With just one simple Zig zag movement

It lets you C more clearly

I would never want to work at a place where I have to talk like this unironically. It’s ridiculous.

If you are competent, you show it directly. No need to hide behind bullshit buzzwords.

Well, at least that’s my reverse filter for companies.

My current team leader interviewed me in a band shirt and we deep dived into realistic brainstorming for how I would approach real problems and we instantly vibed.

I immediately knew that’s a good place.

That is just needlessly mean. Done that once to some rando, even worse. I dumped a rant on them. They deleted the post and their account. I felt bad. Don’t be like me.

Is this the new official flag of the USA?

Yeah, I’m also more on the time blindness overcompensation club.

If I have no time fixed, minutes stretch into hours.

If I have some fixed time scheduled, I live by the clock and will rather be way too early than a little to late.

I have to trick my non ADHD wife to be on time, because if there’s a schedule, I’m the master time keeper.

Being late is just way more stressful and I hate rushing and the anxiety of being too late to the train or some doctor or whatever.

My coping mechanism is to have the anxiety way earlier than other people. Everyone believes I’m amazingly organized.

I only trust people who get stomach aches when faced with stressful ethical dilemmas.

we do cross platform stuff and I’m 99% of the time working on Linux, now I have to do some .NET core C# coding, was frustrated first with the language support on Linux - until I tried Rider. If I’ll have to do more C# going forward I’ll consider asking my employer to buy me a Rider license. The alternative would probably be me booting to Windows for that project (which I absolutely hate doing and only rarely have to)

But what you say IS a kind of technique that hyped for a while in the “speed reading community”, e.g. here is an implementation https://codepen.io/keithwyland/pen/yLyLNz

Or a post about it https://www.reddit.com/r/books/comments/ye6583/whatever_happened_to_spritz_rsvp_kindle_word/

I personally find it exhausting.

Yeah agreed, but that presupposes that the person watching can distinguish someone just babbling and someone who actually is someone qualified to comment on some topic. And I guess the latter kind is a drop in the ocean, because expertise is a limited resource but opinions and bullshit are cheap.

Yeah in the best case it’s just a promotional teaser. Obviously you cannot explain anything non trivial in that amount of time.

I wish for a general alternative to Duolingo similar to what it was before it was completely enshittified and turned ads and gems for money up to the maximum.

Before, like 5 years ago, I considered Duolingo subscription and I felt it provided good value. But what it has become now is just disgusting me.

There are worlds of a difference between a project like chromium or Android, which is basically dependent on Google, or random little open source projects run by some fellow nerds. The latter kind of open source is always perfectly fine IMHO, unless the people are confirmed assholes. And there is a wide middle ground containing a lot of the open source ecosystem.

I think there is a valid point in avoiding heavily corporate dominated open source, but this is just a few big problematic fish in a huge ocean.

Yeah same, I’ve tried many things but I managed to always justify to myself the purchase to make sure I’m not wasting too much money on stuff that will just use space and be unused. Still happens, but could be much much worse. Some things I come back from time to time, when the hyperfocus cycle brings me back to it, like musical instruments. Some things I only ever get the entry level stuff because I know I will move on way before reaching some stage where I need better equipment…

Yeah, useless time sink with lots of flashy distraction. The people who envisioned and built the internet surely did not anticipate it will evolve into THIS.

Ah so that is where this reference is from! I’m too uneducated / young, only played the GBA Generation games

Word. We should start a political party.

I love how someone can unironically not know what I’m talking about, even though I thought I’m a rare weirdo reading blogs via RSS feeds without actively using any social media except for reddit and lemmy

Reaction videos are the worst, in any form. I’m waiting for the day until there’s a reaction video loop referring to nothing than other reacts in circle and nobody knows what the actual underlying video was. The recursive reaction from hell.

That is what I thought looks like those speed reading techniques, but by force. So annoying. Not sure the “without loss of comprehension” is so true, all that I read says that speed reading is pseudoscience
