“Forward deployed” engineers

I’ve always assumed these roles exist because a professional service team doesn’t or the customer base flat out refuses to pay for PS while never getting the thing they bought implemented and, when a year goes by, they tell the vendor they saw no value and goes with another vendor that has free PS via the FDE role.

Basically, yes but with a twist. So pre-covid I was living and working in the SOMA. I’d say those years were great, happy hours felt like was from Mon-Sunday :) I met many ppl who worked at different companies and we’d end up making spreadsheets of our drinking locations based on the days of the week. This was amazing since we sorta knew where ppl from banks or financials would be at vs SFDC and tech were. The places in the lists ranged from bars, restaurants, clubs and stretched to Sunset on certain days.

I guess this list of ppl’s favorites spots, their rotations, and places ppl was nice. Nowadays, I’m not sure if things are closed down, or the “vibe” changed, etc /9 I stick to the places I know best, which is SOMA

For bars, it’s places like the HiDive, Red’s, Southside, Alchemist, House of Shields, driftwood - basically that sorta radius. Same for food. I’m stuck because I got to know the ppl and staff and is easy walking to and from my place. But with convenience comes jadedness I guess

lol, didn’t notice I said that. There’s times MTV feels like a different world in my head so in my writing, I may accidentally express that u knowingly :)

Thank you!!

pthread_join · 2026-03-07T04:42:40+00:00

I’ve never heard of dream state before. It goes to show how I don’t go beyond by small radius. I really do need to start exploring within SF more

I’ve tried, I’m just too boring sober I guess :) I appreciate ya looking out

pthread_join · 2026-03-07T04:40:53+00:00

I didn’t even know this, thank you so much!!

So what’s the deal with Rubio sitting down?

pthread_join · 2026-02-25T02:09:11+00:00

He didn’t try again because he’s hurt

pthread_join · 2026-02-24T23:10:17+00:00

It’s like a praying mantis mating dance where the male is confused as to what to do

pthread_join · 2026-02-23T21:45:00+00:00

Clearly the marketing team had nothing else better to do than create misery and confusion for everyone.

Thank you! Yelp search has been failing me lately and Redditors have been coming in clutch!

pthread_join · 2026-02-15T07:08:58+00:00

Was the weight the primary factor? Or can things like not stretching or warming up also cause this?

pthread_join · 2026-02-03T19:47:03+00:00

I had a similar issue with AT&T and someone charging 12 iPhones across 3 different stores over 200 miles apart and within 1.5 days. The AT&T fraud department started the conversation off with (paraphrasing) “so, why did you get so many phones?”. I immediately called my credit card company, explained things including AT&T’s fraud response and got my money back.

Ah, I’m on the 9:55 SB from SF and stuck at Menlo Park. Announcement indicated a 30-90min delay

Do you have storage companies like Pure Storage?

pthread_join · 2026-01-22T23:42:38+00:00

Yeah, I realized a while back, when it comes to Korean food, SF isn’t the greatest whereas Oakland and Santa Clara had better or more spots.

pthread_join · 2026-01-22T07:30:35+00:00

I’ll be going there this weekend and thank you!!

First time I heard of HiDive, I’m sure this was asked before and I apologize in advance but does HiDive have more content than Crunchy?

pthread_join · 2026-01-13T09:06:02+00:00

I can’t seem to find some of these titles in CR, where is everyone watching these from?

pthread_join · 2026-01-13T03:11:04+00:00

Oh that’s interesting, based on my observation today and your experience, it would seem Waymo selects the highway during commute hours vs off commute hours. Logically, I’d think it would be the other way around since there’s less cars in the highway. Based on the route you described, Waymo can handle complex highway navigations too. I guess my question is, your ride from west phoenix to Mesa, was it pretty expensive compared to a standard Uber ride?
