Going from gaming, streaming, and using discord at the same time no problem in college, to having my skype call drop 1617372773 times with Gracen, and having my games rubber band til i die really shows me how spoiled I was with LSU's internet

@xtofl @soylentgraham @ederstoico @rick_west8 I learned that synchronous tutoring provided the most benefit. A quick 1 on 1 skype/hangouts call and a walkthrough why someone uses a given approach, what are the upsides of alternate solutions, or brainstorm to quickly unblock someone stuck on a complex problem

@WisdomToothDog @72stroopwafels Yes! That happened to me on my first few Skype lessons with a tutor (after a few months of hard study to get some basics down). I'd just go blank! Or be so focused on the few earlier words I recognized that I'd miss the rest of the sentence... So stressful!

@Skype Fantastic, thank you - had some hardware issues on a borrowed laptop (I’m not very good at tech!) but I just switched over to the app on my phone and it worked wonderfully with great video/audio quality and no glitches 👌🏼

Just had a phone call with a client via zoom on my home Uber pc. Because of security restrictions he had to use Skype for business . Much worse audio and terrible picture quality on the same setup . Skype for business is awful (at least for external folk)

@theboydigital .... But then @Microsoft acquired @Skype and the product quality went down the toilet, leaving a massive need in the market for @zoom_us I reckon the same could happen with @LinkedIn well for those that don't need recruiters and outsource dev studios spamming you.

I absolutely dislike Skype interviews. Phone too. Would rather they be in my living room with me slouched on the ole couch with beer in hand, puffing a Marlboro light 100. And interviewer in straight back, not so comfy chair "Perspiration" rolling down his cheeks. Hoo rah
