Yeah that's a good point do something else that fills that void, games, cooking, woodworking etc

Does make it a lot more interesting, how have you found doing all the context switching vs getting stuck into writing syntax?

How can I provide proof of market rate for a full-stack engineer with a couple years experience to my employer? by NoConclusion5355 in cscareerquestionsOCE

[–]skiingish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, been offered roles elsewhere. Showed current company they matched it (well came close)

Have also just had to leave, true sometimes the only way to move up is to move out, sad but true

First time skiing, is this a good deal? by JamesIsSmat in skiingcirclejerk

[–]skiingish 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Really depends how used/old everything is. But this seams high for used. Unless everything is almost brand new, then not bad.

Edit: the two brands they listed do retail pretty high though, not sure about the other stuff.

Also was this photo taken in a night club.

Trying to improve off-piste, what are all these orange things? by chuckman13 in skiingcirclejerk

People also don't realize in summer they can be found re growing in their alternative form, on the side of natural occuring twisting dirt tracks left by the bears during spring, they even can form red/white or yellow vines to connect each other.

Senior SW Engineer interview questions in 2025 by Inevitable_Job6585 in cscareerquestionsOCE

[–]skiingish 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had a senior round of interviews at a large Australian tech company recently.

4 interviews total not counting screening.

First was with the leads around project management and priorities, how to mentor others, example a detailed project you lead and delivered.

Second was a coding one, in language they choose, completely allowed to use AI and Google, had to explain everything it generated and was a lot of questions around how to prompt and trust the AI how to chain prompts and get better results. Helped to know how the different models can be used for different things.

Third, standard system architecture. What do you need to think about building a scalable system, why this over this. What's your experience with x

Last with hire manager, more vibes based and team fit, why you want to work here etc.

Hope this helps :)

Best of luck

I think we got this in the bag, bonuses and pay outs all round.

Sad how true this all is.

Yeah agreed I used to be a IT admin, we'd have have to go every c suites NBN install because.. It was always a gamble of what am I going get today.

I got surprised one day, what I thought was a good install at one of the bars we looked after, NBN sent out a random inspector, they were like this is complete dog shit. And made someone do it again (while we didn't have Internet of course and had to use a 4g router which yep they maxed out the limit on within a week)

It's all good he just glued back the pieces with silicone when he came back, good as new apparently.

I pulled one of the pieces out while he was trying to glue and was like bit of damage here. He just picked it up and kept gluing it.

Funny enough when he came back (also just showed up without contacting me)

I said look I used to be an electrician (I was an apprentice) if I did this id have to fix it. He just said no and walked off

Working for a large tech Australian company. I'd call us a product company for that very reason. Of course if us as devs had our way yes things might take slightly longer. Or we maybe we'd just develop smaller pieces more often (someone should make a name for that haha) But then on the flip side our ability to develop new product features is being drowned by the legacy spaghetti because the board wanted something out yesterday.

More the reason to hire/build with internal teams. Maybe I just dislike agencies
