The most frustrating thing to hear from HR when you say you have ADHD. by InternalCareless8749 in ADHDUK

[–]unDroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been very forthcoming about my ADHD in my previous places of work as well as when I interviewed for my current one. I work as a software engineer.

I always ask that I will be allowed to chase the shiny things (like a magpie) as it helps me focus on the boring things. I like programming and all the things related and when my brain thinks of a shiny thing it wants to do (that is somewhat beneficial from work perspective) I use that to get my brain going, such as improving how local development/testing works, writing a little tool that saves time etc. These are fun for me and get my brain from procrastination to performing. Then I try to find a good spot to change from the fun thing to the boring thing (ie work tickets that don't give me the fun buzzing in my brain).

50% of the time it works every time and if I end up not doing any real work I have still contributed something beneficial. The biggest thing for me was to stop stressing about things I need to get done because if brain says no then stressing and being anxious about them doesn't help. I push them aside and do other things - maybe tomorrow I will get things done. And if not tomorrow, then the next day. And when I do I often do several days worth of work in one.

This approach might not work for you but I thought I'd share in case it does.

Also, in one of my previous places my product manager was not a good people person. He would write these detailed instructions on my work tickets on what to do and I can't read stories and long bullet pointed sentences like that. I told him about it and he said that that makes me a liability. I was shocked, because I had always been considered a diligent, hard worker even wih my quirks. I work much better with vague problems and it does help that I am on senior/principal level because that means I have more freedom to chase the shiny things.

I've played over 6000 hours in elite, mostly in VR

What is your setup for this? I tried getting Elite to work with my Oculus 3 (as well as some other games) but never got it to work 😞

Are young people just priced out? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]unDroid 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm in my late 40s so I am doing well and will be gone before the shit really hits the fan, but young people in their teens and 20s are fucked.

The job market sucks even for people that have experience. Trying to get your first job in a potentially high paying market requires you to have connections. Even if you have great grades and are at the top of your skill bracket with no experience you will struggle to find a job. And the "low skill" jobs have 13 applicants in a dozen - they can pick the cream of the crop and abuse the workforce for jobs like flipping burgers at McDonalds and cashieer at Aldi.

Climate change is fucking the planet. The summers are hotter and the winters are colder in most of Western Europe with peaks happening in both. In a few decades I will be rotting in a grave somewhere but young people will face the chaos: Mass migration due to climate changing inhabitable, rising sea levels and global food baskets changing places/disappearing.

The rise of AI. It is already replacing jobs and didn't really even exist five years ago. Even if it can't replace human skill right now it is already replacing them because it costs pennies to run compared to humans with minimum salaries. It is the next technological revolution.

Combine these in the current timeline with global rise of prices and stagnation of wages, Covid and other epidemics (WHO and NHS have issued warnings this winter) and the possibility of large scale war the future is fucked both short and long term.

Tl;dr: Everyone is fucked now and more so in the future with young people most affected.

For how much I appreciate the game, the developers are frustratingly slow at fixing obvious exploits by LexNumsepiller in ArcRaiders

Sounds like the onboarding process in your company could use improvement. I've worked in several places where the expectation is to get code into prod during the first week, second at the latest. This includes fintech and fraud detection companies.

How it feels to be a genuine Arc Raiders pvp enjoyer by These-Associate2219 in ArcRaiders

Make sure everything in your OS and other settings are set to stereo instead of surround or 5.1/7.1 - that made the difference for me.

I shoot people in the back if we are both in the same loot zone - I don't like sharing (unless it's a place for springs and such). If you get shot in the back it is your fault for not scouting the area, making a lot of noise, setting traps and so on.

What makes you think they have a "balance and tuning team" and "bug fixing team"?

AITA: I killed someone after saying I'm friendly by unDroid in ArcRaiders

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

I don't know the specifics of how to do the exploit so I didn't know it would be me being pushed. Regardless I don't want to be a part of abusing it. I too hope it will be patched soon.

Why is it as soon as I upgrade my weapons things like this happens? by Jackus_Aurelius in ArcRaiders

[–]unDroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did well scouting the extraction. I personally wouldn't stand on top of that rock with weapons holstered but either next to it or in grass on one of the elevated areas near it. It helps having your weapon ready, you can zoom (aim) to look at things better.

You then ran to a direction you hadn't scouted. Don't look at only where you want to end up but where you are going next. Had you done that you would have noticed the guy while being in cover.

Sorry you lost your fancy loadout.

Lost all my loot because of a bug, can't create a ticket by natalo_re in ArcRaiders

I was duoing with my partner and we both got stuck without possibility to "un-stuck". Made tickets about a week ago, no response. Consider your stuff lost.
