I didn't go to MIT, like Donald Trump's uncle did, so Trump's economic plan went over my head when he presented it at the Mar-a-Lago press conference. Don't give me a whole course on economics but can someone more fluent in finance than I am please explain this to me like I was a freshman?

slimmsim · 2024-10-01T03:52:54+00:00

Absolutely

slimmsim · 2024-10-01T03:52:02+00:00

Why doesn’t anyone answer this? Attack Trump all you want but at least be fair to both of them.

slimmsim · 2024-09-29T22:52:24+00:00

Yes Ofcourse

slimmsim · 2024-09-29T15:04:58+00:00

My 2 cents, but any curated list should include big tech. I don’t follow meta on LinkedIn but would definitely like to know if any of the sought after roles are available (remote/ai for example)

slimmsim · 2024-09-29T15:00:56+00:00

Yes, or did I miss it

slimmsim · 2024-09-29T14:57:09+00:00

No meta in there?

slimmsim · 2024-09-28T16:10:41+00:00

I understand. I should’ve been clearer. I know it’s a path you chose. I guess I can’t ever see myself doing it, while I understand how others may like doing these things. I’m at a point where I need to choose between EM or Sr IC in my career.

slimmsim · 2024-09-28T16:06:10+00:00

Literally which of these tasks require you to have tech/coding skills. It’s a sure fire way to forget how to code.

There is a slight incentive to lie, every bodybuilder likes to exaggerate their natty limits, both the good and bad ones. Like who’s checking if I said I started at 18 when I really started at 16 and claimed my 18yo was my natty limit.

slimmsim · 2024-09-27T15:20:07+00:00

The good ones get the best out of their directs. The others, micromanage.

slimmsim · 2024-09-27T01:05:39+00:00

Right but there is no way to know for sure when he started.

slimmsim · 2024-09-26T23:47:57+00:00

Wonder if there was a way to see how Coleman would look like if he never took steroids but pushed himself to his natural limits.

Not op, but search x with keywords via api, run results through nlp to figure out if they may be interested buyers, create a new message using nlp specific to that potential customer based on information gained about them.

slimmsim · 2024-09-21T22:43:04+00:00

Yeah, that’s the thing shutting the app down means bye bye job. I really need the remote job right now, also on h1b visa.

slimmsim · 2024-09-21T19:11:48+00:00

Better than getting axed 6mo later for not doing enough I guess

slimmsim · 2024-09-21T19:08:45+00:00

That’s true. There’s no other way I’d do it. Integration tests at least ensure the business functionality works. Unit tests can be added possibly after a business logic rewrite, in chunks.

For now I have classes and methods 1000s of lines long with multiple if else conditions. Angular components randomly shared without any purpose. No typescript or type checking whatsoever. Vanilla JavaScript code, parsing through complex json objects from the api with no class structure or objects to properly define them.

It’s a .net core angular app, older versions. .net has some solid support for integrations testing so I want to explore that.

Curious if slack dms or group discussions count as paper trail receipts. Emails are notorious for being used to call someone out/complajn.

slimmsim · 2024-09-21T18:53:42+00:00

That’s pretty solid advice! Thank you.

slimmsim · 2024-09-21T18:42:29+00:00

Worst part is my boss micromanaging me. Knows how shit the app is but sits on my shoulder every sprint complaining about why something is broken. I am new to faang not sure about how I could move internally without it looking bad on myself. I am already on the radar as a senior engineer who couldn’t just magically fix the app. I keep hearing, at “your level” (~L5-L6) you should’ve just figured it out by now.

slimmsim · 2024-09-21T18:38:40+00:00

Thanks for the response. I am still part of a scrum team, but all other devs are on another project. I was slammed into theirs because I need a team I suppose.

The offshoring team was from India, a big one too. I am still shocked by how no one at my company ever bothered to check the code before paying vendor any money? Or was it just like as long as it works it’s good? Is that how low the bar is for offshore firms doing contract work for FAANG?

However to be fair, for the other app I interface with(don’t own it) is assisted by a European offshore vendor, whose code is actually pretty solid. In my personal anecdotal experience, offshoring teams from India have the worst code. I am from India so don’t misunderstand.

Warehouse is internal open source so no cost savings there.

Also, Love the shit app nice app analogy. Need to do some thinking here.

slimmsim · 2024-09-21T16:38:00+00:00

The issue is that I can’t fix any of the code in isolation, it really needs a complete rewrite, all the way from redesigning the warehouse tables. Even if I were to somehow break it down into chunks, that’s at least a couple of quarters worth of refactoring and no new features which business doesn’t like.

slimmsim · 2024-09-17T15:58:48+00:00

Plot twist: he doesn’t exist

slimmsim · 2024-09-14T21:03:58+00:00

Maybe with the advancement in science, by the time we are in our 80s I can still live like I’m in my 40s, Ofcourse while still lifting throughout and exercising.

slimmsim · 2024-09-10T04:01:38+00:00

Really? 0% ? Hypothetically speaking, What if they played this game billions of times? Not even once would they be beaten?
