I've done this every time I've looked for a job. If it's the kind of company that would snoop on my browsing history and cause issues, it would just have motivated me to look harder 🙃

I'm speaking from my 20+ years of experience in tech, so this advice might not apply anywhere, but I've found the fastest way to keep increasing your salary is to switch jobs every couple of years. I usually got bored of a job in a couple of years anyway, so this also helped prevent burnout. Additionally, switching jobs at leisure like this meant I could negotiate new salaries harder at the new place and didn't need to try and change jobs during an economic downturn or a bad job market.

Oh, and I've always regretted staying on in a company too long once I get the itch so I'd recommend starting a hunt as soon as you think a change might be good instead of waiting till you start hating your job!

That is actually an excellent point! I'm imagining a Lydia from Skyrim who would actually comment on your actual quest progression without just resorting to canned responses.

While I'm sure there will be a lot of false starts with this tech and it will take a while to iron out the kinks, I've been waiting for something like this for a long time. This will probably be similar to the switch from small, limited world maps in games to expansive open-worlds. It's going to be a massive boost to immersion and will probably lead to some hilarious bugs/unexpected behaviours. Can't wait!

This is just the kind of nonsense I come to Lemmy for while drinking my first cup of coffee * chef's kiss *

Why does the Dogbird god look sad?

If he was walking just a bit faster, he'd be in tune with Staying Alive

It's a reference to this classic

Honestly, this is part of a broader trend of enshittification sweeping the Internet these days. It's not just spez, it's any SV bro from the current crop of technology companies. I think this is a lesson worth remembering for all of us who took the freedom and magic of the Internet for granted.
