996 is the concept out of the Chinese tech industry I’m familiar with - from 9 to 9, 6 days a week, totalling 72 hours worked per week.

A hug is a standard greeting between well-acquainted men in Sweden, so yeah. I hug my friends and family.

At that point, you’re basically just listening to podcasts. Leaning into it might be a good choice, since there’s no visual element that gets lost when listening to podcasts, as compared to YouTube videos.

Those things sound super great… but they’re of course all meant to keep you working around the clock, meeting deadlines.

This is not going to be universally true at all big tech-companies. There are places with perfectly reasonable WLB on top of huge salaries and fantastic perks.

These places are usually big enough that you’re going to see extremes on both ends within the same company - some departments with huge deadline pressure cultures, and some with highly relaxed work settings. It can be a bit of a gamble.

I didn’t graduate from university.

In order to get some more money, I decided to take a TA-position at the school.

For context, I live in Sweden - university costs nothing to attend here, and you get access to a mix of governmental assistance and near-zero interest loans (at about 1/3 assistance 2/3 loans) to finance your living costs while attending university. To get this money you are required to get passing grades in a certain percentage of the courses you take, around 75% is required). If you do not meet these requirements, you lose your benefits, and quickly risk not being able to afford food and rent.

This TA-position however took up more time than I thought it would, and as such, I didn’t manage to pass the courses I was taking. Since I no longer met the passing grades requirement, I could no longer get student loans and assistance, meaning that I had to keep working TA gigs to stay afloat. This finally became untenable, and I decided to drop out and move to another city and look for work.

So far, it’s worked out extremely well. I’ve been ridiculously lucky.

You can’t deny that it correctly predicted the most likely token in this case.

I think it might have to do with the broad anti-AI sentiment that seems to be present here at Lemmy.

I don’t disagree, but for obvious reasons, we can’t access Google from a decade ago, since they’ve made it unavailable.

I’m not really describing an ideal state, this is a mere matter of practicality.

I’ve started relying more on AI-powered tools like Perplexity for many of my search use-cases for this very fact - all results basically warrant a pre-filtering to be useful.

Yeah, they don’t care that senior talent left because that was the whole point.

Popular might be overselling it a bit there, buddy. It exists and some people eat it.

Now kebab pizza, there’s a popular pizza for you. With good reason, I might add - it’s the god emperor of hangover foods.

Summit is the best option I’ve found, to replace RIF that I used to use back when I was using reddit.

It’s a tool like any other, appropriate under some circumstances and inappropriate in others.

Blindly rejecting it without considering whether it’s appropriate in the context is honestly just as bad as choosing it without considering whether it’s appropriate in the context, fwiw.

What’s wrong with multiple returns?

I’d be interested in this as well.

I follow the Duolingo Spanish Podcast, which has had some moderately interesting stories over the years, but I’d like to hear something a bit more challenging for sure.
