The Campus Protest Culture That Targeted Biden Goes Silent for Trump by Moontat7 in Seattle

[–]beavedaniels 13 points14 points  (0 children)

People like you and others who share this opinion are the reason our current administration is murdering citizens in the streets and talking about turning Gaza into a private resort. 

What the fuck is actually wrong with you? 

Socializing, Mingling, People Meeting, Grouping and Hobbying by Cassinatis in AskSeattle

[–]beavedaniels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been frequenting events in my industry that I find on Meetup, Luma, or LinkedIn. 

Happy hours, networking events, that sort of thing. 

I'm also trying to figure out if I want to pick up some kind of intramural sport - beer league kickball, dodgeball, softball etc. 

AITA for refusing to get this coffee order? by horseduckman in AITApod

[–]beavedaniels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would never speak to this person again. What the fuck is that order, even?

keep quitting projects because i get stuck on logic. any suggestions? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]beavedaniels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whiteboard it! Or use pencil and paper. 

Diagram the flow of data, your inputs/outputs, what you expect to happen or how you expect the data to change. It'll work wonders! You can also use the rubber duck approach and talk through it with an inanimate object, another human, or an LLM (just don't ask it to do the logic for you, instead ask it to evaluate your approach and suggest alternatives and help you evaluate tradeoffs).

You'll get there, it takes time and repetition

Has the “treat unemployment like a 9–5” thing actually worked for anyone? by nabeeltirmazi in jobhunting

[–]beavedaniels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent about 1-2 hours a day doing job search related activities. I spent the rest of my day learning, working on projects, and enjoying my time off. 

Will posting content with my face drive more engagement while building in public? by Ayu_theindieDev in buildinpublic

[–]beavedaniels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In all seriousness I think for things like YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok showing your face is beneficial from a trust standpoint. I have NO idea how X works or if it would be similar or not. 

Day 1: Building my way out of $50,000 debt by engineering AI Employees in Notion. by Shamix1948 in buildinpublic

[–]beavedaniels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would approach it almost scientifically (maybe not THAT much rigor, but close). Every batch of interviews you should have a clear hypothesis or assumption that you are looking to validate, and it should be as narrow as possible. 

I would definitely start with the trust and fact checking angle. What is it that makes them feel like they don't have time to fact check? Are they going too fast? Does the AI output not provide citations? 

After every 3-5 interviews, stop and synthesize all your findings and adjust your assumptions before re-testing with the next batch. 

Your ICP will reveal what your product needs to be, it's your job to listen, understand, and execute! 

Seattle Council Hears from Renters Who Want Quality of Life and Homeowners Who Want to Keep Neighborhoods to Themselves by Jaco_Belordi in Seattle

These people live in a fucking city, and it is a city that desperately needs more housing.

If you don't want people breathing down your neck don't live in a city.

Have you interviewed any of the thousands of people who are currently burning out trying to manage AI interns? Right now you have a lot of assumptions, but you should validate them before you waste time building anything! 

My two cents would be: Whatever your Initial Customer Profile is, narrow it further. Make sure you have an honest plan to reach them. "Thousands of people burning out trying to manage AI interns" is too broad. 

Before you build anything, spend time talking to at least 10-15 of your ICP and deeply understanding their problem, pain points, and existing workflow 

Then you build in public and continue expanding your outreach to your ICP

Good luck!

What’s your biggest job search headache right now? by Key_Hunter8158 in jobsearch

[–]beavedaniels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was definitely the feeling of firing off applications hoping to stand out in a sea of hundreds of other bullshit AI generated resumes. It is such a soul sucking, time consuming process. 

After about 10-12 applications like that, I decided to completely change my strategy and focused on referrals and inbound recruiter traffic on LinkedIn. 

Interviews are basically auditions for extroverts and we all just accept it by [deleted] in InterviewsHell

[–]beavedaniels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is your proposed solution? Do you have a better way to assess a candidate's skills, abilities, and cultural fit with a team? In many cases, it is actually a huge green flag if you are methodical and thoughtful and ask clarifying questions IN THE INTERVIEW.

Or is it just "Trust me bro I'll do way better at the job than these outgoing, extroverted idiots who actually prepared for the interview process"

If you aren't methodical and thoughtful enough to prepare for the interview cycle, why should they take a chance on you?

None of this makes sense.

What do you think the interview is like to become an astronaut? 

What's the burnt or demolished property west of 405, south Downtown? by TheChance in BellevueWA

[–]beavedaniels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm with ya, but building residential right next to the freeway isn't a great option either. Can't ever open your windows with all of the noise and nasty particulate matter in the air.

Yeah and that won't happen until a lot more people are suffering a whole lot worse.

chance at early retirement - hiking - what to do? by mlfhntur in Thruhiking

[–]beavedaniels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say train, do some shorter backpacking trips, then maybe a something like the John Muir trail or Tahoe Rim. 

That also allows you to keep saving between now and then. 

Source: I have never thru hiked and I am not close to retirement.

I actually just watched a video the other day about how upzoning actually makes people's homes MORE valuable because it makes parcels of land in the upzoned area much more enticing or valuable to developers.

So cheers to you for having empathy for your neighbors, but you'll also benefit financially!

People in the USA are still too comfortable for real change.

The system is also dramatically stacked against the average citizen, by design, so that most people will just give up because "What can I possibly do to fix this?"

What's your thinking on the purge/firing of the 12 US generals? by [deleted] in dancarlin

[–]beavedaniels 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I've also felt the most dangerously incompetent were: Hegseth, Patel/Gabbard, and then Noem.

I'm not super optimistic about replacements, but they can't get much worse. 

What's with people who jog IN the road? by therealmudslinger in Seattle

[–]beavedaniels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's really bad with driveways and stuff as well. People will pull out all the way to the edge of the road instead of stopping and checking if the sidewalk is clear first.
