Maybe normalize bringing a camera then? Photography is not banned.

What other reason would tech billionaires and CEOs care to spy on you? They bought everything else, they have a privacy fetish obviously.

And the engineers who work there too.

Upvoted for honesty lol.

Somehow I doubt allowing it actually meaningfully helps the situation. It sounds like an alcoholic arguing that a glass of wine actually helps them not drink.

Let’s just make it 0 already, get it over with.

I’m wondering how that stacks up to human drivers. Since the data is redacted I’m guessing not well at all.

Perfection. When can you start?

I feel bad because I used to work in top tech, I hated it. Honestly I pity them.

Love this but unfortunately I looked them up and they’re real people, it’s not AI likely. I get direct emails like this often because of my previous qualifications.

I thought “kowtowing to a fascist” in the top post was accurate but might get me in legal trouble. Also he has a legal precedent for buying people’s bodies, sounded risky. So you are the winner. I modified it and threw some shade on top. Enjoy.

I went to a top university, worked for years in top tech, and trashed my mental health. Finally decided to leave after getting PIP’d for absolutely no good reason, I got off the PIP but I was too burned. Literally anxiety/panic attacks every day. Saved up a lot and left, took a few years off to recover mentally. Studied to get back into top tech, leetcode grinded, then applied around.

I was mostly looking at companies with a good Blind WLB review. Got an interview with a tiny company at half my previous salary, I was super duper overqualified. But I fell in love with the manager, he was actually legitimately nice and cared about me more in 5 seconds than I ever felt from any other manager in years. I accepted the offer and since starting it’s exactly what I expected, wonderful management and a good culture. Sleepy a.f. and the codebase is crap, low pay and everyone is checked out, but never looked back and it’s working good for me. I don’t think I can go back to top tech, certainly never would consider xAI.

I’m also lucky I was able to save enough for retirement so that I can accept half my previous salary and be comfortable. It won’t work for everyone but it’s working for me. My job is easy, 20-25 hours a week to perform 2-3x the others on my team. I do miss the technical challenges of my last job, top tech is a lot more gratifying. Legacy code is its own challenge, luckily I’m able to see it that way but it’s easy to get checked out like that.

I’ve taken it upon myself to refactor their legacy code in huge swaths against the odds. We have some other top tech folks here in recent years for the same reason so it’s perceived well, but many don’t want to take the risks of breaking something. It’s a daily struggle to modernize stuff and it keeps me going. It’s optional, they don’t really care if I take the short term path, so no stress. I’ve poured my heart into code that is shot down because “don’t fix what isn’t broken” that is infuriating. But it’s a good challenge. It’s wonderful really and I’ve never been happier in my life. I hope you find that happiness, friend. Feel free to DM me. I don’t care about doxxing, the NSA knows who we all are.

Are you… Are you me?

That meme plus the description gets my vote so far. It’s just antifacist enough. But it’s up to Lemmy, not me.

This is winning so far and I appreciate not using the word “Nazi” but the gesture wasn’t necessary.

It’s not spam. Actually this is exactly how I got my first top tech job. Cold email, interviews, bam ludicrous offer paying twice my salary. I am more than qualified to work there.

I found a great job and I love my career again. But it’s not a big tech company.

Nope, never used xAI, Twitter, Starlink, or Tesla, or anything of the sort. They know about me because of my LinkedIn and prior top tech mobile experience I’m guessing. I’d rather be homeless than work here.

If they planned a 1 month migration of a small component, 6 months to complete would be pretty lucky imo. Refactoring Legacy Code mentions the 2.0 approach they’re taking. Spoiler alert, it doesn’t work…

You could mass edit your comment history to be the same comment you got banned for. That’s what I did to cope 🖕I got banned from 5 more subreddits over it, looking at the b.s. excuses brought me some closure. The comment was “Musk’s fumes are fatally toxic”. Instaban.
