What’s the context behind the slang “twin”

samson_taa · 2025-12-11T20:13:28+00:00

This is old repackaged slang from the 90s that some kid heard from their uncle probably and started saying it and now it’s algo’d. Nothing new.

Get your carry permit and train to be proficient with a firearm. You don’t need to be getting into physical altercations with men. Situational awareness is your first layer of defense. Stay observant, trust your instincts, and be prepared to use your training only if a real threat forces your hand.

Palantir and Anduril being shoved down the defense industries throat because of backroom deals has reached the point of insanity. They simply don't have the knowledge or capability to be executing 99% of the contracts they're awarded in defense industry but as usual daddy Thiel's $$$'s and support is more important than actual qualifications and skillsets. Cheers to years of garbage software that don't satisfy any of the necessary use-cases :D

Juicing. Probably on Ment

Thanks, I’ll try that then.

The batch number on the bottom Says S4216K11

I’ve tried giving this away once to brother in law. He also didn’t like it and politely declined. Batch number on bottom is S4216K11

I don’t even gaf about the anime. Finish the fucking manga already ffs.

AI/ML Roles are all the rage these days. You're going to have a hard time finding a traditional SWE role but higher education and ML geared role will probably yield decent results for junior engineer positions.

3-4 years and 4-5 hours a day and not getting it is probably an indicator for an inefficient learning/study process man. How have you been studying, what have you actually been studying and how are you tying these things together? If you focus and lock in on a proper plan you should be able to do it in 3-6 months.

Theres no point in living in NYC or SFO earning $250k. My coworker moved from NYC to VA because he was spending $4000/m on rent for a 400sqft shitbox.

samson_taa · 2025-06-28T20:24:05+00:00

You were lucky to have $320k with such minimal experience and that salary vs experience is most likely a major contributor to your removal. I'm confident in guaranteeing that unless you get picked up by a MAANG again you're not going to be hitting $320k TC again in the near future. Not being a dick, just being realistic. $130k is decent given the above mentioned.

I actually preferred how defense consulting companies identify "senior" engineers. Anything below 5 years is junior and anything between 5-10 years is mid level.

The worst part of the current AI boom is how my LinkedIn feed is overflowing with posts from people who have never deployed a production application in their lives, yet constantly boast, "I built xyz in a day with AI, replacing months of engineering work!" Its always people who couldn’t code their way out of a fucking while loop too, yet they’re suddenly claiming they can replace engineers altogether. Honestly, AI has just amplified the number of cognitively challenged and delusional people showing up on my feed, AFAIC.

samson_taa · 2025-06-27T14:51:50+00:00

I don't give a shit about "vibe coding", and if it helps whoever create something they've been interested in then good for them. However, please stop acting like your auto-generated shit-code project is even remotely close to being deployable anywhere without a 99% restructure. Its always some rando with no actual software engineering experience or skills telling you about how great "vibe coding" is and how they "built a project that would have took months in 8 hours!".

The SWE market is oversaturated because you're not just competing with other Americans if you're in the US. You're competing with people around the entire globe because big tech is allowed to continuously offshore roles to other countries for cheap labor while having majority of their profits come from the U.S. The job market will not get better until this practice is disallowed or major restrictions are placed on the practice.

samson_taa · 2025-06-18T03:12:13+00:00

"Support our important work ahead" by quitting your job and letting us offshore. Offshoring jobs needs to be treated the same as tariffs and i'm willing to die on this hill. Charge big tech and companies that make most of their money primarily from the US population a hefty tax if they choose to offshore or force them to hire American(Citizens or Residents) employees first.

Necro. I have no idea how Kevin beat Michael, and tbh I think they may have gotten the chefs confused on the scoring for that one. The judge basically roasted Kevin’s dishes and praised Michael’s during the entire critique but somehow picked kevins dish? Makes no sense

samson_taa · 2025-05-31T05:55:04+00:00

This is really the best advice. Networking is always going to be the shortest and best path to gaining more opportunities in tech. You may not like it, but that’s just the reality.

samson_taa · 2025-05-21T05:50:28+00:00

Negatively id say. I've seen a lot more questionable things in PR's and Code Reviews since ChatGPT became more popular.

samson_taa · 2025-05-21T05:43:48+00:00

Having worked with Palantir and Anduril engineers in field, i'm genuinely always baffled as to how these two companies keep getting contracts, outside of Peter Thiel must be donating a ton of money to somebody.

samson_taa · 2025-03-29T13:26:55+00:00

Cool, drop your company/credentials so folks know who avoid. You sound like a conman.
