@zlice OMG, I think you missed the joke tag for your comment.
-
@TheCommoner282 lol. There's always some kind of bias. Nobody can escape that
-
@TheCommoner282 I get it and that's what I think is happening.
Racist is probably not entirely correct term in this context. Bias or racial/cultural bias is more apt.
I feel because I was the right fit for the project, I got the role.
At the same time, I also feel the reverse is also true, i.e I didn't get the other jobs or got pigeon holed because of my or the other person's background.
What I mean is who would you choose if all things equal, one person went to the same school as you or barracks for the same sports team -
@TheCommoner282 it's not about dumb or intelligent.
As I read it, its between ppl who are on par or almost on par. -
As I'm saying it's not about the skill level. At least that's what I feel. I'm better in customer facing roles. I'm equal or better with coding and debugging skills which has been demonstrated and acknowledged by my peers too. In fact I'm put into difficult projects. The way I see it is I'm being used for my strengths without allowing me to grow or apply in other areas. This may be g8od from management POV but I feel I'm getting the raw end.
-
I can understand the best person for the job argument. Isn't it stereotyping though?
What about being looked over for other projects?
I can say I'm definitely qualified in those other areas as well. -
I use AWESOME window manager on Ubuntu
-
It could also be they are bad at grammar
-
What about brain dump?
As in, let's get together to get your brain dump from the trip -
@Root well. Me too. It's getting ridiculous.
"Release early and release often" crowd didn't get the memo that it's a bad idea to apply it to planes, trains and cars.
Personally, I'm horrified at seeing how much the balance sheet dictates decision making. Forget morality, did the 6 letter word ethics mean anything any more... -
Well well well well well.....
-
@alexbrooklyn would it have bothered you less if the person calling you had a nice Western accent rather than a "thick" Indian accent?
Just asking -
It can! Depending on how good your html typing skills are 😀
-
Happened to me once:
What manager asked: is it open source?
What he really meant: Can we use this in our product without paying anyone? -
@thekaleidoscope Surprise surprise!
-
He's a crappy programmer. He must have brought back 13 loaves
-
Congratulation!!
-
@electrineer hang on. I just didn't want to be arrested in international waters!!😉
-
@electrineer did you mean circumference by diameter?
-
I sent out a mail and BCCed one guy. That guy does a reply all. The reason for me BCCing him in the first place was that others in the chain shouldn't know.
-
@rookiemaverick they should hire a project manager. Will make 9 resources work in parallel to get the result in a month 😁
-
@hube I think I do. They collect the GPS locations of phones whose GPS were on when they came in range or connected to that wifi. Over time they have a database of wifi APs(BSSID) and their GPS location. So if any other phone comes in the range of same wifi, then they know it's location, even though it's GPS may be off
-
@spoiledgoods be quick and push them into management !!!
-
@Root I just don't subscribe to deception even though it is to drive the "herd" towards my version of morality.
-
@jAsE 😂.So true.
-
@Root. I'm no Microsoft fanboy. It's certainly not lawful to mislead. One can certainly try to inform about the fallacies of IE instead of "clever" customizations to achieve the same.
-
@Root doing something good doesn't make it ethical
-
Why would you do that
-
Might I ask which book is that?
-
Oh no. Not another white supre...
