Tips are for going beyond what is expected of your job. You did more than the bare minimum, and beyond what you were paid for.

The door dash driver that dropped my unwrapped utensils on the ground next to my order, and placed the bag next to my door so I'd smack it when I went outside to grab it - he does not get a tip.

The Uber eats lady that drove past my front door and made me meet her a 1/4 mile down the road - she doesn't get a tip either.

If your job is to sit behind the counter, and take or make my order, I'm sorry there isn't much opportunity for you to go above and beyond. But that's not my problem

Oh absolutely. It's good to have at least one beer you can always come back to. For me that's been the Dogfish Head Sea Quench Ale

Love Cascade. Haven't been there, but I buy their beer out here in NJ.

I got started on sours because of them

It's true. Especially on the east coast.

I was down in Austin not long ago. Went to Jester King. Wow, cool brewery, and really good sours

[–] Marcbmann 1 points 1 year ago

It's true. But I also hate the flavored sours. Where they're literally adding flavoring to beer.

I'm currently enjoying Axe & Arrow. Honestly great with actual fruit.

Coming from C++ and Java over to Python was challenging. The IDE I used at the time also did not like when I used tabs instead of spaces, which drove me up a wall.

I will say that for beginners where python is their first language, it does a good job at reinforcing good practices for writing legible code.

My company has new hires take it after getting the job as a fun way to show other people your style of working/learning/communicating.

I think that's a better use

Sour beers are where it's at

These guys tried to get a previous employer of mine to advertise with them. It works great if your entire audience is tech bros. Ours was not.

30 years old. US. I can and do drive a stick shift.

Really hard coming from a family with only automatic cars. Very few people have stick cars, and even fewer are willing to teach you in their own car.

Can't even rent a stick shift to practice on. Your best bet is to sign up with a driving school that offers stock shift lessons, which I almost did.

Instead, a buddy of mine was kind enough to let me practice for 2 hours with him in a beater he had. Then I went and picked up my brand new WRX. Stalled like 12 times on the way home. But I figured it out!!

Idk, I leverage Slack huddles regularly and have absolutely no issues with multiple people hanging out and having casual conversations while working. We do these spontaneously throughout the day.

How old are your coworkers generally? My company is mostly on the younger side of things. We grew up with team speak, steam voice chat, and now are often in discord. This is not unfamiliar territory and has always worked well outside of the office.
