I am professionally a software developer for 8 years and I simply don’t have ideas for personal projects (Can’t find any problem that I can fix with programming). At times I feel like that’s natural and I shouldn’t worry about it. But on the other hand, I do like to imagine having something personal that I can work on so...
What are you passionate about outside programming? Reading? Writing? Hiking? Tv or movie watching? Connecting with friends? Gossiping about the neighborhood?
What ever it is… do that. Focus on that. Then, if you still want to build personal projects, see if the tools around those hobbies are adequate and to your liking. If not, there you have it. Your next project.
If everything is good and you enjoy your hobbies, please understand that software engineering is a job. You don’t need to do it outside work as well. It’s like asking brick layers if they have personal taj mahals that they’re building brick by brick outside of their daily work of building other people’s houses. They’ll look at you like you’ve lost it.
I feel like it leans more into the latter as a kind of tech industry comedy. It stars Rob McElhenney who played Mac in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and I feel like a lot of the humor his character adds is present in Mythic Quest....
Just a bunch of folks being utter jerks for no reason? The 5 episodes I watched scarred me enough to want to never go back. To me, it’s a crass show. But if you enjoy it, good for you!
we should not outsource our responsibility to think critically and draw conclusions to journalists.
This is the reason why half of America is dumb as fuck.
Also, there’s something called journalist norms. If Reuters decides, for example, to start calling them bribes, everyone can start calling them bribes. It’s only libel if it’s not the norm to describe things that way. Same with calling them “lies”. “Non-truths” is such a stupid journalistic standard. They should have stuck with “lies” from the beginning.
“reporting all the facts” is an editorial decision as well. There’s nothing stopping newspapers from reporting on statements by politicians and comparing those statements to the objective truth or facts within the same reporting. The only thing stopping them is all-sides-ism. I was going to say that fear of getting sued is also stopping them, but they actively do a lot of reporting that gets them sued or killed and they happily go on in the name of First Amendment and journalistic freedoms. So yeah, it’s literally an editorial decision to report only on “blah said this!” instead of “blah said this, but the facts don’t support it!”
As for spoonfeeding, sure that’s always a bad idea. But there’s always a fine line, isn’t there?
nitpick here but there already are terms for saying something that’s not true (whether the speaker believes it or not) - one is “lie” and the other is “untruth”. There was never the need to create a new word for it. I’m not saying language shouldn’t progress. But in this case, coining a special term for jus Trump gave him too much power in our collective consciences than was necessary.
