Gay: Software Dev

TL;DR: Smart sibling ahead of the curve told me in 2011 that tech jobs will be the future and naturally I didn’t listen, fast forward to 2016 and my contract job laid me off so I started learning Python (as advised by smart sibling)

I start making all sorts of stupid stuff mostly CLI programs, beginner alg problems. beginner alg console games and so on.

Suddenly I realize I probably know enough to make something real, start slowing learning new things and always think “hmm a real software dev probably does x” and then try x.

Went from CLI stuff to web APIs, then full stack websites, then platform specific gui programs, then learning C++.

And at some point it clicked that this stuff is a lot easier than I thought (I had literally no concept of what programming was before)

I apply for an associates in tech program, just before starting I decide to use Linux to get more familiar with dev technology.

I picked Arch Linux btw, had some issues btw, overcame issues btw and then I landed a job during school as a dev and I kept using Linux as dev.

So it was mostly about getting to understand dev landscape more

I use CachyOS on my desktop (I game), and Arch Linux on laptop (by far the best laptop user experience with tiling wm)

that’s an interesting keyboard key map

I’m on x11 so I guess I’ll have to find out tonight if it works or not

as of when ? using what method of using discord, browser or the electron app? ? under x11 or Wayland?

I know there’s dozen ways to screen share but I mostly care about discord and discord screen sharing doesn’t work on Linux, curiously enough if you get obs to create a virtual camera of whatever you want to stream it will stream it flawlessly. Use the default way of streaming anything and it craps out

I bet you were a pretty big wheel down at the ice cream factory

my friends started saying “Linux moment” whenever I have an issue with anything so naturally insay “windows moment” every single time their game crashes or they “need to reinstall graphics drivers”

oh no! it’s [insert excuse] not windows!

I’ve watched spy kids, not a thriller.

Very silly movies though.

I quickly looked at the trailer then skimmed through 1 & 2 (free on YouTube) and it seems very close although I didn’t see the scene in thinking of.

I may be remembering it wrong but it was a kid and their friend playing a game and “the guy” shows up in it.

Very close! As in, this might be it but I skimmed past the scene I’m thinking of.

Also… what a nonsensical movie but hugely creative, makes me miss the 90s.

Can you guess the movie ?

I’ve asked this before online to no avail: Movie set in late 80s maybe early 90s.

Thriller, tech/hacker focused

Possibly extremely bad, Btier or worse

There’s only this line I knew where the bad “entity” gets into a kid’s game and the kid says something to the effect of “there’s a guy in our game” (I watched it in French in like 2006 possibly)

Any ideas? I don’t think it was a French movie, I think it was dubbed from an originally English movie.

Oh yeah, I don’t plan to spend my savings on 2k rent a month

I mean I didn’t want to go too deep into that end just yet, let’s pretend like it’s as easy as jumping off a bridge.

Yeah, hard pass on that. I think I’d retire early and then jump off a bridge once the funds run out.

yeah, ain’t no way I’m working for 30 years. I don’t know what I’ll do but it’s not working.

I too love consumerism so much. let’s all talk about things we buy and love to keep, that’s a very organic conversation.

I know someone that has all the cool game things you can have, and collectibles and rare issues of whatever graphics cards

They’re in a stupid amount of debt, I have no idea how they are paying it off either, might be something that’s going to collections or destroy credit forever
