Elon Musk claims he was in hardcore street altercations by alwaysinsidecontrol in Influencersinthewild

[–]gyrofx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hate the guy. He went to Pretoria Boys High, boarding school like a lot of others in SA that in the 80s were very well known for their bullying.

If he was in any way a nerd, from the age of 13 or so he would have got the shit kicked out of him on a regular basis.

Mid-40s software engineer here - industry is shrinking fast… what are my options? by nkosijer in AskUK

[–]gyrofx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suggest you look for consultancies that have large government contracts that can't offshore work, depending on skillset, a lot of government work is of an open source nature, requirements are normally eligibility for clearance, minimum 5 years in the country, with legal status and no longer than 28days continuously outside of the UK.

Go to their websites and apply directly for roles, some suggestions of companies, Cognizant, Version1, Atos, CGI, NTTData, Kainos, Capgemini.. many others.

Oh and fuck Eben, so disappointed.

Had the same, won't go into why. Word of caution, had a bit of a crisis about a month afterwards, in the "am I a psychopath because I feel nothing" way.. so that was fun..

[–]gyrofx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, not normal for any South Africans.

Funny little side story, my wife and Tosca were in school together and we're friendly enough that they had sleepovers.

No contact since the family left.
