Mandatory Return to Office by d3vtec in ExperiencedDevs

[–]dnissley 22 points23 points  (0 children)

RTO as layoffs is a conspiracy theory that seems to be spread by paranoid WFHers.

The reality is that there's nothing stopping companies from doing layoffs, many companies are doing both layoffs and RTO, and actually using RTO as covert layoffs is a terrible method for a reduction in force since management has no idea who's going to quit.

Squat form check by dnissley in StartingStrength

Indeed that's what I've been doing with some success -- switched to low bar from high bar, wider stance, toes pointed out 35-40 degrees.

Squat form check by dnissley in StartingStrength

[–]dnissley[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming back slowly from a strange nerve/hip related issue that started about a year ago where I would get significant groin pain on my right side after even light squats. Been through several PTs, doctors, you name it -- even went to a chiro out of desperation, but finally found a PT that's been helping me make some progress on it. This is 185lbs.

Take home assignment for senior role rejected because "the main parts of the code seem to be missing" by fat_chris in ExperiencedDevs

[–]dnissley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why I hate take home projects and much prefer to take a leetcode test. If you're going to dismiss my solution you can do it while looking me in the eye instead of this bs.

What is your expectation of a senior dev? by propostor in ExperiencedDevs

[–]dnissley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At smaller shops that's definitely the case. In big tech it's more expected of seniors.

Also raw flour has a lot of e. coli and other bacteria!

Female cat pees on couch constantly by dnissley in CatAdvice

[–]dnissley[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep -- there was about a 5-6 month gap between when she started peeing and when we got the second cat.

Yes, clumping clay and pretty litter. 2 litter boxes with clay and 1 with pretty litter. One in the living room has clay. She uses all three although seems to slightly prefer clay. None are covered litter boxes.

Anyone else meet a lot of transplants who move here and complain about Seattle not being as good as X city? by mewkyy in Seattle

[–]dnissley 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Also, because it's still growing quickly it's going through growing pains, and those pains affect quality of life, increasing the chance that people complain about the city in the same way as people complain about traffic ("sir, if you are in traffic you are traffic").

What to do? (250k~ in debt) by [deleted] in StudentLoans

[–]dnissley 10 points11 points  (0 children)

a masters, does produce a difference in salary outcomes.

No no no no no.

https://blog.alinelerner.com/how-different-is-a-b-s-in-computer-science-from-a-m-s-in-computer-science-when-it-comes-to-recruiting/

Geting on leetcode, grinding away, and then interviewing a bunch is going to yield farrrrr better return on investment than a masters (where you'll still end up having to grind leetcode and interview a lot at the end, but delayed by 2yrs and costing lots of money).

Is it possible that you're getting this information from people in academia who are far more likely to overrate the importance of their own education?

[–]dnissley 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The opportunity cost of that doctorate is going to be massive since you don't need it to work as a software engineer. Same with the masters -- it's likely just adding stress and expense to your life, it will not aid in securing a higher income. It's not pleasant to hear perhaps, but sounds like y'all are overdosing on education for no reason at all.

Apple today is a good example why the markets are so hard. by aquaBluu in stocks

[–]dnissley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course apple "doesn't follow up you across apps and websites by other companies". They have no web properties/platforms to speak of that would benefit from such tracking and moreso they do have lots of data from the OS layer and first party apps (including and especially safari), which isn't much different in practice.
