BREAKING: New York Times tech workers just voted to unionize, forming the largest tech union in U.S. history.

anyone who slacks you “hey” with no question in the first message apparently does not experience anxiety

So there's a longer convo here. Instead I'll just end with some friendly advice. Stop talking about "merit". Ask other people to sing your praises and help you get promoted, because you're awesome. Also, sing other people's praises. Help them get promoted because they're awesome

@AngelCaban19 @ReberVision I think sabertooth did have them. Tigershark definitely had them

@ceeoreo_ Honestly, most tech interview processes are just elaborate hazing rituals. I bet the people conducting them didn’t have that many rounds.

@PlanetofFinks I think it’s because there is some lack of respect for game storytelling. The immersion in games and movies is different too just due to the direct control so you’ll overlook some things. A movie script has to make up for those gaps and tie together loose ends

@GergelyOrosz I think it’s ego and sometime a huge lack of tooling. I love doing it but it’s also a very exhausting process. Anecdotally, we’ve found it adds a sense of “urgency” that maybe isn’t there when working alone

@amvmf I guess those shows of force are only for some groups 🤔

@tomwalkerisgood Is he protecting the system from us or us from the system 🥴

@kefimochi Time tracked every 15+ minutes of my day, had to explain what I did, then submit at eod. Managers did not read the sheet and would reiterate questions about what I was doing. Ironically, I spent more time doing admin work for tasks than the tasks themselves.

@kyleshevlin It’s not you it’s a broken system, hopefully with more people refusing to do them these companies change their practices

@DILFLover1989 @nathanharenice I bet they think it’s a walking talking implementation of “how to make friends and influence people”

@acgodliman @kelsaywhat @gin__erso Every celebrity having an app is exactly what I think about when I see them shilling their nft of choice!!

Jaws is a timeless masterpiece because it’s premised on a raw, primal truth: the four types of guy are cop, scientist, fisherman, and mayor.

@Not_TheFace @ladidaix Citing Jordan Peterson isn’t quite the flex you think it is

@erikmbaker I think the sith were mostly remote? Like yeah they had the odd onboarding event at the opera but they rarely met in person
