I’m a senior software engineer with a pretty uncommon skill set. Recruiters are the primary way that companies hire in my industry outside of networking contacts and I get contacted frequently. The job before my current one was through a recruiter.
I very much dislike Microsoft and LinkedIn in general, but not using it all is a huge handicap that isn’t worth taking on.
It’s how recruiters find me, so unfortunately I can’t. I almost never open it, though.
It’s speed, but it’s also flow and a continuous stream of thought. If all your editing is being done with muscle memory and minimal thought, you can continue thinking about the problem at hand rather than interrupting your thoughts process to fumble through some context menu to make a change.
No, the legacy of HJKL in modern tools comes from vi, which itself uses them because the original ADM-3A terminal that Bill Joy used when developing it used HJKL in lieu of arrow keys.
vi was hugely influential and its legacy can be found in many tools beloved by software engineers and other tech-minded folks (and vi’s successor, vim, is still widely used to this day).
Same story for Nebraska. Most of the population lives in Omaha or Lincoln which both lean blue, but Republicans gerrymandered the fuck out of our districts so we’re a red state. And it matters a lot more here since we’re one of two states that split our electoral college votes by congressional district. Like recently Lincoln overwhelmingly voted for a Democrat for our district in a special election, but Republicans naturally redrew the fucking maps to include counties that are fucking north of Omaha (like 120 miles away).

Ah yeah I thought you were saying '91 isn’t a 90’s kid, sorry.
I was born in '90. Some of my most cherished memories as a kid are playing 90’s video games: Donkey Kong Country 1-3, Super Mario World 1-2, and later, the revelation that was the N64. I didn’t get to watch a lot of TV, but when I did I loved 90’s cartoons like Dexter’s lab and Arthur (and Mobile Suit Gundam Wing whenever I could catch it, though that was exceptionally rare)
I vividly remember people stockpiling for Y2K and my mom turning on a radio to listen to the reports of 9/11.
I’m definitely a 90’s kid, and so is my brother who is a year younger than me ('91).
Paw Patrol is a very fascist show meant to teach fascist ideology to kids, just so you know: https://www.cnn.com/2017/12/22/health/thomas-tank-engine-paw-patrol-fascist-cartoon-strauss/index.html
This isn’t a criticism, it’s easy to for stuff like this to slip past parents’ radar. But I’d strongly recommend switching to a different show.
