    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    "You need to move your applications to be scalable and durable! The cloud is the answer" actually means "You need to move your applications into our software ecosystem, and we're pretending the hardware we use in our data centers is magical and different than yours and floats up in the sky!" So...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Sigh. Instead of using metrics to see if a paid product/service is worthwhile and is actually making people more productive, they want to know who isn't a good little boy and making use of the thing the company so graciously paid for. Same as it ever was. Its just a non-stop cycle of...

    Path of Exile

    So I recently started using Brave as my default browser instead of Chrome. By default your most visited list is the icons of whatever websites you visit most often. Last night a woman I've been dating needed to check her email and her phone was dead so I let her use my computer. She came out of...

    "new and shiny" often overrules "cost effective" when it comes to technology and how companies decide what technology to utilize. Lots of money gets thrown around and wasted regarding tech.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I can understand all that for sure. There is a bigger behemoth lurking in the depths of tech for us though. 5 years from now how much damage will AI "vibe coding" have done to the majority of companies and what kind of mess would you be walking into elsewhere? This company at least seems to be...

    I'm gonna try doing a few test runs with that sort of setup from the start to see what it feels like. Thats probably a day 2-5 setup depending on play time. The less you play the cheaper that stuff will be in that time frame.

    Path of Exile

    Its already widely being used as a strike skill by Accuracy stackers, both in Phrecia 2.0 and Keepers (Thanks Jungroan). Its almost definitely going to get the combined hit portion nerfed. That PoB is using Sione's and you can use ancestral call support early if 1 extra target feels "bad", its...

    Is he going to post his Hugo Boss collection again?

    Path of Exile

    This is one of the stronger, cheap early game PoBs I've put together, and it should feel good with melee splash + bleed pops. I think Viper Strike of the Mamba is gonna shine a light on some of these other underused "combined hit" skills now that the cat is out of the bag...

    I rewatch that movie every couple of years. It's exactly the type of movie you'd expect it to be, but it's well done.

    Path of Exile

    I really like these new Breach unique rings they added, the ones that give aura effect per %increased damage of the same type. They let you reach some really nice damage/defense numbers for much cheaper than otherwise. This wouldn't be "cheap" but none of this stuff is particularly meta and...

    Path of Exile

    That's basically my day 2 character, I hit 90 and just stopped, wasn't interested in Phrecia after all. Intimidating Cry is for the movement speed in campaign. But I basically never actually used it. Can't put crafted affixes on full affix items. Lots of things I hadn't actually put into the...

    Path of Exile

    I didn't really have any issues dual wielding the entire time as ele hit for the event. Didnt really struggle with anything until Eater/Exarch voidstones. Even red maps were mostly fine because as you said the bottom side of the tree is pretty silly for dual wield (and Aristocrat is silly for...
