This reminds me of myself sitting Peter Gibbons mode in a Friday meeting, slouched back, daydreaming about the weekend. lmao. HR looooves getting work taken off their shoulders because they just want to sit around and chat, mostly. They hate being 'bothered' with questions from employees.

And since they are likely boomers, they think A.I. is 'cool' and want to be 'in' with the youngsters and perhaps they think that A.I. will make the company distinguishable and faster. lol. Oh gawsh I've been in that boat for a while. I'm happy I'm out of it.

Giving raises? Hah, not likely. From my previous experience, they avoided giving raises unless the client was smothered in happiness by gross over-effort. With that money they are mostly looking to get fat bonuses for themselves, and employees.. well, nothing, not even last. lol. Maybe a bonus every other quarter at most.

@BordedDev From my studies in Sales, it's part of the funnel. :D

@BordedDev This is totally an ad. jk

@torbuntu That sounds like a nice idea.

Is this a hit at me? lol

lmao, the "uuuuuu" overlaps your avatar.

@jiraTicket Hmm.. so money allows you to buy a bit of happiness then. Heheh.

@jestdotty Hmm.. o.o Star Wars images.

I often have to play Tom & Jerry race with the low quality delivery guys.

I was thinking about a finger sensor or brainwave sensor and how it could measure the level of stress during the review. lol

(Am I the only one who didn't read 'TestFlight' but something else...? lmfao)

@BordedDev You tried so haaard, and got so faaaar, but in the eeeend, it doesn't even maaatter ♫

@Lensflare Yes, I studied various measurement units, including points, in Art School and I'm familiar with it from working with PDF manipulation on the job as well.

And so, if I recall, this is why we work with em rather than px in CSS.. and Figma worked with points as well. I got the term 'display dots' from a book on JavaScript.

Maybe things will unfawkkkkk sometiiime.

@BordedDev

Yes, I know about the pros and cons of the various data structures.

I had no idea React was the slowest framework. lol. They market it as blazing fast.

@Lensflare Concise.

@jestdotty #2 lmao

#1 :scientist-voice: Innnnteresting, jestdotty. Thank you for the insight. Something to think about. Vroom vroom, rarrr.

@D-4got10-01 Yeah... the entire management team had it...

kind regards,

Manager

she/her

...lol

@Alice >:P

@D-4got10-01 That reminds me, I wasn't allowed to address people as 'Mr. or Ms. or Mrs.' in e-mails anymore.

@sandeepbalan That is indeed what it's about!

The sad part is that it's reality where I worked. The vibecoders came in past 10 a.m. and sometimes noon, not giving a fuck, and left by 2 or 3 p.m., while work was until 5 p.m.

The big boss was pissed off about this because he knew he was powerless as these coders were sadly his greatest coders in the office, not because they are vibecoders but because they happen to have the best technical skills.

Me? Like sad sap coming in at 9 and ending at 5. I mean.. this shit is all politics.

Weekend going ok.

"Double or nothing"

@jestdotty

lol jestdotty.

Yes, I'm stuck with it as well for now because of the experience thing.

People do, they ruin hobbies. Art becomes tedious. Gaming becomes tedious.

To fix it, you would probably have to look into other stuff first, to detract attention.. and I find it's better to do things for yourself.

@BordedDev Perhaps someday.

@BordedDev I probably went through that since I minored in Communications at a modern college. In fact, it was core part of English 201; know your audience, and 'contemporary' vs. 'refined' vs. 'popular' English, writing articles for various audiences, copywriting, etc. I understand what you mean by it; it's a whole bunch of deceit.

@D-4got10-01 I think the best in regards to interaction with people is a polite plain truth speaker. Sometimes we want to tell the truth, but we deliver it in the wrong way and so the other party may not like it, so we have structures and ways to mitigate that.

An example of this is the nominative tense: (person parked their car too long in the mall). Admin: "The car XYZ-ABC in spot 1A should be moved", not "Hey, owner of XYZ-ABC, you have to move your car" (because this will sound rude; people get offended when you use the personal pronoun to address them because it makes them feel guilty; all psychology).

@Lensflare In some countries it's I.A. e.g. Spain "Intelligencia Artificial".

@D-4got10-01 Well, in college we learn soft skills, so that shouldn't be a problem these days.
