If you could see analytics you would see I am the worst player at this game. But it is cool - can you actually plug in a keyboard to your laptop and use it? If so, what would HN recommend I get? As mentioned I suck at musical instruments but it could be a cool hobby to see if I can learn anything.
Haha - I don't collect any telemetry so your secret is safe. Yeah - if you've got a USB midi keyboard plugged in - the game should autodetect it and just work.
If you're looking for something portable that just works (and don't need a weighted action) - IK Multimedia makes a 37-key controller that is cheap and decent. It's frequently on sale for about $80-120 and probably could be had for cheaper secondhand.
I did not know going to a cafe alone was a strange thing to do. In fact it is a place I would consider it is completely common to go alone - whereas a restaurant is less common.

You may be lonely now, but you will have some different stages in life where friendship and companionship may appear.
First - when you start working you will join a team of some sorts. Just be yourself and and make sure you attend all the team nights out.
Second - traveling. You can join tour groups and visit some cool places. Don't do this to specifically find friends but you will be part of a group and have companionship for a brief period.
Thirdly - dating. You will be able to find a partner. This is most peoples main companion in life.
Fourthly - you could join a non-work team where you can have social interactions. I can't give too much advice on this one because I am not on a team like this.
Some other comments suggest immediately firing.. but a junior engineer needs to be mentored. It should be explained to them clearly that they need to understand the changes they have made. They should also be pointed towards the coding standards and SDLC documentation. If they refuse to change their ways, then firing makes sense.
