I've said it before on here: being a lower-level manager in a large company is worse than an entry-level job. No one cares about your job experience (all those painful internal tools you now have to use to manage and report on your tea

This is what scares me about these chat interfaces. In today's world, an ad is clearly an ad.. Or is it? Even now we have advertorials and "sponsored posts" that blend into content maybe a little too much sometimes. What ha

Not sure if anyone else has said this but: the timing is also pretty bad. A lot of companies have tight budgets for 2023 and I suspect people are waiting out Q1, maybe even Q2, before they start to spend too much, just to see how things sh

Sure, that's a personal choice, but I was talking about everyone in this thread saying Woz should have been charged with a felony for his joke. Which is ridiculous. In your scenario, would you actually be ok or understanding if the &q

Huh I've walked in front of the Bellagio hotel many many times and I never even thought about this, but it's totally true. Those windows are massive but the proportions are deceptive. Neat.

And people jaywalk all the time. Can we stop being so obtuse and only look at the letter of the law and think about the actual practical real-life consequence as a measure of severity? This was a joke, and no harm was done. Are you really

Sure, but I suspect the motivation behind this post is specifically to learn about what people love to work with, not to be convinced about what to use for their own MVP? At least that's the value I'm getting out of everyone'

I think the idea here is that when you're on contract, you are much more aware that your employment is time-limited and transactional. So you live your life, financially and otherwise, with this in mind. I have no doubt that this sound

Or just about the fact that in large enterprises a lot of the diagrams are owned by architects, and they're done in some esoteric inscrutable format where only the architect can make changes and updates to it _after_ talking to the dev

Becoming a manager in large enterprise companies is basically an entry-level position all over again.. Except people care even less about your job experience since you're "leadership" now and are expected to toe the line no m

They're spreading it out over the full year. Interesting that they would announce it up front like this? What does this do to morale and retention?

This may not be correct because OP actually has StoreCycle on their Linkedin but only until Sep 2022. So this may be a new/different venture.

Yeah those are two completely different scenarios, don't you think? A rich western elite just buying protection from Islamic warlords in Africa sounds like a movie plot. It isn't remotely the same thing as your example of someone
