I write a fair amount of code still but a lot less than I did 5 years ago. Despite that, I still have tickets in my name which remain evidence of my productivity. I still own the features deployed and various projects. So yeah, its more subjective but if you don't even have tickets anymore like...

Hell yeah! Are you expecting more pay than your previous role or about the same?

Even in this thread we have quite the spread of IT disciplines with very minimal overlap. Of the active posters lately we have: 1. Systems architecture. 2. Data infrastructure (called Data Platform more often lately) 3. Embedded (hardware level programming). 4. Traditional IT (keeping...

I honestly didn't like it.

Are you willfully trying to conflate "project managers" that were useless 20 something cuties that happened to work at a tech company with people who were actually paid to write code and engineer products? Marketing never gets axed first don't be ridiculous. What generally happens is...

I get that gripe sure but I don't really care as this safe is to prevent kids from being too curious not to keep the FBI out.

You know what they say. A blowjob a day from the office cutie on staff keeps me working 12 hours a day 7 days a week!

Adding to that working at a startup is truly sink or swim compared to working at a big corp like General Motors. I was the 175th person hired at a company that has 3500 employees today and a billion in revenue. When I started we had just hit $30M in annual revenue. They sure did have a pingpong...

Okay but you're just being disingenuous. The tech industry isn't gone, it is totally robust and massive. American citizens are just being barred out of it in favor of foreigners. That is what is really happening. Not the automobile replacing the horse or anything like that. Big tech has laid off...

And to really rub it in the Indian hires only have 2 interviews. The ones that require me to do the first stage anyway.

Bootcamps were extremely successful at training people to do frontend engineering in whatever flavor the month frontend tech stack there is. Then paying them half price for the job. The fact that frontend tech stacks completely change every year is a major issue in itself. Also one of many...

Thinking about this a little today. I realized that the interview process today for Mid-Senior+ is the same as it was for entry level now. Entry level tech jobs had grueling interviews. The one I did for GM as an entry level developer was 4 interviews, 2 of which were white boarding. While it is...

Dude, an excel sheet analyst was never, ever a tech worker. A spreadsheet developer was never a thing. This person was never an engineer. There are plenty of these people in tech companies. But there are plenty of them in any company. Keep being angry for no reason I guess. Today your shield...

Now that is something certainly feel. I still love tech, I still love programming and tinkering, but everything else sucks. I have some family obligations I need to meet with kids and college and stuff. But in 7 years I will be done. I am currently 14 years deep in this career. Already...

I am glad more games are realizing how awesome blade deflection in Sekiro truly was.

Bro not to shit on you but the last time you discussed this the white collar workers you were around were all excel sheet jockeys. Yes there are hordes of them and AI + Outsourcing is getting rid of them even faster.

IDK why you're so full of hate bro. The more senior you are the less coding you do. That's what happens. At the junior level you are coding all the time in a more narrow set of problems than exists in your organization. You gradually move into having to deal with architecture decisions, which...

This isn't really accurate. The LRN2CODE stuff was legitimately funny but not because it was haranguing blue collars. It was all being done by journalists as stated. It was funny to me because it universally seemed to be targeted at the coding bootcamp crowd in execution. Whether or not you...

Just FYI Cursor indexes documents directly so this doesn't happen. https://cursor.com/docs/context/semantic-search

IMO the very best part about the Andromeda Strain is the implication that the whole thing was simply an alien database system and they were trying to share information with us. But had no comprehension of technology was we understand it. Just that they recognized our satellite was an artificial...

This looks like an absolutely batshit Nioh game. Which is saying something already.

It's people like you who ruined that policy btw.

I just paid $299 for a lot less cool looking Keyboard..

Went to Culver's finally after driving by it for some months. Not bad. I got the butterburger but its cold and I didn't want the custard.

I will add that the logical evolution of this concept is to measure this against sprint ticket time to resolution. This will be complete bullshit but it is coming.

As I said before. AI is fantastic when the problem you need to solve exists in a vacuum. The simpler the codebase and the less external dependencies the better. Once you start adding on the dozen external dependencies and loosely connected systems that define modern software development AI...

So here's how it works right now. Its a scoring algo. Based on AI usage related inputs. You can imagine it like this: 5x+2y+6z+9.1a=100 With 100 being "100% utilization of AI." For 2025 the above was a combination of the amount of messages you sent to AI, the amount of messages you send to...

Adding to that my team is building out a metrics suite on AI usage. It was primitive for 2025 in my opinion but 50% of your performance and thus raises, bonuses, or promotions was solely rated based on your AI use. The initial solution only scored you based on the chatgpt webapp. If you created...

I wish I was better at networking like that.

How did he have such luck getting another job?

I never ask for them but I've never received any beyond the boilerplate "other candidates that better fit our needs." I will also note that the interview process now is more grueling than it's ever been. 4 rounds was the max I would expect in most cases for the past decade. Now for a mid/senior...

Of course this is just my opinion but the job market seems to be quite dire right now. Yes I had two FTE jobs and yes I quit one on purpose. But I casually apply to jobs and respond to recruiters if something sounds interesting. In the past 7 months of this I've gotten to final round and...

I switched Frieren to dubs for a bit so I could not fully pay attention to it. All of the VAs are fine in English except for Frieren. She's awful!

My father was big into the idea of "heritage guns" for some reason. I think it has to do with his father some. As my grandfather gave several exquisite, art piece quality, long rifles to my uncle at some point in the 80s. My uncle sold them later as he had zero interest in guns in general. This...

This looks cool.

8bitdo is plug and play on Mac and most linux distros. Don't be a Windows cuck anymore.

Never played the original.

You can get it working on Linux. The problem I was trying to solve is that I wanted to use the same controller on my various devices. Xbox controller tolerates one and only one pairing.

I like the cpu/power/heat thing on the right. The dedicated buttons for steam, youtube, battlenet, epic, and the terminal are totally unnecessary. Especially on a mac, CMD+SPACE and you can pull up any app in like 2 seconds. It does look cool though.

I'll say it again. The problems AI is going to produce is the hunt for the correct output without understanding basic design principles. Especially in regards to systems working together. Just like the guy I have on PIP is doing. The problems he creates are small though and not tech debt that...
