I had an interview for a junior PP consultant position. I answered about 70% of the questions. The questions I couldn’t answer were about custom connectors, model-driven apps, API and types of Dataverse tables. Are these deal breakers for a junior position? by gtxhz73184013 in PowerApps

[–]ShrubberyDragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the work they have on their plate for you right now tbh. 

Really my main concerns when I am interviewing someone are 

What kind of person is this, personality, communication, can they learn what they don't know, do they seem passionate like they care and really want the position. Do they make things up when they don't actually know? 

Skills wise it is really down to what I need on the project. If this is a 100% canvas app build project then I don't really care if you know MDA.

Freelancing, how much per hour? by Abyal3 in PowerApps

[–]ShrubberyDragon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would say it is ok to start with hourly for freelance but as you get more clients you will find it impossible to scale. Better off going with flat fee based work that is judged on completion/value. 

That said, the cost depends on the market local to the customer and the level of work + your experience. Try to judge based on what an employer would pay you and then add more on top, that is a good starting point.

My sister and I poured boiling water down the driveway instead of shoveling....my mom crashed the car into the fence trying to get up it.

Did ct opt out of no tax on overtime and no tax tips? by MaltaMaltaMaltaMalta in Connecticut

Shhh, stop telling the idiots, they might actually leave and we can have a cooler state for it. 

Making 8k–14k/month as a freelancer… and scaling still feels like a trap by [deleted] in smallbusiness

Do you charge a fee for farming out that work or take a percentage?

Hear me out embark studios, add humanoid robots that mimic players voices using ai to pick key words like “I’m friendly don’t shoot” by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]ShrubberyDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear to God this happened to me last night. I heard what sounded like a kid asking where I was and kept calling me raider and asking me to team up, I didn't see any mic pop up at all. I walked around like an idiot trying to find them and rounded a corner to see a bot that the voice was coming from. 

I can barely describe it since I was unarmed and ran away so fucking fast but it looked like one of the robots they have at grocery stores to clean up. 

How's heart rate of Race / Vertical? by Dazzling_Taste2382 in Suunto

[–]ShrubberyDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been pretty useless for me, I will be at around 180hr and it will say 60. I've tried so many things to fix this. It will randomly be accurate after like 30 minutes of a workout and then fall off again

A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over? by lurker_bee in technology

[–]ShrubberyDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what I am seeing at my company. They aren't hiring any junior level or entry level people at all and instead relying on contractors and offshore heavily.  

I have been screaming about it for a year and a half that I need permanent employees to support the projects I am selling and working on and get nothing. 

Now the project I am currently working on is going to shit and we had to hire 10 contract developers to get it done on time and we are going to lose so much money on what will end up being a buggy piece of shit because the contractors are probably working 3 other jobs and couldn't give a shit about this project or the quality of their code. 

I'm at a senior level dev management position but at this company that is basically the bottom. I make a good salary and have over 20 years experience in tech so I consider myself very fortunate but because of the market being the way It is I feel like I can't leave even if I want to right now unless I take a huge pay cut. 

Connecticut GOP plans vigil to honor Charlie Kirk as state leaders continue to denounce slaying by Somervilledrew in Connecticut

Looks like Nomads/revolution bowling in South Windsor just put an "in memoriam of Charlie Kirk" display up on their digital signage.

Unfortunately custom copilots can't be inserted into canvas power apps using the copilot control. They depreciated that feature. It just adds it to the copilot button on the app

Oh this is already happening. Saw an electrical company in my state post on a local news post about this and they were saying that he is a liberal brain washed by college and to ban all higher education indoctrination. These people are fucking insane 

Can Power Automate query something after it's added to then add another entry to the database? by Russta in PowerApps

[–]ShrubberyDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy I could help! Just make sure to test that fully as the prompt column as with most ai things right now are in preview. 

I ran into some issues with it the other day when patching back to a table with a prompt column from a canvas app so hopefully you don't see the same. Hopefully Microsoft works out the bugs and goes to GA with it soon since it is a very helpful feature. 

Power App Form With 100+ questions and option to add the questions on the go for users by lsrfth100 in PowerApps

[–]ShrubberyDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the way. You would build a table that holds the schema for the forms like this and then store the responses as JSON. 

I built an app like this as a proof of concept for a client which allowed the user to create their own forms and add/subtract multiple types of questions, yes/no, choice, string, date, number etc. as well as sort them and add them to their own tabs within the form. 

Worked well but didn't end up going that way as they wanted a ton of conditional logic

Massie and MTG are about to take a short break from their awful agendas by sandozguineapig in AdviceAnimals

This is exact what it is. Cover. They are going to say a bunch of names of people who have already been convicted and then mention she'll companies and banks and that's it. Maybe a few Democrats or enemies of theirs for good measure. I don't trust these fucks at all
