Engineers with zero social awareness are brutal to work with. I've got a classic Nerd's Nerd on my team with intense autism. My shop is the kinda place where the median age is ~58 and most people are just cruising towards retirement, which is great for me, because I get to do mostly fuck-all and get paid fat stacks for it. But the nuance of the glory of this situation is completely lost on Dr. Autismo. Constantly waddling over to my cube, unironically pushing his eyeglasses up his crooked nosebridge, and asks: "Erhmmm..... whatcha workin' on?"

This guy refuses to just relax. I assume because he has no hobbies mod programming, and no friends. He's online on slack hacking away on God knows what until 10 PM regularly. Fucking freak.

>>101146429
Additionally he has somehow missed out on the post-COVID "oh, jobs are only here as a business transaction and would drop me like a sack of potatoes if it meant our CEO Mr GOldstein gets a couple extra sheckles" that even the most braindead zapped normies caught on to. Guy is absolutely slurping corpo cock for no benefit.

>>101146429
I work with a guy like that, he loves working late, during the weekend, he never takes days off, refuses to work remotely, whenever we're remote he misses us so he spams us on Teams, he doesn't stop talking about work shit no one cares about during lunch... It's a fucking living nightmare.

>>101146508
>refuses to work remotely
that's not an autist that's a psychopath

>>101146522
I'm 100% sure it's because he's lonely, it explains why he spams us to death on Teams whenever the rest of the team isn't on site. Today a coworker and I told him we were gonna be remote this afternoon, he genuinely got pissed off.

maybe he just doesn't hate his job

i'm too scared and embarrassed to post it here so I guess i'll just fuck off.

Genuine question: can an IT department function without product owners? Our company is undergoing digital transformation and it seems like they aren't planning on keeping them at all. Makes me feel grateful to be an engineer.

>>101146677
I'm trying to come up with a logical and definitive reason to be anti-Agile and anti-corporate. This is important for us who aren't drones to really think and recalculate our next steps and not go insane.

I think that the ultimate truth is that us, as programmers, we are artisans. we do creative work. Agile in current industry is the methodology of specialization of work.

I remember in 2017 when web development was definitely not as saturated as it is today (which is a normal thing to occur, technology is inherently expansive), but back then I used to have complete control and a lot of more independence in the workplace. The client would come to me and some of my colleagues with an issue and we would put our blood, sweat and tears to resolve their problems. But after a while the companies realized they could just hire a lot of more cheaper devs and they didn't need to have any good coding principles at, they could just make some sort of bootcamp with whatver meme frontend framework and get themselves in a dev position.

And with this whole new perspective of division of labor, you truly DON'T need to have good coding principles at all, you just need to finish your designed tickets and that's it. I was fine with this for more than a year but at the heart of it it's an extremely low intellectual activity, I can't find any joy in it, I feel surely alienated just resolving small parts of code (which I have no context all at of what am I building) but these new generation of coders seem to understand that their job is just to be minimal code monkeys. I think the whole industry just went the Agile way and I can't handle the future. I feel like an artisan complaining about industrial revolution.

I need to be aware of this, I think that any programmer who's truly passionate about their work needs to be aware of this (because I was surely not aware at all), put some thoughts and then recalculate our next steps.

I got hired because I've got 10 YOE and have led teams and shipped a bunch of shit before. I don't treat the office as social hour, but I also can quickly identify where I should be applying actual effort. Autismo is just totally out of phase with things that actually matter. If you're not working on something highly visible that makes your company a lot of money, just _relax_.

Your whole post is extremely in-the-know.

Tell them to go two or three levels over their current manager and tell the business that they will accept a director position for their old product owner pay and make sure that they play up the fact that they have intimate knowledge of the product unlike most other people currently sitting higher up, have deep relationships fostered with engineering, and most importantly can translate from business requirement to engineer speak flawlessly, totally unlike the current chaff fluffing up space. Then enjoy the fireworks, cope, and seethe unleashed by the current despots.

Always remember a reorg is also a chance to cut the people above you, too! Just go over their heads and argue to expand scope.

thinking of doing custom hand sewn clothes/modifications/tailoring instead

an coworker from when I was hell desking recommended I thrift shop raid and just modify old shit and throw it on insta after I showed up with my suede jacket all done up with fur like a pimp coat (hand sewn during the 7 hours I literally ran out of work for my 8 hour days) but I hate social media shilling in general. but even then, sweat shop hand sewing would probably pay more than hell desking. if I can turn a 17$ thrift store leather jacket into a 200$ insta piece on a two-hour hand sewing job that's better than the ~300/day of sitting around trying not to kms

if i hadn't become a brainlet by sitting around doing nothing for the past decade I'd go back to school for a teaching cert and work in a high school
i'm not great at math but geometry is hella fun to explain even to grown adults who are mysteriously afraid of trig. imo so many people fear math and especially geometry because it's not taught very effectively, just throwing forumulae at people instead of explaining what the relationships actually mean.

i briefly got inspiration from meeting a couple at a bar, one of whom is an ECE. i blew her husband's mind after they asked me how I'd explain what a circle is to a child and actually busted out a compass and straightedge to properly define a circle (vice an ellipsis or oval) and why the tricks to draw perfect circles freehand work so well (you swing your arm by the shoulder, so your body basically becomes a compass)

coding is inherently similar to tool-making, which while it requires some intuition and occasional experimentation, is not really "creative". inb4 you post some bone carved sculpture of a tool -- making a tool pretty is not the same as making a good tool and the arts that go into either aspect are separate.

also because in coding, you're using other tools to make more tools, the bounds of creativity are inherently limited. it's not like swordsmithing or bowyery something where you can make custom one-offs to fit a specific person and are very close to the raw materials. smashing microservices together will never be anything more than smashing microservices together. and if you're doing low level stuff, you're just doing fancy but tedious math and the real creativity is whatever it's driving (and a lot of that low level stuff is basically completely optimized, and further optimizations come from the engineering of the chips, not the code burned into them.)

the only significant thing I did lately was that jacket though. i took an old costco suede jacket I've had for literally like 20 years and put fur on the cuffs and collar. short white like a rabbit's fur on the exterior that I got from a thrift shop as just a big-ish bolt, and on the underside some long tawny brown/black stuff i got on a roll from the dollar store. the idea was the long stuff would help it seal to glove cuffs better and the white just looks good and exterior fur is a meme and does not help warmth as much as fur lining. it just looks good

i more recently tried to sew a pool cue holster/bag but the material i chose sucks. it's a tablecloth i got from the dollar store because it's got a cute easter pattern on it with rabbits and chicks and shit (i am a furfag) but upon actually trying to sew with it, it turned out to just be not nearly as robust as i thought it would be and gave up. i thought it would be better because the exterior has a gauze-like pattern the plastic exterior isn't actually fused to the under layer, which is cheesecloth-like and then a layer of the loosest ducking i have ever seen in my life. shit is less robust than seran wrap.

it's this. same reason for the 10 years of experience required when the thing has only been out for 3. HR rats check forbes for what the hot new thing is, throw an arbitrary number of years experience required that sounds right, and call it a day

>>101148576
>Years ago before I got into tech everybody was recommending people to start with helpdesk before getting into software engineering, I swear this advice was everywhere to "get your foot in the door"
I definitely wasn't shilling this.

>>101149934
>the creativity would come from the product design
exactly. the construction of software is irrelevant to the "art" of what the software actually accomplishes. same as how level design is a art, not because of the software you use but because you're basically doing architecture by another name. whether you're using Hammer or AutoCAD for it is irrel.

liken it to making music. making music is itself the art. playing piano or using a midi tracker or even writing compositions by hand on a blank staff sheet is just menial technical stuff you do to bring the original creative work to life. accomplishing a task with software might be a art, but the act of coding is not.

Windows 10 is like 100GB pre migration. Take a couple of profiles on a machine (local appdata going easily up to 10 GB with OneNote and Outlook Data) and people dont have enough virtual memory to run their programms. Our software guys are dying because programms no longer work and every patch wrecks user profiles and regedits. People can no longer work and we are talking tens of thosands of machines.
We had to switch the whole sales department to local profiles and all those working with virtual desktopto web application for months.

>>101150246
I "interviewed" with Nvidia back in 2019. No HR round. Round 1 was a Zoom meeting with some FoB Chinese guy who INSTANTANEOUSLY sent a HackerRank link in chat and said "get to work"

Didn't even confirm my identity. Legit said "Sorry, I'm not doing this" and ended the meeting. Even if I banged out an O(n) algo in 8 seconds he'd have rejected me for being a white guy.

At least, that's what I tell myself would've happened. Sour grapes and all. If I had actually prepared and not been retarded I'd be a newly minted Nvidia millionaire.

I had a strange interview today. Very strange. It was so disorganised and flat out wrong on the answers they had I was pretty surprised. I was given a few requirements for architecture and a layout. I started answering the questions directly to satisfy the requested requirements and then they realized they needed more requirements and added it but asked in such an open ended way it was impossible to answer. They specifically asked about which proxy I'd use and I said Nginx. They asked for another specific one and I didn't know it, HR-Proxy.
They made it seem like I got each question wrong.
>what is the difference between ubuntu and debian
I said ubuntu is based on debian but has more features, and debian is slower to release items but more stabile.
>What's the difference between an AWS Firewall and Security Group.
I said a SG can't specifically deny traffic and an AWS firewall can. Turns out they confused the managed service called AWS firewall and a NACL. He said the answer was AWS firewall is stateless (it isn't) and a SG is stateful. Which is wrong but I didn't call him out in it.
Then they asked some specific question about the AWS NLB and it's source IP, which normally you can't see since it's also a managed service. He figured out a way you could and commented "even AWS didn't know that was possible. I wanted to say "then how the fuck could I?"
Very weird vibe as well. I asked what I'd be doing the first 90 days and he said not much and even he would struggle to find tasks to do.
Very weird. Think I'll pass even though it's exactly what I want to do in my career. Sounds like a messed up org.

>>101151758
They also asked what the underlying network technology for Kubernetes was and I said "services were just IPTABLES". What they meant to ask was what Kubernetes networking CNIs and then they spoke about that.

I was interviewed by some Senior Jeet at Intel about 6 years ago, it was for a systems engineering position where I'd be writing firmware for their SoCs and upstreaming some CPU bring-up code into the Linux kernel. Guy asks "explain to me what happens when you call malloc from userspace" and I started babbling about how it calls a bunch of system calls which leads to trap handlers moving the context into kernel space where the system calls are executed. Then started talking about virtual memory, page faults, the MMU, etc. Guy kept interrupting me and saying shit like "NO please explain WHAT HAPPENS when you CALL MALLOC SAAR", getting visually more frustrated each time.

Got laid off in January. Trying to get a job as a data analyst but running into a massive roadblock after roadblock. It’s been miserable. I think I’ve sent out like 1000+ resumes and I’ve been stuck in samsara. I’ll the 15 that touched base with me, 5 were scams, 5 were shady and 5 were great but never got back. I do have a potential job in the horizon maybe around August but been taking fucking forever. I’m thinking of getting a bs data entry job in the mean time to tide myself over. I learned Power BI, Python, Tableau, SQL and am learning Azure rn. Anyone have any advice on getting a job? Any boards? I’ll even take freelance work at this point. Any key words I should use? Should I bother with a resume AI, I tried using resumeworded and found its suggestions helpful. One thing that’s also helped has been trying to submit my applications earlier when before it gets flooded with over 100 applicants and I’ve gotten a few people contacting me back from that. But beyond those two strategies I’m dying out here.

Do you guys think it's a red flag if the very first interview is LC questions?
In my experience so far the first interview is always a chat with a recruiter to talk about the role and company. But today a recruiter emailed me to set up the first interview and she said it'd be two LC questions. And it's a short interview so probably no time to introduce the company or team and stuff, literally straight jump into LC.

Yeah but that's true of literally any corporate role. You haven't described software engineering. You've described corporate structures. It's normal for creative things to become boring and sanitized when it becomes "good enough". The problem with the industry today is that there wasn't enough gate keeping. We didn't course correct when literally women and niggers were told that they can become the next Dennis Richie (enev though these people don't know who that is) after a 12 week boot camp. It isn't true and it never was true. At the end of the day those people were doing what overpaid webshitters were always paid for: boiler plate crud apps.

You'll need to know, at a minimum, shell and git as well but these days they'll want you to know all this extra CI/CD deployment automation crap too which is crazy complex compared to just C++ programming. Not because there are actually difficult problems (multi threaded C++ is a factory for legtit hard programming problems) but because CI/CD does something to people's brains and you get these horrible labyrinths of self modifying code in half a dozen different languages all running on shared infrastructure that you don't have full permissions on and can't replicate locally.

lmao. A simple answer in my mind would only make sense if the interviewer wasn't highly technical. Complex answers reserved for people who should know, like that jeet. But obviously the jeet is an idiot.

I had a network interview a decade ago from an HR screener. She asked "What are the basic configuration for a switch port". I said:
>Vlan access, Vlan, No shut, and "STP"
Then she said I forgot Spanning Tree Protocol. (STP). I learned right then to never assume people are smart and never use acronyms.

No it doesn't. Depending on how the runtime is configured it might never do this but even with just glibc it doesn't necisarilly do this.

A lot of people get confused but there are huge parts of the runtime that aren't just syscall wrappers. The heap is a user space thing. The kernel doesn't even know about it. Same with DNS/the host database. Same with the groups database, Same with user authentication etc.

I would have failed you over this too.

You work isn't in reverse chronological order so it looks like you havent worked since 2015. Wait, looking at your resume you haven't worked tech since 2015, lmao yeah that's why. Only put relevant things on your resume. Non tech work should be limited to one to two lines max.

bruh

>>101156912
How about you beef up your gains by eating 500g of extra lean mince in one sitting?

Once I get out of this food coma, I'm going to make myself a matcha latte using unsweetened almond milk. I've already ate a whole bunch of burritos and I'm dangerously close to my daily intake (I'm on a calorie deficit and I'm at ~1500 calories a day). The unsweetened almond milk that goes with my lattes is only ~30 calories. I can practically drink as much as I'd like without worrying that the calories from the milk will send me over my daily limit.

If you can optimize your code but you can't optimize your body, you're not a real software engineer.

If you live in a big city in germany probably yes. In italy it's top 5% income

I'm not the anon that whined about the pay, I know that people must look outside, the point is that 80% of Europe is like that (Italy one of the lowest for sure) and the 20% is still shit pay compared to north america
Also, Germany is starting to say fuck off to everyone that is not fluent in German and does not have a degree, you're probably the lucky bunch that got employed before 2022

I'll break you, twink. You hold back tears during your 1on1 meetings with your manager because you had to hack basic shit into some clusterfuck UI library, and it took you all week to do it. My 1on1 meetings have me beating the fuck out of a pathetic beta male of a manager, whose one life skill is to spout weasel words and convince midwits he isn't absolutely useless. I take him out back and administer several concussive blows to his skull, beating him into the gutter and threatening to kill him and his family if he squeals to the higher-ups about me coasting for the past 2 years. I'll push code whenever I want, if I want. For the time being, you're just going to have to wait on that "tighter spacing" you want for your tables. You push me and I'll push you into the next truck that comes by. There's a reason why meetings rhymes with beatings, you just need to pick which side of the baton you want to be on.

The startup community talks a lot about the concept of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) but what the hell is it? I am not sure. We f*cked it up. But here are some thoughts on what it is and isn't:

Let's start with what it's not:
A serverless app built on AWS (sry Jake)
Anything with a login screen
Anything that doesn't have a duct-taped backed
A platform
A marketplace
Honestly, if you have a front-end AND back-end you've built too much. Either is fine, but not both.

So let me try to define what I think it is:
MVP (em-vee-PEE): The most basic version of the RESULT to your customer's problem that allows you to validate your solution.

You're not building a solution to a problem; you're trying to VALIDATE that the RESULT is what the customer is looking for.

What it could be:
An excel sheet with formulas or manually inputted entries (Arkestro)
A google/typeform (First Resonance)
A figma design (Superhuman)
A weekly email (Morning Brew)
A pdf document (CB Insights)
A python notebook (any startup born out of a hackathon)
A powerpoint, but more specifically a case study (follow Rob Snyder for more on this)

Jake would agree with me that if we were to do it all again, we would've built everything on Figma and a Python notebook and sold the hell out of it.

The point is, don't overthink it; actually, UNDERthink it

Any tips on finding a job when I was stuck doing menial tasks for several years?

"71% of our test suite time is taken by 18% of our tests"

HUH?

A few years ago, I was working for a company with a Rails app.

We had a big problem.

Our test suite was just damned slow.

We had to wait 18 minutes for the thing to build at all...

...and then when it had built, it took another 5 minutes to deploy.

For someone who gets impatient after 1 minute of waiting...

...this was torture.

So we decided to improve the performance.

The first step?

Yup, you guessed it.

What was the performance today?

And that's where observability came to save us.

A colleague and I paired for a day.

We added a custom formatter to RSpec.

If fired off structured logs to our observability tool.

It recorded *everything* - test time, the test type, the tags, the build ID.

These were wide events.

And after 10 minutes of oohing and aahing over the graphs, we realised.

If we pared back 18% of our tests, we'd save a lot of time and money.

So that's where we focussed our efforts.

Sadly I never got to see the outcome of the efforts...

...but just seeing the data was enough for me to believe in the power of observability.

Want to learn more about structured logging?

Wnat to see how it can help you fix your bugs and understand your system?

I'm speaking in Warsaw on July 19th at Warsaw Ruby Conference.

Check out a link in the comments for more information!

And DM me TEST if you'd like a step by step breakdown of what we did with those tests.

I'm taking ML courses but I feel bad about not understanding the underlying mathematical theory and just abstracting everything away with sklearn
Is it ever valuable in industry to become good enough at statistics that you actually understand how ML models are implemented under the hood?
Does it require a PhD or is a master's enough?

>>101158330
it's the concept of being "a real x" that hurts all kinds of collectives. it also applies to programmers, not being acknowledged as "real programmers" because they do data analysis, frontend or QA.
of course i get angry whenever someone starts using the same tired concept, it's way more than just trans people.

Anon, "show her what it means to be a real woman" in that context, at least the way I understood it, means that she will feel feminine when manhandled by a masculine man. No tranny related projections here. I'm of course assuming "his sister off his feet" is a simple mistake

see, you're assuming all women feel feminine when they are manhandled. some women are dominant, some are passive but don't like it rough, some don't even like men.
you're all clueless apes and the reason society is the way it is. if you ever complain about us becoming "too woke" or whatever, it's precisely because we want less people like you.

being an AI fag just means pulling down a model from hugging face and slightly tweaking it to meet whatever requirement you have. your manager will think you're a genius and you'll make people who have actual technical skill seethe at how much money and pussy you'd get for how little technical prowess you have.

Is it EVER valuable? well, someone wrote sklearn.

That's the split the industry is sort of in right now. All the (hype) growth is going to be in AI where you need some pretty intense qualifications to be working on the foundational libraries and models.

Everyone else is just doing API calls to that shit to integrate into some app. Huge difference in focus
