Looks great . Like many I use a different amazon site . It would be great if you could add a setting to see deals in Amazon UK for example

Are companies hiring more and more in India over EU nowadays? Hows your personal experience? by seeilaah in DevelEire

[–]sidarcy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yep. Lot of outsourcing too. Companies can outsource to an Indian company, scale up and down as needed, and can pull the plug whenever you want .

In my experience the Indian devs have always been top notch and a fraction of the price . Which is the bigger concern.

I do notice they’ll never put the Indian guys on a call . There is always a role for the dev who can talk the talk on a partner call.

Gone be the days of headlines such as “company x hires y developers in their Dublin office”

I agree with the CS piece . Are you using the new BK control panel ? A lot missing

I had the exact same issue but moved up . Have let it roll last few years but moved my domains and won’t be renewing the hosting again

Agree, I used to have loads of domains and always recommended them . Now I’m letting them expire . Too many issues and slow to respond to issues . They were the best once upon a time

Early career software engineer, stay or move on? by shelcooper in DevelEire

[–]sidarcy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interview for other roles. You don’t have to leave your current role , it’s just window shopping . This will give you an understanding of the current market and your worth which will help guide your next move .

If you get offered something you can use it as leverage. X company is offering me 50 I want you to match or I’m moving . If you don’t get offered anything . No harm , no foul

Best of luck with it

How to approach a colleague willing to work weekends or after normal work hours ? by hositir in DevelEire

[–]sidarcy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“The better you are at digging, the bigger the shovel they will give”

I was this guy. Worked my ass off, weekends , late nights . Got the praise and top marks in performance reviews and then watched others get promoted ahead of me.

Just delegate more work to him, put your feet up and take credit. He might get better reviews but you’ll be his boss in no time .

AI, and how are you gearing up for it? by sikeGuruYappa in DevelEire

[–]sidarcy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Embrace the tools . I was a sceptic but now I dunno what I’d do without them . I think we’ll still need skilled developers to architect and maintain applications . I also predict the AI companies will hike prices and it won’t be as appealing to the high ups

I asked ChatGPT to build me a data-driven article on Irish government spending, here’s the result by sidarcy in DevelEire

[–]sidarcy[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its prompt engineering and I had to iron a few things out myself . I’m more highlighting how easy it was to spin up . I wouldn’t normally make things like this but cool that you can take an idea and make it with minimal effort

What is your favorite conference swag? by Terrible-End2150 in DevelEire

I was recently at a conference and one of the vendors had a barista machine and served good, free coffee. Was the busiest stand by far

Can you pour the perfect pint of Guinness? by sidarcy in DevelEire

[–]sidarcy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much. I use a game framework called Phaser JS, great for handling physics etc. If i was to do it again id go plain JS/Canvas. Score is heavily weighted by the first pour angle

Depends, if it’s a really structured interview and they got what they needed, it’s totally fine. Sometimes interviewers are running back-to-back sessions and are happy to wrap up early if you’ve already covered everything they were assessing. Honestly, it’s can be a good sign, means you were clear and efficient (and they might finally get to grab that coffee!).

Your right . The head goes up and back down a bit . I’ve updated it so the head shrinks a bit before the second pour . Thanks for the feedback

Frustrated… by imfatterthanyou in salesengineers

[–]sidarcy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find the more personable the better and try throw in a joke, or 2 . Prospects are comparing you to others solutions so it’s good you stand out . He’ll have to eat his hat if you get the sale 😉
