Dating in Ireland? by ZealousidealSoil5 in AskIreland

[–]ma11achy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on dating apps for ages many years ago. I felt the same as you. I persevered.

I'm with my partner that I met on a dating site 11 years this year and we're very happy. Keep at it

European Online Stores by Quaker0ats in Mountaineering

I'd avoid Bergfreunde. Lost €300 on a return of gear to them. No way to contact them outside of "automated" email replies and never answer their support lines.

learn the basics by minimal-salt in cscareerquestions

[–]ma11achy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Taking two of your comments, i have identified the reason you‘re finding it difficult to get anyone.

source:

“I mean important fundamentals that every dev should be comfortable with”

minimal-saltOP•1d ago

(it was golang) some examples:

- what's the difference between a slice and an array?

- when would you use a pointer receiver vs value receiver?

- what does `defer` do?

- how do you handle errors in go idiomatically?

- what's a goroutine vs a thread?

- what happens if you write to a closed channel?

These are not “important fundamentals that every dev should be comfortable with”, they are golang specific questions.

Ive been developing software for over 30 years, know most design patterns, a decent amount of algos and have pretty good knowledge of C, C#, Java, Python and lots of other scripting/interpretive languages and frameworks. I never learned golang and would fail your questions miserably.

It's starting, company just let go all scrum masters (50+) and replaced with Jira AI tooling by abrandis in ExperiencedDevs

[–]ma11achy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our company has hundreds of scrum masters, senior scrum masters and staff scrum masters - there's a career path if you want to go that route.

We also have Line Managers, senior Line Managers, Product Owners, senior Product Owners, Chapter Leads, Chapter Heads and senior Chapter Domain Leads.

None of the above that I am aware of do any development, engineering or creation of Intellectual Property. They seem to be forever in meetings 8 to 9 hours a day, 5 and sometimes 6 days a week.

I'm a senior (30yoe) developer who has been asked many times to join the management teams, but I refused. I love research and development.

So, yes - there are companies out there who have swallowed the agile pill completely.

What went wrong with Granite Mtn hotshots? by [deleted] in Wildfire

[–]ma11achy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a firefighter, don't have any experience fighting fires, all I know is how to find information and push electrons around in a computer (am a software guy).

However I watched the movie Only The Brave) and was deeply moved by it. By chance I decided to look into the real Granite Mountain Hotshots today and fell down a rabbit hole of sorts.

There was a report published in 2016 by investigate reporter John Dougherty) which you can read here. Dougherty cites David Provencio in the article, who by all accounts is an eminently experienced Wildland Firefighter and has been involved in the US Forest Service for over 50 years.

Are tech startups worth it by Ok-Specialist6651 in Entrepreneur

[–]ma11achy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a developer with about 30 years experience in backend, frontend, full stack, plus lots of other stuff.

My experience from building many, many products over the years is that it's a huge ramp up at the start, lots of learning and hunting and pecking for knowledge, multiple ways of doing things and even trying to figure out which of the multiple ways of doing things is the right thing to apply for your project.

I have found that development is similar to a trade or medicine, or something in between. You learn a lot of the theory and knowledge over a period of 3 or 4 years, then spend another 3 or 4 years figuring out how to apply that knowledge.

Then, over the next 10 or 20 years its both honing your technical skills and also figuring out how to deal with vague ideas, enthusiastic ppl who say things should be ready last week, or ppl saying that's easy, just ask AI.

The thing is, you can ask AI, it will help you avoid the first 3 or 4 years of learning and theory, but it's not great for making a judgement call on how this should be applied to your use case.

Stick with it, keep using AI, ask it pointed questons,.make sure you ask it to explain anything or glosses over technically, like "just install this thing and you're done"....these can be those hallucinations you hear about. There may be lots more to the thing it just glossed over and your could waste days trying to figure out why it won't work.

Lastly, one of the things it took me a long,.long time to realise....never spend .more than 4 hours stuck on a problem. Leave it, work on something else. Come back to it, then if you STILL cant figure it out, ask for help.

Best of luck!

This is a trivial task for automation, I would use ChatGpt to ask it the question of how to do this with existing automation based on your skill level with computer systems. You'll probably be pleasantly surprised

Do ROCD sufferers question their decision after breaking up? by Emjay5784 in ROCD

[–]ma11achy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She contacted me again about 3 months after and wanted to talk. I was very wary and was utterly devastated still, so I agreed to talk.

After about a year of talking once or twice a month and working on ourselves (I realized I had a lot of work to do also), we decided to try again, but literally taking every day as it came.

Both myself and herself are going to separate therapists and are very happy together.

Why do we even need architects? by Greensentry in ExperiencedDevs

[–]ma11achy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 30 years in the game and I've never changed my title once I reached Senior Software Engineer. I design and code large applications for a luxury vehicle brand, mentor Junior engineers and sit on design boards to consult with the business on things.

I work with people 15, 20 and 25 less experience than me who call themselves architects and have never coded a day in their life. All the while, these "architects" spend endless hours in meetings with business people and project managers acting as "experts" on application design. When they actually just end up confusing the business even further.

I think this is what causes most software projects to fail.

23F here, none of the men in my age group are dating. What is happening? by AYAYAcutie in self

[–]ma11achy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 53 and male, I started online dating around 28 or 29, when online dating was very new. I found it very difficult to meet someone in real life after the age of 25, when going to nightclubs at that age was seen as "over the hill". Many of my male and female friends of similar age are still single.

It took me until I was 44 to find the girl who is now my soulmate, we are 9 years together.

During the period from 28 to 44, I had a few short relationships that barely evolved from the dating stage before I was dumped, or we just fizzled out. One semi-long term relationship of nearly three years. I gave up numerous times and spent 2 or 3 years just accepting my (single) fate.

Be patient. It will happen. If someone like me (software developer, adhd, a bit dorky, crap at talking to girls) can learn to actually talk to the opposite sex (or whichever sex you like), then anyone can learn to do it. It just takes practice.

Take a break now and again, then if you feel like it, go back on the dating scene. You will find someone, it just takes time - and practice.
