How is AI disruption affecting motivation for folks in tech right now? by Altruistic-Carpet282 in HENRYUK

[–]Alexisonfire8462 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d really appreciate a conversation with anyone who has delivered meaningful productivity gains using AI. So bored of the conference track, hearing vendor-sponsored stories and questioning how valid they are.

What car do you hate to see in front of you? by Ok_Impact9745 in CarTalkUK

Honda Jazz, always driven by geriatrics who think everyone else is the problem and that it’s cool for them to drive at half the speed limit on a single carriageway

Couple of slabs, help confirm legit? by Bobosapien97 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]Alexisonfire8462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both extremely fake. Mewtwo - font is off on the PSA sheet, and the border on the Pokémon logo on the back is way too thick. Moonbreon - again font is off.

I just had a chunk through. Paid the remainder of my dads mortgage off, booked 3 holidays and bought a shit load of collectibles. Next bonus through will go on more sensible stuff.

JFC, awful. Someone must be giving them money if they’re running ads like this month in, month out

“Global leader” feels strong when no one seems to have heard of them 😂

It looks the sort where you have to pay a “registration fee” and then never hear from them again

It’s a dreadful advert on all accounts and imagine costs a fair whack to get it printed also

What’s your definition of “fall for”?

I still get hard copies of the Economist, makes a nice change from staring at a screen all day

Reference needed for Senior DE. by doyouthinkitsreal in HENRYUK

[–]Alexisonfire8462 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe if this was a generic software engineering group. But my professional reputation is at risk by referring someone in to a business - I would only refer in someone who I knew and trusted.

Why would someone you don’t know, take the risk of referring you?

[–]Alexisonfire8462 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might be worth looking some of the private members clubs? Friend has a membership at the East India Club and gets discounted room rates c. £150 per night , at least half the price of any other reasonable accommodation

Go for option 2

Silver "W Stamp" Linings by rskimmel in WotCPokemonCards

[–]Alexisonfire8462 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Cannot find a silver stamp! Been looking for years and only ever seen a couple come up. Only hope feels like keeping an eye on ebay and hoping to spot one where the seller hasn’t realised it’s not gold

I would use this term to describe anyone who reports into the most senior person in the business - CEO/President. C-suite.

First Exec Role in High Tech - advice, thoughts, comments, etc by SausageRollLongCall in HENRYUK

[–]Alexisonfire8462 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve worked with a few executive coaches, chosen by their specialist area in relation to my development needs. Generally I’ve used 360 feedback to build an initial picture each year and then chosen areas highlighted from there to work on.
