They wanted to hear how confident you were in your ability to solve problems with .NET. They didn’t want to hear “aCtUaLlY, nO oNe Is PeRfEcT.”

Yeah, I mean no shit, with hindsight it's obvious they were looking for the 10/10 answer. I was kicking myself for days afterwards because that's the only question I felt I answered "wrong". Tech interviews are such a shit show though that you can start to overthink things as an interviewee. Also, an important aspect of the question that I didn't mention was they specified "1 is completely new, and 10 is working at Microsoft on the .net framework itself". The question caught me off guard. I have literally no idea what working at Microsoft on the framework is like. In that context being a 10/10 felt like being among the most knowledgeable person of c# of all time. Could I work on the framework itself? Idk maybe, I've never thought about it, I don't even know what their day to day is. I should've just said 10/10 though, it was a dev II position to work on a web app, it wouldn't have been that hard.

They're selling a single quest as dlc? I mean if you going to do dlc then at least make a full expansion.

Mine started out like this but eventually was replaced with gaming content and cars. Does anyone know how to get the porn back?

I think the maintainer just viewed the bug report as tone deaf. Microsoft is a trillion dollar company and apparently relying on this library without a support contract. Then they a open a high priority bug item. The maintainer saying it's unacceptable is them basically saying they won't prioritize any work unless there's an existing support contract and that they don't do one off payments for bug fixes, which I think is fair.

The disposable one I'm using has a rechargeable battery and an LCD screen lol. So wasteful. I've been saving my dead ones and will be salvaging the battery and screens for a side project.

I swear rage baiting in the social media era has to be the most lucrative grift of all time. Even being super aware of it I still fall for it from time to time.

The religious fruitcake portion of my family. I'm so tired of listening how they're afraid of everything. This year it was the horror of how my state legalized weed, abortion, and some Disney movie had "gay stuff" in it and how thats bad because the movie is meant for kids.

There's something beautiful in the fact that Microsoft, a trillion dollar company, attempts to compete with Google. Which results in a search engine that tells you to kill yourself and leave your wife.

Charging per install has to be the most out of touch insane choices they could have made.

Bethesda delivered a Bethesda game. What exactly were people expecting? This is exactly what I expected and am loving it.

But people are definitely less productive working from home, and I think the people who say that most people are more productive are delusional

Except pretty much every study done on this has said the exact opposite. I am much more productive when I'm home. My team is much more productive when working from home and hard data backs it up. I literally cannot think of one thing about the office that I miss or made me more productive.
