You don't have to put up with it. Lots of great companies great out there that create a safe space for normal adults like you and I.

Vote with your feet and leave.

it's ogre :[

There's actually a clear solution to this problem. It's called URA. I think what's actually happening is that URA goals are falling short, because managers are failing to meet them.

It's war time, managers. Time to sharpen those axes...

That's the whole point :) it happens to all of us

Fix it so that it doesn't terrify you

this thread is funny because I ended up spending my whole day yesterday and today heads down coding

Listen to recordings of your own speech, and then course correct

some software engineers spend most of their time designing, communicating with other teams, and managing operations. It becomes the case as you get more experienced, depending on your staff engineer path.

For github & google, I'd put my own money on it being >80% in 5 years. Maybe not a whole year's salary though, I'm a big baller

programming is going to get automated with language models in <5 years

however, I find that my job (SWE) is about 1% programming and 99% strategizing, designing & communicating.

Don't worry, we'll get much better models at much lower costs (midjourney, stablediffusion) that you can run on your own hardware, and avoid the moral censorship that the paternalising non productive members of these companies want to subject the world to

Pepe is banned. Why? It doesn't matter. Someone will cut around, and they'll get my compute instead. And I'll get my autogenerated pepes, regardless of whether some non productive AI "ethicist" thinks a cartoon frog meme is offensive.

Who said anything about funding north korea? Just make it illegal to do so. Why does that assume violating my privacy?

You actually can't really stop privacy enabled cryptocurrencies. By all means, I'd like to see a concerted effort to do so. (Because poking the bear will just fuel more cryptographic innovation that dodges control :P)

dear feds:

stop fighting, you're not going to win :)

define understand

trino is awesome

can't believe this shit is free as in freedom

feelsbadman

lol, pepe did nothing wrong

Just because some asshole uses the peace symbol, does it mean the peace symbol is hateful? Anyone who claims so is dishonest

image generators are cool, but there's no shortage of them (midjourney & running your own on collab) and dalle2 has nonsensical bans (why does "pepe" go against the content policy?)

Open-ai has nonsensical censorship. Dalle might be popular right now, but open-ai won't survive if they keep up their ridiculous attempts at trying to control culture. I've already got something running on collab, new models are coming out, and midjourney just got a v3 update that blows dalle2 out of the water.

The hero's journey is about facing a nightmare and emerging successful. So that sense, it is a hero's journey. Not everyone succeeds, but if you emerge, you are better for it.

Being so dependent on your employer that it would ruin your life if they terminated your contract is probably not a good thing. A hero's journey is about remediating that deficiency. For some people, being laid off may have been a good thing.

Market still seems hot for senior/staff devs. Getting laid off is a free lunch + a paid vacation to interview for a better job. Thank god I listened to my mom and learned to code.

>freeze

Yeah, unless you're a staff engineer :P

The fight over STSMs is only getting more brutal. More like a freeze on training engineers up to become staff members

Mishires kill

The safest thing to do is not hire anyone

The second safest thing to do is hire your homies

Unfortunately for companies aspiring to become megacorps, hiring your homies doesn't scale

This is an incredible gift to humanity. A huge positive impact. The team should be proud

good thing we have product managers whose entire job is to herd us cats :P

You know what? I love the new instagram changes. And everyone I know has been using it more and more over the years. Interesting that the people who hate it so much are the same ones that are using it. Data doesn't lie.

TikTok copied short form videos from.. vine. I mean youtube YLYL videos. I mean... newgrounds.

Shit's been around, and both facebook and google are going to lap tik tok. Keep up :)

High G factor correlates with high creativity. I see a direct correlation to coming up with creative solutions and being able to solve a battery of tests.

A lot of the leetcode hate mostly exists because it's hard. And a lot of coding interview problems actually require a lot of creativity to solve.

And imagine thinking that facebook isn't innovating. Facebook is leading the future of virtual reality, and leading AI breakthroughs. What do you think facebook marketplace usage is like? Just because you don't like getting tested doesn't mean people who test well can't innovate. No matter how much you trick yourself into thinking that Facebook/Meta won't stand the test of time, it has and it will.

Context aware data access is really cool. And hard :)

party on....

idk mang rogers prettttty bad

If you can take down the whole network, it isn't a single person's fuck up. Its the whole organization's fuck up.

Not me. Canadian "tech" has 0 talent left. We're all working for the much better paying american mega corps

Even shopify is getting bled dry
