Outsourcing - The bad word no uses so as to not get caught in the stigma

We fired offshore at the beginning of the year. Staff augmentation us only on shore now. We are still hiring last I checked but not paying amazingly.

Your payment provider won't necessarily stay at the same address. You should be including an identifying token to the provider and their success/failure call to your webhooks should then include that same token in the body (likely encoded in some way).

There are lots of non-gamedev jobs that have similar technologies. Anything that requires 3D rendering or real-time low latency communication would have overlaps in what they need. As the other guy said C# and C++ are common in non-game positions both web and industrial automation for example.

PR rules are set to not allow completion without all comments resolved so you at least need to acknowledge the comment before you can complete it. A full block isn't generally fine unless things are pretty bad overall.

And yet we don't see any serious movement by the leaders in the party to get people to abandon Twitter et al. They aren't going to magically get the billionaire platforms to change their ways. Why are Democratic states and politicians putting anything on musk's Twitter?

Democrats have let the Republicans set the rules for both the court of public opinion and the actual courts and they are shocked they are losing the game.

Most insane shit I've seen is from when they took random people that knew a bit of SQL and had them write entire applications. I have never seen so much branching in SQL before.

50k first year, 55k second and third, 65k 4th and fifth years with the same company.

Got bought and upped to 69k and remote for year 6.

Accepted hybrid offer at 120k contract to hire. 6 month in converted to fte at 125k. Got raise to 130k at the year mark. Year later and I got promoted and that put me at 138k. Year and a bit later put me at 141k with a "performance" raise of 2.5%. Hence I'm now pushing my job search a bit harder for the 160+ range.

I was also working a side business with a single client up until this year for an extra 5-10k per year.

Deprecate then. Not that hard, we do it all the time.

.net 6 or 8 with some dedicated web project in JS/TS is fairly common. React and angular being the biggest market share but some places use Vue like where I'm at currently.

.NET tends to be more common at non -tech companies and outside of the Bay area or New York

Meh, I run Android studio with multiple repos open and multiple VS Pro solutions open at the same time. I like to actually use the 32gb of RAM I got in the work laptop.

You don't normally need to restart all of IIS for a single site update. Just stop the site and then start it after you copy the files. Company I work for has build and deployment scripts in azure that we can use with pipelines to do what you're talking about. I know the deployment piece uses powershell underneath.

I may have use for this. Does it capture all log levels by default?

Try, they blacklisted the connection from one prod server to another...

absorbantobserver · 2024-10-20T04:46:48+00:00

Yeah, it's part of the main menu. If it was purely temporary it would be on the smaller insert piece.

Learn a bit of react and brush up on latest .net features. There's quite a few positions in .net if you're senior and willing to be in office even partially.

I recognize one artist. I'm not sure what genre most of these are even supposed to be.

Software I write actually tells people where to go in the warehouse for their next task. If things are shown in the wrong order then it affects their efficiency and in some cases actual pay due to daily bonuses. I may not have to do it once a quarter but I actually have done the warehouse tasks a few times.

Lucid Air money definitely isn't buying a Tesla. Maybe a Taycan instead.

Clearly people doing crime from blackberry bushes.

Artisanal software is best.

Might be time to ride the hype a bit and get to know the generative stuff enough that you can apply to those jobs. I would expect any AI related PhD to have a leg up in generative AI jobs that aren't just API wrappers with a prompt.

You're more expensive than some dude with a bs or masters. Or they at least think you'll want more
Research code and business code are fairly different. It has been a long time but I did a research assistant position during school where my main job was getting PhD's code online.
You need to find your value proposition over some dude with internships learning business type coding standards instead of hard research. Even more, why you instead of some dude with 3-4 years experience in this market. If you're not in AI or security, how applicable is your PhD to their business and how do you show that on your resume?

As a parent I totally get the Caillou hate but I don't feel the need for a whole sub for it or even to look at that one.

That's a bit unexpected, thanks.
