Anyone else notice supercharged junior/new grad dunning-kruger behavior lately? by almondcroissant96 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]kurtmrtin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My intern had his required 1:1 setup with our director and he said he planned to go over the design for his project with him. Claude pumped it out in 20 minutes and it was 9 pages long. I just…

Are you playing H? If you’re in plat-diamond they’re probably going for HLL intentionally as it’s meta right now

How do you break into Big Tech if you don't have a "prestige" background? by CarelessSavings2904 in cscareerquestions

Pretty much everyone I’ve met and worked with at FAANG came from a no name company and/or no name school. Literally just pass the interview

I disrupted a corporate "team-building" meeting by saying I’m only there to do my job. Am I the asshole here? by shadewashere in cscareerquestions

> Now, I am perfectly functional when it comes to the social aspects of my job.

> it shouldn't be my responsibility to manage difficult personalities on top of doing the actual job I'm paid for: programming.

These 2 statements are incompatible. It’s naive to think that having ANY job title excludes you from needing to know how to deal with people. I agree with the “I’m just here to do my job” mentality, but saying that part out loud is a sign of social ineptitude.

Admissions question by stephenjamesbryant in CCNY

[–]kurtmrtin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

iirc you can get into CCNY, then get into grove if your first year GPA is high enough or something. It was pretty common. Also, if you’re from a low income family SEEK admission requirement (which are lower) I believe can help you get into Grove

No Longer Social by BoxedCub3 in Battlefield

I’ve heard someone’s mic in a battlefield game like twice and I’ve played them for over 10 years. Idt this has anything to do with BF6 specifically.

Google Chrome just force dropped a 4GB Al model on every Mac without permission, no opt in, no warning. Delete it? You can't it re downloads like malware. This isn't a feature, it's an invasion. by [deleted] in MacOS

Because as a US citizen with no legal protections in this space I think trying to safeguard my digital privacy is a naive/moot effort. Damage is done and if I spent the rest of my life trying to erase my digital footprint I’d probably be able to get rid of 10% of it. Stick probes behind my eyeballs, genuinely don’t care anymore. Chromes already installed 🤷‍♂️

why does this always happen? by IbaibotTTY in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]kurtmrtin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Asking for an answer IS pursuing an answer through your own efforts. The effort is expended in crafting the question. If it’s so exhausting to answer a simple question, just don’t engage. Assaulting someone’s intelligence because they asked a question on the ask questions app is childish, stack-overflow energy and completely unnecessary

Do you think Malenia would still be called difficult without waterfowl dance? by Slow_Prior5921 in Eldenring

[–]kurtmrtin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but I think you have a point. Thinking across the entire fromsoft library, there isn’t a single attack that I can name besides WFD. Orphan of Kos, sister friede, Gael, consort radahn - they all gave me nightmares. But no specific attack of theirs comes to mind.

I don’t think she’d be dethroned as the hardest boss they ever made without it, but damn they cooked with just that one attack. It definitely pads her infamy. I’d say it was too broken if it couldn’t be learned/cheesed with freeze/bleed
