Me: “Hey would you mind wiping your machines when you’re done with them?”
Them: “Which one?”
Me: “Um any of them, I’ve watched you cycle through multiple without cleaning any of them”
Them: “Oh no worries, I don’t sweat”
Me: “… okay well that’s nice but it’s common courtesy”Then I just walked away because I didn’t know what else to say. I’ve decided to give up on this particular battle, it’s just too common unfortunately.
Also the rampant cell phone sitters between sets is absurd. People do a set and then scroll TikTok for 10 minutes. I’ve (politely) confronted a LOT of people about that. Most are courteous but seemingly have no shame and continue doing it after. One teen got pretty pissy with me about it.
Common sense ain’t so common and I guess common courtesy even less so! I complained to PF staff but they don’t give a shit, I’m guessing vibes-wise they’re paid too poorly to care about minor things like that.

Not sure what switch flipped inside my head but I’m enjoying actually doing weights and I already feel like I’m noticing a difference!
It’s a Planet Fitness so the clientele is pretty poorly behaved (obnoxious teens, people who don’t clean the machines, people recording their workouts etc), but it’s cheap and they’ve got a ton of equipment.

I think overall I’d say a 6/10. It definitely doesn’t feel worth $70.
I am not surprised by the reception it has received and while I think it’s fair, it at times feels overblown. Yes it’s a flawed game that feels rushed and Insomniac should’ve done better, but there’s still some fun to be had if you liked the Arkham Batman games.
People complaining that you don’t feel strong as Wolverine is my biggest gripe because I think it really comes down to them not play the game long enough in most cases. Yes you’re a little weak at the start which feels goofy narratively since you have adamantium claws, but as you upgrade your skills and learn the combat more you really can shred through most enemies other than the bigger baddies. The boss fights are really hit or miss with the sentinel fights being atrocious so far. I’m about 9 hours in or so and I’ll definitely complete the game.

What’s frustrating though is it’s not the old days of gaming where that sort of thing made sense. Because of the wonder of Proton it’s pretty much exclusively games using kernel anticheat (which imo should not exist). The main one I notice it for is Rocket League.
I pretty much keep my Windows partition around exclusively to play Rocket League occasionally at this point. I feel like every time I boot into it is a jump scare. How did I use that monstrosity of an OS for so long?

All of my SWE friends and coworkers agree this is a deeply weird time to be in the industry. LLM coding has dominated many (but not all) tech companies. Some of it is cool and exciting, but a lot of it is terrible and horrifying. I thought it could be a good time to do a vibe check.
Some possible questions to answer if you’d like:
- How has your work changed in the past year? How much of your daily work now involves LLM tools?
- Are you enjoying your work more, less, or the same? Has your relationship with work changed in general?
- Do you feel like you’re working more or less now? The same?
- Are you hopeful or fearful of the future (let’s say next 5 years) of SWE? Mixed?
- Have you found any useful tips or advice for thriving in the current landscape?
- Has your career trajectory changed? Do you plan on seeking out different types of roles?
Also it would be useful to give whatever background info you’re comfortable sharing to help ground things like: size of company, years of experience, type of role, location, etc.
Any and all discussion around the industry is welcome!

Loved the first book and I intend to read all three. The Sherlock Holmes + sci-fi/fantasy blend feels like a tough genre combo to balance, but this series does a pretty good job I think.
I think I slightly preferred his Divine Cities series, which also had a mystery vibe within its fantasy world but very differently written. That world was just so interesting, and the worldbuilding in Shadow of Leviathan is a little lighter I feel.

Some but not all of my friends know I’m bi; I’m monogamously married to someone of the opposite gender and I don’t really go out of my way to tell people unless it’s relevant. I was chatting with a few people and I heard my friend’s SO in the group behind me mention something about how straight I seem. Ironically I was wearing a rainbow shirt that night. Anyways, I turn around upon hearing it and she just sort of smiles like it’s a funny joke and she intended for me to hear it. I asked her to repeat it, which she does, and I just say “uh well I’m not”. Which clearly made her very flustered and she says she didn’t know. I just walk away because I didn’t know how else to continue it.
It made me feel very bad at the time because while I can understand why someone would assume it based on being in a long term relationship with a woman, I don’t really try to “present” my sexuality in any way. I also feel like if you painted a picture in your mind of what a stereotypically straight man looks like, I very likely don’t resemble him at all.
I also couldn’t figure out what the point of it was other than to be rude? Even If I was straight, her tone was implying it pejoratively. So no option really made sense to me. And as far as I’m aware she’s straight too, so the whole thing was bizarre. Her SO apologized to me but she never did, which hurt. I like her a lot though and it’s the sole negative memory I have of her so I’ve gotten over it, but it’s the only time I’ve felt outed.
Thankfully this was an extremely pro-LGBT group so there was no real concern.

I’m not a believer in capital punishment, but yes lethal injection is nasty business and also weirdly hard to source. From what I recall it usually includes a paralytic because watching someone die an excruciating death makes most people uncomfortable with the premise.
