They wanted to hear how confident you were in your ability to solve problems with .NET. They didn’t want to hear “aCtUaLlY, nO oNe Is PeRfEcT.”

Yeah, I mean no shit, with hindsight it’s obvious they were looking for the 10/10 answer. I was kicking myself for days afterwards because that’s the only question I felt I answered “wrong”. Tech interviews are such a shit show though that you can start to overthink things as an interviewee. Also, an important aspect of the question that I didn’t mention was they specified “1 is completely new, and 10 is working at Microsoft on the .net framework itself”. The question caught me off guard. I have literally no idea what working at Microsoft on the framework is like. In that context being a 10/10 felt like being among the most knowledgeable person of c# of all time. Could I work on the framework itself? Idk maybe, I’ve never thought about it, I don’t even know what their day to day is. I should’ve just said 10/10 though, it was a dev II position to work on a web app, it wouldn’t have been that hard.

This is my take on it. Moron evolved to be a more general term associated with anyone acting foolish. It evolved to the point that nobody really associates it as a word targeted directly at intellectualy disabled folks. The r-word was always more commonly understood as “the word you would say to a disabled person if you wanted to hurt them the most”. Because of this people who use it weren’t/aren’t given the benefit of the doubt that they’re just being hyperbolic and not actually a bigot directly to disabled people. Why did one evolve to be more hurtful than the other? I’m not sure. There’s probably a parallel universe out there where the reverse scenario exists.

Edit: nvm, disregard. just realized this post is 10d old and people already articulated what I intended much better than me.

They’re selling a single quest as dlc? I mean if you going to do dlc then at least make a full expansion.

Have you tried photopea? It doesn’t have everything Photoshop has but it’s been able to fit my needs

I usually get really mad for like 2 hours before realizing I don’t care about anything at all

Mine started out like this but eventually was replaced with gaming content and cars. Does anyone know how to get the porn back?

I think the maintainer just viewed the bug report as tone deaf. Microsoft is a trillion dollar company and apparently relying on this library without a support contract. Then they a open a high priority bug item. The maintainer saying it’s unacceptable is them basically saying they won’t prioritize any work unless there’s an existing support contract and that they don’t do one off payments for bug fixes, which I think is fair.

Yeah with initial disaster at release it’s easy to forget they originally promised multiplayer would be added in later and a robust functioning society where each NPC would have a job and routine they follow

The Williams distro of choice is a single windows 7 machine with an excel spreadsheet containing all of the companies data

How difficult did you find the process? Over here we basically just go to the store and buy it after a simple background check. Even the background check seems to be avoidable if you do a private gun sale. At least this is how it was described to me by friends who have firearms, I don’t own any myself.

I don’t blame you at all. I’ve worked at a place that have sucked my life force away like yours. The saying “no good deed goes unpunished” comes to mind. Patching servers and fixing infrastructure issues gets rewarded with getting blamed for any server or app issue going forward and then fixing said issues on top of your current workload. Getting out of that hell hole was one of the best decisions I’ve made.

Yeah if a company relies on some underpaid person from Macedonia to do an entire IT departments worth of crap then they deserve to get hacked lmao

There have been two mass shootings in my city in the last 4 years. The first was a mile from my house on a popular bar hopping street that I had been to countless times. Many of my friends were there that night, some while it happened, and the only reason I wasn’t, was because I flaked on plans last second to stay home and play video games.

Everywhere felt a lot different after that, it felt surreal. You could sense this difference on everyone around you as well. What helped the most was to just continue my routine and go out of my way to smile or be nice to strangers I passed by. Time went on, I kept doing my morning walks down that street, kept going to work every morning, and eventually it just stopped occupying my mind at all.

You can always tell when someone’s been a career contractor because they never adhere to any of the established patterns/styles in the codebase.

He claimed everyone at dev II and higher was a 10 in their company. Complete dunning Kruger. I have no doubt I could’ve understood and worked on whatever software they have.

I was kicking myself for days afterwards for not doing exactly as you said. I’m not good at these types of interview questions in the moment. Also before that was the tech interview classic of asking a bunch random trivia questions, which I actually nailed. Also this was for dev II position.

I definitely dodged a bullet though. Some months later I got hired at a different company for 30k more.

Amen. I once had an interview where they asked what my skill is with .net on a scale of 1 - 10. I answered 6.5 even though at the time I had been doing it for 7 years. They looked annoyed and said they were looking for someone who was a 10. I countered with nobody is a 10, not them or even the people working on the framework itself. I didn’t pass the interview and I think this question was why.

The people who say coding is easy do it because it does become easy eventually and then eventually you forget how hard it was in the beginning. It’s also a lot easier if you find it fun and can practice in an environment where you don’t have crazy deadlines to meet and have a good teacher or mentor who is willing to help along the way.

The one thing I use but will never put on my resume

I’ve never experienced the breakpoint issue with Rider but I do find myself needing to invalidate cache and reload every now and then if I’m using it heavily. To be fair though I’ve had to do the same with VS for windows. It was always nice to use VS for Mac as a last resort sanity check though just to roll out that Rider is having issues and not my code.
