exactly lol, not too bad after you learn a few things.

also vim adventures is a fun way to learn!

lol I shared this one just yesterday, one of my favorites

that what I assumed

ah that’s right, been a while since sociology courses lol

do you mean negative reinforcement?

it’s like a grid right

• positive = add
• negative = remove
• reinforcement = good thing
• punishment = bad thing

so things that we want:

• positive reinforcement = add good thing
• negative punishment= remove bad thing

things we don’t want

• negative reinforcement= remove good thing
• positive punishment= add bad thing

honestly any insect that primarily feeds on blood would be good to go.

• mosquitoes
• bed bugs
• tics
• fleas

screw all of those things

agree with one and two and younger me would have agreed with your third point but I think I don’t anymore.

yes cut is the simpler and mostly functional tool you need for those tasks.

but it is just so common to need a slight tweak or to want to substitute something or to want to do a specific regex match or weird multi character delimiter or something and you can do it all easily in awk instead of having to pipe three extra times to do everything with the simplest tool.

honestly I got one of these and ended up going back to brushing my tongue. maybe I am like more thoroughly brushing my tongue than other people or something but it never was as clean from a tongue scraper as from brushing

basically a better newer Kinect for my kids. something that’d let them dance or play or see themselves in the game without a controller

lots of questions, I haven’t moved jobs in a while because I’m happy where I am but I’ve added to these even when interviewing people to join my team.

• what is your policy for overtime or comp time when there are evening or weekend emergencies?
• how often do people tend to need to be available outside of standard working hours?
• what does success in this position look like for me 6 months down the road?
• how often do tasks and priorities change last minute?
• how long has the average person been on the team?
• what is the policy on sick days, vacation days, etc
• what is the remote work policy
• how flexible are they on work hours? if it’s a salary position, generally you will have work to do, but many bosses won’t care if you take a 2-hour lunch and do some grocery shopping or whatever. as long as overall you’re doing your work and getting things sorted.
• when interviewing with team members instead of just the new management, it’s a good idea to ask them about the managers style, and what they like about working there.
• (generally by the interview you should have some idea of what the actual job entails, but if not, ask a bunch of questions related to that. what kind of system are you developing for, is it primarily supporting new feature or handling sustaining issues, what languages are used, what is the environment, etc)
