It looks like you professionally sold 30 years of your life for money with no fun. You could have done something for fun all this time, and got payed for it, too. Much better that way.

I did no such thing, I spent the first 15 years as a part time fitness instructor mostly for the social aspect, hanging out with friends and training for and doing group runs and a little travel.

I spent the next 8 years married (still married) and raising two step sons and spent the last two and half years traveling extensively including over a year doing the “digital nomad thing”.

We have been averaging getting on a plane to do something on average over a dozen times a year since late 2021.

Of course the Covid lockdown slowed us down for two years.

When I am at home in Florida, I go swimming at one of the multiple pools or workout at one of the two gyms that’s part of our complex. It’s warm enough most of the year at least during the day.

During the weekends, I go downstairs and hang out at the bar and just sip soda while hanging out with my friend the bartender and whoever else is down there.

I “retired my wife” in 2020 when I was 46 and she was 44 8 years into my marriage so she could pursue her passion projects and we could pick up and travel as often as we wanted to - the joys of working remotely.


Great for you. You are almost certainly not the type of candidate these companies are looking for.

And VSCode will still be around.


Atom is not around. Not 100 percent sure that VSCode will be around. (But I also don’t think that this should hold anyone back who finds VSCode to fit their needs best. There’ll be something else that will take its place.)


Just as Sublime Text is still around :-)


Looks like a unipost in a uniblog


Unicycle: A digital document or data stream in Unicode with no distinct beginning or end, allowing for continuous looping.


It made me raise my unibrow


This is plainly not true


To be more precise, to e.


Mind you, before this goes to prod please add error handling and logging. What happens when bar fails? What about baz? Now, please rewrite this so your team mates can maintain and extend. Yawn, I’ll wait for the PR.


Gotcha, thanks for the feedback! We should also totally A/B test this! I'll make sure that this ties in with the quarterly OKRs, too! I hope I'll get promoted to E6 for that sweet 10% raise next cycle :fingers_crossed:


OTOH, if it wasn't that good we would be using something else, good and better that win3.1 and the history would erase Windows.


The big lie started when they conned people into calling the next version, 3.11 three point one one. Its pretty obvious now with the benefit of hindsight that is an eleven and big tech had to hide the fact they were transitioning from completed code to incomplete code in the unreleased versions 2 through 10.
