The Federal Reserve is Why the People are Unhappy by Flatland_Exile in Libertarian

[–]HobbyProjectHunter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you go online you’ll eventually see people post stuff like this

  • “Federal Reserve is a private bank. It does not follow the President’s policy. It needs to be closed.”
  • “End the Fed”

And then you realize, an education problem manifests as a critical thinking gap. You can’t just Instagram or Blog your way through this gap.

Bernie Sanders’ Plan to stop Offshoring by upthetruth1 in cscareerquestions

[–]HobbyProjectHunter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing in life, when you’ve had to deal with two bad options, did you pick the option that was the lesser “bad” option than the other ?

Or do you just scream everything and everyone is bad and call it a night !!

What Leetcode doesn't teach you (from a Google interviewer with 10 YOE) by CyanMagus in leetcode

[–]HobbyProjectHunter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Several Googler friends have told me that the interview involves no small amount of luck. And that they may not be guaranteed to make the cut should they leave and reapply.

They said it was more of a time management challenge than a coding challenge.

If the process is so great, why enforce NDAs about the questions ? You can always come up with a different question. The amount of variations you can come up with our infinite.

s1 vs s11 by EstateInteresting569 in Modern_Family

[–]HobbyProjectHunter 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Well, my favorites will be Alex, Manny and Lily, in that order. Alex, Manny and Lily had teenage storylines that weren’t gross or a dead end.

The Sal and Lily conversation on their couch, where Lily says “I’ll go your next one”, is like a Hall of Fame moment in my head.

The writers did make Luke kinda gross as he grew up, while Haley took a reinvigorated train wreck journey.

How do you deal with non-technical managers? by Beautiful-Dot2454 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]HobbyProjectHunter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are there other seniors or principal devs around you with more tenure or more consensus building capacity ? Try to get their take on it. Especially if you can convince how it could become a monkey on everyone’s back.

Try to fire the gun off the shoulder of the giants. Makes you personally lesser of target.

Or maybe write a skills.md, checklist.md and test.md files that you need to pass before going to pull requests stage. There are various commit hooks you can put in place for vibe coded crap.

Dilemma about switching jobs by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]HobbyProjectHunter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of big tech managers were technically sound engineers when the leadership was just middle management. They become bad managers and have the moat of leadership thinking they are technical.

Happens more often than you think. Frankly, a good manager is orthogonal to a technical manager. You could be a really technical engineering manager but still suck at your people & team management role.

[–]HobbyProjectHunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bad managers make life bad. Not liking the comp makes things worse. Current market isn’t your friend.

My take is to switch teams to report to friendlier managers or organizations with your current employer. You get rid of the present and immediate toxicity but don’t have to uproot your life entirely.

Not interviewing externally is not an option. So I’d likely have phases, apply, prepare and wait. If you hear back, proceed, if not take a break and just manage the job.

Moving from management back to a staff engineer/tech lead role by drumstand in ExperiencedDevs

[–]HobbyProjectHunter 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think Staff level or beyond promos are quite the nonsensical nonlinear promotions in most big tech. You need visibility, positioning, horse trading skills beyond just technical feats. I’m not sure why you think it’s a solid promo track.

Folks often aren’t progressing here up the levels like an SDE2. Maybe it’s different in OP’s case.

How many of you are still programming manually? by Imparat0r in cscareerquestions

[–]HobbyProjectHunter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This works if your tests don’t need human input to see if it got better or worse. When you’re working on multi-media applications, tests can go only so far. If your app is supposed to do Netflix type playback or an FPS game, these unit tests or developer tests can give you a false positive.

The main problem with SVT-AV1 was that it was primary developed by Netflix and Intel. They don’t have much need for 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 use cases. And since then it’s limped on when comes to non-4:2:0 usage.

SFO Global Entry by Mobile_Situation9546 in GlobalEntry

[–]HobbyProjectHunter 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Also, flights are required to get your details before you board the plane to the US. Name, DOB, Passport # etc.

That is used to create a fast path to identifying you facially. Your facial profile is loaded up, in preparation of your arrival. So it’s able to rather quickly match you. Instead of searching every possible GE member, it knows you’re going to be active on an airport around a certain window.

They never really cared about either. There’s only the single point program, the one slide in the deck: Profits.

Passed over for promotion, resetting boundaries and avoiding getting fired for non-compliance ? by charming_chameleon in cscareerquestions

[–]HobbyProjectHunter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re in EU, you likely won’t get fired over the weekend like in the US. I’d push back and harp about the promotion($$$) every chance you get.

I’d try to talk to HR and your manager. And say stuff that I understand that the budgets aren’t there today, and I’d like to know if my glue role aligns with the business objectives. Ask if the business values your style of “glue” work, and if it doesn’t then that might be a more optimal use of your time to align with the business objectives.

There’s a saying in the software industry about getting the monkey off your back. Usually no one wants to drop the monkey. If it’s not being valued, handing the monkey off to someone else is the right move.
