Is it pronounced yoss-poss, yoss-poes, or yoes-poes? I mean, I know which is correct, but just wondering if you guys know.

laptops are the loving worst. if you work with computers your employer should at the very least have the god damned decency to provide you with a workstation - a real computer that can actually use its cpu without thermal throttling after thirty seconds, and that you can actually repair, not one of these small plastic toys urging you to bring work with you wherever you go. for too long we have accepted the mountain coming to muhammad as natural. physically leaving your desk should be equivalent to mentally leaving work behind. bringing your loving laptop with you is dysfunctional as gently caress.

i leave mine at the office every day because yeah gently caress that.

I have a work laptop at home because I work from home once a week when km too hosed up on vicodin after electrolysis to drive. I'm still firm about my hours so I don't feel terribly invaded by it.

I have a random dumb question...

What does it take to do consultancy? Like, if I wanted to offer consultant services as a "highly experienced" software developer and architect, do I need to know anything beyond cs basics and various software designs? I feel like I could easily go into a business and tell them how they're doing everything wrong, and come up with a plan for fixing things.

Anyone here do this kinda stuff or is it really awful somehow?

i did consulting for about a year while i was being a diva about getting a 9-5 and it was alright but not something i'd want to do long term. i got started by telling a company that interviewed me as a first engineering hire that their recruiter was doing them no favours if they were bringing them people with my background for the product they were trying to build. they picked me up as a consultant to help them recruit and vet their initial product and development teams. they recommended me to some acquaintances who were also trying to build out a tech team with little knowledge or experience so i did it again for them. then one of their investors hired me to overhaul a struggling portfolio companies technical team (evaluate the talent they had, recommend who to keep and who to get rid of, come up with an implementation plan for their product problems and help hire replacements). that led me to doing AWS consulting for a few companies that were struggling to make the transition from heroku/digital ocean to AWS

the money was okay but i consistently worked way more hours than i billed, argued a lot with my clients when they wouldn't listen to me and did a lot more implementation than i really should have

out of curiosity, how'd you go about doing this? office space style interviews? sitting in on meetings? looking through commit history?

they brought me in to their office for three weeks where i pretty much just hung out, talked to employees, did little mini seminars on how to use tickets, kanban, code reviews, git, automated testing, continuous integration, writing apis, etc. it was pretty easy to spot the people who were in over their heads and the people who were deadweight

Why did you work more hours than you billed? I've done freelance stuff and never felt bashful about billing all hours I spent working on those projects. Did clients argue about invoices or something?

having tangentially worked with the metrology world, i'm not *that* surprised.

nothing quite like spending billions of dollars and tens of thousands of man-hours to write impressive-sounding certifications to prevent grocery stores from sneakily shaving off a 0.5% weight margin on apples, only to be foiled by an ordinary thumb

i guess this is what always happens when you add modern tech to a centuries-old entrenched business environment

cjs: i've been writing a sensitive-ish financial report based off the staging schemas of our dwh. in the last couple of days, i've been stumbling into a seemingly erratic discrepancies, in increasing numbers, where random rows from stage tables are missing (compared to source systems as of start of the most recent etl cycle). this trickle of complaints has finally "motivated" our dwh architect to make a more systemic check on the issue, and turns out we have data loss across most of stage objects


and the architect does not know why



i guess i will just wait until i come back from vacation and then, if its not fixed, will select * the server in question, upload it to local sqlite database and work it off from there
