I need some context here. Why does a Nashville suburb command these prices?

This is absolutely accurate. Indian hires can normally only do the exact and singular thing they were hired for. They are unable to handle deviation well and don't learn more breadth of the infrastructure they are working in. As well as trying to offload work onto others constantly.

Speaking of that! I am migrating to github from AzDo right now because our new VP wants "automation."

Bro I fuck up all the time and I am replaceable. By your reckoning 100% of IT should be offshored due to the guaranteed cost savings. I mentioned before that it can take a year for a new dev to understand the company infrastructure and proprietary technology. This is with full on the job...

If you take the guaranteed labor cost savings of the 80% discount Indian worker as a manager you get a good bullet point on your annual budget. Guaranteed. But this also conceals later issues because many problems created by these idiots are only identified far down the road when they are...

There is no level of policing for "excessive breaks" or anything like that in software development, legal, and so on. Your level of productivity is subject to many external factors far beyond your control. You cannot just move more X or create more Y in a quota like capacity. If I finished...

Lots of management time is spent managing costs. At least at my company. We spend a lot of time understanding how to run cheaper and leaner. Your perspective of policing people is one of the factory floor which just doesn't apply in the tech industry in general. If I tell you that you can cut...

Because its becoming clear now that AI is not a shortcut to make a retard an expert in something. But rather make someone already productive far more productive if they start leveraging it. The software engineer can now have an AI agent do your dumbass email job with a few prompts to a well...

High interest credit cards and such make big bux. Its why they are offered at all. The amount of defaults is priced in.

This is a problem with management though. They see the annual labor savings and that's it.

Most interesting part is the he confirms the void above the current opening of the Pyramid used as the main door is real. This void contains a long hallway and who knows what else. I saw it posted around in here earlier but didn't know if it was substantial at all. Guess it is. The guy says...

Still a good listen.

I was just thinking about the issues in your realm. Derrr I had the AI make terraform templates for me used it to deploy this application. Its propagated onto K8s and across our infrastructure now and it worked! You fuckin wut?

I forked this one and made it read only because the idea of an AI Agent that can actually execute DML in any environment terrifies me. https://github.com/datawiz168/mcp-snowflake-service

Big time. The database one I find useful but its marginally useful. Even when the agent can run its own queries and read the results it needs specific rules on what to do with it, and lots of datasets are wildly different so it becomes less useful. What HAS been useful is creating the...

He should have made the AI do it.

https://ghuntley.com/stdlib/ Good article about AI. I simp for Cursor hard as its really the best AI tool I have used. By far. That is if you're writing code directly. Microsoft for example needs their integrated AI to be at the level Cursor is now. Like you fire up a MS application or even...

I am as antisocial as it gets in my own opinion. But being at home for YEARS eventually fucks with your head man. At this point I wouldn't even say no to a hybrid thing.

And you pretty much need to have Remote due to your location at the moment? I know Remote work is much harder to find now and if you're not going for a Senior role you pretty much wont be offered it.

Were you fired for cause/performance or laid off for structural stuff?

If you apply on those sites even for a job that does exist at X company you can very easily be applying to some middle man Indian staffing agency that then applies for you. I got caught up in one of those applying for a job at Southwest Airlines one time. Never again.

Generally. Use Indeed and Linkedin to look up what jobs exist. Then only apply on the official website for that company. It's the only way to be sure.

Intelligently applied AI agents with a specific scope and ability to parse a narrow range of information to automatically perform various actions are going to be amazing when employed by non retards. They will be catastrophic when used by retards though. We are going to see some truly glorious...

I like DEI hires who think they are geniuses for using AI to write code for them. Even though the company is aggressively supporting the development of this.

It can very easily take a year or more to train up a developer on where stuff is in your proprietary infrastructure. Even more to know exactly how to fix certain critical issues with processes that run the business itself. This creates an incentive to not let people go even if they have...

YouTube on your phone or the TV sucks. Firefox + Ublock is fine though. However my god damn job makes me use Chrome and even using and old version of uBlock like bricks the browser now until you remove it.

I wish I got time to finish this nonsense. A teething child is messing up my game time.

Riot games remains in the best position to throw down a MMO. They have game lore stretching back to 2008. Along with wildly successful side projects that all worked to further expand upon the world. If they will succeed at their MMO remains to be seen. Development time for these games is...

You can watch all of old Fred Dibnah's vids on YouTube when he was on the BBC back in the 70s and 80s. Just a working class steeplejack who brought some light to an otherwise mundane profession. It's really fascinating stuff though. He was also an odd super hobbyist who rebuilt a traction engine...

I will say this. In my specific area of expertise I am very proficient at developing solutions. That area being data infrastructure. I was promoted at both of these jobs. In the primary one I have been promoted 4 times. Clearly I have been doing something right. I mentioned a bit ago but for...

The one I like more.

PRINTING that's what its doing boys!

I heard the Kanye song. It's a shitty song but the amount of butthurt it's causing makes me smile. Someone as big as Kanye having his work totally scrubbed from the mainstream and targeting anyone who dares listen to it is some proper Accelerationism. They've really pulled the levers here as...

These were from HEB. 4 racks of beef ribs were under $30 as they had a sale on them. Pork ribs still better overall though.

Yuh. They get a nice smoke ring real quick too.

Made smoked beef finger ribs for the firs time for Mother's day. They came out well and only take like 3 hours to smoke beginning to end. Will try that again.

Where did you find it?

He told me that was part of our special relationship!

Another Linux moment. I wanted to change the login screen and found that this setting is different than the wallpaper. I set the image I have as my wallpaper to the login screen but it didn't show up. Realized the login action is entirely its own separate service that runs on its own when you...
