I much prefer stack exchange - last I looked into discourse it didn't seem as "busy" |
| 01:14 |
|
pdurbin |
kzisme: congrats! |

pdurbin: Fully remote :) haven't received my machine yet though - I'm _really_ excited |
| 01:21 |
|
pdurbin |
Cool. What languages will you be using? |
| 01:23 |
|
kzisme |
pdurbin: C# and some web stuff as far as I know now - it's pretty much the same sort of work as before, remote, working on an actual team, and working on client and internal projects |
| 01:24 |
|
pdurbin |
Ah, I didn't realize you were remote before. |
| 01:25 |
|
kzisme |
Nope I wasn't! |
| 01:25 |
|
kzisme |
I (wish) it was |

I asked many times - the 55 minute commute made me fairly mad, and then moving us back to the old location for no reason |

7 day work work schedule, lack of structure, and a list of other things is why I resigned |

pdurbin |
Well, no job is forever. One time I left a job because they wanted to make me the boss. :) |

pdurbin: It felt particularly odd leaving since I was the last full time programmer - there were only contractors left |
| 02:15 |
|
pdurbin |
Gotcha. |

kzisme: so you like how "busy" Stack Exchange looks compared to Discourse? It's meant to be dense. Stack Overflow was designed for developers. I guess Discourse is designed for people who want to talk about anything (bikes, cooking, etc.). |

pdurbin: Busy as in used by more people - after reading about the creators of SE - I found that they were working on discourse. I looked around and it didn't seem as popular for whatever reason. |
| 02:21 |
|
pdurbin |
Oh. Well, every developer knows about Stack Overflow. Discourse is an alternative to phpBB or whatever old-school forum software. |
| 02:22 |
|
pdurbin |
Because Discourse is open source, you have full control over your data, which is what my post above was about. |
| 02:27 |

kzisme |
Gotcha - I just thought you meant why one vs the other |

ugh, firefox has giant border widths in form fields for some reason.. but if I set the border width, the select fields become fugly (in chromium too) |
