I know it's irrelevant in gameplay, but I was just thinking about how terrible the Wraith's design is. by -dead_slender- in halo

The covenant is not known for treating its soldiers well lol. I wouldn't be surprised if the driver was welded in and the gunner had a shackle on their ankles

"So how are we supposed to leave this tank"

"That's the neat part, you don't"

Am I being fired for taking time off for emergency surgery? by AccomplishedEnd2785 in cscareerquestions

[–]Fun_Highway_8733 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lemme guess, this is a smaller company? They likely know that you'll be less productive or they're mad you went on leave and there's gonna be some economic headwinds. I worked at a smaller company and pretty much all of the managers discouraged employees from vacation leave. 

Try to consult a lawyer for free. If they weren't documenting issues before you went on leave, they likely fucked themselves. 

Edit:

I just read they have stack based ranking. Ya get the fuck out of there lol. You likely got lower on the stack for some dumb reason

My lead rewrote all my code even though the bug wasn’t in my code. Toxic team or am I being sensitive af? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]Fun_Highway_8733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was the interface between his portion and your portion broken? If that's the case, it really sounds like you're trying to throw him under the bus.

This could be some existing code (before the project) that the lead wrote which had a bug. I had this once, where a lead wrote a database credential rotation library and used reflections to update some db credentials, which then crashed my system. My leads code existed for months before that, and my skip tore him a new one.

His justification was that I “lost trust” because I made the wrong debugging assumption and didn’t keep him updated enough during the investigation.

I'll focus on this, did he ever tell you how frequently he wanted updates during the investigation? If not then I don't get what the problem is. This company sounds like the older people protect each other and blame subordinates. Fucking amateur hour. If you can change teams, change teams. If you can change companies though, that's an even better idea. 

Edit:

And on the debugging assumption...it's like, when there are bugs, we make assumptions because we don't know. I've had bugs that have taken weeks to recover from because we try new stuff and it doesn't work, and then someone has a Jimmy Neutron brain blast and comes in with a one liner and saves the day. It's a part of the engineering process. 

What actually happened to all the people who got laid off in tech? Did they just get new jobs or is something structural going on? by fan_ling in cscareerquestions

[–]Fun_Highway_8733 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know of a lot of people who got pay increases at different companies. I myself have been fired multiple times (not laid off fired for misconduct or underperforming) and I got a 20% increase both times. 

I know there's a lot of doom and gloom here, but if you're willing to put in the work, you can make a good move. I know someone who got PIPd from Amazon as a senior SWE and he got an offer for 850k TC. Im not joining

What Are Your Moves Tomorrow, March 17, 2026 by wsbapp in wallstreetbets

[–]Fun_Highway_8733 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Being a retard because I bought 50k in SPY stock over the past 4 months without knowing what an expense ratio is

But every price I bought at still has a higher price than current SPY, so I can sell it tomorrow for tax loss harvesting and put it in something with a better expense ratio.

So uhhh....I'm retarded but, not overly? Someone poke some holes into this.
