I don’t even let them in the room. Housekeeping left the door to my room open once for the entire day. I was across from the elevator. Thankfully nothing was stolen, but ya know, fool me once

I think HR is just ill equipped for technical interviews, but they try to conduct them regardless.

Was denied a position because HR felt my experience “lacked depth” which I still can’t understand 3 years later.

Did the same role at a larger company. Had more responsibility than they were giving me. Developed my own tools for job automation. Grew their business from nothing to half a mil a month. Experienced all stages of growth and realized massive success.

After that interview I kept getting technical interviews and getting passed on because I was too senior for the position

I wish I grabbed the ultra. Maybe I still should.

I went from the S8+ to the S21. Night and day difference, obviously. But the S8+ did everything I needed. It was the same size with a better camera and battery.

Idk what Samsung did on the S21, but it’s the first time I’ve been impressed by the speakers on a phone. The separation of audio channels is wild

I need to fly from NJ to California in a few months. Economy tickets are around $275. I’d like a bit of extra legroom for the long flight, so I check out Economy plus. Economy plus tickets are $800. What in the actual fuck is this? It’s not first class. I get no added benefits other than a few inches of extra leg room.

I honestly work at a company that would fit most ideals for the average anti-work/work-reform subscriber.

Unlimited PTO, with minimum PTO usage requirements. Free medical. They pay for my gym membership. They pay for tampons for my household. Full time remote. I hold equity in the company. Annual performance bonuses. And they disclose the financials of just about everything to employees. It’s pretty wild

Nah, we document every fuck up, and sit him down for a come to Jesus moment

My time management is great. I do my job and the job of the person underneath me, because we can’t find anyone worth a damn.

Oh absolutely. It’s good to have at least one beer you can always come back to. For me that’s been the Dogfish Head Sea Quench Ale

Love Cascade. Haven’t been there, but I buy their beer out here in NJ.

I got started on sours because of them

It’s true. Especially on the east coast.

I was down in Austin not long ago. Went to Jester King. Wow, cool brewery, and really good sours

It’s true. But I also hate the flavored sours. Where they’re literally adding flavoring to beer.

I’m currently enjoying Axe & Arrow. Honestly great with actual fruit.

Coming from C++ and Java over to Python was challenging. The IDE I used at the time also did not like when I used tabs instead of spaces, which drove me up a wall.

I will say that for beginners where python is their first language, it does a good job at reinforcing good practices for writing legible code.

Sour beers are where it’s at

30 years old. US. I can and do drive a stick shift.

Really hard coming from a family with only automatic cars. Very few people have stick cars, and even fewer are willing to teach you in their own car.

Can’t even rent a stick shift to practice on. Your best bet is to sign up with a driving school that offers stock shift lessons, which I almost did.

Instead, a buddy of mine was kind enough to let me practice for 2 hours with him in a beater he had. Then I went and picked up my brand new WRX. Stalled like 12 times on the way home. But I figured it out!!

I help companies sell products on Amazon.

One sold protein powder. Product title says “25g of protein”. First bullet point says “25g of protein per serving”. Main image of the product clearly shows “25g protein” on the label. Second image makes it more clear with “25 Grams of Protein Per Serving” in big bold letters. The A+ content (images in product description) repeat this information in big bold letters as well. Both the image gallery and the A+ content showed a picture of the supplement facts panel. The top rated review for the product called out that they liked the 25g of protein per serving.

Customer messages me, “How much protein per serving? Doesn’t say anywhere on the listing.”

Rage. Instant, immediate, and intense rage.

Get your thyroid checked out. Turns out major depressive disorder can be brought on by hypothyroidism. Who knew?

I used to fly a lot. I’m at the point where I board the plane, sit, close my eyes, and wake up when we start pulling into the gate at our destination.

I don’t use a neck pillow or anything. Usually just grab a water bottle before boarding, because my mouth gets crazy dry.

As one of the people who came to Lemmy because of Sync, I’d say very dedicated fans. It was hands down the absolute best Reddit app on Android. Still feeling salty about what reddit did, so I followed Sync here.
