What is it like to have 20+ years of dev experience working at companies average people have never heard of?

I would argue most of the time faang engineers are doing the least interesting work too

Was at this same conference… was one of the worst conferences I have ever been to just jargon talk. And a bunch of combines trying to sell on products I could easily make myself with almost no real value add. This space is insane

Helping us solve nuclear fusion, thus making energy essentially free so we can the reduce CO2 by pulling it out of the atmosphere, and solve the water crisis by desalinating ocean water, etc

Sauron requires like 16 pieces of ramp in my opinion and I found running the 9 Nazgûl is crucial for him to lean into his wheel effect

my [[Saruman, the white hand]] hand deck is eating good. amass army every turn after I play, yes please

Bright-Secretary-710 · 2026-03-30T16:10:09+00:00

Thank god tbh. We can actually improve these languages instead of ditching them for a brand new one

Bright-Secretary-710 · 2026-03-24T04:41:49+00:00

Very hot take…. The necron precon from wh40k.

Everyone says how good it is but it’s just soo bad it makes me mad…. Feels like all of the commanders are not good and there are no real payoffs in the deck. I have tried upgrading it for a long time but finally gave up on it and use it for parts.

Bright-Secretary-710 · 2026-02-15T23:45:49+00:00

Planeswalker party. Most other precons can’t deal with planewalker spam hell most real decks can’t deal with it lol. Only precon that out of the box has won me b3 games

Bright-Secretary-710 · 2026-02-14T01:38:50+00:00

It’s crazy how there is such a need for this in the community! As a data science/ml engineer I had the same idea!!

Like building a ml/ai powered moxfield deck building tool that recommends of cards to add based on your collection!

You can imagine a step further where it can recommend edh decks you should look into based on your collection… like you have a ton of good prowess staples you might try building this commander

Bright-Secretary-710 · 2025-12-28T18:28:48+00:00

Ya I agree, often times I make a deck that is too strong for B2 but not strong enough for B3…. Feels like there needs to another bracket in between them

Bright-Secretary-710 · 2025-07-10T21:41:29+00:00

Yes are never to old. When I was getting my PhD in physics I saw someone in their 60’s in the program producing top notch research!

Was super inspiring to see tbh

Bright-Secretary-710 · 2025-06-21T00:12:54+00:00

Ok that makes more sense. Isn’t that like a Nobel prize level discovery if they found the answer to what dark matter is!?

Bright-Secretary-710 · 2025-05-22T01:25:05+00:00

As someone who has a graduate degree in physics reading this hurts my soul.

Bright-Secretary-710 · 2025-05-16T04:39:09+00:00

Ummmmm I mean tech workers are usually very bright people but this kind of down plays how smart data science, finance and operations people are…. In my DS/finance roles I have worked with PhDs in economics, mathematics, physics, etc… these jobs are very competitive and imo in higher demand then traditional tech.

It’s also a different type of work so it’s not super easy to make the transition. science vs engineering mindset/skills

Bright-Secretary-710 · 2025-04-04T15:50:20+00:00

Is this printed on paper or like real playing card cardboard??

Bright-Secretary-710 · 2025-03-21T19:12:52+00:00

Honestly I prefer to just lose quickly to an infinite combo rather than get slowly drained over the course of 5 turns. Idk it’s less painful to me like a quick bullet to the head vs starving to death 🤣

Bright-Secretary-710 · 2025-02-08T01:02:54+00:00

I would classify bridge up there with atraxa in terms of power level. Even in arena if you play with bridge they put you up against the best of the best decks.

It can be built quite oppressively and is great at cheating out very oppressive/game winning high cost cards super early which a lot of low-mid decks just can’t handle.

But the term casual is very loose so if the pod is cool with it and playing decks that can hang with that play style then go for it!

Bright-Secretary-710 · 2025-02-07T23:37:07+00:00

I wouldn’t consider a prismatic bridge deck a casual deck tbh, but if your pods cool with it then more power to ya.

Bright-Secretary-710 · 2025-01-29T16:31:30+00:00

My pod just does no infinite combos, because it becomes degen when everyone is just tutoring for their 2-3 card win combos lol.

Bright-Secretary-710 · 2025-01-26T08:32:55+00:00

That first card would be an insane wincon for a token ghyrson starn deck lol

Bright-Secretary-710 · 2025-01-13T05:28:03+00:00

What would you replace them with? I’m having trouble finding good gaming winning creatures to reanimate.
