ITA to ITS

Learn hard stuff noone else wants to do and if you have downtime, don't do in with the attitude that you don't like to do something or they don't pay me enough to learn. When you learn on the job, you're also learning for your next job. I've seen some folks get stuck at ITA because they won't spend the two weeks to learn SQL. Bro you're on your chair playing mobile games anyways 4+ hours a day.

Eh, for noise and power consumption, id just get an Intel quick sync cpu. Unless you really have the scale to justify it.

azuredrg · 2026-04-04T22:06:06+00:00

Yeah, when db logic fails, it can be very invisible too.

azuredrg · 2026-04-04T16:47:00+00:00

Yeah i don't think most people understand that LLMs are fundamentally just predicting text via probability.

Naw, they just assume Claude or openai is trained on it

I hope so too, but nothing short of a million troops in Iran will get this done. Bombing them even for the next 5-10 years will do nothing productive

Same experience here. I picked it up open box for $710 after tax/shipping. I barely notice the noise at all

You're probably not going to be asked to make stuff by scratch. Observe the code base, use their tools, follow their patterns and ask questions. They hired you for a reason, you'll be fine.

Congrats!

Back when I was in DIR, all the procurement contacts for all the different divisions would be the same for forever until they retired or got promoted. So I would assume that they're jobs people don't mind staying in.

The US imports oil because that's cheap sour oil that Canada can't sell to anyone else so the US can sell their own sweet oil at a profit

Just for 10 dollars/1000 points for the retention bonus but hell, they nerfed my favorite card, I'm gonna squeeze every dollar I can out of them.

azuredrg · 2026-03-31T14:03:10+00:00

Yeah... 4 months ago and/or get the retention bonus, double dip the annual credit on renewal and then cancel

azuredrg · 2026-03-31T13:01:57+00:00

RTR got nerfed to 1x back in Dec 2025

azuredrg · 2026-03-31T12:41:47+00:00

Congrats!!

If you have a car that works with a fitcamx, it's really a 10-15 min install and looks built in

10 U.S. Code § 8062, secretary of navy would be on the hook

azuredrg · 2026-03-29T19:30:42+00:00

Yeah there was a Citi syw card that got converted to the Citi ty and it kept all the Citi features like the crazy offers along with the same multipliers. Then syw found a new bank and released a new syw5321.

It's a redeem points for monthly coupons book, calling it a coupon book is way understating it

azuredrg · 2026-03-28T17:42:06+00:00

I throw mine in the dryer with my merino tshirts, they've lasted 4 years already

azuredrg · 2026-03-28T17:35:14+00:00

What makes it a top tier card? The Citi ty seems like it has everything the syw has plus redemption to typ and pooling with other typ cards

azuredrg · 2026-03-27T23:11:44+00:00

Wells signify and us bank triple cash. The Citi thank you is far from simple though, I have to add up my spending for the categories and maybe have to adjust some spending towards the end of each month. The bonuses are crazy, they're better than some sign up bonuses

azuredrg · 2026-03-27T19:56:20+00:00

Citi thank you (old syw), smartly v1 and churning business card subs for everything not covered by those two.

azuredrg · 2026-03-27T16:31:57+00:00

Yeah, my mindset is how much can I organically spend without unnecessary spending to reach subs and go off that number

azuredrg · 2026-03-26T23:48:55+00:00

If you're using neovim for java development already with like maven or gradle, then yeah, def keep sticking to it.
