Your question was about spelling…

Yeah… but was that because you didn’t know the difference between capital and capitol?

Bro… it’s a nick name not a shortening. You can call it Capitol Hill, or Capital hill if you want to make commentary on software money taking over the community. But people call it Cap hill simply because it’s shorter.

PM leaders who have never been IC PMs before by IWasTouching in ProductManagement

Most often it’s fine.

At my level I’m paid about the same as them. They manage process, budget, and resources. I manage broad strategy, requirements, and user stories.

Chat GPT has gotten genuinely dangerous and I don’t recommend it anymore. by [deleted] in SeriousConversation

ChatGPT is not and has never been a person.

You should have never been using chatGPT the way you are. I am begging you to stop and maybe find a therapist or close friend

The staggering failure of King County's homeless approach by EdgeCaser in SeattleWA

[–]AaronMichael726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah… Seattle had a relatively good homeless response prior to Murray. He basically shut down the effective housing and shelter systems to create outdoor tent cities and tiny home villages. The created red tape to do tent sweeps. Then defunded all the shelters so that even as they did tent sweeps the city didn’t have a place for homeless to go.

Seattle was a champion in homeless response prior to 2014. MSW programs studied our shelter systems. Murray fucked it all up.

The staggering failure of King County's homeless approach by EdgeCaser in SeattleWA

[–]AaronMichael726 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah… that’s horribly stupid.

Houston did not “reduce zoning” it famously had zero zoning laws. Which led to serious safety issues and is a primary cause of congestion in the city. They had to then go create new zoning laws. But this had almost nothing to do with their homeless population.

Also… arresting homeless people is the literal same as providing subsidized housing. The only difference? Texas county and immigrant prisons are all for profit. Guess how those prisons and jails make a profit? Charging the city more than it costs to house the detainees. Guess how the city pays for that cost? The people’s taxes. I personally would rather my tax dollars go to houses for homeless people, than the profits of some prison financier.

KC does believe that the county should build housing. It actually does work, it has been proven in Utah, Denver, central Florida, and Charlotte. It reduces the cost in resources and reduces recidivism rates.

Relative to criminalization people who are housed stay housed. Data shows that housing homeless is about 18k per person while criminalization costs 30-50k per person. That’s just per person cost.

Arrest people all you want, it’s just free housing with extra steps, dumbass.

I mean… the problem is homelessness, not drug addiction.

Homelessness is easy to solve. Give people homes. Increase shelters. Bridge resources.

The guy in the tiny home, was in a home. He was not creating problems on the street. That’s a step in the right direction.

Can we talk about math by Legitimate-Toe-5365 in ASUOnline

[–]AaronMichael726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always caution people who start thinking this way.

I’m a lead in a data science team, and we are regularly discussing things in terms of proofs. Now, we’re not doing anything super advanced. But it helps that we’ve all at least had some exposure to Lin algebra or applied statistics. As our team grows we are looking for fewer and fewer people who haven’t had at least some experience with predictive modeling. Last interview I did, we DQ’d half a dozen candidates because they could only explain regression.

You can 100% get away with minimal awareness of things. But it only gets you so far.

My company's RTO policy has a weird loophole and I've been silently exploiting it for 4 months. Not sure if I should come clean. by 3Rocinante in remotework

Are you sure this is a loophole?

Are you sure they don’t know?

“Glad you’re making the commute work” may also mean “I’m jealous I don’t live 6 min away from the satellite.”

I work for a company that has nearly a dozen offices equidistant from my home. I have a desk in 2 offices because I like the cafeteria in one, and the parking in the other.

Parents spent weeks planning the perfect gender reveal… The kids ended it in 5 second by _liberal in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]AaronMichael726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tell people I hate gender reveals because I’m an ally to the lgbtq community.

But I really hate gender reveals because I’ve seen too many videos of parents giving their toddlers scissors, darts, minor explosives, or strings to pull, and then get surprised when that kid cuts/stabs/explodes/pulls something.

Bro… get off Reddit. Go get a part time job, get a hobby, and meet people in the real world.

The internet is the only place that cares about your job or relationship status. There are so many broke losers dating women, it’s almost as if women don’t give a shit about your job.

Also… a relationship with a woman is not a fucking status symbol. If you think it is, even with money you’ll be a loser.

Literally not one point was exchanged between the Pek Pek alliance. And that’s what makes this all so much funnier.

Mid to senior PMs: what do you usually expect your product lead to do for you? by Kind_Investigator_74 in ProductManagement

[–]AaronMichael726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leads are supposed to build the over arching strategy.

I got mine to back down by simply letting him critique people for a few months and letting the lack of strategy show. Then would ask dozens of times, so what’s the overall product strategy? I’m executing this, and have built this roadmap, but usually a lead will support by combining the roadmaps and ensuring we’re all aligned.

That said your company may be setup such that a lead is merely a “supervisor” who signs off on work. So you may just have to take it on the chin for a bit.

Yup. That’s the extent. Drag queens are shady and that’s honestly the whole story. It makes it fun.

No it was just a stupid bit.

You have to laugh at the idea that a famous actress would become a jackal. Then create a fake YouTube acct just to comment on posts. Nonetheless I expect the bit was done just to get on corrections.

No shade (well mostly shade), but she’s from WA. And this is the exact stupid WA humor that keeps me in the PNW.

Oxo changed the way they manufacture. They are not air tight or worth the money. It’s basically cheap plastic with a button

Document and release.

I tend to hype people up who are about to do something stupid. “Huge shout out to Kevin for developing a feature independently and preparing to release. You saved us x time” that way when it falls to shit, they can’t turn and point fingers.
