Interview via MS Teams? How about NO. in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev
Interview via MS Teams? How about NO. in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev
[–] 70 points 4 days ago (8 children)

I had a job interview for a Senior Linux Engineer, the interview was via MS Teams, I mentioned that MS Teams does not have Linux support (at the time) and requested to have the interview over any other service. They replied asking me to use Windows for the interview, as that was the OS my work laptop would use. I politely replied that I was no longer interested.

    small rant incoming

    I work for a company that it's mostly hardware focused, but we do ship some software for the final consumer including drivers and programs, to make use of said hardware.

    While I am not in the software department, I held some SWE positions in previous companies for over a decade, our software isn't very complex and I do know most of it pretty well.

    Our employee just announced a new AI-only development cycle, they want all code submissions and reviews to be exclusively done by claude, effectively ending ownership of the code being shipped to customers. This is absolute madness.

    Today, I received an email scheduling a workshop on how to integrate claude into vscode and how to work with the new gitflow, namely removing our authorship from commits and having al code reviews done by a LLM now.

    I am just baffled at the decision.

    edit: wow I'm a bit overwhelmed by the response, I did read all of you. Thanks!

    Switched from reddit to lemmy because they banned my account in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

    I got banned from r/unpopularopinion circa 2015 for trolling. I submitted a post saying that only because something is on Netflix, doesn't mean that it is automatically good. I got downvoted to hell and a lot of comments showing counter-examples, now that I think about, it must've been Netflix PR team.

    Anyhow, decided to delete my account that was prior to the Digg migration, then made a new one, but never posted again. Now I'm here and loving it!

    last week in the subway, there were two people chatting right at the base of the escalator, other passengers were awkwardly shoving past them.

    When I got to them I said "you are going to take the escalator or not?" they didn't reply, but quickly jump into the escalator, then they got out they just stood there continuing talking, at the top. I naturally got shoved into them and told me to look where I was going.

    I upgraded to a 5700X3D for €200 two years ago and I'm very happy with my decision to upgrade my ageing AM4 desktop. I know that the difference is marginal to the 5800X3D, but I am seriously considering buying one, if the price is reasonable, just to keep my current computer alive just a little bit longer.

    Neighbourhood association used AI to split bills (lemmy.world)

    First of all I don't live in a neighbourhood with something equivalent of a HOA, but we do have an organisational unit that involves the group of 6 homes where I live in.

    We had a meeting regarding the repair of a shared drain pipe following an inspection we had earlier this year, the camera inspection had a cost of €120 that was equally divided among 6 households, so €20 each, nice and easy.

    After getting the quote for the repairs, one of our neighbours asked chatgpt to split the bill, €1500 divided by 6.

    edit: paraphrasing, he proudly said "I asked chatgpt and 1500/6 is 250”

    Do you really need to ask an LLM to divide two numbers? something the cheapest calculator can do instantly, or better yet, something you can easily do I your head?
