If coding has taught me just one thing its.... keep your ego in a box.

If you need a job, do the fucking exam. if you dont, tell them to pound sand. Its as simple as the dynamic of power.

I dont trust it.

I dont get this. Is the constitution an NFT?!?!?!

owning the constitution does not need to be a financial transaction, this seems like a scam. we need less money in politics, not more.

Re:We created a fake language to root out resume liars on Wednesday March 10, 2021 @04:49PM (#26416732)
Seems like a lot of time you are blaming the victim here. People put that shit on the resume because of NLP resume parsers filtering out good candidates.

This is why you come to the game with a human readable resume

sounds much more like budget politics against the incompetent
That is horse shit and we all know it. What bug takes 2k hours???? thats 250 work days. jesus christ, if I took that long to fix a bug, fire me. And yes, I'm also talking about time to test, write/fix unit tests, write/fix integration tests, releasing into production, and data conversion.

personally, I just outright refuse to be on call. That cheap bastard needs to hire a SRE. I explicitly ask the question in interview, I let the manager know I have zero interest in doing such a thing. and when they force my hand, I go somewhere else.
