Either die or get a job. Not picky on which one.

Can I pretend I have mediocre experience of 5+ years and get away with applying for junior dev positions? 🤔

ML in the streets and AnCom in the sheets.

Technically 0 hours a day. Anyone wanna hire an unemployed mediocre programmer?

The dead frog in the show box scene had me laughing so hard the first time I saw it I was actually crying.

Imo homemade is better. This makes enough for 2 lbs of pasta and I found it freezes very well so we got 2 while meals out of it last time I made it.

I say "my recipe" but I got it from here: https://www.forkintheroad.co/vegan-spinach-pesto/#recipe

I use sunflower seeds instead of pine nuts because I'm not a millionaire. I have made it with a blend of spinach and basil before as well. Spinach is cheaper unless you grow basil or something.

This is actually the route I've been inching towards. I've started getting my veggie burgers with just veggies and will make a slaw for my tacos and I've been missing it less and less. I'm mostly gonna treat it as part of my "vegan junk food" list hopefully going forward.

But like I'll still use nooch for like my pesto and such lol. But my pesto recipe is one of those things where you can't even really tell it's vegan imo.

You don't really miss it after a few months. And maybe it's stockholme syndrome but lately when I get something with vegan "cheese" on it, it hasn't been awful. Last weekend I got a Daiya pizza thinking it was gonna be complete trash and it wasn't horrible actually.

So I get to keep my toothbrush????? 👀👀👀👀

Thankfully what I mostly do right now isn't gonna break anything major but I have had a few after 5 calls from product owners because certain things in our software that is custom configured for each client might have been done wrong(it's kind of common enough that it isn't that big of a deal) and it's mostly a quick fix and from lack of communication. Where I struggle with is that I am first to call for support issues and I still don't quite know the software or the industry like the back of my hand.

The small project I am rolling around in my head is probably already made but I want to be able to create a chat app that has full E2E encryption with chat history/room deletion based on if the chat hasn't been active for a few hours or whatever. Sort of encrypted chat but with the killswitch of a VPN. But I don't know if it already existing matters as much as the experience I would get from just doing it.

Also thanks for the encouragement. Lately especially I have been beating myself up because I should really be further along than where I am.

I actually got my first real project a few weeks ago after over a year here and just completely screwed the pooch on it. I had like 2 methods written but no functionality after a week with it. I don't know if I was asking the wrong questions or what but the product owner which was one of our senior devs really had me struggling.

I'm finishing up on a course this week that covers a few things that my school didn't cover and then I am gonna start working on my own project to hopefully get my bearings straight. I don't really have one in mind but I'm considering a messenger app or ye ole student registry type app that a lot of people start with.
