🏒 Lucian Marin I was in hospital for 3 days. They didn't find a thing wrong with me. I still got joint paint after fluoroquinolone. After that I was fired. This is the worst year ever for me. It never ends.

🐮 Slater It boggles my mind that people are STILL bloviating their under-educated views on getting the vaccine. GET VACCINATED.

The Last I filled my 500Gb SSD with failed experiments. Together with an omni text file, it become my search engine for code snippets and evaluation of ideas

🛡️ Cyrano Five. One of them is a fan animation project that hasn't got past the "writing the script" stage

☕ Christopher About 40, total. I don't remember what half of them are. Most are React front end with some sort of experimental combination of back end technologies. I don't feel bad because I approach recreational programming with the mindset to learn, not to get rich quick. As long as you learn something and now have an informed opinion on that tech it's not so shameful.

Marcos Varela-Oroda None. That beautiful feeling you only get after formatting your drive.

☀️ Zadjii It's all of them ;__; Some of them are "finished enough" that I get use out of them, but there's maybe _one_ I'd actually put on a resume

🐮 Slater You know what subreply desperately needs? More precise time indicators on posts. "198ms" just isn't cutting it @lucian

Burensasub Would second/minute increments be better?

🏒 Lucian Marin It can only be done with JavaScript like clicking on "2w ago" then converting UTC timestamp to your local time and replacing "2w ago" with "Jun 1, 8:03 AM". Clicking timestamp goes to the reply now.

Burensasub This person was...so-so, but we are interviewing another person tomorrow so I'll be able to compare

🏒 Lucian Marin You should follow some active people from People, Trending, Search sections so it won't look empty when you come back.

🐮 Slater On the one hand, sure. On the other, it's nice to find a social network-y place that isn't cluttered with ads, popups, "did you know?!" interstitials etc. :D

🐮 Slater Every few months I remember this place exists. I should come here more often :)
