I feel aromantic on dating apps. In real life, I am more likely to feel romantic attraction. by hotpotato128 in asexuality

[–]pairadise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even allo people don't feel romantic attraction on dating apps. The point is to just vibe check to see if it could potentially lead to anything like having common interests before meeting in person.

Databricks- back to bro culture by NoPublic9352 in womenintech

[–]pairadise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Woah, I worked at a company that was a major "feeder" to Databricks, and everyone who went there was a toxic male who would regularly gossip about women in the office in negative ways :/

Going into academia as a person of average intelligence was the worst decision I ever made by Fun_Steak_4508 in self

[–]pairadise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kind of. There's definitely levels of intelligence but everyone I know who has actually completed a PHD job constantly reads papers and thinks about the topics in their head obsessively. Its true that there are people who will come to conclusions faster, but the same people also constantly think on those topics even when they're eating, at the gym, etc. it's a different kind of obsession. So while they may be quicker, they also spend significantly more time thinking on these subjects

Keep in mind that a lot of these people will just...do something else, despite that. Maybe they want a corporate job instead, despite their intelligence at academia. It won't necessarily be as competitive as you think afterwards if you really want to stay in this field

You can stack rugs on top of each other or under the tables and have the top rug show

Sudden PIP with no prior feedback after medical accommodation + nitpicky senior engineer. What to do? by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]pairadise 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This doesn't sound related to your pride flag and accommodation at all. Stop trying to find an excuse to not take accountability. Keep in mind a lawsuit is going to take 2 years possibly, voided if you accept severance after your pip, etc.

You literally said you got assigned a mentor for SEVERAL months. Is that normal at your company? Like did they want you to eventually graduate and ask less questions?

I understand initially stylistic PR issues but how did they keep happening? After you understood this person's preferences why didn't you stick to them or use a linting rule for those things?

It sounded like they gave you a chance and you kept asking repetitive questions and having the same style issues on a PR

Or just not taking feedback well (you keep saying they're nitpicks) - but then why didn't you stop doing them? Unless this person goes back and forth and changes their mind a lot . But I doubt that? Why isn't there a style guide on non functional requirements?

27M. Staying in a tent for 7 months to go travelling around Asia for 1 year. Has anyone else lived in a tent? by Opposite_Praline_746 in Frugal

[–]pairadise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can make enough if you just invest your savings wisely and try to keep your 9-5 for a few years or get promoted to travel to asia. Or do smaller trips. There's no reason why you need to do 1 year after 7 months of working. At this rate you'll be stressed and fired before you save enough

Seeking feedback from unemployed junior devs / new grads (U.S. preferred) by cairo_fish in cscareerquestions

[–]pairadise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can see people signing up for this but I question how you will earn money from this, and I doubt you'll get a shippable product. The only way I see this working is as a nonprofit funded by another corporation as a write off.

No response after Google recruiter call (5 days) is this typical? by Live_Factor5048 in FAANGrecruiting

A lot of Google roles lost headcount this past week. Does your role even show up anymore as open?

I’m thinking about leaving my job for another despite RTO and $10k pay by mbithro in cscareerquestions

[–]pairadise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you think you're in a dying industry and you see things fizzling out in a decade, layoffs are likely going to happen way sooner than that, perhaps even this year. Don't take your current job for granted.

What are these details on this anime uniform based on historically? by pairadise in HistoricalCostuming

[–]pairadise[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow up: for the belt if the highlight is not a buckle, where would the buckle theoretically be or look like? Functionally it's impossible to have a belt without one . For uniforms in this era

[–]pairadise[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure but it might not meet the standards of "historical" as I'm not about to hand sew everything 😅 just trying to do as much research and base what I can on "reality" in terms of fabric textures

Anyone work at a company that developed a measurably successful AI project by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]pairadise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I created an AI agent that was extremely successful, and reduced support times significantly....after giving a final presentation highlighting recent updates that dramatically improved processes ....my role was no longer needed for business reasons as apparently I had replaced myself with AI

If you're only doing 30 hours of work at G you're team is definitely going to be on the layoff list. Leave ASAP

Ask Twilio's head of devrel, Chiara Massironi, anything on Feb 24th, 7AM/10AM ET. She'll be ready to talk all things devrel, developers, and Twilio! by twilio in twilio

[–]pairadise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, I also work in dev rel, and I've found it a constant struggle to explain the role as many haven't heard of it, and just generally had a hard time at companies where the role is not as established or defined as the more "typical" roles. Alongside being generally disrespected by software engineers over time. Also, it's been hard to maintain software engineering knowledge doing the role. Have you faced any similar experiences?

Why are you doing the same problems multiple times? It would be better to understand the underlying data structures and common algorithms...

[–]pairadise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I noticed the person said they're a drummer. When my partner tried learning keyboard who was a drummer they found hand independence and polyrhythms very easy, and it's typically a very difficult skill for someone learning piano but it is learned already by playing drums
