Thanks for the insight. Damn, it’s a real weight to work on some shit you just don’t care for. That is brutal, sorry. For me, instead of having a job I don’t like, I’m just unemployed. Naturally some part of me wishes I just had anything.

The programming I do is mostly lower level. Microcontrollers and some FPGA stuff. As it happens I got pretty familiar with Eclipse 🙃. I used it first when working with AVR microcontrollers, and the MSP430 and STM32 platforms both have their own IDEs based on Eclipse (CCS and STM32Cube). Vendor provided embedded IDEs and minimalism do not go together.

In principle I probably already knew that, and just couldnt put it in practicd. naive of me

Yeah Ive got to stay level headed. It’s not totally rational but right now it feels like I passed up the best chance I’ll ever get at stability.

I think my worst attribute is just not talking to anyone. Every time I’m in a tough spot i just try to reason through by myself, and it usually works out.

I love the wording

If you HAD to choose between a nice sandwich and getting mauled by a wolverine, which would you choose?

If you had a bad feeling about it before you even started there then there’s a 99% chance that you were going to hate it if you took the job.

That’s exactly what I was feeling. There’s a chance I wouldn’t hate it because I never had a job exactly like it, but I can’t even look forward to it. (I’m obfuscating details here) I have experience in both hardware and software/firmware domains, but my interest is mostly on the hardware side and this job is almost pure software. I can do it, but

I will do it. I will trust myself and keep going.

That’s right. I had considered this angle but just couldn’t pull the trigger on it. Next time absolutely.

Trump is speaking mandarin and Harris is speaking cantonese.

TRUMP: Maybe I should just reflect, and not speak more. I’ve been abandoned, do I deserve that? If I really was a bad shepherd, can I try again? Can I hold you again?

HARRIS: When I look back, walking with you, I’ve never been happy.

TRUMP: Too much hate, it’s no use. To bring up the past only torments us.

HARRIS: Looking ahead, if I’m with you, I don’t think there will be much happiness either.

TRUMP: I hurt you, and caused you pain.

i didnt see anything yet but the gist of it is like this, right

It’s just reddit again over there, oh man.
