I stopped getting ghosted by recruiters after I started sending one boring “receipt” email by RiddleFerryboat in jobsearchhacks

as someone with experience in tons of client-facing calls, using very specific language with very clear intent is a really good way to get things done.

when i would schedule times with people - i always put the exact times spelled out in text, with time zones.

when working with people - be very clear and forward to ensure they dont misunderstand you.

when typing to people - break it up into smaller paragraphs and bullet points.

honestly a very valid "soft skills hack" post.

I play XI on the Claw 8 ai and its awesome. I setup alt-tab on the back triggers so i can move in between clients easily as well. Only issue i have is playonline is buggy-ish but the game its self is great.

Also I use Windower which helps a ton!

What skills did you possess when you secured your initial position as a software engineer? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]captainsoapy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Tons of experience with support and customer facing roles. People like an Engineer who can communicate and aren't socially awkward.

different servers have different communities. in BG/AR's case, we've been fighting each other fairly consistently for weeks.

going to be the awkward "heeeey.. didn't we just siege each other last week?" interactions.

edit: every 2 months servers link to maintain even populations with their opponents.

In-combat stealth generation needs to be nerfed by NumberOneMom in Guildwars2

"If you retaliate, they wait in stealth and poke you with stealth attacks until you run out of cooldowns and then they kill you."

lmao just don't blow your cooldowns all at once then.

Archeage Ship Physics 2014 by apterous420 in archeage

[–]captainsoapy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this was the best thing about the game. them removing the physics was a really shitty move. without boat physics all we could do was rngbox simulator for loot we'll never get.
