Insomniac code gorilla. I help maintain lemmy-ui and, to a lesser extent, Lemmy’s backend.

Do you feel that you “lose” information from the classes you took earlier?

Yes, though it’s mostly because I don’t find myself using a lot of it in later classes. If you’re using a lot of knowledge from previous semesters in later semesters, I imagine it’s less of an issue.

I’m currently working on a computer science masters degree while working full time. I’ve been taking one or two classes a semester each fall and spring for the past few years. I’m largely able to do it because I work a cushy WFH computer toucher job that also does tuition reimbursement, am going to a state university not far from me, and have all my classes scheduled at night. Even then, some semesters I got so overwhelmed that I needed to withdraw from some classes and take them again when I’m not drowning in stress.

I would only recommend it if you are in a stable place both schedule-wise and financially.

Thank you! The paper is more about the data visualization side of things, so I don’t think the institution being lib is a big issue.

My thing is always accessibility, I do user facing client development and I’m a constant pain in the ass when design gives us some unreasonably inaccessible stuff

This brings back memories of an abomination of a design I had to implement that had 3 scrollable regions whose edges were really close to eachother. None of the regions had scroll bars either. Fortunately, the project got cancelled before it could see the light of day.

I can see I’m not the only one who celebrates 9/11 with a groupchat meme spam competiton. Here’s a spicy one.

Sometimes I think Lemmy’s existing UI is a hot mess and feel bad about my inability to keep up with fixing all the issues. Hearing how much of a dumpster fire Reddit has become makes me feel much better about myself.

Yeah. For context, that question and the ones leading up to it were about how persuasive I found a rethuglican attack ad against KKKamala regarding her tenure as the border czar and letting “10 million ‘illegals’” across the border.
