I just want to second saying you’d Google it in the interview if it comes up. I got my first job because of this in software engineering a long time ago.
Interviewer: “If you didn’t know how to solve a technical problem, what’s the first thing you’d do?” Me: “Well… to be honest, I’d probably Google it…” Interviewer: “Oh yeah that’s actually exactly what we want!”
It did feel stupid to say at the time but it made sense after.
It is!!
Someone might assert that, “All toupees look fake. I’ve never seen a good toupee.” This is an example of neglecting the base rate because if I had seen good toupees, I wouldn’t know it.
Thanks, I love learning names for these things when they come up!
Not only that, but the insistence on seeing everything as zero-sum is fucking ridiculous.
“Well we didn’t even take down a massive corporation with an install base of hundreds of millions!! Hmph. Why even bother ☹️”
How old are these people? Are they for real? Lol
“Oh come on, it’s DIFFERENT. Thank you for your money.”
I just want to say, I don’t think you’re the village idiot. The fediverse is honestly pretty confusing right now and I would have expected what you used to work too.
This list is so comprehensive, I’ve been looking at it for quite a while and found lots of communities I hadn’t seen before. Thanks for posting it!
I loved the system in the first Bravely Default! It made battles go by so quickly and was so fun
