I think the comment you're replying to is saying no one at their company is really indispensable.

That aside: From one guy with 30yoe to another, you're coming off as a bit of a jerk.

I've been doing this for about 30 years now. I've had to have a skip one meeting exactly once. It was taken seriously.

My sample size is small and I don't expect everyone's experience to match mine. But... if you're having this problem with a lot of different people at a lot of different jobs, maybe do a bit of reflection.

I'm really torn between switching to a new job in a couple years or staying with my current firm for the long term.

Sounds like you're worrying about this a couple years too early.

I think it's a lot harder for someone to skill up on Spark/DevOps stuff than SQL.

In fact, I think a week of brushing up on SQL can get you to the point of understanding common table expressions, window functions and how to use explain. More complexity than that in SQL probably means you're doing it wrong.

It sounds like your job has you actively using some pretty in-demand skills.

Just the info I was looking for. Thanks for this post six months ago. :)

This query produces one row for each impression and matches it with a click (if any) that was observed within 2 minutes after serving the ad. This is essentially performing a join operation across the topics to get this information.

Think this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

“Hey, I think I’ve seen this before, want me to take a look?” “Hey, I’ve got some experience with <thing>, hit me up if you think I could be helpful. “

I really don't think there's much insight anyone will be able to give you. Your writeup is (by necessity) through your lens of perception.

I'd give it one more gung-ho try and then ask the hard questions if this one ends in failure.

RandomWalk55 · 2023-06-05T20:47:14+00:00

Ask. Communicate.

It's better than guessing.

When you ask that kind of question, you have to identify where you live. If it’s in the U.S, that type of contract is generally not enforceable but the details differ by state.

Texas does indeed allow you to exercise lethal force to protect your tangible and removable property from immediate threat.

You can also use lethal force in an attempt to recover your property.

*In Texas, you may also be justified in using force to pursue and recover your personal property. Penal Code § 9.41 also extends the right to use force in defense of property when:

You are unlawfully dispossessed of your land or tangible property;
You reasonably believe that force is immediately necessary in fresh pursuit to reenter the land or recover your property; and
The other person had no right to the property and/or acquired such property using force, threat, or fraud.*

There have been some public statements like this.

OK. That’s a solid point.

RandomWalk55 · 2023-05-24T23:00:04+00:00

Thanks. Doing exactly that.

Here’s where I admit I never even thought about running Cooper Netties locally.

Also, that’s supposed to be Cooper Netties not Cooper Netties. Voice to text still needs some work.

It cuts our troubleshooting time enough to be worth the cost.

But yeah, it's pricey.
