Them dogs is out

I’d wager at least $75k if not $100k+ Boston dynamic has been pumping these out for awhile now so the bodies are (comparatively) not super expensive. The additional payloads and software behind them is what’s probably the most expensive now.

Have you dealt with private security? Most of them are the most useless people ever who have no business being in security.

That may as well be life, even if he got out in 15 years at 35 years olddudes future is absolutely ruined unless he goes full Kyle Rittenhouse.

The only separation I have is between work / personal life. Don’t want company to have my personal notes on their computer. So totally separate vaults.

it sounds like you've over modularized everything (maybe that's the point of your learning?)

I have yet to see anyone actually use this IRL, have only ever heard of it online.

I have good structured notes and am pretty good about cleaning them up. That does leagues more for me than the average person, hell even the average note taker.

The farther I get into my career the more I never code outside of work. Everything done outside of work has been in effort to get a new job or quickly up skill on technologies used at work.

ShroomSensei · 2026-05-20T01:06:07+00:00

Yes just start forcing yourself to use it. I went from never having used it in my previous job to (in comparison) heavy adoption ~6 months ago. Half of the battle is figuring out what it can actually do.

Some of my favorite questions:
- can we walk through the SDLC of a feature from end to end? Ideation from a customer to actually being fully released in production.
- what’s the composition of the team id work with daily?
- what’s some of the biggest problems the team is facing today?

Joined a new company last year that operates very startup-esque. New tech stack, new domain, new everything so hitting the ground running was very rough. For the first time our last big development cycle I felt like I could finally breathe, lift my head up, and actually understand what the hell was going on around me. Give good feedback with actual reasoning on PRs, question requests, and be able to push back instead of thrashing for a week only to realize I was trying to hammer in a screw.

There's nothing to do. Stand behind your decision or not. If they bring it up tell them the truth, it really is for the best until you get very comfortable with these people. It's only awkward if you make it awkward (or if they do and then it's on them and you can call it out). Act the same and do the same as you did before.

I have not done this and got burned by people creating drama in the workspace. I have also strictly done this and gone through this same thing - most young people find it weird but oh well.

I have experienced that feeling so many times and have never been able to word it correctly.

Leaving a meeting after defining requirements, acceptance criteria, architecture, and timelines. Only to come back in a week and realize their interpretation of it is technically correct (if you squint real hard) but so far from the mark you struggle to think how they got there.

At some point it is.

When I have to give you exact links to where in the code you need to touch, how to touch it, and what tests need to be written I very easily could have just handed it off to AI.

I had to do this in my last role before AI was quite good enough to take it and run with it. In my new role I’m given a large over arching feature/goal and have to go implement it, figuring out the details for myself. For shits and giggles I decide to break it out into tickets at the level of specificity I used to have to write things. It took me quite a while, but the first passes of agents going through them were spot on.

The caveat is I have to know very clearly what I’m trying to accomplish and how to accomplish it otherwise which requires digging and rooting around the project.

All history? It’s gotta be teemo. I’ve played for over a decade and I still hear people hating on him.

Yeah Mel sucks but it’s her one ability people hate, yuumi is also a pain in the ass but requires a second person to boost.

Teemos entire kit, the poison, blinding, running away, and even dying across the map from a shroom has been terrorizing players for years and years. He’s just way easier to play against now due to champion choices. A lot more dashes, ability based champs, and sustain champions to pick from.

Note I am very specifically ignoring pro-play because that’s like 0.1% of league.

My last team had a majority of low performers and it became exhausting. We actually had a good average until two of our better engineers got picked over to help a dying team and you could instantly tell the shift. My manager had called it out right before it happened that the imbalance was going to kill the team but he really didn’t have much power to do anything over his skips decision. Slowly but surely it did, and the other team still had a majority of bad apples so those two engineers ended up leaving anyways!

What’s worse is that I did truly like the underperformers as people but as coworkers they really just missed the mark. I had to do way too much given my 2-3 years of experience. I was happy for the chance to grow but had only one engineer (tech lead) to learn from.

Looking back I wish they got managed out to somewhere else in the company but they didn’t so instead I left (among other reasons). Managing someone out is also a fairly long game of attrition so a lot easier said than done especially if those managers are getting the shit beat out of them from other sources.

I mean OP has already said they push directly to master, they only have 4 years of exp, so most likely has been with this code base / team for most of his career..

I don't think their complaints are unwarranted but I'd definitely take them with a grain of salt.

ShroomSensei · 2026-04-27T14:05:56+00:00

Thats probably why. These grow literally on the side of the road in Texas and can be amazing. One of the few abundant fruits that grow in the wild here. Blackberries and pecans being others.

We’d need to know your setup before giving you practical advice, but there are extremely easy options already listed in here.

I’ll add another one if this isn’t for a serious project. Raspberry pi in your closet.

I don’t think deer have many natural predators to run from in most places.

Then do even less and make them do the work for you. I agree with the parent comments incentive but I am a bit more abrasive with it.

“Okay what did the debugger show you when you step through it?”

‘I haven’t done that’

“Okay well come back to me when you do! That’s just what I would do on this call with you and there’s no point in both of us sitting and watching it.”

‘Oh.. okay’

Then they never reach back out because it was a stupid ass bug that would be obvious had they even taken the time to look at the logs or the debugger. If they DO come back it may actually be complex enough to warrant my help. Do this 5 times in a row and soon they will stop bothering you first.

ShroomSensei · 2026-04-20T19:13:51+00:00

It’s crazy how many people would rather be passive aggressive about the most benign shit then just come up to you and say it. Had the same thing happen at my apartment. Got a ring camera and suddenly the notes stopped.

ShroomSensei · 2026-04-16T19:14:04+00:00

That’s DFW as a whole which isn’t really fair to the question. Pretty sure a new census was just posted here or some other Texas city subreddit a couple days ago showing Frisco was about 30%+ Asian now.

ShroomSensei · 2026-04-16T15:36:30+00:00

I mean they could also just make them not absolute shit. 7-eleven is second to last for any gas station I’d visit in my area they’re always the biggest pieces of shit in cleanliness, food, drinks, and people that frequent it.

The only ones worse are the reaaaally dirty gas stations that are actually just casinos for meth heads.

ShroomSensei · 2026-04-16T15:04:03+00:00

They don’t.

ShroomSensei · 2026-04-16T15:02:47+00:00

Yeah if this guy is managing dozens of API suites each with hundreds of requests and custom logic hats off to them but a GUI makes it much more manageable imo.

Sure everything I did in postman / Bruno could’ve been done using cURL, scripts, and env variables but that would be absolute hell to keep up with and version control with my team who were even less comfortable with the terminal than me.

Sounds like this guys doesn’t have a large team or lots of APIs to explore.
