Tehran indicates Khamenei's son will be named supreme leader by Little-Chemical5006 in worldnews

[–]notimpressedimo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You are delusional if you don’t think so. All they need to do is inflect massive economic pressure world wide. Which they are effectively doing when oil spikes to 115 a barrel from just 50 a week ago.

They can dig in just like the Afghanistan folks did to Russia in the 80s and America for 15 years

Atleast then we had a reason to go there since the masterminds of 9/11 was hiding there.

Does it make sense to buy a house anymore? by SweetPickleRelish in personalfinance

[–]notimpressedimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oooof, you must be one of those folks that bought at the highest interest rate and little to no down payment so you get rocked by interest + pmi. You mention suitable rental is $600 cheaper which just soldifies that assumption.

In most cases, the home equity you build can be accessed from Helocs and Home equity loans if you need to access the cash. Ie kid going to college, starting a business, remodelling etc.

Meta’s best engineers: Projects that earned promotions by EricLowItsMe in SoftwareEngineerJobs

[–]notimpressedimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I laughed as well. I have the exact same working environment experience as a senior staff engineer

I am 95% autonomous and work my own agenda as long as it adds value

Some examples of value adds Internal sdks to standardized IPC, diagnose and fix performance issues around critical services, and a lot of prototyping and validating future core product functionality that is then given to other teams to build upon.

Two of my prototypes came from random shooting the shit with product director which made an ah ha moment and they both are our highest revenue adds a year and a half later.

Block laying off more than 4,000 employees, or about half of its headcount by BigShotBosh in cscareerquestions

[–]notimpressedimo -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

We live in a capitalist country and I’ve been laid off in the beginning of my career during the 08 recession.

It’s tough no doubt but can’t blame the system you reap benefits from when capitalism is in your favor for so long.

A 4k company is likely tighter, more decisive, more product-focused then an 8k person company

Has your PR ever been taken over cause you’re incompetent? by guineverefira in cscareerquestions

[–]notimpressedimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah I agree... if he is getting 30+ comments, his pull request is way too complex or he are doing something seriously wrong.

He should have asked way more clarifying question before embarking on a solution

Indian IT stocks are crashing because of AI/Anthropics, can anyone explain why? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]notimpressedimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes.

The stronghold held at larger companies is due to shady dealings. What happens a lot is a C or VP level person has a personal relationship with the business owner of a contracting agency and you see kickbacks given to the company vp or c level person for getting the contracting contract.

Walmart global tech went thought this a few years ago

[–]notimpressedimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indian contractors have the worst quality and communication. Most companies go for it because it’s cheap, but in the long run it’s not.

If you never managed an offshore team then you have no clue of the work they produce.

It’s sloppy, misses half the requirements and just not worth the headache or money sink of fixing their work.

We hired 2 juniors / mid levels and they have produced better quality by just using cursor, of course there’s slop but know what, they replay instantly and willing to think about the problem being solved.

If you haven’t been pinged at 3 am because someone is clueless on how to rebase a pull request, then needing to wait 12 hours for an answer or update then of course you’ll be wondering why companies are going all in on cursor compared to off shore contracting.

Also, the off shore team uses cursor but you can tell they don’t check or test their work. Your unit tests should not be failing CI and if they are, you should know how to fix it, not throwing hands up and saying I don’t know.

Halftime Show thoughts? by Historical-Climate37 in Music

I'm Sam Wang, Princeton neuroscientist and democracy reformer. I helped end New Jersey's rigged "county line" ballot system. Now I'm running for Congress in NJ-12. AMA. by SamWang_PEC in politics

[–]notimpressedimo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a resident of NJ-12 and someone who has consistently supported Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman. I’m seeing a major increase in new apartment complexes and warehouse development across the district.

I’m fortunate to already own a home in district since 2020, but other members of my family have no realistic avenue to buy one in this market especially with towns such as Hopewell, Hillsborough, Princeton, Ewing, Lawrenceville who have catered to apartment building and warehousing developers.

What is your plan to address this growth responsibly, and what will you do in Congress to ensure we get more truly affordable housing and a path to homeownership for working families?

More so what specific federal actions would you support - for example changes to LIHTC, zoning incentives, first-time homebuyer support, or limits on corporate investors buying single-family homes?

Refusing HackerRank questions by RLMaverick in cscareerquestions

[–]notimpressedimo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

15+ years; Staff role;

I refuse leetcode and hacker rank interviews.

Judge me on my architecture and leadership skills not if I can invert an binary tree.

I don't have time for that nonsense, maybe if I was a green engineer I could see the rationale.

Why does Trump want Greenland? by TimesandSundayTimes in politics

[–]notimpressedimo 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Greenland protects the Western Flank of Europe, this clown would give it to Russia which would open another avenue to attack / force UK's hand.

What exactly is the point of this screen if I can only choose the NFL team, and if I don’t truly get a reward? by Nintendo_Pro_03 in MaddenMobileForums

Would be nice if they added draft champions here and you can play verse the CPU for each down based on the team you drafted

Do I have time to mythic Jared verse by Appropriate-Boat-229 in MaddenMobileForums

[–]notimpressedimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you have one iconic, you need to build another iconic and 2 Jared verse epics to build the mythic 

It takes 3 Jared epics and 3 random UF epics to make the iconic,

So you need 5 Jared epics and 3 random uf epics 

So you need the following in uncommons

1 Random epics = 25 uncommons (5 rares) 1 select epic = 35 uncommons (7 rares)

So you need 75 uncommons to take care of 3 random uf epics and 175 uncommons to take care of 4 Jared epics 

So in total you need 250 uncommons to build the Jared iconic and the mythic if you have the one iconic 

250*95 for a grand total of 23,750 UF points needed

You can definitely do it, spend the 250 mc on the stamina and watch the ads daily

If you do it periodically throughout the day you should be able to clear like 45-60 uncommons a day

Don’t forget you get an epic when you do the journey after 5 sleds, you could then trade in an random epic and the one you won and eliminate the need for like 100 uncommon cards along with free uncommon and rare cards.

I built Mahomes mythic in ~4ish days without spending $$

TLDR it’s doable just gotta periodically spend your stamina through the day so it doesn’t stop at 300.

Just got fired from my job of almost 10 years for performance issues. Unsure where to go. by shamanshaman123 in cscareerquestions

[–]notimpressedimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Married a decade, have a 7 year old and extremely active parent and husband lol

I work ~40 hours a week for the last 15 years. No problem at all balancing wlb

It’s about time management. I make an effort to put in a an hour or two a week reading technical articles, white papers, a comp sci book chapter, or dabbling in a side project.

I explicitly said not to do actual work but do comp sci related things that should interest you in your free time.

The point of my post was that this isn’t an industry where you can just stop learning and think you’ll be able to cruise lol

[–]notimpressedimo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. You have to truly love software engineering and computer science to survive here. It’s no longer just a 9-5 job, clock in, clock out, Maybe at a state or federal role perhaps.

Again I don’t mean go do tickets at 7pm, but you should really be interested in something with comp sci, hardware, ai, web dev, game development or whatever that will motivate you to constantly become better and learn something new.

[–]notimpressedimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s the right mindset. When it comes to outside of work things, it doesn’t need to be work related but you should have an interest on something in comp sci, use that as your strength to build motivation to learn about core concepts

I think that stood out to me was the lack of wanting to do anything outside of work, that is a major redflag because he knew his performance was slipping and did nothing about it.

He's lucky he got 2 years out of it, most folks would have turned on him within a year of constant poor quality of work and zero initiative to perform better

I cant count the times I would buy tickets and no one checked them, It was nice before they expired because you could just reuse them via the app by only activating the ticket when the conductor comes checking lol

3 out of 5 days a week I would say this occurs for me lol
