I understand the appeal of naming variables and modules based on obscure references or inside jokes. It’s fun and can enhance a sense of belonging for the current team. However, I implore you, think of the poor developer trying to navigate through that tangle a decade later. 😅

It's bananas that Apple has us buying a new thousand dollar phone every few years. I got my old phone in September 2021. I was trying to hold onto it until I paid it off but it became unusable. Literally would not charge. I went into the AT&T store and they looked at me like I brought in the phone Michael Douglas used in Wall Street

I just had the most embarrassing interview 🥴 They told me it was just a get-to-know-you interview, so you can imagine the shock on my face when the head of the IT department showed up and started asking me technical questions out of the blue. Literally just bombarding me with questions like what is the difference between an inner-join and a left-join, what is a static method in PHP, etc. I couldn't answer half the stuff he asked and I felt so incredibly embarrassed and stupid that I just wanted to melt through the chair and disappear into thin air. Good lord, it was painful. I understand that he purposefully asked me questions to see my level of competence so he wouldn't have to bother with me for another round of interviews, but it would have been nice to be notified that it was gonna be a tech interview. As I was leaving, the whole time, there was this voice telling me 'see, you can't do this, you don't know anything, you're just pretending to be a coder'... I know I'm not the only one who's been in a situation like this but I need to vent a little 😭
