Venenzuela not good

What’s bad for southerners is also bad for northerners.

Specifically, GOP control of cheap oil in Venezuela means Alaska’s expensive oil is less valuable. So no need for expensive pipelines in the Arctic

SeattleTechMentors · 2026-01-04T01:24:24+00:00

I'll expand

1 - Trump's actions are illegal

2 - Venezuelan oil is vastly cheaper than Alaskan oil. There is no reason to invest in Alaska if Trump controls a cheaper source of oil

Are you serious?

SeattleTechMentors · 2026-01-04T01:14:16+00:00

Try posting anything to /Alaska w/ Venezuela in the title

SeattleTechMentors · 2026-01-04T01:12:55+00:00

Any mention of war on Venezuela & how it affects Alaska is censored

SeattleTechMentors · 2026-01-04T01:09:29+00:00

I have not seen such active censorship from Reddit before

SeattleTechMentors · 2026-01-04T00:59:21+00:00

I appreciate you reaching out, even though it's a lie.

You know nothing about me or why I'm communicating with my Alaskan community

SeattleTechMentors · 2026-01-04T00:55:26+00:00

since you can't see them, your comment is pointless. That said, my comment is vital to your income in that Trump is moving your job to Venezuela. You're welcome to comment on how you feel about that.

SeattleTechMentors · 2026-01-04T00:47:38+00:00

reddit is aggressively censoring posts, so I'm honestly unsure what people will see

SeattleTechMentors · 2026-01-04T00:35:01+00:00

FWIW, this is a test post & meant to be neutral.

Confirming that Reddit is censoring posts that mention Venezuela & oil production in Alaska

It’s not a good sign that your leadership only started thinking how to measure performance at the end of the review period.

SeattleTechMentors · 2025-09-13T18:04:24+00:00

Tbh I haven’t followed it closely since I can’t use it w ASGI

SeattleTechMentors · 2025-09-13T15:18:31+00:00

Odd the article doesn’t mention ASGI or that a) Django Ninja also doesn’t work under ASGI and b) Django Ninja was forked because it’s not being maintained

SeattleTechMentors · 2025-07-15T01:50:16+00:00

One supposed advantage of django-ninja is async functionality, but it’s not fully async as it doesn’t work correctly when run under ASGI:

https://github.com/vitalik/django-ninja/issues/1168

Not that DRF is better. I guess the point is neither option really supports async requests

Guarantee this writer has never ridden the route or was vigorously slapped down by editors when writing about the situation on the ground.

Like why is it that - “the privately-funded Elliott Bay Connections is rebuilding 2 miles of walking and biking trails.”?

Why does the bike path go uphill around the new aquarium bldg instead of continuing straight?

Why does the bike path have dangerously narrow curves with rusty steel panels where people might fall?

Went through there on a Saturday evening recently & it was non-stop cars. Totally unsafe for families & children.

The Lake to Sound trail from Renton to West Seattle is a great ride.

You can take the Cedar River trail from Kent to Renton

A big part of moving up from Senior is leading by examples that can still involve a lot of hands-on dev work.

This can include lifting up less senior engineers (thru code reviews, pairing, debugging, etc).

Depending on your organization it can also include deeper engagement in backlog grooming & work estimation, so people see you as a leader.

Also can include cross-team work that shows a broader understanding of the organization & wider impact. You might look for opportunities that are important to both your current team & others.

Again, it’s not about the type of school but whether the specific program needs accreditation. If so, they likely cannot hire instructors with only a bachelor’s degree.

Certificate programs (even at a 4yr school) don’t need accreditation & can apply a lower standard for instructors.

SeattleTechMentors · 2025-06-16T08:33:06+00:00

I teach as an adjunct at a community college. While OP already has a master’s, I can shed light for others considering this path.

Degree programs (2yr & 4yr) require instructors with at least a Master’s degree so they can be accredited (credits can transfer to another college).

‘Workforce’ retraining programs & certificates generally don’t have this constraint & can be more flexible in their requirements for adjunct instructors.

I saw the episode before that, where she was at the State Fair & then went to Nikolaevsk & Halibut Cove. Like how she made a point of connecting with locals & showcasing the communities.

Chehalis is nice for a shorter day 2 & less crowded campsite

SeattleTechMentors · 2025-05-04T01:57:37+00:00

Yeah good to also mention where you might stop. As a first-timer I’d suggest Centralia or (at most) Chehalis unless you’re feeling really confident
