💻 “Hard Skills” like coding can be learned, but what makes you stand out as a professional is your “Soft Skills.”

Focus on:
✅ Not being a piece of shit
✅ Basic Empathy
✅ Hygiene
✅ Doing your job
✅ Talk Less About Yourself

PLEASE, if you’re on any platform where this guy is saying shit, just report him and block him and do not engage. he is seriously mentally ill and has fixated and nothing anyone says to him will stop him from doing this.

there is a man who frequently hate-tweets about me & seems to have developed a deeply unhealthy parasocial relationship to me & ignoring him doesn’t seem to stop this. nothing in life really prepares people for this kind of shit, does it?

ive posted some light stuff about single pair ethernet on a few platforms now & the response is disappointing. seriously, can nobody think of use cases for copper ethernet where you get gigabit speeds but with 75% fewer wires? c’mon i thought there were engineers out there 😑

shitty buggy software that could wreck yr PC, e.g. limewire, trained a whole generation of tech-savvy millennials as we were growing up. goatse taught us to inspect URLs before we knew a lick of security. Gen Z / every1 who doesn’t know what that last thing is: for the love of god do not google it
