Staring at the zoom meeting profile pics where half of them are blank and the other half are free hk, pewdiepie, epic pepe memes, china bad, winnie the pooh, etc
I would but I'm not trying to get the edgy band kid label :/
Wait are band kids edgy now? Does edgy even mean what I think it means anymore? You know what, nevermind, I don't need to know this.
The youtube alt right pipeline usually hit the band kids and so it was always them watching pewdiepie and blasting reddit memes and the ussr anthem
I gotcha. Youtube didn't even exist til I was halfway through hs so I guess it's a whole different world now.
Yeah, the Engineering trades are filled with reactionaries. They tend to be lolbertarian because it feeds into that sort of meritocratic brainworms.
I know about the uighur thing still being sold as true, but the hk protests happened a year ago, i thought they would have died down . But also propaganda plays a role so maybe it'll continue to plague the western perspective for the coming decades who knows really
What makes you think the coders in your meetings will have better politics?
At least once they get past college they stop thinking memes are a personality, usually
when you get a job at least they have to chill with that stuff during work just because memes are unprofessional or whatever.
I wish this were true, but I literally have to post work-related memes to the company LinkedIn page as part of my job...
uggggh. yes. workmemes are fun. boosting corporate morale is fun. good job, worker, have a non-redeemable fun ticket!
Are you just starting to learn? I've been giving it more thought lately but my past experiences trying to learn were very frustrating and not very fruitful.
The learning curve is an absolute cliff, but once you get past it, it can be smooth sailing. For me, once I really understood inheritance and object oriented programming, everything else sort of clicked into place and I was able to pick things up fairly easily (in terms of fundamentals, there's still a lot I don't understand).
It's truly a bottomless pit. The more you learn, the more you get an idea of just how little you actually know. This can be quite daunting, but really it's fine.
I had some coding classes in high school and didn't understand a thing for like a year. Then somehow it all make sense and I was able to study it further. I would've never put in that effort if the school didn't force me
So far C and C# but I plan on also learning C++ and Python
