We just re-orged at MSFT and we're shedding the on-call rotation and the need to do prod testing (will be fully done by QA teams instead now). All the shit parts are going away

>>110208704
Yeah the Orange Chicken was some of the best ever, but like you said the Chinese food place rotated, so you could get it at other cafes. 9 was the only one with the fish sandwich and the old bay waffle fries. When they moved me to another part of the campus that had worse cafes, that sealed my decision to leave. It wasn't the only reason, but it was the last straw.

>>110208736
I also got moved to the other part of campus with worse cafes, but I've also been working remote for like 10 months so I would gladly take any cafe over the garbage I make for myself

>>110208724
Damn, I wonder if my old team is getting rid of on call. That was the main reason I left. The teams kept getting smaller, so they combined more and more rotations, and everyone was on call for even more shit that they didn't understand. Everyone was getting 5 or more Sev 2s per day.

Btw shout-out to the folk who made my recent posts into another meme. I'm already used to that but why not give me any credit?

Why not just msg me in any of the games I play or on Ms teams or just make kf thread if you'd like to talk?

>>110208753
My specific rotation never really got sev 2s as our problem. We would get asked to check our component, and 99% of the time it was either not our problem, or immediately solvable (shit's broken, replace it). We are only getting rid of the on-call because our product is changing from monthly releases to releases every 24 months or more, so there's nothing we would even be able to really do on on-call

I'm so confused by this entire story. EzDubs was a non-player with minimal tech: their entire differentiator was using two models for translation, one for voice cloning and one for translation. The founders are all indian and came from Cisco to start with, and the Speech AI group at that. They had a few million in seed money, which came from different tech indians. Then Cisco acquired them, effectively hiring the same employees back with a big paycheck. And now the president (also indian) "found" the other indian to vibecode their entire codebase.

I'm not sure how to read this as anything other than a circular scam to bleed Cisco dry.

>>110208913
It’s likely a false story put out be Cisco to try and see if Cisco’s competitors like Fortinet will try and “copy” it and hopefully forestall cisco’s demise for a while, or at least until the current round of execs can siphon out enough money.

Happens all the time across all industries, even between Coke and Pepsi.

PSA: iPhone Duo will get you so much attention from women

This is a PSA to single men (and maybe a warning to married ones), the iPhone Duo will get you a ridiculous amount of attention from women.

Earlier today, my wife and I had just finished up our weekly grocery run and I decided we would stop by our local bakery (Panera Bread) to pick up a loaf for the week (I personally can’t stand cheap grocery store bread). As I approached the drive through window, the young lady told me the total (nothing I couldn’t comfortably afford) and I asked if they had tap to pay. She said yes, but I would need to hand her my phone. I double-clicked the side button, authenticated with TouchID for my AMEX Platinum, and handed her my iPhone Duo. She reached out towards my car and cradled the phone in her hands like a newborn baby.

As she reproached the window, she smiled, and giddy with eyes bright she said “wow, I have NEVER seen a phone like that before.” I chuckled, smirked, and responded, “It’s the brand new iPhone Duo. 1 terabyte. White.” Her jaw nearly dropped to the floor. I rolled up the window to my Model Y performance and drove away.

My wife was unusually quiet for the remainder of the drive. I can only imagine what was going through her mind.

This is just one example of many encounters that I’ve had within the past 36 hours with the iPhone Duo. If you’re looking for a phone that’s a straight-up panty dropper (I’m not, I’m married), look no further.

The fact that I didn't just start a company when I started freelancing is killing me when I think about the amount of money I lose every month because of taxes. Better late than never, sure, but this has been going for a whole year now.

How do you not get burned out over retards mishandling AI?

>>110211211
just stop caring

AI makes the legwork easier but the human still has to do the things and make the decisions.

it's also kind of like manning some kind of big dangerous machinery. In the wrong hands it can destroy things. So there is still a barrier to midwits and low IQs using it.

>>110211283
Just let AI make the decisions, do the QA and conduct the cybersecurity audit. Its still better than street shitter jeets. Its also on par with interns or juniors from top colleges.

>>110211394

Yeah I would absolutely say it's better than juniors and jeets, especially if you have a good hard template for it to follow so it doesn't go off on the rabbit trail.

The thing that it does that I really love is debug much more quickly. I have error output or a log message, I feed it that and any other context I can gather, and it tends to be bang on with what the issue is. Debugging feels a lot more solved. All of the quirky in between things that used to take a day or 2 of independent research because there was no conventional solution.

>>110211423
I think what people are actually complaining about is that it is yet another tool to learn, another thing to add to the stack of skills to master. The old people complain because what used to be senior level shit gets pushed down to junior, which always invariably gives them more time to learn new concepts or if your a manager more content to train new hires.

Its kinda like the armored divisions you technically march less than ever in the military but what you do march with is more weight from the gear. Also what you do on your off time is more maintenance, education, general bullshit paperwork instead of shooting/marching/drills. They bitched back then about the same sorts of issues in the military.

Programming used to be an activity with a very high skill ceiling that for the most part could not be faked.

I have accepted a new position and my future employer was very understanding and accepted pushing my start date by 3 weeks due to long planned PTO and again 2 more weeks due to stock vesting on my current employment.

Currently my start date at the new company is one exact week after my stock vests at my current employer.

Although I have zero concerns that my manager would try to block me from receiving this stock I can’t stop to wonder if the company would.

Is giving only one-week notice a real bad thing? I keep debating with myself what to do. The right thing or the smart thing.
