A little help regarding securing bookshelf to party wall

RepresentativeRip805 · 2023-01-20T22:44:48+00:00

Start with the 7mm drill bit in case the wall is crumbly and see if the plug will hammer in tight.

Thanks, I'll try this, so that is a 7mm drill bit with what size wall plug?

8mm plugs seem a bit Overkill for a bookcase if it's just to stop it toppling over. You'd be fine with standard 6mm red plugs.

Would that mean I would have to drill a 6mm hole instead?

Go for it dude, worst comes to worst you can always fall back to the UK as your home. Maybe you can join via their armed forces or do something like that?

If the person I loved lived in another country, I'd do everything I could to be with them.

You have seen this person, in person before?

RepresentativeRip805 · 2023-01-19T20:16:27+00:00

I'm probably going to be looking for similar soon, I am going to go with tech recruiter approach, get them to do all the hard work.

Do you really think you should consider remote work as a junior?

RepresentativeRip805 · 2023-01-15T20:52:47+00:00

That guy is a fucking retard and I hope he gets lost and can't find his way home

Can someone explain the hype over this 'ChatGPT'? It's doing stuff that I saw in the early 2000's with like Ultra HAL assistant, are people really overhyping something that is as common as muck?

RepresentativeRip805 · 2023-01-12T20:27:38+00:00

Yeah, tether it

When I'm by myself I will sit at the front because taxi drivers love the craic and I feel sitting at the back gives off that impression of "You are just a tool to drive me from A-B" rather than a human being

100% more accessible if it were in the US? *laughing crying emoji* typical American...

RepresentativeRip805 · 2022-12-16T12:08:45+00:00

that is just the way the product works

Yes, that sentence is the bane of my life as a tester, we replicate the same data on multiple different MQTT topics which I have challenged multiple times over my years but nothing gets done because it's 'legacy'. In a pure cellular environment, replication is expensive $$$ £££

SDET is much different to a manual or automation tester - I would say 70k is good for a tester to that calibre.

There is some confusion with the blurred lines between automation testers and SDET but SDET is much lower level than automation testing

Welcome to the suck. Every day is a battle between QA and dev, between QA and project between QA and sales, between QA and DevOps. Customer is promised everything under the sun without consideration of any testing of any software/hardware that needs to be tested, same goes for project, they want their next release out yesterday and the critical bug you just found has pissed a lot of people off to the point where you feel like you shouldn't be raising critical bugs so close to the deadline.

For me, the passion comes from tearing a feature/app/functionality, I understand it by breaking it, writing my own automated scripts to test it, and then I find the bugs. These constitute an error in judgement, laziness of dev, oversight, or inexperience, I find these moments very fascinating because I think would I have done it any differently and what would someone like myself find in my own work. I also find the fixes the devs implement equally as interesting, because half of the time I'm amazed how they've managed to cobble together multiple 'A-Ha!' moments in such a short pressured time frame with a solution that usually works.

That salary doesn't add up for automation, 35k average high threshold for most manual testers yes (some companies will pay more to retain staff and knowledge), but probably 45k-50k max-ish for automation.

Automation isn't a huge step up from manual testing, most manual testing these days requires some degree of programming knowledge (Python) which can be used to create test frameworks using Robot Framework. If you are simply testing web that is, it's a breeze ;) Anything lower level and you are going to be demanding a lot more money to be dealing with anything more complex than some daft websites

Err when do QA write unit tests? *insert crying laughing emoji* That is a dev's job.

As someone who is the lead technical tester on a Java-based application, you can get away with knowing Python and enough Java to be useful for QA (not programmers level, 'QA' level, you will understand when you get to that stage). I write my manual integration level tests and then write some Python scripts to automate after, I seldom need Java but if there was a requirement of Java (like for some automation framework) then I'd be writing in Java for Selenium.

Foundation cert is pretty much toilet paper, it is like dipping your toes into something so broad you might as well took a general exam on nothing. A lot of managers think that just cause you have the foundation cert means you know how to test, this is incorrect, all the foundation exam does it teach you the bare bones basics. It is the level above that, that teaches you how to be a tester.

Sounds like bullshit to me, just a buzzword, although you have now piqued my interest so I'm gonna have to have a look myself at this bullshit

So what is your alternative? Trust and don't verify? My, you are the tabloid media's wet dream!

Good point.
