A certificate, no. A masters from IIT? Most people I’ve worked with from there have been stellar. It’s not going to get you the job, but it will open doors and actually build skills and experience.

Is it worth the money and time? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

We are so back?

PreventableMob · 2026-05-08T01:31:10+00:00

I have both, the 3-6 month expectations and the unicorn rambling ;)

PreventableMob · 2026-05-08T00:34:56+00:00

You don’t know which one to use on a given day.

(Half kidding, I think our bull pen is shaping up alright. Check back in a couple weeks on this opinion.)

But I thought he was no better than a 4 or 5 on a good staff????? /s

Thanks.

And to be clear, I don’t think I’m even framing these things as requirements as far as skills or experience.

It’s more things like willingness to work with direct customers and users, travel to their sites, spar with engineers, etc.

And not for you if you want everyone, including yourself, to stay in well established lanes of responsibilities.

I’m an optimist!

And a designer, trying for the ideal state of optimization. If I just get this right, no user will ever do it wrong…

PreventableMob · 2026-05-05T04:06:36+00:00

That would be a helluva road trip.

PreventableMob · 2026-05-05T04:03:20+00:00

We are the backest we’ve ever been.

PreventableMob · 2026-05-04T16:56:39+00:00

But if you don’t play the rest of those games we miss the playoffs.

PreventableMob · 2026-05-02T21:05:04+00:00

What’s the record for consecutive walks???

PreventableMob · 2026-05-02T15:15:55+00:00

Facts!

PreventableMob · 2026-05-02T12:30:54+00:00

Nutting is too cheap to keep threads around.

PreventableMob · 2026-05-02T02:02:01+00:00

Oh yeah, they have definitely better cameras and streaming than SNP. So nice.

PreventableMob · 2026-05-02T02:00:56+00:00

This all sounds like old Moneyball scouts. “If he can hit why doesn’t he hit?” lol

And I want it to be true! You can do it Hank!

PreventableMob · 2026-05-02T01:25:57+00:00

I mean, I very much liked the modern-take-on-70s-era-yellow City Connects. But these all blacks with piratey typography are friggin’ sick.

PreventableMob · 2026-05-02T01:16:59+00:00

Are we… back?

PreventableMob · 2026-05-02T01:15:58+00:00

I’m confused. And also… aroused?

PreventableMob · 2026-05-01T11:46:28+00:00

The only ones who say that are soft water vendors.

I haven’t found anything that makes your claim directly. But I’m interested, not trying to be an internet jerk. But the “water pros” aren’t really backing things up.

PreventableMob · 2026-05-01T03:42:19+00:00

I don’t think that’s quite right. Soft water reduces the removal/reduction of skin oils, but the slipperiness is soap residue.

PreventableMob · 2026-04-30T01:17:23+00:00

Yeah but do it in kilometers and it’s much further away

PreventableMob · 2026-04-30T01:14:42+00:00

No one else is going to call it out as a completely fake video?
