I used to think 30 open PRs on the work repo was a lot of open PRs. Then I got this job and there's around 200 open PRs.

I mean the engineering team is 4x the size of other teams I've been on, so there's that, probably has something to do with it.

i think she *is* proud of her choice but screams she’s being discriminated against about it.

which like that’s quite amusing in many ways.

in the first post, this person went to ireland and was β€œtrying to escape from all the craziness at home for a bit”, and at a pub they asked if she was american and who she voted for. which of course she didn’t want to tell on herself.

girl, who helped cause all that craziness at home? you did.

i did not vote for this illegal war, i did not vote for this president, i do not like green eggs and ham.

every republican president in my lifetime has gotten us into a war and/or recession.

if americans as a whole didn’t have such a goldfish memory we could’ve had flying cars by now.

nothing warms my insides as much as seeing crying maga people on tiktok complaining that other countries aren’t being nice to them when they won’t tell who they voted for when out of the US.

i have never once been uncomfortable telling someone who I voted for. funny how that works.

Onboarding at a new role is like sipping from a firehose. You want more and more, but damn if you get too eager you get blasted in the face.

Three weeks ago:
> After reviewing your application, we've decided to pursue other candidates for this role. All the best.

Three weeks later:
*company posts the same job posting two more times*

Good luck with that one folks.

sometimes when i fly United they’re on the ball, and other times they drop it, kick it and have to find it under the couch.

today they’ve been on the ball though. that’s nice!

pretty neat! walks the code to generate code chunks with syntax trees, then uses that + vectors / embeddings to surface info to the LLM model for summarization.
