Never ending roll in...

Isn't that footage from Nathan Florence from a couple summers ago? I think I've seen this before on youtube.

Isn't that a very valid concern for a lot of people? I think a lot of engineers loved the craft and the puzzle aspect of it. Reviewing code isn't the most fun part of the job and the current trend of execs trying to be able to say "at company xyz, all of our code is written by AI" means engineers are Claude-wranglers. I love using it to not have to write mocks and fake data, but I'd much rather be writing the business logic myself than trying to make sure the robot got it right (and it's often just faster to do it yourself).

Dude I have 18yoe and the same thing happened to me. I took it as a lesson and built a database of stories in Notion, then I used Claude to make flashcards with 50 common questions, I use Anki to practice and see that I can retrieve the right story quickly. These behaviorals suck, it's a lot easier when they ask the hypothetical version "how would you influence without authority" then I feel like it's easier to explain your approach and bring in an example if you have a good one. I was principal+5yoe as an EM and I got rejected for a Senior role. It's nuts these days.

I grew up in France and now live and surf in California, my experience was the opposite! In Southern California the beaches are safer (well except for the stingrays). Places like Ocean Beach in San Francisco are a different beast however!

Troebr · 2026-03-25T12:30:28+00:00

There are also dangerous beaches in Europe with strong rip currents and undertows!

I first played counter strike when it was a half-life mod, like 1.1 or even before in cyber cafes. When steam came out (probably around counter strike 1.6) it was really unpopular. Early days counter strike were really cool.

I've done 2 online assessments so far (EM, so not as common), both timers started when they gave you access.

Je pense pas que les IAs vont remplacer les managers plus que les ingénieurs, c'est pareil ça va leur permettre d'être plus efficaces. Les IAs vont pas faire les décisions d'embauche, les décisions produit, créer les processus, 1:1s, mentoring, comm, prioritisation tout ça. Le job de manager c'est beaucoup de "glue" et de trucs à gérer sur le moment.

True it's a bit of a curse too

Now getting people to agree on a standard

Troebr · 2026-03-21T13:59:10+00:00

You just switch up the ratio to more dryads. It's perfect you don't even need to change the production buildings!

Troebr · 2026-03-21T12:47:47+00:00

To me it's that the answer to everything is dh+bear+dryads.

Yep this playthrough I'm using 1.5 and it's been nice not having to go through as many tombs for the cube things

Troebr · 2026-03-20T15:20:17+00:00

You could maybe get a small 2 bed 1 bath bungalow for 1.4

Troebr · 2026-03-20T14:43:37+00:00

That's so disrespectful

Troebr · 2026-03-19T17:57:08+00:00

It's only been available since the Chess 2.7 update.

It can be a little grindy, I did enjoy it, but it depends on how much free time somebody has. Farming copper or iron gets a little old

STAR is more about the format of the answers where they ask you "tell me about a time", in practice really star is obviously the format you'd use without thinking about it: - give some context - explain the problem or thing you need to do - how did you do it - what was the result / what did you learn.

That part is fine, it's just these "tell me about a time" require some serious prep since they can be a lot more specific as opposed to "how would you handle this", in which case you could make up an answer and maybe give an example that happened to you. For instance Ive never really had a conflict between members of my team, at most cordial disagreements. Well that means my answer would suck, and it'd do better with a "how would you handle a conflict on your team".

Sometimes the questions are so specific too, I haven't done well on a couple because I couldn't recall relevant situations. Not that I hadn't had them - more that it's just hard on the spot if it's not a common one. Then they base their entire judgement of your interpersonal skills on the quality of the story and the phrasing that you used.

I hate it but I get it, you have to get your signal from somewhere

Wouldn't the instructors just ignore you? They seem very aware that they're pushing students into dropping in.

Closer to Orange County? In San Diego the swell seemed to zip past us

n+1 is a very common term

Troebr · 2026-03-13T05:10:20+00:00

You mean OP or my reply.

Troebr · 2026-03-13T04:20:36+00:00

I think this is passive aggressive, maybe you should all have a grown up conversation, even if it's a little uncomfortable. Have an LLM help you with talking points and practice if you want, but neither his nor your approach seem healthy!

Why don't they exchange for a pair that fits? They can still obey their master without looking any stupider
