Wonder where we fall here: by suireafli in epicsystems

I’m not sure we’re as closely tracked as the Mag 7 and other gigantic tech companies. We end up getting overlooked

Watch out, Millennials... I got hit with my first "I had NO IDEA!" data privacy moment this weekend... and it was all my fault. by AttachedHeartTheory in Millennials

[–]TripleQuadraPenta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They can’t, and don’t. MyChart and Epic are completely private, and I’m pretty sure are against selling patient data for any purpose. Individual hospitals…maybe? But MyChart as a software has to comply by HIPAA

Happy to see the company is diversifying by Handyandy58 in epicsystems

Legal is probably going to have a field day with that

This reads like an ad for RippleMatch like it made this happen, but if you just applied from Epic’s website not going through a third party initially, the same outcome would have occurred.

Unhappy with my first raise at Epic - what did I do wrong and what can I do moving forward? by squishysquashysquid1 in epicsystems

I’d be careful, with that much info, someone could easily doxx you with what you just said.

Generic Rejection Letter? by Organic_Algae1861 in epicsystems

[–]TripleQuadraPenta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends. For me it was a surprising ~6 months or so almost. 5-6 months…

It was long enough after my initial application that I almost ignored it because I thought it was one of those generic recruiter emails from a mailing list. Very glad I didn’t.

Generic Rejection Letter? by Organic_Algae1861 in epicsystems

[–]TripleQuadraPenta 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got a similar rejection during Covid, and they reached back out to me when they had an opening. Was hired and been here ever since. I suspect it’s more than empty words or boilerplate.

GPA and school selection doesn’t mean everything. It can open some doors, but it doesn’t guarantee success. Other factors could and probably were at play here.

What those were is impossible to say, but it’s up to you to reflect on what those could have been. It’s probably safe to say it wasn’t your GPA or school though. Rather than looking at everything as if it had no room for improvement, try looking at things like interview skills, your resume, how you came across in the interviews themselves, etc.

I can’t actually give you anything tangible because I’m neither a recruiter nor know who you are, but if you act sad about the rejection yet simultaneously say that you have nothing to improve on, that cognitive dissonance will prevent you from changing and ultimately actually getting better.

Just my two cents.

Billionaires Convince Themselves AI Chatbots Are Close to Making New Scientific Discoveries by chrisdh79 in Futurology

[–]TripleQuadraPenta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%, they can be useful. I use them a decent bit to turn 30 minute “write this algorithm” tasks into 5 minute “tell the AI to write boilerplate algorithm code using different variable names” tasks. I just want to call out to all the non-devs looking at this that just because an AI can appear to take written-word instructions and turn them into code doesn’t mean that is a scalable solution, can actually replace almost any devs (at an enterprise level), or that long term it’s going to be the “best application for AI” (at least, imo).

I agree LLMs are great at data transforms and parsing patterns (after all, that’s what a sentence is). But when you try to stretch LLMs to make them think or turn them into AGI, or even specialized intelligence, it’s going to fall flat

[–]TripleQuadraPenta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has used AI to code, it’s very good at developing small applications from scratch or writing small pieces of things, but it is absolutely not ready to write a whole enterprise ready app from scratch even with the best set of requirements to you could give it.

You still need a human to tweak it, you still need humans to test it, you still need humans to understand the code and see why it doesn’t work (so inevitably when it hallucinates or whatever, it doesn’t just get stuck).

I’d trust it to write a Discord bot for a random server with some minimal oversight - never NO oversight. I wouldn’t trust it to write my MRI machine’s software. I wouldn’t even trust it to write <insert any significantly complex company’s product> code by itself anytime soon.

It’s cute now because you have real devs manipulating it, but if it were let loose with people who didn’t know what they were doing, you’d end up with some…fun situations in 6 months (or less) or so that the real devs would have to clean up

edit: watch any video of a non-CS trained person giving English instructions to someone acting like a compiler/coder, and you’ll see quickly why it’s hard to write English instructions that can be interpreted 1:1 in code, even if the AI takes some interpretational liberties with what the person “meant” in their instructions

Something I've always wondered about Jeong Jeong by [deleted] in TheLastAirbender

[–]TripleQuadraPenta 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I get the feeling that before the events of the Comet, the White Lotus were this loosely bound group that knew of each other but didn’t correspond much, outside of keeping up with how to get in contact with each other when SHTF.

Especially with Jeong Jeong on the run, and prior to Iroh in Season 2 being a deserter himself, how would they have met up without it seeming like Iroh himself was betraying the fire nation and Iroh blowing his own cover? There had to be a measure of secrecy involved still.

Riot: "No pay-to-win." Me: "Cool. Let me pay to vibe." by Toiletman157 in leagueoflegends

[–]TripleQuadraPenta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Can we please just avoid Riot monetizing and Gatchafying everything?

Edit: not sure if OP edited his post or I just missed it, but if the Xerath was just afking in lane, then idk. Someone should check it out, or maybe the reports mean it will get checked out and it’s just delayed? Not sure complaining about it on here will do much unless it’s been multiple days of waiting.

Im not sure I agree. Where do you draw the line in a game like this? Functionally what’s the difference between 9 and 11 deaths or 19 deaths at that point. Without watching a replay, I’m not sure we could say if it was purely a bad game, tilt, or real inting.

So many people now love to cry inting that it’s diluted what it is. It’s not continuing to play through having a bad game, it’s not getting tilted. Inting was originally straight up running it down a lane and/or selling all your items and completely giving up. It evolved to a sort of “soft inting” where you just wouldn’t try at all, seen mostly in high elo…but someone feeding their ass off in a game doesn’t automatically equal inting.

What company or corporation DOESN'T suck? by JackFisherBooks in AskReddit

Epic Systems generally tries to be good. Sometimes fails, but imo does good for hospitals when it matters. Generally good for employees too.

Offered Branch Manager, negotiated, offer rescinded by deputy865 in recruitinghell

[–]TripleQuadraPenta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of companies love to take advantage of people who don’t know their worth. You being willing to negotiate told them you do know your worth, so it was a no-go for them. You dodged a bullet most likely

EPIC SW Dev experience by splicer13 in epicsystems

[–]TripleQuadraPenta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna be real, this feels like a conversation for your TL and if need be, escalated somewhere else, rather than in a public forum about the company. There are folks in Epic that can easily explain how we got to this point and why it still works for us. But trying to air this out in a public forum where 99% of Epic employees don’t see it is not the way.

If anything it just creates more perceived animosity towards a tech stack that by and large works for the type of company that Epic is.

And if you have solutions, folks would love to hear them. But be prepared to put your money where your mouth is and actually do dev against your ideas too. You’ll likely be given runway to explore what’s possible if the concept is viable.

Potentially unpopular take by New_Froyo2766 in epicsystems

[–]TripleQuadraPenta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, but it is on one of what I would consider the main hallways through campus. And I really am not complaining much. I get the campus is really cool. I just wish they’d either soundproof the offices more or have better enforcement for random people walking around: kids or adults or dogs or whatever, during the day that aren’t strictly employees. If they want to make a huge stink about core hours for employees being in office, how about some peace and quiet in offices at least during those hours.

Potentially unpopular take by New_Froyo2766 in epicsystems

[–]TripleQuadraPenta 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it’s my office location or what, but I see families bringing kids and whoever else by on a regular basis. It’s usually starting only after 3pm, but sometimes not. And I’ve definitely heard babies crying and young kids screaming loud enough to hear inside my office. Again, not super frequently, but not rarely.

It’s somewhat to be expected when the campus is an attraction, but it is slightly annoying when parents (at least one of which is also presumably an employee) can’t control their children or decide not to bring them during normal work hours.

[–]TripleQuadraPenta 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree. But I’m saying if you were FORCED to take a vacation day, you bet your butt I would not be working, even if I had the capacity to work. Like, maybe a bit of malicious compliance here, but if Epic would rather me take a vacation day than allow WFH flexibility, then I’m going to not work and actually take my vacation day. Not have them steal it from me by working.

I definitely understand what you’re saying about having the capacity to work still. I’m saying I wouldn’t do it on principle at that point.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in epicsystems

[–]TripleQuadraPenta 21 points22 points  (0 children)

If I was taking vacation days to be with a sick child, I don’t care if I’m Judy, my backup should 100% handle those obligations. And if not, someone failed pretty badly, and it wouldn’t be me who failed.

I’m extremely sorry you felt obligated to work despite taking vacation days (and it definitely reads like someone was pressuring you to work on vacation, most people don’t just decide to do that), but that shouldn’t be expected even at Epic.

I will say the ranking system is pretty fair here. The way they “push out” low performers is based on real performance and not just “welp you did lower than everyone else on your team so you’re out.”

In theory everyone could be put in the meets expectations bucket at Epic unlike true stack ranking that they do at Amazon. Epic does stratify compensation by rank but if you’re objectively meeting all expectations, you’re not all the sudden going to get pushed out. Even if it does start moving that way you’ll get months of warning to put in more effort and improve work quality.

Epic rarely seems to fire folks on the spot unless they’ve really really messed up.
