I have no current interest in Bluesky but I’m very tempted to sign up just to be able to block this horrible individual.

If you start a ‘permanent role’ with them, having already secured a next role, then it is unethical. That means you know, going in, that this is not effectively ‘permanent’.

However. Having already started with them, if you find a better role, there is nothing unethical about taking that unless it contradicts an enforceable employment agreement. Maybe the role wasn’t what you thought, or someone else has valued you more highly (in remuneration, working conditions or other benefits). It goes both ways and incentivising retention is up to the business - it’s the flipside of lay-offs.

Heh. I’ve been blocked from a programming subreddit for being ‘too directly helpful’. Apparently the dozen to-and-fro conversations weren’t enough to show that OP needed more concrete direction.

Hilarious if that sees me banned from the platform at some point.

Java can only eat RAM up to a limit. So while it is memory hungry, it won’t be randomly “eating all your RAM”. Rather, more predictably it’ll eat a lot more of your RAM than you’d like.

The scary one is where you complete your code and give the test suite it’s first full run.

…and it passes…

[Cue scary dramatic music]

Damn. Must have missed a test case, there’s no way that was correct first time…

For many YouTube courses definitely.

And for some University professors too.

But it won’t be true in all cases.

No. Unless there’s a bad update… Every few years.

Probably a Thursday. Never could get the hang of Thursdays.

And relative to other recent offerings, will it just seem better?
