    Lols. Yea i actually hate that. No i gave been begging my org to just treat interns differently and actually help them rather than let them sink or swim. Most of the interns we get are expected to know all the ins and outs, but they are just kids yet basically. So i think hiring managers honestly should lower the bar and then the org needs to properly train and teach them to get em up to speed. Maybe it takes six months but it’s about time we start investing in our people.

    1. college doesn’t teach much.
    2. college is still useful tho. It does require some determination and persistence to get through, or at least tolerance for dealing with. “This is the way to learn” junk.
    3. most actually useful knowledge is gained on the job
    4. I think most people fresh out of high school aren’t ready for a real job, but college grads are barely ready too to be honest. Hyper generalized and i bet most people reading this are actually very qualified, that said I’ve met many college grads interning with us who just don’t have the fortitude to do it just yet, hopefully by their second job they’ve grown accustomed to the dumb way of life we all call work.















  • I have been building a Qt/KDE app in rust using that CXX-QT binding. It’s pretty good, but definitely more of a headache to work through the binding than just directly with C++. That being said, I don’t feel like I’m about to shoot myself in the foot with rust. Rust just protects and advises the best paths forward. Once KDAB solidifies the binding and perhaps makes it easy for others to create their own extra bindings, (which they don’t want to maintain every class in QT so this is necessary) it’ll be amazing.
