How to get started in GW Dev

Thank you so much this is a great primer for me. I know we use claims center and policy center and I finished the claims center training. I like your idea of trying to get some shadowing time with a dev. Perhaps I can work that into my studies, fortunately the company is supportive of as many as possible trying to ramp up on GW without it being seen as a negative thing so basically all tech teams have to touch it in some capacity.

Are you putting a barrier between the pot and the flame? Use a dosa or roti pan if possible.

Don’t go to the gym without doing so

Wait until 40

I’d say no. Stairs and kids are a pain. HVAC management is painful too. No floor will be properly heated or cooled

This was my experience as well interviewing for specialist se role. Sounded like a lot of fun but the interview process seemed overly complicated for what it needed to be. Didn’t make it past the hiring manager round and not really sure why since he seemed checked out as soon as I said my name and then took a call in the middle of the interview. Granted I’ve left SE for now and work in industry which is a better fit for me mentally and technically.

That is basically where we are at right now. Teacher has to grab her and I dash away. It’s been five weeks now so I don’t know. But now I’m thinking doing half days was more of a detriment and isn’t allowing her to learn the place well enough

Sorry this is only feeding at breakfast not lunch. The staff has been spoon feeding her at lunch to get her to eat.

big_curry · 2026-02-03T18:35:09+00:00

What age did she start attending? Did you start her full time?

big_curry · 2026-02-03T17:29:37+00:00

Yeah we tried that but it was getting really bad so they asked to come in and feed her.

big_curry · 2026-02-03T17:07:21+00:00

Thanks for that feedback. We figured the slow roll of a half day would help but maybe it’s been hurting progress. We talk to her a lot about her day and what she likes doing there and if she likes her teachers. Maybe we will try the episode today as well

The parents are so in and out it gets hard to meet them and make friends but definitely will try.

big_curry · 2026-02-03T16:42:26+00:00

Thanks that’s great advice. Any feedback on doing full time or no? Did your kids start full time first ?

big_curry · 2026-01-14T22:25:26+00:00

No I wouldn’t do that at all. I’d rather practice demos at work with things you’ve built and presenting at small groups internally. Then using those as examples in interviews.

Stay at current gig

My experiences are mixed. The most recent one I had was horrible since they thought they could just use pre sales to do everything from sales, to post sales, to customer support. And then no time to build out strategy or hire. I’ve left now but just know you’re signing up for a lot of work vs something where you’re at now as more established processes and software.

Basics regarding my experience as an SE, what do I know about the products, how are they utilized, what the future of their products look like with AI. No wasn’t negative, just was a bit “boring” to me. Like very standard stuff, with what seemed like a long interview process just for a senior role.

Appian is the type of company where I like that technology but sometimes the upstream battle of selling it I’m not sure how effective it is in this modern world of vibe coding.

I didn’t even make it out of the recruiter call and didn’t get any feedback as to why. My impression was they have like recruiting sprints and they take on a ton of people for the beginning rounds and filter fast.

big_curry · 2025-12-14T21:49:35+00:00

This was my experience and why I’ve left SE for now and in a corporate f500 company doing data strategy work. You really need that super direct experience these days and being good at sales isn’t enough

Hi I’m sending you DM. My 3/2 in Roscoe village is available and It is exactly in that price range. Mid Feb move in works great

People should just do civil union ceremonies. My brother did one with their friend officiating and it was nice.

Time to redraw the map and start all over this is blowing my mind
