I guess it’s not quite that level of “fuck this shit I’m out” but I realized that I was doing a significant amount of work that would be outside the description of a junior software engineer. I chatted with my boss and asked for a raise, he went to HR and they said no, so I asked for a promotion and he took it all the way to the VP and they still said no. After that I said “well they must not care about me but this other company is offering a 20k raise so I’m out.”

It did suck because my boss was still probably the best manager I’ve ever had who gave me everything he could to help me succeed but they refused to give me a raise. I don’t miss the work but I for sure miss that team.

I personally use Songsterr for tablature. It’s a little lacking in the chord chart department but I do really like their tab tools.

It has a monthly sub on desktop but on mobile I bought it once and have kept it forever so your mileage may vary.

Yeah I occasionally use Instagram and look at reels. Sometimes it’s fun to catch the one snippet from a comedy sketch instead of watching the whole thing.

That said, I wouldn’t miss anything if I deleted it tomorrow.

If you use Steam like most people, check out protondb. It’s not perfect as it only really shows off Steam games, but it’s a good start. Steam will also let you add a non-steam game to your library and Proton will attempt to work with it, and in general it seems pretty good. The only issue you’ll have is when you get to your super old games as the layer that Proton/Wine uses may not work, but for those you might as well just grab a VM and put a version of Windows on it that the game was built for.

The only thing preventing me from hopping back over to Linux is trying to reinstall my games. I’ve used it on and off for a few years and I loved it, but last time I had some issues with power and thought maybe Linux was doing something wonky (ended up being a PSU issue) and then Halo Infinite dropped and I wanted to play that.

In hindsight, both reasons were bad and I should have stayed on Linux.

Sounds like you were just a quitter. I counted to 100 all the time to show off.
