Well if there's anyone who knows when it will be done, it's high level management
This is why I collect those old DVDs and blurays, I treasure some of those old movies that are damn hard to find now.
The BBC of Northanger Abbey was hard to find for me. Spouse and I are Jane Austen fans, and it features a young Felicity Jones and the Onion Knight from GoT. Looks like it's on Prime Video now, wasn't at the time. I looked everywhere, and actually found a Blu-ray copy on eBay that I grabbed. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0844794/
It's for firefighters and EMS to let them know there's a baby in the car if there is an emergency
The vehicle size arms race. Large cars force other cars to become larger just to match their mass in an accident. Still doesn't mean if you buy a large vehicle that you're not making the problem worse
From the forum post:
Just because he works at Plex doesn’t necessarily make his review fake.
Yikes the copium here. Reviews are meant for users of the app, this is so incredibly biased and in bad taste. I have had my shittiest companies ask us to leave positive reviews on Glassdoor. The shittiest ones.
Maybe their big redesign that no one asked for isn't doing well, and this is a self preservation thing, to get more people to download it. Maybe CEO asked them to. Maybe they're just over eager. All are excuses and not valid reasons to give a rating on your own company's product
Honestly have to agree. I was skeptical on your take until I read his blog post. I see zero reflection on it. Instead I see blame and anger, and yes frustration.
Look, the market is trash, but there are jobs for those willing to learn. He mentions php. Php hasn't been relevant for new jobs for a while. The only time I mention my php knowledge is it it's in reference to an older project I did. He mentions he's kept up on AI by "reading HN and articles" and then saying he has 5 projects he has essentially vibe coded it sounds like. That's not keeping up with AI from a software engineering standpoint. That's just using AI tools and reading articles. Keeping up with AI from an engineering standpoint to me is using their apis, running models, training your own models. Go under the surface, show curiosity.
We work in a field where a fundamental requirement is to keep learning. It's very easy to get comfortable in a role and not learn anything new, but you'll get stuck there. If you have unemployment learn every library you can. Learn Rust, Go, random languages. Choose the packages you don't know very well to build your app. Deploy your app yourself, learn CI/CD and infrastructure. Don't stand still.
I'm a dotnet engineer now. Right now that means I'm 40% dotnet, python, nosql, kubernetes, and React. 5 years ago I was Angular. 10 years ago I was php and webforms. You can't just say "I learned to code, I'm done!". In this field it's never done.
Edit, I also want to call out two other red flags from him. He's unemployed but the thought of in office was a red line for him? I prefer WFH of course, but if it's door dashing or an office, it's a no brainer. Then also if you have that many connections on LinkedIn and no one will vouch for you, that's a moment of introspection. I won't say all or even a majority I would expect to help out for me, but I have a decent network. You have to keep that up
I'm not saying every three months, but after 5-7 years like me, it's probably just a good idea. Who knows what devices have the passwords saved on it still
Oh man, I'm 50/50 on this one. I'm going to say...
Gonna run out the clock in Florida ey?
I said it then and I repeat it now, marketing just needed to justify their salaries. No one asked for it then, everyone is laughing at it now
Definitely thought it landed. It showed the true price of a rebellion, and the people and courage it takes. It didn't need fancy lightsabers or giant laser battles or cameos to stand on its own, it used honest storytelling and deep characters, and told it's story well.
I pity those who call it boring, what I consider the best piece of star wars since rogue one, which was probably the best since the original trilogy. If you want cameos and battles there's plenty of star wars like that, the sequels and other shows are full of it. If you want good, deep storytelling, intrigue, drama, Andor brought it in full
K, that's your opinion. I think it's fun asking my assistant do things.
