Update. My immigration status is bring reviewed and I've been put on PTO.

Time to get the resume out!

@jestdotty do people still use search engines?

Just take whatever chatgpt says we gospel. Close enough.

Two main things cause this that I've seen.

1. Poor communication. Often us devs are hostile to MBAs. This is not without reason, but it sets up a player vs player environment except the managers have the upper hand. Avoid this at all costs by communicating clearly and politely. Very tricky to do, I'm still figuring it out myself.

2. Manager is a fucking dweeb. Usually under pressure from their manager to get shit working right because the upper management also know he's a dweeb and don't trust him to get it right.

I've interviewed a dozen people in my life. I'd say 6 bombed it, 4 were meh, and 2 were capable of basic tasks

Is it Android compatible? I'm still on the official app

@kiki hope you get better soon

@atheist wild medical story, glad you survived.

When I was 16, my left lung collapsed. Extremely painful, something called spontaneous pneumothorax. Anyway they have to stab a one way valve into your chest cavity to let the air out and re expand the lung. Also extremely painful.

Doctor said to give me 50cc of morphine(i don't remember the real number, so let's use that). The nurse thought it was high so decided to give me half and see how I reacted before giving the other half. Thank God! I'm allergic and my heart stopped. I had passed out and fell off the bed onto the floor. Woke up being recussitated(sp?), with hives all my body and vomiting everywhere. I managed to vomit so hard the valve in my chest dislodged and came out, letting air back in and collapsing my lung again.

I ended up with 5 of these things between 16 and 17. They stopped with surgical removal of part of my left lung. Now I float crooked.

The Internet should be more than http. Bring back gopher and news groups!

Pokemon packs are getting pricy

Needs more uv

Solid rant!

@novatomic winter, crash, down turn, whatever you call it.

It ain't 2021 anymore. That shit was wild

I haven't looked in the market since the crash, but I wish you luck!

It was yesterday at my place. Sorry.

@kiki ASCII art or gtfo.

Dang, devrant is slowly dying...

Pics or gtfo

Both are great, but butts take the lead for me.

According to that Hotmail guy, 99% of Indian engineers are using engineering as a stepping path to management.

That might be a racist rant, but I'd say it's true for a large portion of the Indians I've worked with. Those types of people (aspiring managers) don't write good code, they please the people who can promote them.

It's harder to triangle with big legs. Pass.

Small violin

The new murder bots are completely polymer based so our acid guns won't work anymore

The DRY zealots generate thousands of lines of difficult to maintain logic bombs just to avoid a simple to understand logic repeat.

Unless you're talking about the 10k copy and paste monstrosities... *Shudder*

Plebs < front end devs < back end devs < literally any other kind of dev

@rootshell the real invite is the friends we made along the way

@retoor credit without the card. Generally has better conditions because it's not as convenient

@retoor this was a Canadian requirement for an English province.

Likely French in a French province, and either in New Brunswick.

@retoor

be academically qualified
have obtained sufficient acceptable engineering work experience in area of qualification
be competent in the English Language
be of good character
demonstrate an understanding of professional practice and ethics issues

For the academically qualified bit, you'll need an undergraduate degree, but those are obtainable with work experience and an assessment I believe

@retoor someone that's a member of an accredited engineering organization is an engineer.

Like the CSPE for instance, or whatever other countries have

There aren't many capitalist societies left.

It stopped when we stopped owning things and started renting them. Capitalist own things.

I don't know what this new system is called, but it's post capitalism and it's worse.

The Best years were because of communism during ww2. Planned economies, rationed goods and services, and boom, decades of wealth.

It's our only answer for a post automated world.

That's not accurate.

Gpt turbo was not an o model. The o models have chain of thought capabilities.

Not all models developed are exposed to chatgpt, most are available via the API for engineers. Each model comes in different sizes (like mini), and they also have preteleases (o1preview) that are temporary.
