A 12 hour "take home code exam" is pretty insulting. I've never encountered something this wild. At most I've had to do a multi problem leetcode. Even in person whiteboarding exams were way shorter. I never actually applied to this role that I remember. Unless I just clicked an easy apply...

It was not an Indian. Confirmed one of their recruiters, a 20 something white girl. Like most of them seem to be. She contacted me on Linkedin first.

Dude look at this shit lol. Their zip file had 5 datasets in it. Ranging from 20k-300k records or so. As I do all of the above in my day job: 1. This is obviously highly specific to the data in question. Is it billing related? Is it an event/real time kind of thing? Yes you can make an...

I was contacted by a recruiter for a company called Pushnami for a Senior DE position. I said sure I am interested, bitch sends me a code test via email. Its a zip file. This is easily like 12+ hours of work (with AI helping you) what the fuck? Its 5 parts, each part has 3-5 sections of 7-10...

I am just waiting for 5 years from now. When as opposed to just paying Microsoft a fee to use Excel and the Office Suite, you have to pay Microsoft for Excel and Claude Excel Code because all of your excel type analysts will have become dependent on it. AI in Excel is an extremely clear cut...

Well so far the best idea we have and are paying people to assist in developing is an Agentforce Quote assistant that is so far much worse than the previous Quote assistant which was just a generic chatbot that asked you various questions about the customer, what they wanted, and parameters...

We are balls deep in implementing Agentforce thanks to our C-Suite of former Salesforce executives. Agentforce is completely half-baked. Even in the context of AI tools. It's really bad and 3/4 of the integration features it has legitimately don't work. We hired Salesforce Pro Services to...

Having cut my tendon before. A straight cut on the inside of your finger doesn't really bleed very much. The blood in your hands runs along the sides, so if you cut like between your fingers it will bleed profusely. But a deep tendon cut bled barely a drop. My hand swelled like a motherfucker...

I'll add that even in Classic WOW one of my very favorite dungeons was Sunken Temple. But if you were Horde it was in the ass end of nowhere and nobody was really willing to go out there unless they absolutely had to. The items were just a bit behind LBRS and Scholo so that didn't help either...

Having loot tables spread across levels of [named] mobs is an interesting idea. But you then make the loot tables ginormous and remove the cool factor of where X item is from. At that point it might just be better to have stuff drop crafting mats and rely on player agency to make items. Lore...

Did you even play during Kunark? I would bet both my balls the vast majority of players, all who made it to max level, didn't set foot in 2/3 of the Kunark dungeons. They went to Seb or Karnor's and only those two. You had to go with guildies to far off spots. Even Chardok was low traffic.

Look, I loved Sebilis and Guk as much as anyone. There is a special place in my heart for truly massive amazing dungeons like that. Black Rock Depths is another I love a lot. Am I going to go into Neo-Guk and sit on a waitlist so I can sit in a camp and grind mobs? I am absolutely not doing...

Sorry, I can't hear you over the year 1 and year 2 tax revenue windfall. -Some Dutch bureaucrat faggot

If you use Github or anything other than a repo hosted on your own metal what prevents Microsoft from just cloning the backend and stealing your code? Oh right, nothing. Extraordinarily hard to prove that too.

Copilot is by far the worst of them. We have been using both Copilot and Cursor for a year or so. The entire engineering org favors Cursor by over 60%. Myself included. I hear Claude Code is "better" but its terminal centric design is objectively worse than Cursor's IDE based design. At least...

Honestly the same reason I didn't vibe with Binding of Isaac. Despite liking everything else about it.

It's on hianime. That's where I watched the first episode.

Above my level. We were within costs though as I didn't hear too much bitching about that. Our critical TTP was to begin the cutover at like 10 months in and hypercare the remaining and we did fall into that. However some of the critical financial functions we needed are still not in place so it...

Some AI success for me at work this last week. These could have been done without AI but it would have taken a long ass time and not something I could have just done as a side project in a few spare hours. As my team is small these have been some thorns in my side for awhile that I knocked out...

I'll expand on this some in that it also heavily applies to softer SAAS services. Not just AWS and the like. My company used a SAAS product called Zuora for many years. Once we changed leadership they wanted that gone. As our C-Suite all originated from Salesforce executive leadership guess...

My company is relatively intelligent about this. Most of our customers exist in our on prem data centers. Our whales are on AWS simply because their needs are so far outside the parameters of the average customer.

To add to all of that companies have been selling off their metal for years. Land, hardware, facilities, and all.

Here's some degenerate trash for y'all. Does it Count if You Lose Your Innocence to an Android?

We already have some devs (all of the Indians of course lol) have like >250k lines of accepted code suggestions. Which is of course completely retarded and nonsensical in every way. Except to the non dev leadership who see that this guy must be ULTRA PRODUCTIVE. Never mind that a single feature...

Because Windsurf, Cursor, etc all track your use of AI in coding. It says stuff like @Noodleface: 7FEB-14FEB 2026 AI Generated Accepted/Rejected: 100/2000 Tabs Accepted/Rejected: 10/5000 Commits of Accepted/Rejected Code (and to what branches): 1/900 They then look at this and get on your...

I always hated that shit. I worked with a cool HR girl awhile back and she defaulted to that immediately. Girls need to be encouraged to study computer science! Its not fair that boys naturally gravitate to tinkering in the basement 12 hours a day for their entire childhood! Nobody stopped...

The costs of getting spitroasted by paying Claude Code (or whoever) for models and licensing and then paying AWS to operate the models is going to be absolutely insane.

Rejected that offer today. It stings but at the end of the day I am not yet ready to coast. At least not with what they're offering.

I haven't yet heard of any company opting to run open source AI on their own datacenter or AWS to save money paying Claude Code and the like. Today, right now, paying the freemium rate is LOTS cheaper. But that is a fuse on a bomb. One just long enough that leadership today doesn't see what's...

Well then you're back to what @TomServo just said. You need metal to run all that shit. Which firms are apparently dumping. So they're going to run it on AWS I guess and get spitroasted?

Not with the current pricing models for... everything. Microsoft are the Grandmaster dickheads of charging per seat, per instance. Now you have Excel Jockeys that can't Excel without also having Claude Code Excel plugins that also cost $$ ontop of that. So where do you save money other than...

Yeah they are currently ignoring the freemium AI prices. AI are saas products. Everyone gets the teaser rates right now but in another year or two these companies expect to close the trap. Would you look at that your entire staff can't even do day to day tasks without AI-Slopmaster 7.2 on...

I think beyond that it fundamentally ignores that the means to teach AI (human documentation) doesn't read in a truly step by step machine fashion. A manual for hardware specifics, database rules, and so on is written with the implicit understanding that the person reading it has some background...

Extremely unlikely. Mostly I'd be helping sell the greater organization on this or that and squeezing it in where I can, if at all. They had very specific interview questions about that, "how would you sell this to a large team of stakeholders?" Along with a small sample pitch of something and...

Welp I succeeded at getting a job offer... for a job I don't even want. It would legitimately be going back 10 years in terms of tech stack and I would be helping them convince the rest of the org to modernize. Meaning I would barely do shit other than be bored making POCs and shit. Would be a...

Damn, the meme about AIs prompting humans to do stuff is real!

Now that's one I am excited about.

Actually interesting in part. AI drastically fucks up the price per seat model of most platforms.

Then retards will just say hurr durr AI will replace all that too! Odds of AI replacing the upper tiers are pretty much zero. Just within the context of this discussion Principal SQL Server DBAs and shit still earn north of 200k a year, you wont be firing them to have AI do that job.

This is generally fine at the junior analyst level too. However this is also how you learn higher level database concepts like indexing or clustering, intelligent design patterns to ensure good performance, proper deduplication strategies. You wont be getting the AI to do any of that if you...
