You don't need to be a retard to understand the ideal time to PVP someone is right after he engaged 3 mobs or is just questing. Even in OG WOW this was a huge complaint as the rogue class is of course perfectly suited to prey upon that situation. In EQ you just wait until they're alone, half...

Oracle laid off 30000 employees of it's workforce a few days ago I guess? https://www.forbes.com/sites/jonmarkman/2026/04/06/oracles-massive-30000-layoff-as-ai-spending-surges/

I am firmly capable of talking to people. I also spent years making my own projects at my old job because I found deficiencies and corrected them. Which is how I ended up being the de facto head of product telemetry despite not even working on the product itself. As well as engineering the...

There is absolutely no way I am some super genius here. When I get some ticket I just do it. Often while reading web novels or something on the side and listening to music. I can't really believe that absolutely everyone half asses it to such a degree that I appear to be speedrunning.

Force non-consenual PVP faggots onto their faggot PVP server. That is the only way. Otherwise borrow another brilliant design decision in vanilla WoW. The Gurubashi Arena. You want to PVP and compete for some cool cosmetic thing? Fight to the death over it. Have fun, if you're into that. Have...

At the job I just left 40% of the ticket backlog for our team was me.

I have been at this new job for 1 week. Last week after onboarding until Wednesday I got 2 dev tickets. These didn't seem too difficult to me so I completed both of them by Friday. Getting them merged and pushed to production this morning and staff engineer takes me aside and tells me to pace...

Hostile pajeetification is soul draining. My wife left her last job for essentially the same reason you did. No private sale or anything the owners just hired a streetshitter CTO who did the usual. Fired a bunch of key leaders from the startup days and replaced them with more streetshitters then...

Say what you want but WoW got game feel just right. If you fire up the original V1 of the WOW Client (Turtle WoW runs this) it still feels good to play. Not talking nostalgia here or anything I mean the straight experience of just walking around in the game and the feel of the abilities and...

Couldn't even remotely tell. It reminded me of Planes of Power mostly.

Just read this. I love Correia's other series Monster Hunter International. This one is way different but the main character is not such an annoying prick this time so its a step up in that regard. Worldbuilding is pretty cool its like everyone lives in the Planes of Power and the hub city is...

Why was old boy here banned? Dude's a retard sure but aren't we all?

I read the actual book while I was bored in Iraq in 2006. I found it lol that he was actually a raging alcoholic who pounded a dozen beers and a fifth of whiskey every single day while doing his "experiment." By the time somewhat more serious researchers caught up to it and found that nothing...

Streetshitters did that to anyone who wasn't a shitter themselves when my wife was leaving her previous company.

Really depends on the role and org. Sales come and go with some frequency, director level rarely have tenure more than 3 years unless they are part of the OG crowd. Smaller companies like the one I left and the one I start on Monday are probably pretty tolerant of it. Big corporate on the other...

Ya know. It occurs to me that after hiring in the tech nerd programmer space for the past decade or so I have not once interviewed a single female candidate. Not one. Why do bitches hate coding so much!?

I never watched this. Will check it out.

Like I said. I genuinely enjoyed working there. They just historically pay below market rate and the market rate for data platform engineering exploded in the past 5 years. It significantly eclipses app dev now and is simply far too much money for me to ignore. As I was moonlighting for 5 years...

Remind me about this one? What is the significance of this particular structure?

I'd say don't spend all this time waxing philosophical. Go for it. Simple as.

Ah this sounds like the male version of one of my sisters! She did all of this except replace construction with career waitressing and the fat stripper with a broke ex-junkie. The medical calls don't go to me as my mom is still alive but she does that too. I've mentioned this in other threads...

I get a crack out of that whenever I see it. One Piece does have excellent character design. Just the right amount of silliness and they're all pretty creative.

For the new job I start on Monday I submitted a good amount of applications and rejected an easy high paying position I got offered. Only to have a recruiter reach out to me and get a job I am excited about. So you ain't alone.

Hmmm, actually it appears my direct manager is also leaving and me leaving came as such a surprise he didn't want to announce until I was gone. LOL.

In the office this last week. CIO tells me to my face I can come back anytime. I don't really know how to interpret that. Is he just being nice? Is he being serious? Would I get the much higher market rate if I did return? He isn't one to just say bullshit so I think he's serious but I've never...

Sadly ghosting is the absolute norm now. A decade ago ghosting just didn't happen. Maybe like 15 years ago I guess. @Cutlery This will sound gay because it is. Use AI to tighten up your resume. Not for buzzwords but for concise phrasing and summarization of your experience. Once I did that I...

I love how silly this show is. I lost it when the badass marine guy shows up and he is smoking two cigars at the same time. Because fuck it, that's just cool.

Well entering my last week at this job. This will be the first time in my life I left a job that I actually, genuinely liked and feel bad about it. I examined this from every angle I could think of but it ultimately came down to this: Stay and become like a steward of a slowly maturing SAAS...

Pullback seems like a good time to buy some stuff.

While I fully support the "arcane archer" class. I agree than Ranger and Archer are just really weird. OG EQ Ranger sucked shit for many reasons. But the generic philosophy of a warrior/druid multiclass has old roots. If you play games like Original Sin II they do the Arcane Archer really well...

That reminds me of the original Xenogears that had a 20+ minute unskippable cutscene before a major boss fight. Took me like 10 tries on that shit and I would just let it run and walk away until the fight started. Such nostalgia!

Are you ready for the future!? https://devinterrupted.substack.com/p/inventing-the-ralph-wiggum-loop-creator

I have to write the job description for my replacement and its a Principal engineering position. Not that I care I know they can't match my offer. But I feel somewhat validated by it.

Well I am a little upset. Hianime worked a lot better than these other trash sites. Yes I know Nyaa works fine but I don't want to deal with that shit most of the time.

I'm not a gay old man from the midwest thanks. That said I am happy to be moving to work in tech but not for a tech company. This is a solidly blue collar industry where they just happen to employ software engineers as well. At this stage of my career I do value working for a company where I...

Just found out this new office doesn't allow flip flops. This is a violation of my constitutional rights! This is mostly what I am doing. Indexing the docs to the agent that I would be writing anyway.
