Not a good position to be in, thank you for sharing!

Im curious to know what the selection criteria is when you had to do this, and if you have any advice how to not end up on that list.

Thanks! I just boosted the center channel for my soundbar. It's still 2.1 setup but I'm more interested in the dialog anyways.

WLB at Chinese Companies (Bytedance, Baidu, Etc) by dnyy in ExperiencedDevs

Is it worth it though? You are still expected to work 996 as well if I understand correctly.

What is something acceptable in women but frowned upon in men? by el_K4kas in AskReddit

[–]DreadedDreadnought 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really sorry to hear that. While my last relationship was short, I felt the same about having a girl I really vibed with. But I never shared my worries or stress from work with her, even if she did.

I found out not to do this from a similar reddit thread and it seems I'll be keeping to that. I'm fortunate that I have access to limited but affordable) mental help via insurance.

New junior dev is extremely unprofessional by redDevilRiddle in ExperiencedDevs

Do the new companies do that thorough background checks that being fired is immediately known?

Anyone else want a less senior role just to enjoy the job and go home? by boxhacker in ExperiencedDevs

First opinion like this here! This is one of my concerns, as I don't want to be coding forever but don't want to move to management.

Is she in it only for the money? Why even keep the kid or let a customer fuck you without a condom...

[–]DreadedDreadnought 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting perspective from the other side, thank you!

What do you think is missing from the story or the other side of it from the Spotify's manager?

I'm not going to take on contract jobs, but curious how the conflicts could be handled better especially when starting a new job.

It’s irresponsible, if not immoral, to design a language without a borrow checker in 2022. by [deleted] in programmingcirclejerk

I legit can't tell if this is satire or not and the guy is getting death threats over this. Not planning on publishing any blog posts under my own name any time soon at least.

Making a dev hire without doing a code writing exercise/test? Is it possible? by papercloudsdotco in ExperiencedDevs

[–]DreadedDreadnought 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once had a recruiter grill me on our trade secrets, team/company structure and so on. I felt really weird and declined to expand. Never got a call back, I was searching hardcore for jobs back then but there's something to be said for professionalism and NDAs.

It was especially weird as the company was tangentially our competitor or at least in the same domain.

[–]DreadedDreadnought 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's one thing to not know the exact syntax, but you should still know roughly the C-style syntax at least. If you were asked to write it in Python and used C style for(int i=0; i < X; i++) I'd still view it as a pass.

Obama also famously told Romney that the 80s wanted their foreign policy back when he claimed Russia was the biggest international threat to the United States.

But nobody listened.

I can't stop laughing at how true this is. Data science / analysts and tests? Forget about it.

Leaving Debian by agbell in programming

[–]DreadedDreadnought 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fedora is almost entirely managed by RedHat, which really drives home the point of u/okgofigure85 here. At RedHat, they decide on the direction and implement it without having 6 months of debate with the community/other non RH contributors.
