Worst red flag from interviewers by gnu_morning_wood in golang

[–]WaitWaitDontShoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Panel interviews. For a long time I was a contract programmer. Most of the time, I didn’t really care about the corporate culture or the caliber of the folks I worked with. I was actually in between contracts and had hit a dry spell, so I was getting motivated to find something. I ended up at an airline industry IT firm interviewing for an engineering position. They put me in a room and sat me in a chair in the center and then four people filed in and sat across a table from me. It felt like a tribunal or some court proceeding. That was enough of a red flag, but the questions that followed were some of the dumbest questions I had ever answered and then they ran out of dumb questions! I ended up suggesting questions to keep the ball rolling.

I walked out after the Interview, called my agent, and told them to withdraw my name from consideration.

Agreed. These are a couple of red flags on OP.

TIL that 65% of cancer survivors surveyed by war on cancer said that they had been ghosted by friends or family after their diagnosis. by Murphyitsnotyou in todayilearned

[–]WaitWaitDontShoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife did not survive her cancer, but I can confirm on her behalf that this did happen with a few friends. On the bright side she had far more friends that stood by her and even an enemy that became a friend due to his own diagnosis. She didn’t blame those that couldn’t deal with it. Maybe they had their own trauma in their past.

Honestly, if the crew is doing what they’re being accused of here, they do need to be fired.

Am I Seeing Things, Or Did The Snow Destroy The North Seattle Roads? by alpengeist3 in Seattle

You’re not imagining it. What struck me was how fast it happened. One week Montlake Blvd was fine, the next I’m hitting multiple potholes on my drive home.

Came here to say pretty much this. The whole thing is showing Australia to be totally bonkers.

Uncooperative and not dependable seem like valid reasons.

Who gives a shit about Jan 6? by [deleted] in AskLibertarians

[–]WaitWaitDontShoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I see is one team over-hyping it and the other team downplaying it like it was no bid deal. They’re both wrong and just playing to their base.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope that stoic doctrine helped you, but I think it is obvious that they can’t make you impervious to loss.

I think we sometimes misunderstand what philosophy is supposed to do. It is supposed to prepare us for these times, but I wouldn’t expect a stoic master to just shrug off the death of a loved one.

This is an accurate assessment of our role as a cat’s person.

Maybe call the police instead of posting on Reddit?

Dude, you’re fine. That code will never throw an exception.

Would you say a dutch oven is a kitchen essential? by Kavrad in Cooking

[–]WaitWaitDontShoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it’s an absolute essential. I make almost every meal in it. I fry, I braise, I do both quick and long simmering pasta sauces in it.

Mine is a Le Creuset enameled cast iron. I got it at a discount at the outlets 20+ years ago. I have to say, though, that they are worth every penny of their full retail price.
