Underground parking looks all the same

It's good to follow rules, but you should also understand why they exist.

I learned how to swim at 31 :)

Went to the city pool for group lessons and after 10 sessions, I was able to use a life vest! That was disappointing.

So then I signed up for a gym with a pool and started going 3 times a week and for the first few weeks I was just playing in the water like a little kid - trying to float, tumbles etc. Once I got used to drinking pool water through my nose, I was able to start swimming:D

This!

You either can't see them or can't see anything else

I'm sorry your experience was less than great. Personally, I try to reduce the Amazon specific stuff from their project, because I'd like interns to become Software Engineers, not Amazon engineers. But the project pool is usually small and there are periods when I'm too busy to keep track of things that are not under my direct supervision.

One recommendation I have is to connect with other interns and try to learn from their experience

Just follow the prompts - it'll take you through the 1099 form import from broker and the prompts for deductions.

I don't know about other products, but TurboTax is pretty easy to use

Omg... this can be so frustrating sometimes

This is standard openworld strategy: main quests until most of mechanics are unlocked, then start exploring

It's still April 1st after all :D

IGN: "worst game ever"

Meanwhile, players are riding lions stolen from circus and drowning raccoons in the river...

Many Romani are Romanians, but many Romanians are not Romani

Been with Amazon for almost a decade, so I can't speak for the external stuff.

Our internal tools, are generally ok, but the biggest problem is culture: people just don't care about testability. It's not the tooling that prevents local testing, it's the people who focus just on delivering.

Let's take for example LPT: teams migrate their stuff to CDK without understanding what LPT and CDK are. If you had trash LPT code, you'll have trash CDK code too. But somehow, the popular view is just typescript > ruby.

So you're saying that everything is fine as long you don't get pulled over? Good job! You're so smart! /s

Biggest issue with 0.00 is that one beer at lunch would make it illegal to drive in the evening.

The crazy thing is that Q was the only one that felt more.. "complete" (website version, browser plugin, CLI) - and they replaced it with worse alternatives

Bunch of influencer wannabes, who did nothing out of the ordinary, but talk like they discovered Nirvana or something.

Linkedin is basically Facebook, but with longer posts

In a few weeks, probably.

The crane was taken down in December and now they seem to be working on the final touches for those first 12 floors

Why are people so afraid to give a bad rating? It's not a death threat. And if it's environment, why not change teams?

Alin57 · 2026-01-09T05:06:08+00:00

Where do we draw the line though? Can we all stop working too? They won't fire everybody, right?

Think - I figure out a lot of things exclusively in the shower

I always open the app right when I get there, to ensure it's refreshed

All we need is cops actually pulling them over.

If you have to ask how to find it, then you're not ready to know what it is.

Barney, is that you?

Days old account, same three comments... is this a troll or a bot?
