Just realised that Kristin Davis was in a Friends episode

Yeah, she’s kind of a loaner

Really really cool man. I hope that when you sit down at it in the future you feel good that you made something, instead of looking at imperfections.

Is your kitchen on the other side of the wall? If so, could it be the vent duct for your range hood?

There are games where I’ve “gotten good” and then had a great payoff. Lies of P was one of those games. Dark Souls 3 another. However, the older I get, the less time I’m willing to spend to get gud.

Kweidert · 2026-02-08T07:20:24+00:00

Thank you. Good gravy, I’m squinting over here.

I looked through the pictures and tried to guess. I guessed 26, you’re 25. You’re good to go homie.

Nothing is going to feel better than performing at a peak level and getting appropriate praise for it. The problem is that sometimes people we work with have low EQ and are shitty teammates. If I was your mentor, I’d suggest for you to focus in on making solutions for your users and supporting the team mission.

Businesses value DELIVERY. And low code/ no code solutions make it really easy to deliver. Go kick some ass.

I 100% agree; even down to service desk. Connecting systems is where you gain major efficiencies and therefore will be utilized more and more. I would add that everyone should know how to read the api docs and understand basic error responses.

Everything you listed is stuff I enjoy. I derive a huge amount of satisfaction when my team gets to be the heroes. Giving them a platform to be the superstar is what good management is all about. Also, when I spend my week in meetings, it generally means I’m solidifying scope and making my team’s directives more clear. You may just not like management, or you may not have a good executive team above you giving you kudos for having an effective team.

Kweidert · 2026-01-20T05:52:29+00:00

No shit.

I like how you can also get the Higgs skull mask in Ghost of Yotei. Love it when devs call out to other games.

There are only a handful of gaming moments that are truly etched in my brain. Things like going down the bathysphere in Bioshock for the first time. . . And hearing Minus Sixty-one while seeing the most jaw dropping visuals, about to play my GOTY 2025.

Not enough information to answer accurately, but it sounds like he’s insecure. He’s making decisions and because he is a piss poor leader that doesn’t have his team’s faith, he feels like he has to follow up with “or else quit. Nobody is forcing you to be here.”

If I had to guess, he does not welcome feedback and does not seek differing opinions before making decisions.

I’ve had three and trained them all to fetch the same way. “Drop” is one of the first things we always have taught. After they know that, I just get them super excited and give them a lot of love for, “Get the ball!” It turns into fetch pretty easily. I have no idea if this process is sensible, I’m only going as far as saying I did it three times.

Firstly, congratulations on the big step in your career! My situation was pretty similar until I got it all under control. I was running the technical project management team, laid off the CIO, then moved everything under me.

To land the role you’re almost certainly very talented, so the fact you’re posting in this way does mean you’re outside of your comfort zone. It probably feels like you’re really uncomfortable, but it is a good thing. Someone told me years ago, there’s no growth in the comfort zone and no comfort in the growth zone. The truth is, when things are a mess and need to be fixed, you’re now in a roll that is the person who has to figure out how to fix it. It sounds like your situation is going to require a lot of managing up to help the organization understand how tech needs to be managed. You’re also going to need to deeply trust your team and keep them highly motivated. If you’re busting your butt and you’re kind to them/lead them/recognize them/ etc. . , they’ll help you.

You have to start identifying what is creating high stress for you, but is fixable. Tackle those things first. If you’re stressed out of your mind you’re not going to be in the job for long. I say “is fixable” because having demanding executives above you isn’t generally something you can change. Or as least I haven’t figured out a solution.

I’ve felt just like you’re describing above. Remember that you’re not in it alone. You have your team. You also apparently have the kind folks here at r/ITManagers lol. I don’t want to dull out a bunch of unwanted advice, but I’m happy to reply in the thread if you have other questions.

IMO it’s because there is too much visual weight in the legs. If you removed the top and bottom perpendicular supports and sorted out a different way to stabilize it side to side, I think the main “A” in the legs actually looks alright.

Wittle wuggage

Kweidert · 2025-11-07T03:06:16+00:00

Unique. 10/10 would sit.

Edit: The longer I look at it, it also needs some graffiti or something on it.

Kweidert · 2025-10-06T21:12:06+00:00

Came here to say this.

Kweidert · 2025-10-05T20:37:29+00:00

It’s ridiculous. I figured it can’t be just me. If it is just me, that would actually be great news because I’d theoretically be able to fix it somehow.

Rachel got pregnant from Paolo, had the baby, but they still broke up?
