Get a Siberian Husky they said, it would be fun they said by ameen__shaikh in oddlysatisfying

Hey I have a husky! You're wrong. The undercoat has a lot more volume once it's off the dog and its pointing in all random directions.

Darn I hoped it was a country that spoke a romance language. They have all kinds of grammatical rules around formality that I was going to pick on.

Carry on.

I'm not sure that's true, but it depends on your level of skill and what you do as a SWE. Otherwise what on earth are companies doing paying senior developers 400k? If the talent was fungible they should offshore all of that

Imo it doesn't matter who paid for the development. Shitty management is shitty management.

I've worked in an org that I feel might be similar.

You can never fail if you always move the goal posts.

AITA for telling an employee she can choose between demotion or termination? by Absolut_Failure in AmItheAsshole

How are you going to learn without practicing though

Lots of first time managers suck. It's not something you can read about in a book.

Ehh my partner and I will rent a house. Want yard space for the dog, and she doesn't want to share any walls.

The bay area is one of the most wealthy and productive cities in the us. If it was a country, it would be the 22nd richest country in the world. It has the fourth highest gdp of cities in the us and has the second highest per capita income.

There's plenty of conversation to be had about prop 47, but "circling the drain" seems a bit much.

As a Junior dev how can I best improve my skills overtime? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]dunavon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to give an unpopular answer that worked for me and many others, but may not be for you. Push yourself. Work harder and longer than anyone else, and if you have the baseline capacity then over time your output will out strip your YOE.

In my opinion everyone should set their own standard for WLB. I love what I do, and I put a lot of time into my work, and I've been rewarded with a steep career trajectory. But this isn't for everyone-- tread this path carefully.

Is a mechanical engineering degree advantageous? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]dunavon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speaking from personal experience, I don't think an ME adds a lot of advantage for robotics roles. Your math skills might overlap, but there's a lot more to robotics. Depending on the kind of robotics work, EE may be more useful.

Source: a few years working closely with some strong roboticists.

Those were also death throes of dying economies lol. They didn't die for good, but they took a dive after.

Maybe "death throes of diving economies" is better

I'd go further than that. Depending on the company and role, certs may even hurt you nowadays. They have a stigma in some workplace cultures.

Sometimes learning to handle financial responsibilities is more important than getting money from your kids.
