A previous coworker taught me to do this :finger-guns:
I use VSCode with the GitHub pull requests extension now, and it's such a better experience than attempting to review directly on github.com. My reviews are not just quicker but also higher quality since I can easily step through code changes directly in the IDE. Great advice.
I can relate to this all too much. All my non-tech friends are struggling to get into tech someway, and my programmer friends sit comfortably in their premium mediocre. Interestingly enough, my non-tech friends seem to be the ambitious ones wanting to climb above that level. They are the ones who talk about reform and quasi communist ideas, while the developers sit quietly and comfortably at their computers, not giving class any thought. I am somewhere in between right now, piled with student debt wanting to get out, but wanting to spend those 3 weeks in Europe too.
