Given some of Intel’s crap lately, meeting the bare minimum could be considered a big thing for them

It’s less the interview itself I’m worried about and more the coding tests most companies expect you to complete these days.

I’m a great programmer and problem solver, but a coding interview is exactly the wrong setting to demonstrate those skills because of the way they limit your tools and time. I also don’t really work in a way that they’re expecting, in the past I’ve lucked into faking it for entry level positions but I’m in a much more senior role now so the expectations are much higher. My current job never required such a test but they’re basically the standard now.

I’m done with my job.

I hate the company because I’m ethically opposed to the business model, I want to actually help people instead of building more efficient ways to steal money from small businesses and the families of dead clients. On-top of that our latest manager is the next in a line of increasingly intense micromanagers who keeps looking at our engagement scores and is basically making our jobs harder and more annoying in response, he can’t work out why it’s getting worse…

I want a new job, anything that lets me actually help people. Hard to do when you don’t have any official qualifications, a disability and are neurodivergent so interviews are a nightmare.

Great news for them, now that coal is cleaner they can switch back and make even more progress!

We waste the two hours doing code reviews that only three people actually need to be present for, I always appreciate the chance to zone out and do something else for a big part of the day. Follow that with lunch and I’ve just done half a day’s work by watching TV

Yeah exactly right? I’ve had Americans tell me that snakes and spiders are too scary, snakes will actively run from people (mostly) and spiders don’t care about you they just want flies and stuff.

Meanwhile in NA you’ve got powerful prey species that will just randomly wander through town, not to mention all the gun violence in the USA…

Most dangerous thing here are the cars tbh.

I really really hate this narrative. Time and time again people tell me they would love to come to Australia but it’s too dangerous.

This isn’t a dangerous place, most of our wildlife is harmless and/or actively avoids people. It makes me so damn sad every time another friend tells me how deadly my home is, and even worse they refuse to listen to people who actually live here because they’ve been told Australia is dangerous their whole life.

Eat shit Albo, fucking biggest disappointment ever. So much potential from the supposedly left faction of Labor and we still cop shit like this.

That’s fair, I just like windows and that’s really all there is to it. I’ve had a few Linux installs in the past, but never really found an advantage to anything except compiling this one specific python library, but these days I can do that very easily running WSL, VS code SSH’d to my server or more recently a jupyter server that I can connect to from any device with a web browser.

Now macOS on the other hand, I absolutely despise. It was one of the first OS’s I learnt to use back in primary school, and now that I have to use it for work I have absolutely no nice things to say. Unintuitive, missing basic features and slow to navigate, and I can assure you that none of this is due to unfamiliarity…

Other than messing around with the beta for half an hour, I thankfully never had to use it.

Unpopular opinion that I have no justification for: I don’t mind windows 11 all that much

Maybe we should stage a harmless but seemingly extreme act, to point out this hypocrisy and to bring attention to the cause 🤔

Just pirate, it’s better than paying these companies to rip off artists. Support your favourite artists directly, streams are basically worthless compared to other forms of income like merch.

Best video you’ll ever see on the topic imo (and very short)

Corporations have absolutely no incentive to change, consumers need to vote with their wallets if they want something to happen. But no, everytime someone points out this blindingly obvious fact we get the “uhm actually corporations need to change, it’s not my fault they’re feeding off my unsustainable habits.”

We have to work together, we only have power to effect change when we work together, solidarity is our strength.

Why does this kinda look like Doug Walker?

Considering all the failures we see with water distributors just faking tests, I fully expect that this would just lead to someone dumping a bunch of live virus in the water supply lol

It has changed an enormous amount, this article discusses it

No idea if I can reply to a deleted comment but I read the root comment totally wrong and just restated everything they said. My bad.
