Summary of My Experience With Recruiters

1. They do everything until they get a phone talk. They also go cold turkey if they don’t have what you want, no politeness if you are not useful to them.

2. They are OK with your highball salary range at first
3. Once they got that you are hireable, they show their true nature

3a. Trying to lower my forever salary expectation to guarantee an offer and their one time bonus

3b. They scare you implying I would be fired from job anyways, if I don’t like some aspects of the current job

3c. They call you multiple times a week with no scheduling beforehand

3d. They lecture me on why salary shouldn’t be a big reason for job change(bitch don’t even…)

3e. They say shit like I want you to get this job(dude, you say that to every job seeker)

I will add more if I remember. What are your other bad experiences

Change, what a scary thing for me. I wish my familiar misery to go on, instead of a chance of happiness via an unfamiliar route.

I need to decide about my new job:
+ 20% more salary
+ better job/role
+ 1 or 2 days in the office by average per week
- no more 100% remote

Accept or no? I have been working from home for 3 years

I have been using 10 sick days since I had sth… I can use 5 more days legitimately and even 10 more dishonestly. What to do?

Work even less, get more money!

Ugly(beautiful for me) fact of remote working: I asked for a highly deserved raise. Manager said I should be concerned for my job safety rather than raise. I couldn't get the raise but I increased my hourly rate in another way.

My salary didn't get a raise but my mood had.

@dfox time to call police on this guy.

Obvious wisdom from me;
1. HR is not your friend. HR is created to protect companies from employees, not to protect employees from companies. HR serve the company and upper level management.
2. If you are victim of mobbing, keep a mobbing diary with exact quoting. Nothing more, nothing less, no speculation. Create an airtight case for future.
3. If you want to change because of mobbing, just find a new job. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT talk to HR about mobbing before you got another job offer at the ready.
4. Present HR with mobbing diary during your exit, imply that you will talk to CEO and take legal actions if you don't get a satisfactory last laugh on the mobber.
5. Do not accept counter-offer from your company-regardless of mobbing case or not. You considered switching to another company, you are branded now and you will be axed at the first chance. Counter-offer is not a guaranteed employment in your company.

I hanged out with a gold digger “friend”. I cringed when she made it obvious though. I guess we are used to non-obvious gold diggers.

So, I forked this dude's terrible project. I faked commits like implementing some incompatible feature. He talks about it on the internet, as expected.

Should I tell him?
Or should I enjoy the show?

Today I realized Youtube Vanced’s pun… it is advanced because there is no ADs…

Blizzard clowns have done it again… they changed male/female to body type selection. Voices are still male/female, characters are still referred as he/she. Fuck these pandering piece of shits.

I hate non-tech people hijacking tech field inch by inch.

What is this font? Anyone knows? Rounds in the letters seem uniqie

"A good software developer writes good code. Better software developer deletes bad code."

Me, after using Generic types in some source code and deleting 250 lines effectively.

Every sacrifice you make for your job will be forgotten in a minute and won’t be rewarded unless you force their hand.

Luckily, I outsourced this experience and have never made sacrifices.

Not *having to* work for a salary job after being 40 years old.

Is there an ios app that records my gps logs for last n day(cyclic buffer)? Privacy is also important: data shouldn’t leave my phone: no internet access.

Fuck this shit

Fucking cringe ads with “programmer’s humor”

I realized I wouldn’t be great electronics engineer so I switched to computer enginering. Best decision of my life. I have so much comfortable work experience because I am natural in this job

I don’t work without rest. In fact, I rest during the work. I was once got caught by the director(3 level above me) while sleeping in my cubicle.

If you ever have noise sensitivity like me, use bluetooth headphone with active noise cancellation(wh1000xm4 is cool) during the day and wax earplugs during sleep.

That combo saves my sanity.

Whatsapp is really great but a Groups tab to separate one to one and group chats would be great. I just want to be able to not see red notification icon. I want to see it only when I specifically switch to groups tab.

Experimented with embedded Rust. Fuck that. C is a brilliant small language. Trustworthy. Rust is just C++ killer, it doesn’t belong in embedded domain. Bloated syntax, verbose error handling, crap quality crates with little to no documentation.

{“lastname” : “momoa”}

Pomodoro timers work only when the task at hand is boring. Yesterday, I worked non-stop on some task I greatly enjoyed(Rust embedded) and I would get distracted if there was some disruption because some overrated technique.

Indian accent, especially when they talk English.

Social media makes me toxic. Yet I could not leave it. Best I could do was reducing insta connection below 40. Is there a social media discourager app?

I think the most people who are saying remote increased efficiency is hiding the fact their total job output has dropped. They can hide when they are not working and not everydev job is stimulating, so you can bullshit your way with increased efficiency. Some, like web dev, is brain damaging for example.
Tldr: for most of the people, job output drops because of lack of oversight. A few examples of better remote worker won’t change the fact.
