some ppl read halfway through this & stopped. please see the final sentence
💯 i use a glorified chatgpt variant at work to write simple scripts to help me parse shit, or feed it long user manual pdfs so i can ask questions about tedious board bringup / phy reg stuff. it makes that stuff faster & easier for sure. but AI isn’t the 2nd coming of christ
please stop reading this thinking i’m advocating for AI usage in the workplace. i think it’s horseshit 90% of the time.
i just wanna make it known that i was a huge Nathan Fielder fan BEFORE season 2 of The Rehearsal, let alone this new documentary 😜
network engineer interviews be like “you need to have expert level knowledge & experience working with BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, 4 major vendors, & route redistribution in production” …& then the job is just answering the same easy customer ticket over & over forever

yep, it sucks that a conference for women was canceled but also makes sense to me that it happened, given that the conference no longer appeared to be serving its purpose or focused on its target demographic
the grace hopper conference was cancelled this year due to low turnout / financials & i am not surprised at all
ive never been myself, but i have heard from MANY past women attendees that it’s been steadily being overrun by men over the years & quality has gone way down
ohhhh boy let’s just say having a reactive dog that was never fully socialized properly is definitely a new technical challenge
it’s spider season in seattle, which means it’s time for me to abduct a bunch of juvenile orb weavers & rehome them in my garden
ok so i’m learning the experience is quite different for various folks. it has always seemed like a dumpster of fakery to me but as a creator there are sooo many businesses that want to pay to promote stuff on there. so there’s gotta be someone paying attention ??
