My job did a 'lunch concert'. A violinist and pianist were invited to play during our lunch hour. Great initiative. And then they notified us by means of an ai-generated poster involving a photorealistic image of a…
And everyone knows how well-received clippy was :D
Hiya, I'm 39 and divorced 3 years ago. For me, my saviour was my 'third place'. I have frequented a spot since I was 18 where I can basically go any evening and there will be friends I know that I can chat with any time…
It's way easier to make a good programmer out of a researcher than a researcher out of a programmer. I have always had programming jobs (job title: software engineer) that required the 'researcher' mindset. We didn't…
Can you name me 3 tech companies in the Randstad that aren't consultancy that pay more than that? I don't think these numbers are exceptionally high but they're not low either. Source: Former SWE, current PM in the…
ASML is well known for it's exceptionally high pay compared to other Dutch tech companies.
The point is that the labor is moved to the customer (and is now unpaid labor). So it's not 'less labor' but it is definitely 'less labor costs'. Think 'serverless' technology - there is still a server, it's just no…

Hackernews: Working remotely is so much better! Why would they ever want us to work from to office! Also Hackernews: Ever since Corona started, I hate my job. I wonder what changed?
If I find that kind of shit in my free library, it immediately goes to the (properly recycled) trash. Nobody will take it, it's just taking up space and bringing down the attractiveness of my library.

Yes, that is probably true indeed. That's why there are so many bullshit jobs. I could never work in a zero-sum environment.
> More like “extremely tedious and mind numbing” To me it seems clear that that is not what this book is about. It's about the purpose, not the contents.
Awww, unfortunately nothing in my country! I love going to weirdo museums. My favorites so far are the sardine can and the dredging museums.
I think you're looking for 'major'.
Same. In our team of 10 there was one guy that did about half the work. Making him literally the 10x (okay, 9x) programmer.
My master thesis, which is supposed to take 8 months, took me 2 years and 4 months. Every morning I would wake up and think 'today is the day I will do good work!'. And every night I would go to bed and feel terrible…
Shit, I'm binging it right at the moment. I guess I'll mentally prepare for a horrible ending!
Oh my god the hair tugging. I fucking hate her braid. (I never could finish the series).
No one is debating that. The question is what do you do with them after the wrong has been done. Which is exactly why the marbles were referred to in this article.
Completely agree. A managers task isn't so much to make sure 'more work gets done'. They are there to make sure 'the right work gets done'. And that the right people are there (and stay there), that the right tools are…
I think that's a little one sided. My job is project management. I hate remote working. And that's because by the time something is big enough that someone feels like they need to notify me, my first options of…
I am an adventurous eating and love trying new foods. Natto made me retch when I tried it. And it made me retch again when I unknowingly ate it a week later hidden in some rice. This is not gonna be a staple in the…
I did Montessori from age 4-8 and then transitioned because of a move. Montessori worked really well for me. I have always been 'ahead' and I could explore my own interests. I was never bored in school which is…
I work at a large 'mechatronics' company, where software is just one discipline - we basically have engineers from any discipline you can think of, but mechanical engineers are our bread and butter. Systems engineering…
