With the jobmarket the way it is?
Historically awful? Don't get me wrong, the advice is still solid, but this was a weird way to preface it - it's the hardest time in my 10-year career to "just find a new job".

Every day this place becomes more like Reddit
And people give Python shit for significant whitespace ๐
Appreciate the feedback, thanks!
That came across my recommendation queue the other day - despite my dislike for horror, it looks interesting enough that I might check it out!
Wel, I guess I'm rewatching that tonight...
(For the uninitiated: Thomas Middleditch and Ben Schwartz, aka "the guy from Silicon Valley and Jean-Ralphio from Parks & Rec", did an improv series on Netflix - and it's great)
The way the score is calculated is hidden from the public
I mean.....technically, I guess, the specific parameters are hidden? But the meaningful actions - the ways in which you can improve your score - are extremely clearly advertized.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not exactly a passionate advocate for the system - but it's nowhere near as obfuscated as people claim. And if you accept the premise that there needs to be some algorithmic way to evaluate someone's creditworthiness, "their past reliability in repaying debts" is a pretty reasonable choice.
Yes, the same EU. The fact that it's considering some poor choices doesn't detract from the fact that it's actions thus far have been positive and deserve appreciation. Real Life doesn't split people neatly into heroes and villains.
It is absolutely insane to me that people rag on the Python packing ecosystem when TypeScript exists. Sure, Python's not perfect (Rust and Go seem better, from the small amount I've dabbled with them), but way easier and more stable than any TS project I've worked on.
They're not inherently insulting - there are ways to use those phrases appropriately, but they can be (and often are) used sarcastically, when the speaker had been clear in the first place.
Do a multitude of automated posts without comments and conversation really count as activity?
Yes, absolutely. Posts are activity just as much as comments - arguably even more so, since Lemmy is not immune to Reddit's flaw of having a hundred comments saying essentially the same thing. Some subreddits have insightful comments that are worthwhile in-and-of themselves - but they are few and far between.
"X depends on or is built up on Y" does not imply "X is Y". Concepts, laws, techniques, etc. can depend or be higher-order expressions of QM without being QM. If you started asking a QM scientist about tensile strength or the Mohs scale they would (rightly) be confused.
