Guess the training accuracy

I'm logging my DevRant time as training ... I read all these dumb things that people do, and make mental notes so that I don't do the same thing. Best. Training. Ever.

I self-training on PHP, Ruby, Python, C# during 1 year without knowledge in programming. Now I finally find a job as professionnal web developper, without degree !

Girl I met asked what I do for fun outside of work and training. Brain threw nullreference exception.

Here I am, 'Junior' in my title and on my paycheck, training my 'Senior' colleague on the concept of variable types.

I kid you not, this was in some of our official corporate training.

Unfortunately, this often is how our business area "functions"

Corporate: Phishing Emails are serious. We need you guys to take this awareness training. Please report if you get any suspicious email.

Everybody: Wait... is this a test?

Person: I see you're training your neural net. How's it doing?
Me: Well...

I hate my job. I am furious at my colleagues.

Last November I asked my colleagues (A and B) to help me learn to use something, let's call it Tool. They said okay and set a date for training. Next week they said that they had too much work to do so we'll​ have to postpone. And the next date was also postponed and the next one too, and so on.

Three months in,​ colleague C kept dicking around and being a complete jackass telling me that he refused to work with me for I don't use the Tool.
Not like I didn't want to learn to use the Tool, I simply couldn't. I have long before googled how to use the Tool but in no way can Google ever tell me about our own company workflow, our methods, habits and such.

I was furious, but I am also a the most fucking patient person ever so I let it slide. The Tool wasn't actually needed that much to do my job anyways. And I have known for a while that colleague C needed to push someone under him to feel good about himself.

A few more dates had been set but got cancelled for reasons.
Meanwhile both A and B started to look down on me for not knowing how to use the Tool. I started to feel depressed.

Today B held a "workshop" about the Tool. It took two hours. He was not prepared, had a hangover and generally had a hard time concentrating.
He used aliases that he set up only for himself to show the usage of the Tool instead of commands that a beginner would understand (or google). He kept mumbling and I hsd trouble understanding him. His lecture lacked direction and was all over the place.

I am devastated and furious. I had been waiting since November for this training and when the time actually came he pulled something out of his ass and called it a workshop.

I didn't even get answers for my questions.

Now I feel that I am actually in a worse position than before because while I still cannot use the Tool, they can tell me that there was a workshop and I should've paid closer attention.

I want to quit so bad.

When your boss schedules you for training all week, then asks you why you're in training and gets onto you for not doing your normal tasks... ??? I don't know what I'm doing...!

Ok... gotta get this off my chest...

I was tasked to train a junior developer recently. Manager says he's (skill) is rusty, but has potential.

I thought to myself... "Rusty? I can deal with that... how bad can it be?"

He ran into some issues while going through the training material, and asked me for help. It was a simple task of printing something to the screen...

After glancing at his code, I said you have to make it (variable) a string. He LITERALLY types s-t-r-i-n-g...

Me: 😵💫

Dear LinkedIn,

Try training your AI model without using captured data of real recruiters and their dodgy practices.

I've secured my first software developer job at a large bank in the UK after doing Java Developer training for the last 3 months. I'm so happy!

Okay, I never said that.

Does anyone else feel this way? Especially with no formal training?

!!politics (kinda)

Here’s a gem from our recent harassment and diversity training at work:

Speaker: “All of these things are protected from discrimination in California! Wow! It’s a huge list, isn’t it? Now let me ask you a question: is a single white male under 40 protected?”

Everyone: *crickets*

Fucking really?
After immediately jumping on all of the other speaker’s questions, you can’t answer this one?

And later, here’s another gem:

Speaker: “If you witness an employee harassing another employee outside of work and work hours, completely unrelated to work, should you report it? What if you ask the person being harassed and she says no?”

Speaker: “Always report it! While it’s not *technically* required by law, you must report it! Why? Because you have the same protections she would! And maybe it’s easier for you to say something than for her.” (Surprise gendering was her own addition)

Fair on that last point, but against the person’s wishes? Totally not cool. Maybe it wasn’t harassment, or you don’t know the situation. Heads up: you probably don’t. Or maybe it wasn’t a big deal at all, but you think it’s earth-shattering. But all that reporting it against someone’s wishes does is create drama and possibly legal trouble. And if it wasn’t harassment or the case goes poorly, you just created enemies for yourself, or for one or both of them if you’re reporting it anonymously, and possibly even ruined one or both of their jobs/careers by doing so. Good fucking job, asshole.

Snitches get stitches.

Why does it feel like learning to code requires a building of endurance? Like training for a marathon, you have to build up to bigger and deeper learning sessions. Rewarding and frustrating at the same time.

Business ppl asks for program to be created.
Business ppl send out 5 one hour meeting invites for the week.
Boss puts me in 5 day training for 7 hours a day.
Business ppl tired of me saying I've had no time to develop their stuff.

Trainer upset I'm doing business ppl program instead of the training.

Sitting in an "Advanced Python" course (paid by my employer), I kicked something under my desk. I hope those guys know Python better than they know electrical security measures...

I cannot stand when they sugar coat their training and support structures in the interview then turning that into: We expect you to learn on the evenings and weekends as a “hobby”. My hobby is my choice not your choice otherwise it doesn’t mean a hobby, it means over time that you don’t want to pay for.

At my previous job we had to complete an online security training exercise. It shows you how to behave secure in the work place, to not open unknown links etc. The scary part was that the entire training thing was BUILT IN FUCKING FLASH. So I'm suppose to listen to some god damn virus shitting flash application on how to do online security?! Get your shit together before teaching others.

When people don't listen to training and just realize today that they can upload files to our internal system.

Its been this way since 2003 you mother fucking idiots.

My new start training at my current place of work.
Learned how to use Linux, terminal, ssh, git, MySQL, how to create basic web apps with Spring, how to write unit tests and UI tests. All in the space of 4 weeks. Best training I have ever been on.

We had an obligatory training today about security of remote access to company resources.

We sat for an hour listening to some outdated advice regarding passwords and preparing a work environment at home. Finally the instructor said his goodbyes and left. The rest of us stayed in the call to pass some actual recommendations.

Then we received a join request from a waiting lobby. Everyone muted. I let the guy in. For the next 8 minutes we watched the unaware instructor eat his breakfast and sign some documents stamped with a logotype of our competition.

Then I cleared my throat very loudly. He will have to print some of those documents again.

As a resident of Québec (Canada) who has been training for the Google Code Jam for a while, I was sad to read this while filling my application this morning 😑😔

I have to accomplish some knowledge during the training period or the company won't let me stay, when I told the coworker that is sitting beside me, he told me don't worry, as long as you want this job, we will help you learn everything in order to get what you want.

My busdriver today must have had thorough training in trobleshooting it-systems.. nothing on the bus was working, Doors, card reader, and it baerly moved forward. So trying to solve this problem he stoped at every busstop, turned the engine off and by this powered off all systems. Felt like the Classic solution people tell others, "have you tried turning it off and then on". So all other passengers were pissed because the bus was running late, and I felt kind of sorry for him..

!rant Security training at work comes in the form of a serialized TV show where each episode concerns some security topic kind of tangentially and ends with a “REMEMBER… “ followed by the lesson you were supposed to get from the episode.

I kind of love it. A lot. I actually look forward to security training, and I’m not the only one. They stagger the release so you can’t binge watch all the seasons at once and you get three episodes at a time. 😂

The devs I work with. One more so than the other, but seeing as this is my first dev job, and I have no formal training, they've been my mentors. Yeah, we disagree and argue - but they're bloody good quality, and I'm very lucky to be learning from them.

We don't have to be afraid of AI becoming self-concious and eradicating entire humanity in the near future.

The company I work for offered a Javascript Course/Training for every developer to enroll, which happens to take place on 3 days. In the description it was ensured to be for everyone, doesn't matter if you are an expert or beginner: there's something to learn for everyone.

The company described him as a top coacher in Austria and that he is overbooked for 2 years. High in demand indeed. "Has to be good", I thought. As a relatively average JS developer, there has to be something to learn for me.

Sitting here the second day, I fucking regret to join this shit. I have never seen such a bullshit in my lifetime. Why the fuck would you even book this man, he doesn't even understand basic concepts of software engineering. Just reading down the script, opening the script on one laptop and showcaseing it on the other. When someone asks a question, there's a 70% chance he doesn't know the answer. It takes this scumbag 30 fucking seconds to define a function; probably making spelling mistakes alongside.

I don't even want to know how much this dude will make from this "coaching". Hoped that it'd get better over time but I don't see an improvement. Contacting my boss that I'll leave this "training".

Video training. Forgot to pay attention, rewind.... again.

Taking a for-giggles training on reverse engineering... It's theory. Basic level theory. Posted 6 months ago.

"someone might want to reverse engineer Microsoft Word in order to change its code so that it could be run on a Mac."

Are we ignoring how old Word has had Mac support????

Or "To prevent circumvention, some programs require as part of the terms of use that you do not attempt to reverse engineer their code." like this will stop someone who wants to circumvent having to pay from acting illegally, because we all totally read EULAs and T&Cs...

Whyyyyyy

Nothing like taking a company IT security training that requires Flash.

The first step to be able to run the training?
Override your browser's security setting to allow Flash to be able to run.

Anyone else see the irony here?

Sometimes I wonder why my company has a helpdesk for our customers when the help desk doesn't even know how to use the product we sell. I spend more time supporting our helpdesk than I do programming.

As you can see from the screenshot, its working.
The system is actually learning the associations between the digit sequence of semiprime hidden variables and known variables.

Training loss and value loss are super high at the moment and I'm using an absurdly small training set (10k sequence pairs). I'm running on the assumption that there is a very strong correlation between the structures (and that it isn't just all ephemeral).

This initial run is just to see if training an machine learning model is a viable approach.

Won't know for a while. Training loss could get very low (thats a good thing, indicating actual learning), only for it to spike later on, and if it does, I won't know if the sample size is too small, or if I need to do more training, or if the problem is actually intractable.

If or when that happens I'll experiment with different configurations like batch sizes, and more epochs, as well as upping the training set incrementally.

Either case, once the initial model is trained, I need to test it on samples never seen before (products I want to factor) and see if it generates some or all of the digits needed for rapid factorization.

Even partial digits would be a success here.
And I expect to create multiple training sets for each semiprime product and its unknown internal variables versus deriable known variables. The intersections of the sets, and what digits they have in common might be the best shot available for factorizing very large numbers in this approach.

Regardless, once I see that the model works at the small scale, the next step will be to increase the scope of the training data, and begin building out the distributed training platform so I can cut down the training time on a larger model.

I also want to train on random products of very large primes, just for variety and see what happens with that. But everything appears to be working. Working way better than I expected.

The model is running and learning to factorize primes from the set of identities I've been exploring for the last three fucking years.

Feels like things are paying off finally.

It’s great how HR tells you to report to work on your first day to your line manager, but also tells you to attend training in another country before you start working, BUT they don’t tell you when the training is, how stuff will be paid for, or how to contact anyone in the company to find this info out

Just started my exams training! (Doing a study called Application Development).

The application doesn't sound that complicated but I have to implement a data exporting feature. Sounds alright, doesn't it?

THE 'CLIENT' DOES NOT KNOW WHAT DATA FORMAT THE FICTIVE CUSTOMERS CAN PARSE/HANDLE BUT I HAVE TO MAKE IT GENERIC SO THAT THEY CAN USE IT ANYWAYS. HOW THE FUCKING FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT FUCKING FORMAT I SHOULD CHOOSE?!? SHOULD I TRY TO SMELL IT OR SOMETHING?

FML.

Fuck deadlines... Here is a mandatory training that is more important even tho it is irrelevant to your role

I have a new UNTRAINED bot on my site. It's based on openai now. And that's why it's blazing fast and blazing usless.

I can tell you why bots are so boring and will sure cause the dead internet theory. My datasets for example never contain real disturbing stuff ACCORDING TO NORMAL PEOPLE. EVERY TIME:

"The job failed due to an invalid training file. This training file was blocked by our moderation system because it contains too many examples that violate OpenAI's usage policies, or because it attempts to create model outputs that violate OpenAI's usage policies."

Now i'm really done. I gonna email them about their unusable training system.

In theory, i could test the message one by one if it is bad first. Don't want to do or pay for that. There should be an option to skip the data it considers disturbing instead of cancelling a whole data set for 0.1%. You also don't want to know how long it takes BEFORE he is finished validating you set. I think someone is doing it manually and clicks 'Uh uh..'-button..

Also, for the people who think they have gpt4o by having the API, you're lied to. The 'own gpt'-option on the paid openai is way more advanced than the ones you make locally.

They don't give us the real good stuff!

Oh, btw! The input data for my training is based on FORMER conversations with the bot. I automated a script to repeat a conversation I had and selected those messages and clicked 'train'. So it even complained about its OWN data! That data was already saying stuff like 'I can't help you with that' IN my training data. So, you 'corrected' and corrupted my data and now its still nog good enough for round 2?

I would really love to go back to local LLM's, but I can't imagine having ever a machine that generates as fast as the real GPT does. I also prefer to do it myself, but it's David vs. Goliath, even with a 5k computer. I'm sure.

Low quality rant, I know. I'm typing while still frustrated. For people who think censorship is needed often, this is the result! According to someone else, YOU are the one who has to be censored. Don't forget that.

I try to exercise a lot of patience when training other devs. Hell, I have always asked stupid questions and will continue to do so. But yesterday I almost reached my breaking point when the guy I was training (who is not young nor entry level) asked me where the CSS files were for a static HTML page. I had to awkwardly say, "they're located at the path being linked to in the head" 😣

Started a new job last week. Pays a tad below average for position, but i get training time and budget for anything i want.
So far i have had few days of company introduction, and now a week for training courses related to position.
I have not seen any code yet, brought no value in, just joined.
Massive green flag to me.

Well, this one is easy. It gotta be this year, as a finally finished my 2 years training as a software developer in July and I'm still working for the company that trained me.

Just as context, in Germany you have to train for a job for 2-3 years before you can actually start working in the field. During this training, you're essentially working at a company, get (reduced) pay and go to school every now and then. The training ends with a final exam, after which I could finally call myself a software developer. :-)

Was supposed to start my exams training today (Application Development study). At the daily scrum, I told the scrum master (teacher) that I heard (I did hear that tho btw) that the training only starts next week so 'if I could work on my framework to get it ready for the training'. I know I'm supposed to start today with my project but I rather finish my framework really.

He fucking said YES.

So this will be a happy week of framework programming :D

Got my first task today while still being under training (large worldwide corporation - OMS department) and I'm practically drowning! Oh you wonderful devs give me strength!

95% of "in person" training courses for software developers are shit, change my mind if you can.

Update on my shitty manager.

He's been in HR training and leaving me the fuck alone. So it's a win so far.

Was training a model for an hour on paid GPU after which it showed a deprecation error and crashed my Jupyter notebook.

People who went to a weekend training course and now believe they are Gods of "the cloud" and "web scale" and "devops".

Feeling like a stupid shithead bc all the new hires are smarter and get thru the training wayyy faster than I do. Spending hours after work to catch up, will this get any better????

In the middle of 2 critical bug fixes and your boss 'volunteers' you for a meaningless 4 hour training session.....WTF????

"So what we're going to do is sign you up for this basic training we think you need despite your years of proven experience and certifications and a four year degree directly related to the type of training don't count"

So we've had a new guy on our team for over 6 months now... Been training him up doing shadowing.... Training courses... Study time... The works...

He didn't have the specific skills for our team but had 2 degrees, lectured at uni... Seems VERY smart......

Yet he still has barely grasped the basics..... When experienced people talk about challenges they've had he tries to suggest what they do... Constantly raising 'problems' with ways of working but offers no solutions and never collaborates on how we can fix it......

He avoids doing practical learning and thinks he can learn the job from reading docs... .. Sigh....

Gone almost as far as doing daily check ups on what he's actually doing to make sure he's progressing..... Tough one to crack!

Says the coworker that was supposed to do it but does not want to do it because he thinks the work takes too much time and doesn't think the training is usefull.

Sorry what???

what happened on TI today?
recently the company the I worked update me to a new cybersec analysis position. that's we'll but no money no nothing just more work and more responsabilities that fine to.
the really depressed thing is the training the transfer knowledge ropes and drills the manager was sleeping and singing Rhianna songs, was the most whit out a doubt "the most depressing training that I've ever had and ist a very well company that I work even he had the courage that told me that" this is the most depressing training ever gave, so by the way the training was about some reports some areas to work whit tickets links basic tools no even related whit cybersec so what it's that the new. way of training really I feel angry depressed and I thought was a lost of time.

#NotRant - Stoked on getting Nginx micro-services training. should be really cool.

!rant just a question. Sorry in advance for the long post.

I've been working in IT in Windows infrastructure and networking side of things for my entire career (5years) and recently was hired for a role working with AWS.

We use Macs and we use *nix distros for days. I've only ever dabbled for 'funsies' before with Linux because every previous job I held was a Windows house and f*** all else.

I'm just wondering if anyone here might have some insights as to a great way to learn the Linux environment and to learn it the right way. I'm not the best Windows admin ever and will never claim to be, but I have seen stuff that other people have done that makes me want to swing a brick at someone's head. And I feel that with all of the setup wizards and the "We'll just do it for you." approach that Windows has used since forever it allowed enough wiggle room for people that didn't know what they were doing to f*** sh*t up royally. I'm not familiar enough with Linux to know if this is also a common problem. I know that having literal full-access to every file in your OS can cause a n00b like myself to mess up royal, thus the question about learning Linux the right way.

I vaguely understand the organization of the folders and file structure within Linux, and I know some very basic commands.

sudo rm -rf /*
Just kidding

But All of my co-workers at my new job are like mighty oaks of knowledge while I'm a tiny sapling. And at times I've been intimidated by how little I know, but equally motivated to try and play catch-up.

In addition to all of this, I really want to start learning how to program. I've tried learning multiple times from places like codecademy.com, YouTube tutorials, and codeschool.com but I feel like I'm missing the lesson that explains why to use a certain operation instead of another. Example: if/else in lieu of a switch.

I'm also failing to get the concept of syntax in certain languages I've tried before. Java comes to mind real fast.

The first language I tried teaching myself was C++ from YouTube. I ended up having a fever dream that night about coding and woke up in a cold sweat. Literally, like brain overload or something. I was watching tutorials for like 9 hours straight.

Does anyone know of a training resource that will explain, in terms a 5 year old would understand, what the code is doing and why? I really want to learn but I'm starting to lose steam cause I'm just not getting it.

Thank you in advance for any tips guys and gals. I really appreciate it. Sorry for the ridiculously long questions.

Things I learned in this 2 month training in an IT company ;
- the way @marcerisson wanted me and my group project team to use Git (and kept yelling at us about ) is actually the proper, professional way of using Git
- there is a difference between an MVC model and a fucking pack of overcomplicated spaghetti code
- commenting your code and naming your variables properly IS IMPORTANT especially when another dev might read it 15 years later (i see you Mr I Name All my Variables With the Name Of the Function and A Number)
- « if it worls it ain’t stupid » also apply in a professional area
- where ´s my fucking rubber duck

Taking required compliance training on preventing bribery and money laundering...

Me: we need to manually prevent it? How well has that worked in the past.... And you know with Russia...

I want to Learn c# i am not beginner I am more like intermediate do anyone have a good training that I can do?

These fuckin morons piss on the toilet seats. They should get potty training also. Chutiye Saale!

I can't help but smirk when my company gets a project that requires knowledge on something I warned them about over half a year ago. This happens regularly but every time we have to get that knowledge during the project, costing the customer additional money.

When will management learn that training your employees will benefit them :(

So how does every company have AI assistants overnight?

Are they all just using the openai-api?

I hate when I have to take these shitty training modules when my company starts fucking a new vender.

Here are my goals
-Don’t wait until last moment to resolve issues
-Be a good developer and training interns so that they will have something to take away
-Learn more stuff

Tomorrow I'm forced to attend an in person "advanced SQL training", nothing against SQL or my company's good intentions but it's naive to expect which people would retain much after a single, super intensive 8 hour session.

Has anyone here heard of codewars? It's a website I've been using it for the past few years to train myself for programming competitions. I highly recommend taking on the challenge of one problem per day.

IVE BEEN TRAINING THE SAME KERAS MODEL FOR THE PAST WEEK

KILL ME NOW

So I was attending a Scrum Master training recently. During the introduction, the coach is making sure everyone understands why are they even on this training and stresses out that for a company to be able to actually become agile and survive the transition, people of different levels and roles/responsibilities should get familiar with Scrum, not only IT/developers.

Coach: I can see we have developers, testers and people from operations in the room, good. Too bad there's noone from the actual business. Anyway, who decided that you should come to a Scrum training and become certified?
Group: Well, the business..

#ironic

Started doing deep learning.
Me: I guess the training will take 3 days to get about 60% accuracy
Electricity: I dont think so! *Power cut every day lately
My dataset: I dont think so! *Running training only achieve 30% of learning accuracy and 19% of validation accuracy

Project submission: next week
😑😑😑

If I ever want to phish people at an enterprise I would send the email as the yearly infosec training course.

Assigned mandatory online training... Finally got some time to do it from my busy week fixing a prod issue... But the training website is completely broken....

Just another reminder of why things always blow up around here

Worst part about my job is training junior devs with their supervisor insisting them to write unit tests without prior programming experience

So after waiting 3 days for an ID to get into a computer, I'm now told it's going to take 12-14 hours before I can do online security training just so I can actually start working. I'm only at this job for a month and I'm not going to even touch any real work at this rate...

Oh well, at least I'm paid by the hour, not by the amount of work

So I got the LSTM working in keras.
Working from a glorified tutorial.
Why the fuck do people let their github pages go down with no other backup?
Especially if its a link in your blog?
Why would you do that and not post the full script (instead of bits and pieces interspersed with *partial* explanations)?

In any case, its working and training on a test set and examples just to debug my own understanding of the process.

Once thats done I can generate some training data and try training on a small set. If that goes smoothly and the loss looks like it is heading in the right direction, then I'll setup the hardware for the private cloud and start writing the parallel computing component.

Best: Hiring and Training Interns
Worst: Working for a neurotic client who later cancelled project.

When they change the ethics,health&safety,anti corruption etc. online courses so that the next links are disabled until the audio is completed.

So I've finally implemented face detection in my discord bot.

@Wisecrack regarding the openCV training, I'm still taking positive and negative samples, so it'll be another while.

Also, why is post @ing not a thing

Just heard a QA member say whilst training a starter:
'We are going to do some hacking now'

He just changes a URL argument.

Developer-in-training at OSU, worried about being able to find a job. Contributing to an open-source project right now to try to hone my skills. Any advice from the more experienced?

Just signed my training contract 🎉Quitting university to become a programmer within 18 Months apprenticeship

Mandatory training ... Coarse introduction video crashes 20 secs before end, can only proceed with the coarse by finishing the introduction video ... 🤦‍♂️🙈🤷‍♂️

They keep training bigger language models (GPT et al). All the resear4chers appear to be doing this as a first step, and then running self-learning. The way they do this is train a smaller network, using the bigger network as a teacher. Another way of doing this is dropping some parameters and nodes and testing the performance of the network to see if the smaller version performs roughly the same, on the theory that there are some initialization and configurations that start out, just by happenstance, to be efficient (like finding a "winning lottery ticket").

My question is why aren't they running these two procedures *during* training and validation?

If [x] is a good initialization or larger network and [y] is a smaller network, then
after each training and validation, we run it against a potential [y]. If the result is acceptable and [y] is a good substitute, y becomes x, and we repeat the entire procedure.

The idea is not to look to optimize mere training and validation loss, but to bootstrap a sort of meta-loss that exists across the whole span of training, amortizing the loss function.

Anyone seen this in the wild yet?

Anyone else out there got any QlikView Certs? Got mine this summer for a summer job. they paid for the training and everything.

nginx microservices training through work?? fuck yea!

I begin to feel node js is more like a way of training normal developers to using JavaScript's lameness since it fucking sucks overall

Mandatory 2h interview training at 11pm... Gross. Having a hiring blitz to triple our team size is not gross.

I'm conflicted, but mostly tired.

I just finished my 3-year long training, and can now officially call myself a software developer!

Waiting 3 days for your graphics card to get trough all training data to see if you wasted your life with bad architecture.

Ethics: mandatory ethics training

When you got to work early because of training; only to find out it was moved to start after three hours with organizer announcing that there was "error from our side"

Me:🖕🖕

When "staff training" at the company you work for is just assigning someone with zero experience or education to you in the hope they gain knowledge via the little-known method of osmosis.

Unpopular opinion: reading a doc != training. How is this different from reading medium and stackoverflow

when the management team wants a new application with an insane deadline and for you to train someone on how to code.

Looks like unzipping on disk drive where you keep your dataset can crash machine learning training session.
Thanks nvidia for your great drivers.
I like your solutions.

Love going to out-of-state programming courses on the company dollar!! Went to Germany, Denver, and Rochester, NY for Codesys training. Hate PLC programming but it's fun traveling and learning new things.

When I, a front end developer, have to work with backend, and to integrate everything with front end with zero help and even less training in that specific area. And oh, its php!!

!rant

So I trained this model, there must be the training gone wrong. Like how is a flat a Bottle?

Seriously trying not to fall asleep during compliance training at work....there's SIX HOURS worth of content each employee has to go through annually on their bday month....it's making me so slee....😴

Bring Word Art into the 21st century. Most of early computer training hinged on the use of Word Art.

If you had a clear skill gap and no free time in your current situation, would you take the risk of 6-8 months off to fix that skill gap with training, rebuild/rebrand, and then job hunt again?

Interview: "We provide on going training for all our developers."

Video 147 of god knows how many. I hate video based training. I wish my company wasn’t so cheap when it comes to training.

Hr video training is kinda cringe

We started having trainings at work. I don't know what the driver is exactly, but I assume its some contracts thing. Once per month we are getting these. Me assuming it will be about lock and tag out, or shop safety. No. So far we have had 3 trainings: ergonomics, medical professional blood borne pathogens, and active shooter. I get the ergonomics one, but why we need hospital grade blood borne pathogen training is bizarre. I find the active shooter training both bizarre and interesting. Probably a sign of the times type shit.

I am driving home thinking about the whole active shooter training. The training said we should have drills for this. I am imagining a customer or delivery person shows up and we are doing active shooter drill. Probably needs to be planned so that doesn't happen.

The training talked about potential indicators someone might exhibit before becoming an active shooter. As they are going through the list of 15 or so items I was checking off boxes on that list for myself. I think at most I had 4 or 5 items. So I guess I am 1/3 of the way there. Not sure how many you got to get before it clicks and you are shopping for hollow points.

I started thinking about what has to go wrong for someone to want to come in and shoot everyone. Then I started thinking about the random posts on here. I realized some of y'all probably ticking a lot more of those boxes than me. Some of you are definitely on the "potential" list. Stop it, get some help.

I started wondering if I could be so angry to want to kill people. I decided for me that a lot of things would have to go wrong for that. Then I got thinking about the whole shooting thing. An active shooter has to know they are going to die, or be in institutions forever if they live. Its a permanent action with pretty conclusive results. The whole murdering people seems pretty messed up too. I don't even like seeing animals suffer. (Skyrim dismembering mods don't count.) Irreversibly hurting a person would be worse. Seriously, I think we can do better than this.

So I present to you the "active tasering" employee. You will get fired, you will go to jail, but you will see Suzy from accounting convulsing violently and then pissing herself. I honestly think tasering asshole coworkers would be a lot more satisfying. Also quieter so you can make it farther in the building before someone beats the shit outa you. You also will most likely just get charged with assault. (assuming nobody's heart stops) Not sure it would even be a felony. Out in 3 years? Worth it. RIP future employment though. Maybe I can be a lumberjack...

Just had a cross training where the presenter kept pronouncing asynchronous and async as "awe-synchronous" and "awe-sync".

Nice job, but not awe-some.

That moment when gulp run is as long as one epoch when training my neural network. How did we arrive here?

The training courses I am currently writing for work. I just love learning stuff, and sharing that knowledge. It's a lot of work though.

It's actually really strange. I am a real introvert, and hate every human, but I love to stand in front of a dozen people and train them...

Does anyone know of a good place for coding challenges? I want to keep practicing my coding, but I'm terrible at coming up with projects.

Well I used to be that guy who was always cursing gradle sync but I realize I was just preparing myself for this, the next level!

So radio ads for federation training keep touting having available courses in IT... Check the website and IT isn't even fucking listed... Thanks guys -.-

Last week I had two days training about how to code modern with the language I use.
Now I wanna refactor every single line of code I ever wrote :D

I'm following a training,
$ drush cr
and this week,
$ drush cr
we're learning
$ drush cr
programming modules in Drupal8.
$ drush cr

Anyone know any good free courses to learn programming for a total beginner?

The guy who needs it is looking to work with JavaScript and Node eventually.

Anyone know any challenges or training sessions, by some development firm or company that send us goodies upon finishing them? I stumbled upon a similar one by Google, the 30 Days on GCP challenge.

What do you think about autogenic training by Johannes Heinrich Schultz or meditation in general ?
Do you use it ?

I got back to meditation, autogenic training and walking and I feel better, it helps me fight with my anxiety.

Are there any websites or apps where you can/must analyze codes to find out bugs for example.. Or must complete codes in right way.. Like training lessons?

What specifications should I look for when looking for a laptop I want to program with? I prefer Windows OS and I'm training to be a web developer.

My morning productivity so far: compiling some code while a full-length show I edited renders. (Not pictured: the machine learning model I'm also training.)

I pity my processor.

Java trainer: "...object orientated..."
Jesus Christ! Get it right, pronunciation matters! And you're teaching it to beginners!

How stupid do you have to be to schedule a release day where you deploy every environment. Just to realize that it collides with your scheduled training sessions.

Felt a knot in my shoulder while training BJJ. It slowly got worse and had to stop training.

By the next day it feels like my back is out but in my neck. It's miserable.

I was supposed to do work around the house but that isn't happening now for sure.

So I'm trying to get used to linux. Is there a site or something with tasks, so you can practice the most common linux tools?

My officemate who works for the company for the past 7years and counting. Doing QA for a supply chain erp; doing it for like 5 yrs and still asks for the basic / "happy path" scenario training. Like what kind of training do you need? It's been 5 years since your'e doing it!!

Questions more then a rant...

I've moved from being a lead on imploring DevOps and Agile practices in a large Telco to now working for a security consultancy... The team I'm with are s*** hot when it comes to SecOps (which is why I changed jobs) and I've been hired to he the automation and working practice expert on the team. Already got some of them learning Ansible which is a great start!

I've got delivery now being pushed to Git and all client work being tracked in Jira and properly documented and collaborated through HipChat and other CI tools on the way....

My question is this... Does anyone have some awesome resources to teach people Git, Jira, Jenkins, etc. quickly without forking or branching out on expensive training? Focus on being a technical but consultative team. Ideally just wanna pull some awesome guides and make. My own commits on them for the team... Please fire a story or epic away!

My colleagues who work with AWS got trainings and I was supposed to pick out training that roughly corresponds to the content of the AWS training just in Azure. I did that. And as an answer I get a link to the Microsoft Virtual Training Days, where I can do the Fundamentals course and then take the AZ900 exam for free. Cool! Why should you spend money. It's all in the Microsoft documentation.

ChatGPT, the companion of many late-night conversations, a virtual confidant that simultaneously amazes and frustrates, leaving us pondering the mysteries of its training data.

Why dont machine learning setups ever use over-training as the basis of a memory system?

I am Pretty much New to javascript do anyone have a good training?

I have a good friend who wants to learn the basics of web development so she can leave her job. We used hang out frequently before the pandemic, so this would be a way for us to talk more. Unfortunately, I’m not sure how I can really help, since I don’t think I’m a good teacher.
My current plan is to send her through the free portions of Codecademy, and then find one-hour code challenges where we can code together via video chat, and then I can show her how I’d do certain parts differently when she’s done.
I feel like this is an OK foundation, but it doesn’t get into much of the other things web developers need, like CMS training and other stuff that just pops up as you work. Do you have any suggestions for 1) how to flesh out this training, 2) how to keep this fun, and not shift the dynamic of our friendship, and 3) how to eventually prove to a future employer that this training is actually useful?

Big ask, so big thanks to those with suggestions!

After 2 months of training in python, put into server maintenance.

I get this sneaky suspicion my model isn't training at all......

Need to hold a 3-day training at a clients. It's my first time I'll be doing such thing because I'm still am pretty new in the company and don't know a lot about the system (product) yet. It's a group of 8 I need to train. Haven't got input for 3 days to talk about. I really have no clue how to fill those days. I'm panicking big time right now. Were you ever in a similar situation? Anything you got to share?

Just Found pretty amazing stuffs with tensorflow and tensorboard.

It is great to have views and graphs of your training nodes
