hating on k8s is very in vogue currently. simpler systems like ECS exist and are really good too.

anybody bitching too hard about the tools today isn’t remembering 10 years ago correctly.

this is a conversation you usually have before the technical stuff. you’re making sure your ideal pay and their band is in sync.

being pushy early in the process is terrible advice.

even then, a position may not be for a certain level so they’re can be a fairly wide band of pay depending on how the interview goes.

i think most folks vastly overthink it. just ask for the money you want to make. either it’s in the ballpark or it’s not. all this “don’t say a number first” stuff is bullshit imo.

you definitely do want to know if your desired pay matches their range though. that’s very important.

i’m playing via geforce now, and was an early access purchase—i was a huge dos 1/2, bg 1/2?fan. i love crpgs is general. i think the thing to keep in mind is that this is a somewhat niche style of rpg.

bg3 is as close to a perfect crpg as i’ve played. the story is great, the the companions are interesting, the options are nearly endless. it’s just everything you’d want.

that said, this isn’t skyrim, and you don’t get your hand held with the quest tracker. there’s quite a bit going on with quests as well as all the mechanics.

if you don’t have experience with games in this rpg genre and you don’t enjoy reading a wiki from time to time, you might want to watch some youtube first.

overall the game is a masterpiece, but it doesn’t have as broad of an appeal as some other rpgs. if you’re already a crpg fan, then it’s basically christmas and you’ve been very good this year.

neat, thanks!

i am really looking forward to this after watching some youtube footage.

i said “email” but what i meant was “show me a complicated example”. i don’t disagree with anything you said.

so, where’s the email address regex? that’s where this lives or dies. there is no reason to use this for extremely simple happy-path regexes.

i’m having a tough time understanding who this is for. a beginner might think this is great, but they’re shooting themselves in the foot by adding an additional layer of abstraction rather than reading something to learn the basics.
