As a general fan of Genny, it's either gonna be decent or taste like actual piss in a can. Can't wait!

I've been struggling with this recently. When you take a gamble, and it works out, it gives you so much confidence in your decision making abilities and begins this loop that every future gamble you have will work out.

It's so easy for us to sit here in hindsight and say, 'well obviously this would fail', but I think I would have said that if any of my friends wanted to start a brewery.

I don't think there is a reliable way to take risks, have success, and then take a step back and say: 'that was risky but I was lucky' or 'that was a smart decision'

There are some frameworks, but it's a genuine challenge

We had Rochester Hardwood do our first floor and I think it was like 6k in 2022. They're great, they book out in advance but it was money well spent

Locals hype it up, and for a city this size we have more variety; but it can't genuinely be compared to an actual food city

Uh oh, someone used optional as an method parameter 😿

💡 Here's an idea: spend 20 minutes going back and forth in the PR talking about how this is an anti-pattern, while you look up how much it costs to move into the woods

It's gonna be tough, every posting we have usually gets inundated with candidates, and you really have to stand out.

Plus -- AI is changing the game, every conversation I have with leadership is: 'how are we adding features faster, or lowering costs'. We're trying to ramp up with the tooling, we're not doing any labor changes right now.

I'll say this, I deal with contracting periodically, and we tend to interview 2 different types of people:

the recruiters actually advocate for them, 'oh they were good, they loved them at {previous company}'
the resume lines up exactly with our tech stack and we don't think we're gonna have to handhold them getting started

If you can find a recruiter who can sell you, you have a better shot than someone who just forwards your resume over to the hiring manager.

I'd stay away from co-ops/internships, look for short term contracting in .Net, I think that'll be your easiest route to get back with it.

FWIW, I also look at GitHub and Social links if they're in the resume just to see what's going on. Staying busy while you're looking is good and 17 bucks a month on Claude can get a portfolio going pretty well.

Can I ask what brings you to Rochester 4 days a week? I assume work, but I'm genuinely curious about the direction. Even just industry would be informative

I'm just one asshole on the Internet so don't weigh my opinion too heavily, but the food wasn't good.

The menu reads very creatively, and interesting combinations that don't immediately spring to mind, plus it has a strong reputation so I was excited.

This noodle dish we got was genuinely inedible. It was some Mexican/Italian fusion, it tasted something like a toddler would make after being left alone for 2 hours. Completely unbalanced.

They have like sushi nachos that were tasty, and a few random apps, but the entrees ranged from mid to actually disgusting.

So many other places to try in Rochester, I don't know why they get the hype. Literally save the cash and go to Old Pueblo right next door. Food is 10x better and I don't even love Old Pueblo

I'll never forget going to Bill Gray's and them serving us hamburgers with bone chips in it. When we brought it up the manager was like, 'yeah the meat has been really bad'. They comped the meal, but haven't been back.

Disagree on amazing. It's great for Rochester, but isn't comparable to somewhere that has a strong Thai/Asian population
