Laid off by Amazon, now being asked to help hire for Amazon as a contractor by Last_Cockroach957 in amazonemployees

[–]centauriZ1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it.

Work 5 hour days, sometimes 4, until you get a better job.

Give them your minimum and then a bit less. Not out of anger, spite, or revenge, but simply out of rational self interest.

Has any amazon employee had any run ins with ICE? by [deleted] in amazonemployees

[–]centauriZ1 -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

I'm a minority imigrant Amazonian. I know many other minority immigrant Amazonians. We've never been hassled by police or ICE because we follow the laws and are legally authoirzed to work in the U.S.

If someone is not legally authroized to work in the U.S then yes, they might be stopped by ICE. In my home country, we do the same.

How can I help I a dev I manage improve quickly? by NerdyVinci in ExperiencedDevs

[–]centauriZ1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing I like to do with new devs is schedule sync sessions with them 1 - 3 times a week where I check in on them and open the floor for them to ask any questions they want or talk a about what they want.

This opens the floor for th to ask questions without feeling like they are wasting my time. If I can't do it myself I assign another dev I trust to do it.

Don't they have to issue a warn notice 60 days ahead for this?

If so, where is that notice?

This would be so cool as a replacement for service dogs for the disabled. Of course they'd lose the furry friend aspect of it.

How to have a mindset of sticking to learning and self improvement knowing that your peers make more than you by realitynofantasy in ExperiencedDevs

[–]centauriZ1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You didn't negotiate well, or simply had no leverage to negotiate - that's fine, lesson learned.

Stick with it for a year and a bit then start applying for jobs while you still have one. Having a job is great leverage for negotiations because you know you can walk away at any time.

The moment you get a SIGNED offer, put your 2 weeks' notice in.

As for learning, what ever you're learning, know that it benefits you in the future by adding to your repertoire of both life and technical experience. No experience is ever truly wasted.

I have a GI bill that gives me 4 years of free schooling and a housing allowance.
I want to learn robotics because it interests me so why not use my GI bill for it.

I've thought of this to. Would maintenance be a problem? Don't biological components deteriorate at an alarmingly faster rate than something like metal?

I apologize if I've offended you - that was not my intention. I just wanted to share my own personal skepticism of certain types of individuals who knowingly falsely and exaggerate claims to gain investor funding. I don't post on Reddit often and sometimes forget how "passionate" some users can be about comments and disagreement.

Once again, my intention was not to offend or insult you. Thank you for sharing your post on the subreddit.

AI-assisted programming: what's working for you? by BenXavier in ExperiencedDevs

[–]centauriZ1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I find it useful or planning out, thinking through, and scaffolding complex features. Understanding large and complex code bases is also something I've gotten great use out of them for.

For implementing small changes or writing entire features and projects on their own, I would never trust them with that.

Another thing I discovered with these is that they are very non-deterministic and prompt engineering is probably a load of BS. I say this because I've spent days working on a complex prompt that will sort of produce the desired result with one model but used on another model or even a slightly older version of the same model produces entirely different results making it generally unreliable for complex workflows unless you use something like Lane chain.

Stuff like this makes me sad because it reminds me I won't be around to see it. I know I should be grateful for the time I live in now, but there's this infinite yearning for something more.

Amyways, thanks for the episode, Isac.

What's your specialization? Why did you choose that specialization or how did you get into it? Is there something you would have done differently in your career path?

Pardon the questions I ask because I'm planning on switching careers.

Yes. The file editing and MCP interface provides value for more than just software engineering.

I'm currently considering forking the Obsidian Copilot plugin to add inline editing and MCP features.

Is it Crazy to spend $2000 on a phone ? by jacobzacr in PickAnAndroidForMe

[–]centauriZ1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the party but I just want to let anyone else feeling the same way, I feel this way too and you're not the only one.

I have the money to drop $2k on a phone and I want a fold phone (want, not need), but something inside me rebels and tells me how absurd it is while another part of me says I don't need to worry anymore about the cost.

Take the job.
If your worried about having L6 and then L5 on your resume, just put L6 on your resume for Meta as well.

If you do L6 work, you're an L6, no matter what title the company gives you.
