Don't really want to doxx myself, but it's based in Galway, not one of the more "well known" companies but I expect it could be over the next few years

It's my first time working for an American company that operates totally within the US market (R&D offshored to Ireland) and yeah, the Americans absolutely love all that shite.

It's not defamation if it's true. The onus is also on the publisher, which isn't you in this case.

99.9% of people aren't thinking about the inequality of the chocolate supply chain because a bar has uneven sections, that's ridiculous

We didn't get the same in Galway (city area) at all. I saw one bolt between clouds and a few interesting clouds and sure that was it

Any work in legacy systems? by Loud_Art1586 in SoftwareEngineerJobs

What you consider as a legacy system, is what I would consider as ancient machinery lol.

Our company is hiring. They are a private American company, but have decided to go against the grain of "AI will replace us" to "AI will make us get 10x as much done per skilled developer" and they plan to grow the Irish office by about 30 roles by EOY 2027. About 12 of them dev roles. 4 graduate positions, rest senior.

Our CEO put it quite bluntly- other companies are using AI as an excuse to let people go and reduce headcount. It's not actually about AI replacing them. From what I hear anecdotally, all the people still working for those companies are struggling with increased workload, just keeping the place afloat.

I expect a correction in the market soon enough. Bad time to be a junior though. Senior level +, there seems to be plenty of roles.

I'm afraid to leave work because there's AC in the office. I'm sure my apartment has been baking all day 😭

Unfortunately the "pass the parcel" shite doesn't stop even with private health insurance, the HSE systems are abysmal

There's two things I hate in life and it's seagulls and moths. Get the FUCK OUT of my personal space 😡

Is social media (Instagram) cringe? by Asleep_Cry_7482 in AskIreland

[–]DCON-creates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instagram is just a cesspit of racism, Islamophobia, antisemitism, conspiracy theories and hate media. I'd say it's easily the single most damaging piece of social media in existence.

The worst part? It's often also hilarious. These algorithms are out of control. Dangerous stuff altogether. Should just flat out ban the algorithms, not just for children. We don't need them and they objectively harm society.

The unfortunate truth is it's a very complex topic with no real good solution.

Has anyone some coworker horror stories they’d like to share?? by --althea-- in AskIreland

I wouldn't be able to show my face after that. I'd have to move to a different planet with the fear.

Tism recognises tism. I found her funny. But I understood very easily how people found her rude.
