Sometimes I call my colleagues Italians 🤌

(None of them are from Italy, but that pasta!)

Sounds illegal.

Sounds like the protocol needs an upgrade if people are doing funny stuff like that. No?

Isn’t that true, all other things being equal?

Look for other advice for repairing them, but making your couch feet bigger and softer with tennis balls or felt should prevent it from worsening.

Hey, if it consoles you, three quarters of our pure back-end C# developers are as you describe, too.

All the full-stack devs I’ve worked with so far were just back-end developers who write terrible front-end code.

I’ll be honest I find it hard to understand for sports as well.

I’ve got a feeling we’ll see Bush v. Gore style recount shenanigans or worse. Trumpist “stop the steal” people have begun to infiltrate the election process, right?

Vue and React are popular alternatives.

Lit is a less popular alternative that’s 100% compatible with native WebComponents, and I’ve been interested in it ever since I first heard of it.

The old version, AngularJS, died. The newer Angular lives on, and I heard it’s a much better experience.

I think the profanity filter used to be non-optional on iOS’s autocorrect.

Windows. Can’t be arsed to deal with Linux.

I’ve tried it. There were three issues:

1. Mouse movement was pretty choppy. Not exactly a dealbreaker, but it took a little extra effort to aim at buttons.
2. There wasn’t an easy way to do keyboard shortcuts. I googled the issue and people were suggesting to change the system keyboard to one that includes extra keys like Windows, Ctrl, etc. I really didn’t want to deal with that.
3. The interface was pretty hard to navigate. In the absence of extra keyboard keys, I looked into creating a custom script in the app to maybe do things like Alt+tab a different way, and I never found it. Both apps said it had to be configured on the other device.

Yeah I wish they were still adding new features and stuff. But I haven’t found a better alternative yet, so I guess that’s what we have.

Unified Remote. It’s a little janky, but it does you to turn your phone into a trackpad and/or keyboard for your phone. It works with swipe typing, and allows you to use keyboard shortcuts such as Alt+Tab or Win+Shift+Arrow.

Truly the best way I’ve found of using my PC from my couch.

Låmp

Eh, bicycle helmet I guess?

Maybe do robotics (likely in a simplified way; surely “robots for dummies” is a thing?) and have them make their robots compete in some sort of competition at the end of the year.

I’m not even a competitive person at all, but when our school had us compete on Popsicle stick bridges, I had a ton of fun. Creative projects with a clear, real-world benchmark at the end are really fun.
