Worry not. As long as our stakeholders are not able to formulate unambiguous, complete and correct specifications, we will always have a job.

And also not 'very sweet'. That movie left me thoroughly depressed, needing to watch a second movie right after, just to flush the sadness away.

Imho that is absolutely not doing the role justice. For some people that may hold true, but I would expect a data engineer to know everything about distributed systems, database indexes, how different databases work and why you pick them, p

So it doesn't detect poachers, it detects humans. And it requires drones flying non-stop over gigantic masses of land. Edit: having dabbled in this field myself during my studies, I know from research that one of the biggest problems i

If you have a beefy PC for working at home and a thin and light laptop for working from the office, you can leave your whole dev environment on your PC and then access it on the laptop when you work from the office. You can do this over RDP

Yes, I like Trello. Although that was acquired.

At this point I'm just holding for speculative reasons. Not because of any fundamental believe in the technology (like I used to, in the first years).

Yes, selling at the bottom. Great plan. And then FOMO buy in again at the next peak. Not saying I believe in cryptocurrencies, at all, but I've been active in the space for 9 years now and after every bubble it was the same again: it j

Do you use ACI at that scale? It's interesting how Microsoft also promotes AKS rather than ACI. For Azure ML they even explicitly state that ACI should not be used for production purposes, which I find quite curious.

Where does this data come from? It doesn't look like people took these videos on purpose just for this site, as they show off kind of random (sometimes weird) things.

Im in the same boat. Started with bitcoin in 2013, bought ethereum in the presale, did freelance app development for all sorts of crypto startups (including coinbase). Was a true believer in the technique. But over the years it became clear

Sounds just like a normal postal service then? At least in my country it's the default that the national post service delivers your packages in 1 day.

> Having used 2 XPS13 (9343 and 9370) as my daily driver for years, this is simply not true in my experience. That's good to hear for you, but I'm not just making this up. I have the XPS 13 9310 which mostly comes with the AX50

Just because you can, doesn't mean that you should. For some things it's just better to use a rules-based engine that is always correct, rather than a heuristics based algorithm that gives answers that are merely close.

Hah. I was wondering if it could be that; a test to see how I would react.

You mean senior level positions get a lot of responses?

So by interview I mean the initial one, after I applied for a job and got a confirmation that they'd like to talk to me and we agreed on a date/time and had a zoom meeting set up. These are roles in Amsterdam. In case of Microsoft

I'm applying for Amsterdam, I think the recruiter is from Western Europe. But my interviews did kind of coincide with the Russian war on Ukraine, so it might affect it indeed.

> The only thing I can think of is they're finding something during last-minute research that makes you untouchable. Maybe a really damning search result? Hah. Since it happened 3/3 times, I started wondering if it was just me.

Hi Inglor, thank you very much for the offer. I'm giving Microsoft the benefit of the doubt here, they did reach out after the planned interview. I prefer to not escalate as I don't want anyone to get personally burned over this,
