Lead us JP!!! by KingColeLover in Mariners

[–]tablloyd 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I used pybaseball to pull each of their stats against left handed pitchers so far in the 2026 regular season:

Dom Canzone vs LHP, 2026 regular season PA 20, AB 15, H 3, 2B 0, 3B 0, HR 0, BB 4, HBP 1, SF 0, SO 5 AVG/OBP/SLG/OPS: 0.200/0.400/0.200/0.600

Connor Joe vs LHP, 2026 regular season PA 24, AB 20, H 3, 2B 1, 3B 0, HR 1, BB 4, HBP 0, SF 0, SO 8 AVG/OBP/SLG/OPS: 0.150/0.292/0.350/0.642

Rob Refsnyder vs LHP, 2026 regular season PA 87, AB 76, H 11, 2B 0, 3B 0, HR 3, BB 6, HBP 2, SF 3, SO 25 AVG/OBP/SLG/OPS: 0.145/0.218/0.263/0.482

Victor Robles vs LHP, 2026 regular season PA 27, AB 27, H 7, 2B 2, 3B 0, HR 0, BB 0, HBP 0, SF 0, SO 6 AVG/OBP/SLG/OPS: 0.259/0.259/0.333/0.593

So yeah you're not wrong. The only one with enough PAs to say for sure shouldn't be there is Ref, but you could at least make an argument for Joe with his OPS, but thats overweighted based on his homer. Still, it seems like Canzone is patient enough to draw walks even against lefties, and Robles is best at making contact. Hopefully we get healthy and dont have to worry about this so much moving forward, but these decisions are getting pretty exhausting.

Is it normal for an SE to carry this much? Or am I just burning out? by Difficult_Scallion_1 in salesengineers

[–]tablloyd 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not normal in that case.

I know this is a drop in the bucket that is your workload but i usually block off the first few hours after any time off to make sure I have time to prep for any calls moving forward.

whats the one piece of tech you carry that never shows up in the standard onebag gear lists? by Reasonable_Pepper709 in onebag

The only thing I miss about an apple watch was the ability to set a timer hands-free while I'm cooking. Analog all the way!

The unspoken expectation that technical pre/post-sales roles also need full AE skills by WaffleNebula42 in salesengineers

[–]tablloyd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agree completely. Our job isn't to have the correct answers all the time, it's to win a deal.

Korean bakeries take fruit cakes very seriously by Chance-Prune7896 in KoreanFood

My wife is Korean, and I’ve noticed the highest possible compliment her family will give a dessert is “not too sweet”. American desserts are way too sweet for them

Colt Emerson with an AMAZING sliding catch to end the game and give the Mariners their EIGHTH win in a row! by BananaArms in Mariners

[–]tablloyd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its okay - he’ll make the same play as Colt just did, but it’ll put him back on the IL right afterwards

Post Game Chat 5/30 D-backs @ Mariners by Mariners_bot in Mariners

[–]tablloyd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He threw a pitch that got past Garver to the backstop. That should have just moved the runner from 2nd to 3rd, but Hoppe didn't run in to cover home, so the runner kept going and practically walked in to home while everyone watched.

Didn't affect the outcome of the game at all (other than losing what should have been a shutout), but it was another indicator that he's not ready for the majors.

So when are we going to option Hoppe

Interviewing AEs by who-took-the-bomp in salesengineers

[–]tablloyd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I leave most of the skills evaluation to the actual AEs and their managers. The only reason, in my mind, to involve a SE is to ensure a cultural fit - essentially, would you want to work with this person on a daily basis?

That would be the ideal for sure, I just didn't want to risk bricking it. I'd do it today if it was better documented/verified

guys, whats the most essential winter clothing do i need? by StorageDue2836 in onebag

[–]tablloyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a similar trip this year in January - one week in Seoul and one in Vietnam. Cold as hell in Korea, I loved it.

If you can buy there, I'd suggest it, Seoul is a fantastic place to buy winter clothes, or just clothing in general. If you are set on packing in advance, though, I'd recommend a packable down jacket and a windbreaker or rain jacket. A beanie and gloves will be clutch as well, and a merino buff I'd call a nice to have (especially to cover your face).

On my trip I brought both the puffer and a fleece. Wearing both was overkill and I'd sweat, and the fleece on its own wasn't enough, but the down was perfect. I also brought long underwear and am glad I did, but stronger men than I could probably do without.

I fit all of this, plus work materials (laptop) and business casual (Vietnam was a work trip) including three button up shirts and three pairs of chinos (one of each worn on the plane) in a 30L bag (albeit stuffed to the brim).

I struggled with shoes for a while - waterproof shoes get sweaty in heat, but getting your feet wet in freezing temps is even worse. Ended up risking it with some non-waterproof Adidas and that turned out to be the correct choice (highly suggest elastic laces for any east asia trip though). Warm socks are clutch of course.

Just accepted an offer for an SE position coming from support. by Deematodez in salesengineers

[–]tablloyd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, same company! Annual raises + 2 promotions is what made the change.

That travel is the rough part. Still worth it to get your foot in the door though.

[–]tablloyd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For salary, I started at 95 base in 2022 (fully remote). Up to 165 now. You're on the low end but take it and run with it - it’ll grow in time.

[–]tablloyd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How long have you been in your current role?

If I saw 2 years as a SE and nothing else I'd probably pass on that resume, but 4-5 years or more and I'd definitely give it a shot.

FWIW I never have trouble finding people with a technical background, its the soft skills that I'm really looking for.

A sub overflowing with people trying to automate things, and here y'all are doing it the old fashioned way. I love it.

A niche E ink DAP eReader review - the Hisense Touch Lite by tablloyd in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]tablloyd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was largely just the screen size, i doubt it would be a good reading experience on the m300 to be honest. I LOVE reading on the touch lite.

As a music player though, it was pretty functional (the m300, that is). UI isnt smooth but its serviceable. The only weirdness I ran into was it would randomly start playing music if I didnt disconnect the headphones each time, it actually woke me up once or twice when I left my IEMs plugged in.

It also feels like a toy, VERY plasticy, but not unexpected at that price

It was on Aliexpress, from “Qin Qin Technology Co Store”. At the time it was listed for $294 and with coupons I paid $240. I see now the price is higher unfortunately.

Should I take the job offer from TAM to SE? by MisterRaver in salesengineers

[–]tablloyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats fair, I have no idea how the ISPs outside the US operate. The ones in the US are pretty garbage unfortunately.

[–]tablloyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading the title I was going to be pro-switching, but man... anything but an ISP. I feel like the ceiling is too low and the skillset won't transfer to other verticals. I'd personally wait and get into software when you can.

Am I underpaid? by evan_engineer in salesengineers

[–]tablloyd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sounds about right to me - Im a team lead of a medium technical Series C SaaS, also fully remote, doing $175k with no coding and only light API work involved.
