So you're implying that the conclusion of "unacceptable whiteness" is self-evident by simple examination of these two points... or what? Perhaps "unacceptably lacking in Black students" is a less divisive way to say

Same, but for 12 years and I agree, even though I've done a lot of high-level architecture in the past few years. Some of my job consists of engineering no-doubt, but until I've graduated with my engineering BS, I'm just &quo

Your skills have almost certainly deteriorated in that time if they have not been used. I think that is a valid concern from an employer's perspective, don't you?

Well, if you're sitting at a poker table I'm going to assume you're playing, else you literally "stand" and exit the game.

I don't think he said anything that merits more than a "what do you mean?" in response. So I ask this person too, "what do you mean?"

You mean after they generate a corpse of the person attempting to seize their assets? Generally that's "prison" unless they keep shooting.

I'm in Montana these days and just finished a book by Michael Punke about the Butte Mining Disaster. It does a fairly good job of pointing out how basically we're all assholes when you get down to it. This guy sticks out: https:&

Sure, that's all bad stuff, I agree. But cross a picket-line or hire on as a scab during a strike in a small town and you'd best watch your back... hence the motivation for the "wear a helmet" comment. My hometown was fo

As a person not necessarily opposed to labor unions, I'm curious as to how the previous post was hyperbolic? Violence and organized labor go together like milk and cereal, so let's not act like union folks are all saints. Somewhat

I'd venture a guess that the variance in quality between a set of "professional" electricians and another set of "professional" developers is different by an order of magnitude. Said another way, I can go down to t

> It's not what they call you, it's what they pay you This is correct because if I'm writing checks, the one making the most is generally my "senior" person. I suppose this doesn't scale well though, especia

That makes you management buddy, so saddle up and don't forget your helmet.

Same. I start with a book/podcast and if my mind likes it, I keep it on. But often my mind wanders (may it be a distraction or inspiration from whatever it is in my headphones) and I'll go ahead and operate sans audio.

I don't think it's incredibly rare, I've known plenty of people to start with nothing and get "rich", as in, worth enough to retire by 40. Unless your idea of rich is like 7 zeroes.

by mmmpop 4y ago
Maybe. If the OP were implying that, what would you say to that?

by mmmpop 5y ago
I dunno if I agree with this. I feel like I've got a nice combination of the three. I make median wages for "lead full stack developer" role at a company with no central office (I live in the middle of nowhere.) I also have a

Nah, I think a really, really, really sophomoric take on "how do we end world hunger" starts with "communism!" Then you snap out of it. I mean, human nature is a shame right?

Okay I'm just a systems engineer so certainly my material isn't as intense--fair points. I just didn't care for the explicit lack of rigor I encountered in my linear algebra class. I got a 94% and I can't remember anythi
