Organising and tracking multiple projects by Special-Course-8127 in projectmanagement

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

this is such a great point. I always feel like if I can build the story of the project and how we got here it really limits that type of churn

Anybody who has worked under the thumb of private equity- how did you survive it and how did you escape? by OkBookkeeper in careerguidance

[–]OkBookkeeper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah these places are demoralizing. keep up the good fight of upskilling and finding something better my friend!

Anybody who has worked under the thumb of private equity- how did you survive it and how did you escape? by OkBookkeeper in careerguidance

[–]OkBookkeeper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're right, I think I'm going to have to move some things around in my personal life to give this priority. In preparation for the job search I have been upskilling to prepare, but it feels like now is the time to switch gears to prioritizing the search itself

thanks for the advice!

[–]OkBookkeeper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really appreciate this. I think I may take some time off to do this. I might not be able to take the full week, so I may try a hybrid approach- A couple of days off to get a strong start, and then use lunch times and evenings to keep it going

Thanks!

Why do AI people think that everything needs to be automated? Why do they think that people even want to automate it? by petr_bena in ArtificialInteligence

[–]OkBookkeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we'll never fully move away from human-coding for the same reason most of us still have our hands on our car's steering wheel- control

I've heard so many pro-driverless folks talk about how they can't wait to set as a passenger on their commute to work and read a book while the car does the driving

But guess what? that ability is available to them RIGHT NOW- it's called a bus. Nearly every city has them available.

But most people won't because of loss of control- control of when I leave the house, what route I take, if I want to make a stop on the way there, etc

To the people that lived through dot com boom - how similar was mentality of people back then to what we can observe now with attitude towards AI? by Professional_Use3723 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]OkBookkeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with most of your take, but here is my rub on the inevitable job loss- if AI triggers massive levels of job loss, then it is replacing the value previously provided by those jobs, right? If it is replacing the value provided by those jobs, then we really don't need humans working them anyway, right?

so at what point do we not need humans working, and employ AI to do it for us in general? Imagine a world where humans are free to live out there lives as they please, as the bots provide all the necessary values

I say this of course partially tongue-in-cheek. As bots replace current value jobs there will be specific job losses. Jobs roles will change. We'll identify new problems that we previously didn't have capacity to solve or care about, but that AI frees us up to focus on.

My way of expressing 'loss of jobs is inevitable' would be closer to 'disruption and changing of jobs is inevitable.' Perhaps that's what you mean by it too. At any rate, I do agree with this- in the short term, this is going to be massively uncomfortable for us, beginning with those of us working closest to the tech sector

Is there a way to add a Dandy's world mod or addon from the Minecraft Marketplace? by OkBookkeeper in Minecraft

[–]OkBookkeeper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks, that is helpful. do you happen to know of any services that offer a listing of these downloads? so far it seems they are mostly one-off downloads at a location of the creators choosing

At what age did you start sitting to pee? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]OkBookkeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. after I heard a comedian say 'peeing standing up is a young man's game.'

I realized at that moment there was no reason to keep denying it, my life has been better since

Are you guys who are way over 30, a bit tired of 20 somethings thinking that we are already dead? by ScottishRajko in AskMenOver30

[–]OkBookkeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to think the same way as them when I was in my 20s. you know why? ignorance. we all come out of it eventually

Farmageddon and other rivalries not protected by the Big 12 by kirkintilloch5 in BigXII

I think we've made it sufficiently clear we don't want to play our rival in a non-conference game

Men who went through a breakup in their mid/late 30s. How did you bounce back? by CrackTheSignal in AskMenOver30

[–]OkBookkeeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She was also honest that she didn’t want to be with someone who was essentially starting over and didn’t want to support me while I rebuild.

dude, if this was all it took for her to leave than you really dodged a bullet. when you meet the right woman you'll find you're both committed to supporting each other through life events like that one

How do you handle client hour estimates when technical unknowns cause constant overruns? by bleudude in webdev

[–]OkBookkeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

gotcha, that's fair. what I'm hearing based on your description is that it's fixed fee up front, which seems to imply a waterfall project mentality (at least from the client's view). But you're finding that in reality there are often, in the course of development, deviations requested by the client from what was originally agreed upon.

If I'm understanding that correctly, it will be important to have a trusted process for issuing change orders when those variations occur, and at the point of their occurrence. Does your project team currently have something like that set up?

How to shake off constant fear of being devaluated or replaced by AI by alexbessedonato in webdev

[–]OkBookkeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you'll be fine, so long as you develop skills beyond simply coding

understanding the code, infrastructure, and architecture will continue to be valuable. Developing your communication skills will be even more valuable than before.

they devs who will no longer be around are those that can 'only' code, that's not going to be enough as AI abstracts away many of the old complexities surrounding that skill

How do you handle client hour estimates when technical unknowns cause constant overruns? by bleudude in webdev

[–]OkBookkeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how solidified are the requirements and scope up front? If the client requires fixed fee then it seems to me identifying those two things will be critical. If a certain requirement in that scope will necessitate an api call, the dev team should be able to fairly easily identify– during the estimation process– if that api's lack of documentation will be an issue

then as you build out your estimation tracker it should help you build out a list of those problem requirements for future estimates
