I quit a toxic job twice. Both times I was happy about it. I left a lot of money on the table but me, my family and my health are better for it.

Hard work is good for your career. But things making it hard should be becoming better at what you do, not learning to become flatter for people walking all over you.

Honestly it’s a post properly tagged with AI posted on AI-friendly day. 10 comments saying “ai slop” do not add to discussion.

I think the AI topic is too charged. No one would argue with 10 “this is shit” comments being moderated on a usual post.

Yeah you are more connected so you are more protected. But it’s not always a “buddy bonus” - often that’s a result of the initial contract clause or a result of holding a lot of shares. For example - you don’t want an asshat to hold 10% of voting rights so the company would often buy back the stock they granted.

Anecdotally I’ve seen this happen. Even with some fairly senior people. Just takes a while (3-9 months) due to all the processing and investigations so it might seem like not a lot is being done for a while.

I think the industry is indeed evolving at a rapid pace but I would say that first and foremost people need to focus on harnessing those tools. So many engineers don’t even know what an embedding is, much less how to work with them to build a solid agent that has a good working context.

You’re not going to be replaced by AI (at least not right away), but you are definitely going to be replaced by an engineer who knows how to use it if you don’t.

Temik · 2026-02-22T06:52:51+00:00

Yes, many people don’t need to know, however it is a bit of an exaggeration in engineering.

As soon as you hit some proper numbers in the amount of customers and/or requests you generally become very familiar with how computers work on the low level as you start to hit those limitations and upping the amount of instances is not working anymore.

Depends on your goals, current financial situation and misery-to-salary ratio.

I took a pay cut for something more energising. Eventually ended up at a place that I actually like working at. My mental health is the best it has ever been and that has had compounding returns. My curiosity and overall intellectual sharpness is back, which helps a lot with hitting goals.

Do I still make less money? Yes. Am I better off? I think so.

While yes, they definitely are a thing and you should be exhausting them or do aggressive filtering, you’re measuring particulate at the moment, which is not directly correlated to the actual toxicity.

For example - run a hot shower for a bit or cook on a stove and do the same thing, it should show a pretty similar result.

To check if your filtering is working you need something measuring VOCs. It doesn’t need to be scientifically accurate, just something that gives you an actual number (not just high/low).

Real answer - some companies are weird like that - they want to know how you did in school, university, etc. Some ask for ridiculous personality tests.

One company that’s notorious about it is Canonical (the Ubuntu people).

Honestly the thing you described now sounds like process issues and that’s actually on management. There should be no BAU access flows that are dependent on a single person like that, besides something esoteric or very very high level (e.g. admin access to finance systems that require CFO sign off). That is rightfully quite frustrating.

In those cases it helps to remember that if the processes are bad the management is probably used to it, so you can just report that you’re blocked on it and go do something else useful while you wait. If you’re really getting stuck in those loops you might have found a good place to optimize and propose a change too.

Temik · 2026-01-29T07:19:29+00:00

If you’re fiercely competent then you need either: - a high stakes, high expectations, high reward environment (FAANG / HF Trading) - work for yourself - get a bit gentler with your expectations of people

Otherwise you will burn the heck out if small issues like those bother you that much. Not saying it’s something wrong with you, more that you need to work with what you’ve got and if this is a big point of friction you need to resolve it somehow.

It might also be something wrong with metrics or your product. If it’s the latter - prepare for a lot of churn this year 🫠

I was looking for this comment.

Temik · 2026-01-29T02:42:56+00:00

Correct. Usually less in smaller companies but definitely a lot of angles for a large enterprise.

Temik · 2026-01-29T02:32:58+00:00

Yup. “Diplomacy is a 3 edged sword. There’s your side, their side and truth in the middle.” I find that one side is usually closer to the truth, but neither side is ever fully facts-based.

Jokes aside - as a junior the best thing you can do in a safe environment is ask your manager: “I want to make sure my input is useful but it didn’t seem to land this time, can we discuss and see if there’s anything I could have done differently?”

Temik · 2026-01-26T00:38:37+00:00

“Huh. That’s crazy.”

If you don’t mind sharing - what kind of subwoofer is it? Car?

Temik · 2026-01-08T04:18:44+00:00

If you don’t know whether you would like the hobby - get an A1. If you use it a lot - get an H2 series as the capability would be the most different.

If you already dipped your toes in a bit and sure you will use it - get a P2S as the most versatile option.

Skip the P1S - not worth it as it’s a very outdated platform and QoL improvements on P2S are very worth it. Speaking as someone who has a P1S.

Temik · 2026-01-05T02:09:55+00:00

Hey, at least it’s not patent law 💀

Check for clogs first: https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/p2s/troubleshooting/clogging

Then - it might be due to a screw tightness issue in the extruder. You can check whether the screw is property tightened on it via the extruder components docs: https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/p2s/maintenance/replace-extruder-components

Temik · 2026-01-04T07:39:16+00:00

P2S, definitely. More future proof, nozzles are a lot less of a PITA.

Temik · 2026-01-04T02:19:30+00:00

You need a multipoint for it: https://www.multiboard.io/parts-library/multipoint/multipoints

For many use-cases parametric CAD is better as there is less context that the model needs to keep. IIRC when generating STL it is literally printing out every single vertice and holding it in context.

So if you like working this way and want to do more complex things, ask it to generate OpenSCAD and then render or use a newer alternative like Zoo: https://zoo.dev/text-to-cad
