New Ukrainian Military Chief is Russian tWlU22 @ Meta Zelensky just replaced his military chief Zaluzhniy with Syrski. Syrski is ethnic Russian, was born in Russia, started his military career in 1986 in the Soviet army, comes from a family with a long military history in the Soviet Union and Russian empire, and his parents and siblings still live in Russia now! Some of his own relatives currently serve in the Russian army. This epitomizes how the Russia-Ukraine War is not really a war of Russian aggression but rather a civil war between brothers. @blind_feed

Do you think Taylor Swift is overhyped ? vwp3/ @ Google Her music is okay but I don’t understand what’s so extra special about her that other comparable artists do not have. @blind_feed

2M at 37 gdydg @ Hit 2M net worth yesterday and have been living in a HCOL. We are DINKs with both of us in tech. Think this is good enough to take a break from the usual grind for 6 months, may be start something new of our own? EDIT: this is a joint net worth, no plans to have kids, this screenshot is from mint (going to work until end of March), this is not about retiring, but taking a break for 6 months and start something new of our own. @blind_feed

What do Meta engineers do? menndnfnfn @ Citadel I work at a HFT (not Cit) and have interviewed a bunch of Meta employees. They have impressive claims on their resume (boosted engagement by X%, saved Y% in capacity, removed Z% of bad content, etc). However, when you actually ask them questions about their work they know nothing. I had one interviewee tell me they made a new recommendation model but couldn’t tell me what type of model it was other than “some ML model”, or how they chose their features, or how they got their training data. Some would explain how their systems work using Facebook tooling terminology and couldn’t even explain to me what these tools actually do. Others wouldn’t even know the traffic or storage volume they deal with on a daily basis. @blind_feed

Not using uber anymore kstraa @ Microsoft I took ride to airport with uber driver and she told me for a drive that I was paying 75$ she was getting 23$. And she showed me when the ride completed. On the way back home I took lyft and asked the driver the same question. Lyft offered 40$ for 64$ ride which is reasonable. Uber is just exploiting drivers IMHO. I am only taking Lyft from now on Edit: The uber driver was all 5 stars. The lyft driver also said, he does not do uber because they pay way low. So every one here thinking it was that specific uber driver being paid low, that is not the case. Next time you ride an uber ask the driver, you will feel tempted to tip them better @blind_feed

Ok. Can We Tech Workers Unionize Already?!? FHAs14 @ Deloitte So—now that WE tech workers (of all levels, manager, IC, FAANG, non-FAANG, Mag7, etc.) know for a fact that we are NO different than other workers—can we unionize already? Like, what more proof do our “dumb asses” need that we NEED to unionize the tech industry? We. Need. To. Unionize. The. Tech. Industry. Yesterday. Anyone making more than 200K doesn’t need to vote or comments. If you make that kind of money, you don’t need a union. This is only for the “salt-of-the-Earth” people who actually do the work that matters. <a href="https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/39500696/dartmouth-players-say-athletes-backing-their-push-unionize" target="_blank" onclick="ga('send', 'event', 'Link', 'Article', 'https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/39500696/dartmouth-players-say-athletes-backing-their-push-unionize');gtag('event', 'Link', { event_category: 'Link', event_action: 'Article', event_label: 'https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/39500696/dartmouth-players-say-athletes-backing-their-push-unionize' })" rel="ugc">https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/39500696/dartmouth-players-say-athletes-backing-their-push-unionize</a> #tech #techcareer #layoffs #compensation #tech @blind_feed

Depressed- help freesoul24 @ Amazon Clueless Numb Don’t want to go home Don’t want to do anything What to do ? Had a huge fight with partner few days ago. It was on a small issue which lead to many issues. Partner is not talking to me. Partner feels They are growing in life, more successful, fit, active, knowledgeable. They feel I am complacent. I do bare minimum responsibilities. My bmi is 25. Not able to lose weight, trying hard from months, so they feel i lack motivation. I am not active enough. I don’t work on my hobbies. I earn half of what they earn. I am not very productive. I agree with them. I don’t see any reason for them to be with me. I am very depressed from few days, constantly crying. We both agree i love them more and put them as priority. They dont feel attracted to me anymore. Honestly I am tired. Tired of being apologetic too. I took a sick day today, extremely exhausted, even more lazy. Sitting in a coffee shop since morning feeling clueless but better . Don’t want to go home. Don’t want to share with any friends or family. Having constant nightmares and phobias. Extremely tired without doing anything. Had to put a lot of strength to even post this. Please help. @blind_feed

Do men in tech not get why women don't want kids? mainrole @ New Why would she give up her career and financial independence to do the harder job of serving you, doing all the housework and raising 1-2 kids? You think you deserve all this just for paying the bills... And now you even want a prenup for your housewife? What a deal. It's a terrible trade for anyone with common sense to take. No one is incentivized to give that much for so little gain. Economic common sense. No one wants to give up their career for YOU to pass on your legacy. Even if she becomes a cat lady, like so many of you think is an insult, she still can get laid any time (maybe that's why you're mad). Hence why you're single. Natural selection at its finest, no man "deserves a woman" buddy. Good luck out there being a cheap, stingy, misogynist SWE. Thankfully those genes won't pass on. TC: 265k @blind_feed

Made a few mistakes and I take responsibility buttcoiner @ ex-Amazon I’m sorry I made a few mistakes over the last couple of years. I was under tremendous pressure and I fked up key architectural decisions for short term gains. I know I could’ve done better and taken a longer term perspective, but I didn’t. Hence I’ve taken the difficult decision to walk out my manager, skip and our director today to repent for my mistakes. I can’t thank them enough for all they’ve done to support me throughout this difficult phase. I wish them the very best of luck and I’ll recommend them to everyone in my network. @blind_feed

Tucker Carlson and Putin interview 🥜 TC&bold @ Micron How did you feel the interview went? Imo, Tucker did well except for a few simplistic questions like being aChristian and involving in war, AI taking over us, nuclear war, nuclear war!!, China the boogeymaaaan etc. He tried to throw Kamala Harris under bus and it felt petty. When interviewing a president from an another country he should elevate himself from petty domestic political fights. Anyways, that being said, Putin came across as highly intelligent man with an encyclopedic knowledge of history. He recognizes the slowly changing world order that’s why he is unafraid. He recognizes the American weakness of pressuring, bombing and bullying their way out of intricate situations and how immature and unsustainable that is for the long run. How the country is so debt laden but average elector does not have much say in that, etc. Average Americans who seek truth should watch this interview. If you have not watched don’t bother to make comments. Don’t be closed minded. Nothing is black and white. There is no God and Satan (lol). @blind_feed

Low performer on the team UFVn20 @ Adobe My new hire of 7 months is a low performer (examples below). I can’t PIP them because I don’t know if I will get backfill. Also because their work does help me free up my bandwidth somewhat. What would you do? This is a non tech role. - Does well with straightforward projects - Does not do well with complex projects. Proposal has so many typos, logic gaps, lacks data and polish (I have to spend a lot of time giving feedback) - often doesn’t provide clear status of things or it takes a while to finish something - enjoys doing simple logistical projects - repeatedly misses what I said. Then they say I didn’t provide enough visibility - they are generally a nice person and open for feedback. Mixed improvements after my feedback however @blind_feed
