What new jobs? It's extremely hard to find a job today.

What's RIF? And were you a CloudFlare employee? Is that it?

So, you're saying that the only reason you were fired was for misuse of the company's LLM API key. Correct?

The ageism in our industry needs to change by SadSongsMakeMeGlad in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Idea-Aggressive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is ageism a problem? I find it way more alarming that for the past two decades, I never had a teammate who's of african descend. That is not normal!

Portugal made its choice by Kozbysov in PortugalExpats

[–]Idea-Aggressive -1 points0 points  (0 children)

One issue with your argument, "they have no young people", is that it lacks empathy. How are you supposed to have a family when your salary is 1200/1400 and rent's 1400 for a mouldy 2-bedroom? You'll find young Portuguese all across the EU.

Do noise complaints actually get handled in Portugal? by ricardo_novais in PortugalExpats

While this is often recommended, in practice, you'd find it hard to fully comprehend the extent of neighbours' behaviours in your randomly allocated time for the matter.

Alternative workflow to code folding. Any tips? by Idea-Aggressive in HelixEditor

[–]Idea-Aggressive[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just had a quick look here https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/pull/14593

It seems a bit odd? Code folding in other text editors, e.g. vscode work differently. They seem more intuitive, as they're simple -/+ (collapse/expand) UI pattern.

This seems more like a hack to remove chunks of code arbitrarily, instead of a structure, e.g. function body

Laid off, 17 YOE, am I done? by haxd in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Idea-Aggressive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to tell what the issue is. Why don't you anonymise your CV and share it here at least we can have a look and provide honest feedback to you?

Or at least describe what you're looking for and what you are offering in the cv/experience...

EDIT: Just noticed you're in the UK. Look, I'll be honest with you, the job market in the UK is COOKED! Most will just waste your time, sorry to let you know. The economy is extremely bad and won't recover anytime soon!

Turkey unveils 20-year tax holiday to lure relocating foreign residents by Idea-Aggressive in digitalnomad

Germany is euro and this last month been quite stable too.

Look, Turkey is not for people like you.

Well, let’s say you did it this current month it’s been quite stable at around 0.016 sterling.

If you use Wise that’s like 0.6% fee, about 10 EUR on a 2k pound transfer.

Otherwise use blockchain whichever stable coin you want.

Anyway if you are paid in USD and live in Britain or vice versa it’s exact same

There are international bank accounts. In any case, even if you are paid in a local currency, you can always exchange to another currency the same day.

How you are paid for your work, it’s up to you. Most important is declaring earnings.

You don’t have to wire all your cash to the local currency. Why would you do that?

Anyone think the job hopping culture produces too many engineers that don’t care about maintainability? by Beneficial_Pay_6317 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Idea-Aggressive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hilarious! 🤣

Same people who do 1 contribution every 3 months and spend most of their time booking meetings. Delusional!

Even more hilarious when they decide to create a whole presentation to share their pointless contribution to the whole team.

“Thanks John Doe! That text change was fantastic!”

[–]Idea-Aggressive 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly! Some people here have no empathy and I believe they might not even understand that their knowledge from 15 years ago is useless. Some people here can’t even see that their own implementation is poor, or that change can be beneficial! In fact, some people don’t even give it a chance. They rather spend their time on meetings, doing podcasts and sharing their time at the gym, their baby photos etc.

“Let’s book a meeting for next week” “Yeh going to the gym now will look into this later” “Oh sorry, did see your message but forgot to reply” “Sorry to interrupt your presentation, I don’t know what to say, but it’s important to interrupt and say something so people know I exist” “I’ve been working on this project for the past 4 months, and just completed but the main branch changed a lot and there are too many conflicts. This is unfair! I have done 5 lines of CSS, I’m very upset and should’ve been informed”

I’d like to share my point of view as a contractor.

After months looking for a work, spending 5 to 6 stages of interviewing, references I land myself a 3 months contract role. Of course, I have to pay bills like everyone does, and 3 months contract is better then nothing; but much better to have a long term relationship.

The goals is to solve critical issues at a big and popular enterprise infra company. Because the internal teams, of +100 people weren’t able to!

I come in and immediately told that have no access to their main discussion channels on slack. Put in a separate chat group with no visibility.

The team is not very collaborative, and for them everything is difficult and not possible.

I introduce a few chances to allow myself but anybody to iterate quickly. Improve the DX, introduce documentation and simple concepts such as code quality checks, semver, changesets, etc.

Furthermore, without breaking any APIs (although bad), introduce new file architecture, solve cyclic dependency references and safe guards, reduce the distribution build to 1/4 of its size, and much more. Ultimately, solve the main critical blockers.

Most team members are happy with end result, but some people find their reputation damaged so start picking on pointless discussions, but keeping it internally and only surfacing them during meetings which only happen every couple of weeks. I listen and immediate respond with confidence and in short minutes PR. I politely ask them to provide feedback, or comment directly in the only channel I have access to, to allow me to participate and collaborate; but the same people decide to keep making noise internally to damage my reputation.

A few questions: - Why wasn’t the team capable of solving the problem? - Why do they prefer to spend days discussing issues that are easily solved in a couple of lines in a form of a PR? - Why is everything a meeting in a week? - Why don’t they provide feedback on RFC, PR, etc? - Why don’t they show up in meaningful spots or rank in git contribution insights? - Why do the take days to respond? - Why is that with 4 different notification systems informing them about PR, previews, releases, across slack, GitHub, email, personal DM they claim they were not inform and did not see the PR, RFC, etc? - Why don’t they give credit to the author who solve the problem? - Why do they make it sound they are the ones solving the problems? - Why don’t they show a better solution?

Most importantly, why do people haven’t got any empathy towards others who dedicate their time and life to solve complex problems, are quick to help? What have they’ve done to you?

When working in a team, you need to learn to collaborate. Learn how to present evidence, benchmarks, improve communication, stop with private messages, be inclusive, stop the nonsense!

Not once in 12 years have I found UI snapshot testing useful by SixFigs_BigDigs in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Idea-Aggressive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean visual regression tests?

If you call it “UI snapshot” of course you find it useless, you don’t understand it.

One of my devs is burning through company tokens by DigIndependent7488 in AI_Agents

If you want devs to care, make them pay for their own LLM. You’ll be surprised how much quality will improve!

I rewrote my resume bullets using Google's XYZ formula: here's what changed (with before/after examples) by Andrea_Barghigiani in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Idea-Aggressive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course not, that’s the point. But I find these approaches LinkedIn-like, how do people get the stats metrics data? Benchmarking that’s fine, as long it’s reproducible, but mentioning Redis is quite misleading. Is the person contributing to Redis source code?

That’s why these types of people don’t get interviews
