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.

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.
