Even for native speakers! If I told my parents to get a new LCD they’d think I was telling them to buy drugs.

How would static typing help here?

Not the answer to your question, but my family had a tradition of passing the same name down for generations (think this is pretty common?). Every other person just ended up going by a nickname, but it was still sooo confusing. Always getting calls for someone else and having to explain that, yeah my name is “abc”, but I go by “xyz”. I felt a little guilty, but we did not pass that tradition on to our kids.

Are you looking for a new career as well? Or just a hobby? I sit in front of a computer all day and always thought being an electrician would be kind of neat. Decent money, get to work with your hands, and still some problem solving involved.

Edit: If you’re looking for more of a hobby, volunteer conservation work may also be something to look into. Something like trail work. I did a few stints in my younger years, and they were transformative experiences for me. The folks who do this type of work are super interesting and passionate in my experience, and it can rub off on you.

I agree with your point, but I’m not sure if that is a real quote from Socrates: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2010/05/01/misbehave/?amp=1

Interesting, looks like it’s been around in various forms since WWII

I feel personally attacked 🥲

That doesn’t sound right…

Same here, CTEs were a game changer for me when I learned about them

I’m surprised in-office work only increased 2% with all the anti-wfh sentiment I’m seeing lately

Next time I buy a house I’ll definitely pay more attention to the direction the “main” side faces. Our current place faces north (gets the least sun here in the northern hemisphere). The deck and concrete gets covered in moss/mold and in the winter it’s hard to find a spot to sit outside and soak up the sun.
