The ironic thing is that PG&E (PCG) is coming out of bankruptcy next week and will probably close to double in value..

But people are buying up a stock (hertz) that is going into bankruptcy instead.

Yeah, probably.

Hello all.. I am a jack-of-all-trades / IT generalist who would like to transition into an entry / mid-level Java or Kotlin development position. I don't need a ton of pay for the SF area, you could probably hire me for half what most developers here would want. In return, I'd ask for some patience and mentorship for a few months while I learn more best practices and your companies way of doing things. Looking to primarily deepen my Java / Kotlin skills in the next year or two, which are fairly rudimentary right now. Most of my experience thus far has been for very small shops where I had to wear a lot of hats and didn't primarily focus on software dev, but did more project management, implementation, and web development. Rather than continue as a generalist, I want to transition to being a full-time developer.

    Location:  SF Bay Area
    Remote: sure
    Willing to relocate: no
    Technologies: Java, Kotlin, PHP, Python, Linux Server Admin, Xen Virtualization,
        IT Project Management, Bash, Vim, Javascript, Software implementation, Technical writing.
    Résumé/CV: Avail upon request
    Email: wagist@gmail.com

It's an emotional decision, not a rational one.

That doesn't mean it's not a good idea.

There was MySpace before Facebook, 2nd mover advantage and all that.

Way more than that if you count diseases from ticks.

Frustrating article -- I have several killer ideas (and ideas for decent execution paths for them as well,) but I tend to get pigeon-holed as "just an idea guy" and generally invalidated..

So I've tried to learn to program to execute them myself, but that's a slow, long process, I'm an excellent Project Manager but a B- programmer, plus trying to wear every hat in a company is not exactly fun.

I've seen so much talent wasted on such poor ideas over the years, it's frankly unbelievable, and it never seems to change.

2 in office, 2 from home.

Fixed how... Comcast is basically a monopoly in many areas

I only know a tiny bit about stack ranking, but I would think just the opposite... wasn't it designed to (at least partially) select for more conscientious employees?

Yes, that's the failsafe

Better burn those books..

>I don’t believe they actually miss the tourists themselves. Tourists are merely delivery vehicles for food.

Sharing food between mammals generally leads to bonding. Like, all mammals.

Oh, did you mean Uber and not the economy as a whole?

It's more like a pause.

What makes you think it's a collapse?

Everyone is throwing money into tech stocks right now because they "seem safe"

Try running the numbers on TSLA... they should be at like $300 on their best day.

This is developer support, not user support.

We break even on Door Dash orders, at best. They take 30%, which is all of our profits and then some.

But we still use them because there is demand and so our revenue looks strong.

Those are $9.25 an hour support agents who are paid mostly to get you off the phone and take 70 calls a day.

Or their $10.25 an hour tier 3 "supervisors" who you might escalate the call to.

Always has been for 10+ years now.

As a former Call Center Director, it's pretty amazing to me how much bad-will these massive companies are willing to foment by not running their support correctly.

It's not that hard / expensive guys... you can hire great support employees for $20 / hour all across America.

So... what was the issue?

way too bendy, not a hotdog

How does abusive speech, assuming it isn't from a government official, restrict freedom?

Then Udacity nano-degree is probably best imo.

Exactly. ^

Personally, I like to try to track how many times functions have been called (if possible), where bottlenecks are and if they make sense (is there some trade-off that necessitated them), and overall module usage.

That gives a more generally clear picture of performance.

It's not like Subway wants to do this sort of extra work... it's government mandated, at least in some areas like Washington.

I don't think he is specifically an ex-executive per se, just a top notch speaker.

It's crazy how stuff like this keeps coming out, but Amazon's stock just keeps going up..

Smart branding... they are really going after zoom huh..
