yeah it’s complete buyin from senior execs to business leaders, to business side employees who are tasked with being product owner. no such thing as a tech lead, organization got flattened out etc.
my gigantic org is transforming to agile pretty well to be honest. wish there was some positivity in here. biggest problem is lack of technical excellence but people understand the point of agile pretty well and we are…
no, the issue is that part of the team ends up in one conference room with 1 shitty conference phone. people don't speak up loud enough, don't speak into the mic, etc.. look up cisco ix5000 which is what I'm talking…
yeah it's still going to be a problem. fortunately I don't care all that much. my HR manager is here locally and there are other teams working on same project around me so I have a spot to jump to eventually. This team…
we do that on many days, but the audio quality is so much better on the "mainframe" cisco setup.
Yeah the conference rooms sound terrible from an audio stand point but we have these rooms with these huge cisco telepresence things. the audio is incredible. the video is good and helps because I can see body language.
I'm in that situation now. Well kind of. I am in the only team member not colocated with the rest of the team. At the start it was really hard. They would all be in a room together and I could barely even hear them over…
yes they do. in Dallas i’m next to a 900 home development. many of the homes are 1 story with a yard only big enough for maybe keeping a dog
my company is big enough they self insure. aetna, etc exists to administrate the program
yup just got the email earlier today too
likely done on disc wheels so no spokes
it’s not in waze beta yet either though
rohloff has a 14 speed hub
I went to the junkyard got a manual and pedal and put it in my car.
some of the spending just saw on my trip was mind blowing. Acres of granite pavers and timber decking in new parks. Huge new city walls in place of ancient ones. (protecting them they call it)
better way of saying it is that they make at least minimum wage or tips plus small amount
Thanks we went to Fu unji and it was great too. My wife got the dipping noodles and I got the regular. I did like the pork at menya musashi a lot and the overall flavor of Ichiran the most though. Can’t believe I got…
we went to menya musashi tonight
like that’s a good experience
vp is nothing at a bank but i guess it looks good on a resume lol
i went by it in 01 on a boat. there was. an incognito security guard on a wind surf rig out front. he was just sitting on the board with the sail in the water. amusing.
Yeah there’s a thousand vice presidents at my location that make 160k which in TX is a high wage. they don’t have high productivity compared to a real tech company. it’s all manual bureaucratic work.
they haven’t adopted silicon valley style hiring practices so a good resume is all that matters. interviews are a 10m HR screen and a 45 minutes interview by a hiring manager that hasn’t been in the ditches in 10 years.…
well my team builds the software to please regulators so all the original specs were signed off by legal and regulators. the next generation of each project simply fork lifts that data and massages the logic until it…
i work for a bank. my coworkers are mostly not very competent. also sometimes when we move to a new system we don’t get the actual business logic. we just reverse engineer it from the data. the people who knew how it…
