What are the craziest misconceptions you’ve heard about programming from people not familiar with it?
That they have any business telling me how complicated something is or how long something should take for me to implement.

I’ve just turned 40. What advice would you older lemmy users give me?

43 is pretty young to be putting your dick in the grave. I think you're doing something wrong there.

Otherwise I'm not even getting out the blender.
Whatever you do, don't give them straws.

Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny?
Yes. I left after the protests began and realized most of the posts were just a competition of who could make the wittiest or funniest comments regardless of the subject. I think the killing of Bacon Reader put the last nail in the coffin for me on mobile as well.

What are your niche hobbies you’d like to share with other people?
Making custom home automations with Home Assistant. Sure, a lot of it is unnecessary but it sure is a lot of fun.

I'm not sure what you mean by infinite free fusion power.

Do you prefer contacts or glasses? Why?
I used to prefer contacts over glasses unless I was water skiing. After I got LASIK, I prefer neither.

So you basically stick to 30 minute meals or under and there's nothing wrong with that since they do typically take less skill to prepare. There are plenty of recipes that take 2 hours or longer to make.

Kind of like the no wake zone for boats. You don't even have to change the name.

Lemmy seemed to eat my last reply so here I go again. I think so far I'm liking the fan automation I set up where my ceiling fans and can turn on when my house gets to a certain temperature range before the AC turns on. My next project is to automate my garage doors with some Shelly devices and reed switches. My girlfriend also got into it and set up some auto-watering system for some plants while were away but it still needs some work before we trust it.

What operating system do you use on your main computer?
Windows 10. I primarily use it for gaming and development. I also have a Linux box for home automation with Home Assistant so I guess you could argue I use that the most passively.

Do you tip for takeout? (How much?)
Reply in thread
I went to a Sonic recently because I was constipated and sure enough, they were asking for tips at the checkout screen. Same thing at a liquor store I went to.
