i just have c# training this week and they didn't bother to boil it down to the differences with c++ despite targeting an audience of seasoned c++ programmers so there's a lot of us nodding and trying not to fall asleep while the guy expounds about things like inheritance or the protected keyword for half an hour

we also saw the best practices for implementing the disposable pattern and lmao what a loving clown show, garbage collected languages are so stupid

I'm coaxing my laptop to stay awake because a large critical download fails if it falls asleep and I can't change the sleep timer due to corporate security = work

it’s okay to stop the guy and say that we all know this, why don’t you fast forward to the part we don’t know yet. alternatively you can post on your phone while getting paid

recent change at my salt mine away from informal "you worked x hours nights and weekends, take most of that back by loving off from work early, put 40 on your time sheet, hr doesn't need to know about this, but we need you guys fresh and don't want the burnout timer to tick away any faster than absolutely necessary" to formal "gently caress you work more if you don't like it there's the door"

soooooo i've noticed an uptick in people being logged in but taking a really long time to get back on requests and i don't blame a single one of them

why yes, i am on a work call right now

my afternoon at work was what one could call "quiet"

one of the best parts of having my main focus these days be a project for a customer 14,000 km away is that the latency makes video calls basically impossible so maybe one in five meetings I have involves me having my camera on

I just do my work during meetings, similar to how I would do homework for the previous class in the next class in school. Maybe public school did prepare me for the workforce, who knows.
