  • Ten years and counting here, fuck if anyone knows at this point. My personal (maybe a bit cynical) take is that it really doesn’t matter as the amount of coding skill you use maxes out in the first few years of your career (for 90% of us anyhow), after that cat herding skills and pragmatic system architecture is what’s important. It becomes more important to know what not to do rather than the opposite.

    So it doesn’t really matter how fast you are at leetcode if you can navigate the particular brand of spaghetti your workplace is cooking, plus points if you are able and willing to grok new kinds so you can hop jobs because raises are so last century.









  • It’s so cute that US idiots are having “baby’s first fascist takeover”. Here is how it usually goes.

    • Roving far-right militias attack people on the streets and kill anyone politically active left of Hitler
    • People get fed up with shit
    • Roving far-left militias attack people on the streets and kill anyone politically active right of Stalin
    • People get fed up with shit
    • Roving far-right…
    • Hyperinflation and the destruction of the economy
    • Wealth stops having a meaning, political power just means you have a target on your back, 12 presidents dead in 10 years

    You’re destroying your country you geniuses. Your money is losing its value, your country is losing its credibility even with its own institutions, random small foreign countries are cucking your foreign policy. You’ve already lost like 30 years of power built, and every month you lose another year.

    Nah, big finance has super overinflated titles since the 08 crisis. Regulators wanted a higher up to aign off on certain stuff so they made everyone a higher up.

    I was in IT at Morgan Stanley and MSCI, and it’s basically junior to mid level dev is Associate, senior dev to team lead is VP, senior team leads are executive directors, the 5 remaining layers up are all managing directors.

    You can be a VP at Morgan Stanley, pull an 80k salary and have no reports.



  • I remember having a throat thing and a bit of fever when I was 15, I’ve gotten better after taking some paracetamol, but my mom said I should just go to the doctor just in case.

    The doctor gave me a sick paper for like 3 hours as he thought I was faking it, so literally just the doctor’s visit, and told me “I can still make third period if I hurry”. I was mostly okay for that Friday, but it got worse after I got home and I spent the weekend in bed.

    Next week was quite light since the classroom was pretty much empty save for the people who were sat furthest away from me on Friday. Wonder why.
