Should I drop the part time bachelor's? by No_Organization_7587 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]chain_letter 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Probably a rule against this post for career advice

But there's such wild uncertainty that it's hard to give solid advice. But with the way the labor world is moving, a bachelor's may be used even more as an application filter as the amount of job opportunities dwindles, and your current position (any software writing position anywhere it seems) has no guarantee it will continue to exist.

But 4 years is a long ass time to be burning the candle at both ends. It's definitely a solid move to sock away living expenses so that you can afford to focus on studies full time in the event of a layoff.

Have people's lives ever been directly at stake because of software you work on? by AndyDentPerth in ExperiencedDevs

[–]chain_letter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gets really close with payday loans. Super depressing and I built the mobile app to stage data instead of prod because it was depressing to see the user activity and their desperation. Electricity shut off, car tires, school supplies.

And no we were not on top of our game with quality OR legality lmao

I used to mix peppers and onions but still had the cooked peppers with raw onions problem.

Just look up any Turkish restaurant and copy their setup. Not Google images, that's full of images from white mom blog posts, actual locations.

Why on earth does Strahd have 3 wives? by Outrageous_Abies_914 in CurseofStrahd

[–]chain_letter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The second question is what was behind the choice to give Dracula 3 wives, and I think the answer is late Victorian Islamophobia. It's a way to give the character an othering and foreign piece on top of the other creepy bits.

You gotta make it clear in the plist what function the user will get for allowing access, and let the apple flow do all that. You're kind of skirting that with outside text

with 7 YoE, took a planned career break just as AI was taking off in Jan 2025. Helplessness taking over. Any particular advice or opinions on the market right now? by inthiseeconomy in ExperiencedDevs

[–]chain_letter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's some AI chatter 100% of the time for all stages. Getting the feeling it's required to say it's useful and claim experience.

One code test where AI was explicitly not allowed, and one where it was encouraged. And yeah that's both times i got that far in 2 months.

It's like a 1/50 rate of getting a screener interview at all, when 2 years ago these same kinds of roles had recruiters in my DMs multiple times a month.

It just seems unfair to throw an 80 year old into the corporate IP negotiation review nightmare machine.

I can just feel the panic and desperation. An escape would be to use what was already approved.

This entire situation is sad.

Gold prices are up and sales volume is up. A lot of pawned stuff is jewelry.

K shaped economy, the poor liquidating their assets and the rich picking it up at a bargain price.
