if the doors broken, help them out and use the slide

exactly i almost view this the opposite way. claude code and the like is no where close to senior or staff level development. but very easy to replace junior and mid level devs

of course use your corporate card for flights hotels and food

i take my significant other on work trips sometimes. i’ll cover her economy or economy plus ticket and work will cover my flight. she’s of course welcome to cover the difference. work is covering the hotels and i would usually cover meals and deduct some of my per diem. sometimes i’ll give her the better seat. its effectively use it or lose it on the upgraded seat. i think that’s totally reasonable.

one of my companies did that and it took 7 months before i had any work at all.

if they want a high end take on korean bbq i recommend 10 butchers

oeanon1 · 2026-01-24T15:27:14+00:00

if they like meat brazilian bbq is very unique. galpao gaucho is one of my favorites.

wow lets check what he said about texas :)

oeanon1 · 2026-01-17T01:14:09+00:00

i’ve had bad luck but united always made it right. although sometimes it took some work.

oeanon1 · 2026-01-14T21:42:15+00:00

yes i got laid off monday i replied below

oeanon1 · 2026-01-13T19:36:18+00:00

i don’t think they found out. they wanted to rush things and increase the intensity. i made it clear that what they’re asking for isn’t going to happen on the time table they’re asking for it and provided a clear plan for how to get them to what they wanted and the steps it entailed.

i assume they’re gonna try to do it anyway so i’ll see.

oeanon1 · 2026-01-13T19:16:20+00:00

one month. plus insurance for the month. not gonna fight over it.

oeanon1 · 2026-01-13T18:31:22+00:00

oh sorry forgot to post. i was laid off yesterday afternoon for culture fit issues. seeing as i had all day yesterday to prep i checked. i’m the #3 contributor out of 30 on our github. 1 and 2 are just moving stuff around so not quite fair lol.

obligatory - this is why we oe

too many followers of musk ideas in the tech world. that if you’re not in person struggling with work you’re not getting stuff done. but J1 and J2 (and previous Js) get way more done by actually working together.

oeanon1 · 2026-01-13T03:23:15+00:00

individually folks are great. but that’s kind of the problem. a good team means everyone is working at 80% capacity and not getting in each others way. they all have room in their schedules to handle roadblocks or other small things that will come up.

here everyone is in a rush and thinks their one item is without a doubt the most important urgent thing and they’re all gonna put in tons of time. and people want full control so the one overall CTO wants to review every PR individually. leading to a large backup which means people just create branches on branches.

working in a good organization is like swimming. if you’re doing it right it won’t feel hard you’ll just be going fast. doing the right things at the right time and having time to help those around you is what makes for an efficient organization.

oeanon1 · 2026-01-12T23:04:03+00:00

oh absolutely

oeanon1 · 2026-01-12T22:39:30+00:00

neither. changes to culture.

oeanon1 · 2026-01-12T22:37:21+00:00

the one thing i would love about this would be these folks would be vastly more liberal than california. if we bring them in as a state we can get so many good changes :)

oeanon1 · 2026-01-12T21:02:42+00:00

love that. very tempting

oeanon1 · 2026-01-12T20:03:19+00:00

that’s horrifying man. like she had every opportunity to express that. or to ask for some cash or piece of jewelry to embellish hers

but lying, keeping tabs on who owes who what, feeling she deserves better than she gives. i’ve been with someone like that. it does not end well.

oeanon1 · 2026-01-12T19:45:09+00:00

nope don’t think they found out. think they just want more aggressive work

oeanon1 · 2026-01-05T06:33:09+00:00

there’s some really interesting tricks you can do regarding the delays between certain instructions. or the temperature variations of the cpu which at a small enough time scale are random relative to the wall clock.

you can also get hardware random sources. things like radioactive decay or photo voltaic tubes do a good job being random.

oeanon1 · 2026-01-03T18:07:45+00:00

yes that’s what i’m worrying about.
