Code In My Mind vs Code I Write

Content Robert Sweeney 3rd CEO at Facet - Technical recruiting as a service Follow 2d 4 One day at Netflix my manager dropped into my office and said, "You're getting a raise today!" I had only been at Netflix for a few months so I wasn't expecting a raise any time soon. "Cool! But why?" I asked. His response is an example of why I loved working at Netflix. "We just hired a new Senior Software Engineer on our team and he negotiated a higher salary than what we're paying you. So we are increasing your salary to match." If you have to pay more to hire new employees that means the market has gone up and your current employees need a raise to match. Don't punish loyal employees for sticking with you by allowing their compensation to fall behind the market.

Ah yes, the classic "just use confidence" advice that falls apart when facing Vim. The top panel shows VS Code, React, and Node.js giving that smooth reassurance like they're the cool kids at school. Meanwhile, the bottom panel reveals the horrifying reality of a developer trying to exit Vim for the first time. No amount of confidence prepares you for that moment when you realize :q! might as well be ancient hieroglyphics. The "Are you sure?" is just Vim's way of saying "You sweet summer child, you have no power here."

The universal law of parental needs: they're inversely proportional to your gaming availability. You ask if help is needed, they say no, and the millisecond you commit to a ranked match that you can't pause, suddenly they're performing an interpretive dance of urgent requests. It's like they have a sixth sense for detecting the exact moment your ELO rating is on the line. The worst part? This cosmic joke transcends gaming—it applies to critical git pushes, database migrations, and that moment when you finally understand a complex algorithm. The universe simply cannot allow uninterrupted focus.

So I tested him by making the animation spinner spin much faster. He went to my boss to praise me how much faster the web app was. (spin.js is what i was using) Reply Give Award Share Report Save

The ultimate recursive procrastination loop! This starterpack brutally exposes the indie game dev lifecycle with surgical precision. Instead of actually coding their game, devs spend countless hours making elaborate docs about worldbuilding, obsessing over engine choices, refreshing wishlists for dopamine hits, and watching YouTube tutorials they'll never implement. The "just write a book guy" with 50+ Google Docs but zero engine experience is painfully accurate. And that "thinking about a name for 2 months" hit way too close to home. Meanwhile, the "backseat dev" who thinks every problem is solved with "just add a shader" or "just add multiplayer" exists in every Discord server known to mankind. The imposter syndrome is real—nobody understands how much work goes into making a game until they've stared blankly at their code at 3AM wondering why their character controller is suddenly launching their protagonist into the stratosphere. And of course, there's always that one dev who buys every asset pack but never ships anything. The irony? Creating this starterpack was itself a form of procrastination. Meta-procrastination at its finest!
