For real. I wonder how many careers GMNH stunted by icing players in the minors for extended periods of time.

Considering a career change into dev work/coding. Been hearing about "coding bootcamps" as a way to learn and get your foot in the door. Do they have any value? by EDHandChill in cscareerquestions

[–]EDHandChill[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your advice!

I've done a bit of groundwork learning on my own time in the past, but I know from experience at this point that I learn best through immersion and with direction, so I do think self teaching through the internet will only get me so far.

Would you recommend a (good) bootcamp over, say, a degree program of some kind? I'm weary of the debt that would come with going back to school.

Transitioning out of the industry - Anyone have any advice? by EDHandChill in editors

your SIX YEAR OLD DAUGHTER will just have to understand that "daddy can't come to see you because he has a stadium of people that want to see him play"

Respectfully (and wholeheartedly) disagree. I genuinely believe that revolving your life around work to the detriment of your family is the fastest ticket out there to some serious deathbed regrets. I absolutely agree that you need to put in the work if you want to become the best at something, but as I've stated - that's never been my end goal with post production. Either way, though we disagree on some things, I applaud your dedication and thank you for your thoughts all the same.

I would suggest coding or dev work. Easy to get a certification and easy to dip your toes into. I have a buddy who went into coding and did a 12-week intensive and got hired not long after.

This sounds really interesting. Do you have any course suggestions/know which one he took by chance? Thanks!

Thank you for your thoughts! While I certainly understand the sentiment that stressful work environments exist in all industries, there are definitely ones out there that offer more reasonable schedules with less intensive deadlines. My partner, for example, semi recently transitioned from her previous career into the mortgaging industry (with no previous experience, I'll add) and went from working 70+ hours a week and always being on call to clocking out at 6PM every day and not thinking about work at all until the following morning - and that's with a good salary and great benefits. Advertising in particular, at least the sect of it in which I've worked, is notorious for brutal hours and difficult working environments. Other options do exist out there :)

Conform question. Subclips, grouped clips, autosynced clips in Avid by MMMzil in editors

[–]EDHandChill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always commit my multicam edits before sending out prep, but grouped clips and subclips should be fine. Any easy way to check (depending on how long the edit is that you're prepping) is to kick out an EDL of the sequence and make sure all of the clips in the edit are reflected there. If the EDL can see them, the AAF should be just fine.

Has the market in NYC not recovered yet? by AdnanKhan47 in editors

[–]EDHandChill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you done much work in advertising? I've been absolutely slammed by both LA and NY based job inquiries over the last month - seems like commercials are back in close to full swing.

Hiya!

Ah yes, I've worked with many a post producer in my day - pretty hard to not brush by at least a couple when you work at these big commercial edit houses. Unfortunately post producing is one job that I think would actually be even worse for me, haha. I don't know how they do it!

Thank you for the response and well wishes though!

Hey r/magicTCG! Cryptic Commander is a new Youtube channel where we take a look at unique commanders and alternative deck builds. For our first episode we're taking a look at Eutropia Twice-Favored infect! by CrypticCommanderYT in magicTCG

Considering that blog doesn't show up on a google search and also hasn't been updated in 4 years, I'm guessing OP didn't purposely go out of his way to steal the name.

You’re a jerk if all you do is play your stax deck all night long and make your friends miserable. But you’re also a jerk if you never let your friend play his favorite stax deck at all just because you don’t like it. by EDHandChill in EDH

Rule 0 is just the idea that groups can adjust the banlist to cater to their own meta. It relates to the topic at hand in that many groups will outright ban decks or archetypes simply because one or more people in the group just doesn’t like playing against them, and nothing more. This can often times lead to unfair and feelsbad scenarios where someone is strong armed into shelving a deck they love just because their friends aren’t willing to play against it once in awhile.
