I like remote work but literally the most successful banks are all in the office. Citadel never really left. Goldman Sachs was pretty quick back to RTO. JPM is probably the next successful bank. The ones that are most remote really are seco

My 10 year old LG is like this. Are you sure they ever had anything different? I dont really like it but never had a problem.

I'd kinda like a VPN with my own storage but gave up this is one of the main reasons. I just dont have time to keep an eye on all this stuff.

The last few jobs I had all ran confluence for docs. I dont know why its so slow but does the main things you want. Any tips on docs that integrate with support tickets and maybe some AI would be great.

Absolutely! I'm sure some couples are both readers, still not sure I'd have the time though.

Right and how do you stop your wife and/or kids interupting you every 30 seconds? I also I have a huge backlog of tech books that I should work on because this career kinda requires it.

My first job was from an ad in the local paper, I sent a copy of my resume via mail with a covering letter and my home phone number. Also agents were actually useful, they were a hub where employers went to look for people and the agent had

yeah I had a MSCE, I took it off my resume, I think most people with qualifications use it to show they've reached the minimum level. It doesn't show you're in the top 10% or even top 50%.

It really depends on the company. I've interviewed 200+ people, I've never seen a cover letter.

> I kept my current title and only got a 3% pay increase. I've been working for nearly 30 years now. This is pretty standard. Talk to your friends who dont work in tech a 3% raise is pretty good.

Agreed, I've worked in a dozen firms now in many different teams and never seen anyone pairing.

Anyone have mechanical keyboards banned at work because of security risk? technically we aren't allowed to use them, but I can't use the $5 junk they provide us with. Its a real risk though I wonder how many offices enforce rules

> It's just one dude's preferred names for things, not a magic recipe. Pretty much most frameworks can be described like this. I think its worth choosing one when you start then sticking with it. Like you say, refactoring down

Kinda feel in 2024 we could have something better by now.

To me this means 1) You aren't hanging around the right people 2) You aren't talking about stuff you're interested in 3) You need to drink more.

Dinner parties at someone's house are such a lost art. I'm going to use this winter to start to bring them back!

> It's funny, when I was in business school years ago (please forgive me) getting a job at McKinsey or BCG was more or less the crème de la crème of post-MBA gigs. Still is though right? Just now you have enough experience to be wi

I think this is because normal people dont use git and/or console text editors. Its a powerful combination that makes markdown useful.

That isn't laundering. In fact I think its really bad for banks to be the judge whether customers are doing illegal work eg https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/05/business/banks-accounts-c... . They shou

I think Fang companies have a lot of curiosity driven research, just the output is open source software instead of physical products. AI especially.

Here in New Jersey our property taxes are crippling. However if you have a big 5+ acre yard and can sell $1k worth of produce you are "farm" and taxed at a much lower rate. You might need a second job to stay afloat...

Maybe you're right, systems these days are more 24/7 than they used to be seems like devs these days have had it so easy for so long though.

I've done a bunch of college tours this year with my daughter. Its kinda shocking to see so many homeless men on the streets, then the universities majority women. I'm kinda hoping she'll go to a school that is 50/50. Ge

It feels like we're getting much more than 1.5 degrees. Here in NYC it used to snow several times a month, we've had one tiny storm the last two years. Just 20 years ago I rarely used AC in the summer, now its on nearly every day
