    I already pay for two VPS servers monthly, one of which already has a VPN since my family is in Russia. I can gladly give you unlimited access to it or host a new one for you. I DM'd you the IP addresses, please check if they work for you and reply there.

    Yeah, Kagi Translate is awesome, highly recommend. It is LLM-based, but it's much more advanced than a "translate from X to Y" prompt wrapper, especially in the "best" mode

    The interviewers who push back just dont get people like this as their guests

    Can we get some content where the people making these claims actually find some pushback?

    No, I don't verbalise colors or visual images like my childhood room. I do pronounce logo names in my head though, because when I see a McDonald's logo I immediately recognize it and think "oh that's McDonalds". Kinda hard to look at a logo of a company without thinking of that company's name.

    Don't have much experience in SWE job hunting, but I've heard from a few people in science-adjacent fields (ie. Bioinformatics) that they could benefit from more pure CS employees instead of everyone being a bio grad with some coding knowledge. Have you tried applying to those fields?

    Another option could be trying to get a job at your university's IT department. Probably won't be a very exciting job, but some unis are happy to hire recent graduates, so depending on your university, this may be a good way to gain experience.

    Apple SF Pro font is just for Apple computers.

    Seems to just be Microsoft's Segoe font? Personally not a huge fan tbh, I prefer Helvetica-style fonts (ie. Inter or Apple's SF Pro), but I get where you're coming from

    I assumed @vili doesn't have an internal monologue because they can read words without pronouncing them. Still pronouncing them sometimes, ie. when you need to spell them, doesn't contradict it

    Pronouncing words you have to think about spelling is not the same as automatically pronouncing every word you read

    Personnel, possessions, pronunciation and the French one (never heard it before) got me

    Pronunciation especially is a word that I'm shocked to learn the correct spelling of every time I see it, only to immediately forget it and continue spelling it as "pronounciation"
