I’m being pedantic but while external factors definitely can cause big jumps in tech, everything is always interconnected. We can’t discover rocketry without previous leaps in material science, those were impossible without manufacturing and mining infrastructure, those not possible without agriculture and sociological structures and organization, not to mention all the associated advances in mathematics etc

I'd argue its from attention seeking from lonely people online. Being a rage troll is the quickest way to get some kind of interaction, and being online means theres less consequences for it

I have been quoted 500$ to fix a stuck gascap cover, because apparently the spring is inside and attached to the rear body panel, and would require a major part replacement.

Although im starting to suspect my mechanic is taking me for a ride

Surprised more legal docs aren’t tracked like git, with pull requests

I’m afraid this would be a win win for desantis and co, dissenters leaving gives them a tighter grip on the state, at least until economically hit

As someone who is a late bloomer there is definitely benefits but also realized that I am almost always going to be the center of attention a lot of places I go

It’s not fun being in a coffeeshop and having middle age women blatantly stare at you and jockey to sit uncomfortably close. I’ve even had a few touch me without even speaking to me

I’m fortunate in that I don’t feel like my life is in danger but sometimes I just want to be left alone and yet if I go places I have to deal with the fact that eyes are on me and I’ll be approached when I don’t want to

Something awful?

We gonna need to see that tape

Something something junk mail funds a large part of usps

Layoff ops are pretty standardized so I would be surprised if there wasn’t a template that has been commonly agreed upon to be as neutral in tone as possible

Considering the history of effective oversight and regulation of local police, there’s no difference between the two groups you described

Same people who run these kind of scams are often narcissistic. They are “so smart” they got away with the first crime, they believe they have a magic touch and can get away with anything.

Plus these are not the type of people who would enjoy being disconnected from high society, they need external validation.

Thats like saying car brand X is more reliable than car brand Y, because brand X won formula one.

Her is a forward looking movie in a lot of ways

Kids born today will grow up with their phones/device being their best friend and pet, like a Pokémon. You will be incredibly socially shunned if you don’t have one, and corporations will have not only data but an emotional hook into you for life

Who remembers Bawls soda

I’m conflicted on calling him “lucky”, and I don’t think you mean to discredit him, but yeah he’s had genetic and societal gifts but I’m sure his work ethic is what makes him exceptional

Can’t explain it, it was akin to clenching or focusing my sight but with my brain, which I know is not helpful.

I haven’t done it in decades and honestly not sure if I can do it still

Most people use phones

QR codes are the closest thing

This is great advice. Different voices educate you more about the world than the echo chamber. Plus you get approached a lot more by other women when they see you can treat women like humans and not objects

You guys are bringing back memories. I used to do this all the time when younger, actively phasing between what felt like sleep and consciousness, and even being able to hold and stay in the state inbetween. Felt like balancing

This is what the role looks like in the vast majority of bigger tech companies, for good reason. Tech companies biggest hurdle is steering the boat. To launch anything you need to coordinate, align, and get consensus, beyond just your own team. Can engineerings develop in a vacuum? Can they take even well defined tickets, and build an optimal solution without knowing the product direction and vision?

The manager is a people manager, not a product builder. Marketing, product, other engineering teams, all need to be aligned. As the most senior you're probably setting the high level architecture, so you're going to be the "API" or point of contact on which the other architects on other teams will need to communicate.

Selling that architecture to juniors involves all those things mentioned, and as the architect you're responsible and the best person suited to judging their work as aligning with the vision/architecture. Senior role is usually defined and evaluated in performance reviews for the impact that goes beyond the code.

I'm not explaining it super well, but its something you realize is a natural part of the role as an engineering leader. And that what a senior+ engineer is, a leader. Mid level engineer is a terminal role in a lot of companies for those who don't want the added responsibility.

To your other point, there do exists teams where its all seniors who mostly do IC work. These are usually high-value, high-risk, core product engineering R&D. Or some kind of DX (Developer Experience) team where you are building tooling for other engineers, but even these teams too often has juniors, as at the end of the day, they are just another type of platform team

They got that rich because for them the deal is the “juice”. They prob retired because they couldn’t invest as much time keeping up with it due to age but SPACs were such a feeding frenzy they could jump in and make a killing

His expectations seem to be on the level of faang tech lead or staff, probably even more involved consider he keeps using “CTO”.

Starting up and maintaining any sort of community sounds like an intense position, especially over 3-6 months. This sounds like a “sleep at your desk” situation

I’ll take it

I’m more than vulnerable to my close friends but I do enjoy everyone having a good time

Sounds like those people are in strong negotiation positions

I can definitely see Spotify taking something like this and generating songs based on your likes/seeds, especially for edm music.

Exactly. Maybe it’s because I don’t have enough brainpower but I’m perfectly happy for society to determine parts of my I don’t put much value in. Clothing styles, haircuts, what music is on Spotify.

I recognize the value in being novel in those areas and I respect people who are passionate and put in the time, but I prefer to focus on the things that matter to me

I’m self aware enough there are millions similar to me in a lot of ways, I’m a product of my genome and society mostly, and marketing demographics work. But I take from that more of a stance of brotherhood. We are all on the same journey and we should find kinship and empathy in that.

Yes. Giving the love back I’m given is the greatest feeling.

That I should stop being concerned with people who don’t give a shit if I live or die. That impressing “cool” people is childish and instead to find the genuine people who care about me and invest in those relationships.

I used to be in a social circle that felt cliquey and revolving around status, and would have panic attacks because I never felt emotionally safe and never felt like I had a true loving base.

Once I made a point to be positive, polite, respect boundaries and ignore trying to be something I’m not, I became a more empathetic, optimistic, and fun person.

I put out good energy, appreciate those who return it, and don’t sweat those who don’t.

Getting older was a big part of it and surrounding myself with people who value hard work and empathy.

Nfts?
