I see you stalking me. If I don’t respond, I may have a content filter on your instance, or you have been blocked. Sorey!

I still have a 128mb usb drive with alpine.

I dunno. It is a company branded swag gift. Got it like 20 or so years ago when I found it on the ground. Still works. Slow as heck.

Biden has passed things to lower these costs, implementing a federal cap on video calls for instance. While prisons can still weasel their way around different parts of the system, this is one an example of positive change from the Biden administration.

But for clarity, fuck profit prisons.

@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

Really though, has the current administration done anything else to improve the prison system besides this?

If you’re asking, you don’t know. While I’m not trying to say Biden is amazing and I’m happy it’s not Bernie Sanders (love you Bernie), I definitely think that the anti-Bidens haven’t done any research.

I’m just trying to mention the positives, since we’re all gonna have to vote for him one last time. 😫

If they hire the Boeing hitman, she’ll be found dead of suicide or suddenly contract a disease.

What kind of touch. Hard? Soft? Totally different distros. Swipe? Distro. Pinch? Distro. TAP! Believe it or not, distro.

And as a free market, I should choose if I want to pay them.

What reading style do you consider more tedious to read, A) short, concise, and precise, but using non-layperson vocabulary, B) using layperson vocabulary, but it's longer, drawn out, and not precise?

I’ve seen a lot of people on here be teased for difficulty expressing themselves. Either people complain “you’re using big person words to describe mundane things” when they’re aiming for precision or “woah, we don’t need that damn wall of text” when they’re aiming for clarity. It’s like people just want to...

Whichever one you choose, you should never use more words than you need to.

I’m sure he will offer to part in anyone who gets arrested during his campaign. Then conveniently forget about it should he get elected

It’s a common practice for companies to lay off high priced employees and then post those jobs for a lower amount. Why would they go back? If they’re smart they won’t. But some people need a job—at least until they can find another job.

It’s a bad practice either way, because these employees won’t ever feel their job is secure again, and that makes them care less about how the company does… as it should.

@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

You’d be surprised how many people lack negotiation skills. They think whatever is offered is what they get. I’ve coached many coworkers on how to play hardball with a smile.

Damn right. I love my company, but we have the money to pay well. I don’t want anyone working with me who feels like they are underpaid. We moved offices and it became a much longer commute for one of our juniors. I kept harassing my manger to give him a bump for the effort. He wouldn’t have taken the job with that commute, so we had to sweeten it for him. My manager said “his review is 6 months away” and I said “it’s not a raise, it’s for the inconvenience to his life.” Got him 10%—and got none of the credit, haha. But that’s okay, I feel good.

I want to work from home, at least part time, but the other two developers we have need quite a bit of handholding. They are good people and I want to keep them around, but if left to their own devices they would not work at all.

How can I get to the point where we can all work from home part time, without spending half of my day micromanaging them or keeping them on a WebCam just to be sure they’re working? I definitely don’t want to do that shit.

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

I’ll read that, but fuck you. Blaming me, a developer on the same level as them, is not cool. I’m not on my phone all day. I’m not taking 20 breaks. I’m not playing with my dog at home instead of working. It’s not a ME issue. This is literally the most open and supportive company I’ve worked for, and I’ve worked at some shitty places.

The rope. I’m afraid they will immediately hang themselves. They’re juniors, they need guidance. It’s difficult to guide people over Slack.

We do need better tasks created, and since we don’t have a proper PM, that usually falls on me. We aren’t a deadline oriented company. We all know what the project is. You take the time you need to make it happen. But historically, they have been waiting until the last minute to make the product and it comes back buggy. I’d be less concerned about what they do with their time if everything was spot-on. It’s getting a lot better, but not to where I’m comfortable just letting them loose.

Especially Juniors who are great when they are focused, but can easily get distracted.

And when goals aren’t met?

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

This is good advice, thank you. But HR… ugh I hate that.

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

They do need to learn. They’re fine once you explain it. Mostly it’s issues with the bigger picture, not just a single task. We try to let them take a whole project from back to front. That includes database and api design. Sometimes it’s great, but often they are way over complicating things. K.I.S.S.

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

That’s one way to do it.
