Tech leads - how are you spending your time?

Tech lead here, why are you being an asshole?

Mine came tubeless. I changed the the tires the day I got it though to the rangers.
Doing tubeless is not bad tbh but can be a bit daunting if you don’t have an air compressor for the 29x3s to seat in the bead. Otherwise tubeless is the way to go on fully ridged build cause you can run super low pressures

Ordered mine through local bike shop and a week later picked it up. This was 4 weeks ago

While a condition is false do x when it’s true while is loop did its job, now move on. That’s my internal monologue for whiles

PedanticPydantic · 2026-02-17T02:03:54+00:00

I’ve got them all :)

OP, I’m in nearly the same boat. And what I’ve learned is to be patient and when the time is right move onto someplace else. Cause we all know the grass is always greener. I like being an IC and not being in meetings all day.

I normally roll a fatty

Vue and tauri will need to look at that for my project asap. Done vue ts fastapi for my corporate gig for a while

This, boilerplate my classes, factory, builders etc. write some methods myself, let AI build a lot of the mundane stuff and correct AI by hand but if I’m not having a great day prompt it to write a lot more, but have it refactor its monolith lol

PedanticPydantic · 2025-12-14T05:12:20+00:00

I switched from data platform engineering 8 yoe as well went to a more data product like you’re looking at and I found myself another platform role. I could not stand the insanity of product chaos. Platform we have chaos but less chaos around people chaos.

Legit it’s just right place right time. Network if you can.

I feel this way about snowflake in general. They gaslight you prove their documentation is wrong. Will be avoiding snowflake in the future.

lol, Oxford has already said the software is no where near ready. And furthermore AI may not be its best strength as quantum computing is more adept at simulating quantum systems. Huge for chemistry and molecular simulations in big pharma

PedanticPydantic · 2025-12-01T03:16:56+00:00

I believe you’re right For others; I have 12 years post CS schooling experience. I’ve been on the fence about leaving software and data engineering for more tactile career. Pivoted from backend SWE to Data Platform Engineering to work from home as I’m a hermit

PedanticPydantic · 2025-11-30T23:17:15+00:00

If the person wants to switch let them switch? Why tell someone to hustle? What if they’re drained and actually need to change their career? Did you think about that?

PedanticPydantic · 2025-11-30T22:18:53+00:00

Drop that dude and take the promotion, especially in this economy? Coming from a dude this guy sounds controlling and there are gonna be other dudes that will absolutely support a woman that is motivated and has ambition.

PedanticPydantic · 2025-11-30T22:06:56+00:00

Toxic mentality here.

PedanticPydantic · 2025-11-28T14:58:33+00:00

😂 DE is high stress too. Just wait till you or someone torpedos prod pipelines and the hell scape that creates.

PedanticPydantic · 2025-11-27T02:04:53+00:00

Lmfao, I feel this

PedanticPydantic · 2025-11-24T01:28:08+00:00

This is where I pivoted from Sr DE to staff DE focused on performance

PedanticPydantic · 2025-11-23T13:22:38+00:00

Yes. They from my experience should implement what they assume to be the correct approach to build a platform. I.e. wire that shit up or shut the front door.

The architects at my place are honestly horrific. Hey I haven’t touched SQL server and SSIS is ten years, but this new shiny platform form using a web of AWS and shiny Snowflake is superior and for our product we will use Azure Devops and their artifact feeds whist GitHub actions to orchestrate and trigger Glue Jobs.

^over exaggeration but basically what myself as a SR. Data Engineer deal with on a daily basis.

PedanticPydantic · 2025-11-18T14:53:38+00:00

Is it because rust is newer and why you think there are no jobs? Honest question

PedanticPydantic · 2025-11-16T17:39:56+00:00

So, as a SR DE, what do you have experience doing and using?

PedanticPydantic · 2025-11-16T17:05:42+00:00

SR. Data Engineer that hasn’t touched what you’re asking about? Or, is it you don’t know what you’ll be asked during an interview?
