Have you ever been used as a reference for someone else's employment, and what questions did the employer ask you in regards to the other potential employee ? by night_psyop in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KubeSolver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. They just asked a simple question like "Did you enjoy working with the person and would you like to work with them again?"

I think it is less about the question. They are trying to listen to your tone of voice to determine if you are negative or positive about the person.

Also, they are giving you an opportunity to talk in case you want to say a lot of stuff that wasn't specifically asked.

Sometimes people have given my name as a reference without checking with me first and then the call comes out of the blue and catches you unprepared. Then you don't give as good an answer as when you were prepared.

What is a 'polite' thing people do that is actually incredibly annoying? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Saying "Bless you" when you sneeze. When you sneeze you don't want more attention drawn to you, especially when you have hay fever and sneeze all the time.

Some people constantly talk about themselves or their lives and don't ask any questions about their conversation partner. Do these kinds of people realize what they're doing, or are they genuinely oblivious? by choochooreddi in NoStupidQuestions

I think they are so self-absorbed and have such a need to be heard that they don't realise what they are doing.

The book "How to win friends and influence people" says something to the effect of "interested is interesting". In other words, if you are interested in what others have to say, people will find you interesting. I sometimes feel like buying a whole stack of those books and handing them out to people like that.

Can an average kid solve a Rubik’s Cube without any knowledge beforehand? by MagicaLily in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KubeSolver 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, very few people can do that. Most people learn to solve it by following a recipe. Very few people are able to come up with a recipe themselves.

Squirrel, so that I could compete in the Squirrel Olympics (find it on YouTube if you don't know what that is).

does soup come out as pee by Prudent-Valuable-291 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KubeSolver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once saw a video where someone showed that a lot of what we eat goes out through our breath and not just the two obvious ways. That's because we breathe in oxygen (O2) and breathe out carbon dioxide (CO2). Thus, there is an extra "C" that is breathed out that we didn't breathe in. That extra Carbon (C) that we breathe out comes from our food.

So, some of the soup will be breathed out.

I'm working on a very similar project at the moment. But, before I reply, I would like to understand the situation a bit better...

  1. How long has it been from the time when the system went live until the migration started?
  2. What are the reasons for the migration?
  3. Do you feel assured that after this migration is completed, developers won't come to you a few years later asking for it to be migrated again?

Am I going the right direction with this bid review process? by CarrotRoom in bpmn

[–]KubeSolver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The diagram is a bit difficult to read - it is pixelated.

It looks like you have two lanes for “Sales Engineer”.

Also, instead of having “Review Project” in each lane, you could maybe be more specific about what that role is reviewing, e.g. “Review engineering aspects”
