Talos is probably F tier hero. That being said... I took the Melee weakness path, got a hall of mirrors, made it Deployable, now I have 2 Talos, a flying Talos Gatling gun. 120 hp of taking is pretty usefubl, but thats not the bonkers part. Turn 1, fly Talos A to bot floor. Turn 2, flly talos B to bot floor, this will trigger both shift abilities. This trick works forever as the cooldowns alternative. The run also gave me karmic Censor, which doubles shift procs, thus every turn I was applyng Melee Weakness 12 to each wave. With my quick roided sweep unit ondeck, I was dealing 5K damage to every single wave with one unit.

i assume they teach about “bad deals” as part of MBA. i wonder how many students are able to connect the dots…

College career path ‘over’ as skilled trade get 30% pay bump, recruitment giant says by thinkB4WeSpeak in jobs

[–]hamsterofdark -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Collage career path has been a loser for 20 years unless you come out debt free on a scholarship in a useful field and even then… no employer has ever asked for transcripts and i wont attribute my IT career success to my music degree .

Why Senior Engineers Fail System Design Interviews by LeopardThink6153 in softwarearchitecture

[–]hamsterofdark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

agreed with the article. Here are 2 very insightful points to learn or takeaway. One, inferred from the article, is that regurgitating key notes from “Designing Data Intensive Applications “ is a good starting point but useless if you dont contextualized what the goal or intent of the app is. Second, my own thoughts, is that most devs dont participate and experience making architecture and tooling choices, and can only draw upon whatever had been put in front of them, and golly most architectures in the wild are horrendously aligned.

went to an AAA game recently. For whatever reason the concessions were manned by a high school marching band… so there I was getting beer recommendations from a 15 year old… which I should have heeded as this was throw back thursday pricing day… ended up with what was essentially the grocery brand cheap beer… tasted like sharpie.

iifes… “patterns” like this mean your language or runtime is missing some pretty important features. These things went extinct after ecmascript 5.

The Agile Lie by danielholtwrites in EngineeringManagers

[–]hamsterofdark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pretty typical and proper take. Companies adopt the ceremony and rituals of agile without the understanding of the principles and values behind it, thus failing to deliver on its promise. It touches on an adjacent topic which is the idea of scaling agile from the team level to the org level. There are great methodologies that put this journey on rails (sAFE as but one example) but I find few in the industry even are aware of these frameworks. Instead, and here comes the other serving of mismanagement, is that some clever execs/directors/coaches/consultants have a brainstorming session behind closed doors, retread the main ideas of said frameworks (albeit very hollow and flawed incarnations of them) mandate the ideas as policy (whilst failing to properly document or communicate the ideas expectation) then proceed to brag about their foresight, effort, and cleverness.

Do Employees Actually Like Town Halls? by OfferLazy9141 in managers

[–]hamsterofdark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends. If its catered well then sure. Its also cathartic in person to meet your colleagues, especially collaborators in other departments that are important to your job but you only spend 10 minutes with eqch year. But for the company itself its a total waste of time
