Made even more annoying when there is no way to actually talk to a human being, outside of calling some 1-800 number. I'm looking at you FedEx in Finland.

Every day I yearn more and more for this. To go back in time where this was the norm. I mean sure, throw in some backend (sometimes). But other than that awesome!

I'd say that you can have a direct impact on the performance and the amount of resources that your server has, not so with the kind of devices your users have. So myself I tend to favour doing things more on the backend.
It's very much a balancing thing though.

Indeed, quite a bit smaller than the game dev community. But we're out there. Like.. dozens of us!

Speaking of doom scrolling, even if you setup filters and words to be muted, quite often it's just an image from somewhere which contains exactly that which you've been trying to avoid. Frustrating.

This is very important to remember. Senior developers google all the time. Sometimes the simplest of things. So it's important to learn how to google well. What keywords to use, what sites typically have good answers. And then also how to evaluate those answers vs. copy-pasting solutions.

A bit easier when there's just one app. No confusion at all 😂

Same here except it's been closer to eight years. But I don't mind. Trying to at least be more active here... So that will do for now

I've just found the best hack. Swear in your search request. It's a great way to bypass the AI summary and make your search history look like you're chronically pissed off at everything!

Still need to give it a try, just need to find some time for it. Was thinking that could do it for a real project though to fully understand it. Any pain points or negatives that you've noticed?
