My dumbass opened up this repo full of hope and then realized I can't read any of this XD, I trained in the early 2000s, my first language was Java, I'm pampered as all hell.
The last time I saw assembler was in a bloody history class :P
Mind you, old school game developers were absolute gangsters and gave 0 shits about anything except things working and that's what I appreciates about them.
It's just bloody hard to read, unless you wrote it, and wrote it recently. You effectively have to have the state of the register set in your mind the whole time.
Lots of C code from back then is just as impenetrable though. It has structure but it's terse and mechanical.
Everyone rolling their own lists and hash tables and string functions in every program, lots of unrolled loops, etc. Different constraints. Memory & CPU was expensive.
I started paying for Signal when they rolled out the subscription feature at the $5/mo plan and after reading this post, I just moved to the $10/mo plan because of how much I value this service since I use it every day. I hope other users subscribe if they are able to do so.
Hey mate! The animation look doooope, if any of the young animators are interested in the gaming industry and need someone to ask questions from(That isn't trying to hire them or get them to sign up for a course)
Stick a fork in them, they're done. At least with that name they are. Easiest thing would be to disolve, and start a brand new company with the same people.
Don't get me wrong, whether they have or don't have intelligence ties is irrelevant. No one serious uses them, they're a general public supplier, and the general public is about as brave as a gringo cop, i.e.: not much.
So they're about to lose a chunk of customers and Tutanota's leadership isn't exactly quality so who knows what they'll do.
Sorry mate! Didn't want to be mean XD, but funny you commented this, because I posted about it on LinkedIn and got like 5 private messages asking:"Should I really switch?" XD, so you're at least not alone and in the company of some pretty fine people :P
Came accross this. Looks more like activism than anything else, nonetheless, thought it interesting. I started watching it and it seems to work fine, but still curious.
Thoughts? Because I'm pretty sure this will last top 5 days before Disney finds the poor fuckers and sue them into oblivion.
Disney has yet to take any action against Harmy as long as his version has been available. Maybe they figure that it costs them nothing (he's offering a product they refuse to sell, and could if they did), and suing would only serve to bring more attention to it.
XD! Sorry, I was just exagerating :P I'm just moving my personal and companies money around, but because my company operates in several countries, I interact with financial systems a lot, that's why I noticed a pattern.
But like I said in my other comment(which already has 2 downvotes, well done bots), it looks like a fluke, and nothing important.
It looks fine, dark areas are dark, green areas are green.
Still, my antenitas de vinil are twitching, someone, somewhere fucked up I think, probably not important and probably already fixed, but it was a weird one.
Because I just helped a client set-up their Monero and put funds into it, no problem, zilch, smooth as butter.
So are ETH, BTC, and even fucking DOGE.
For a moment I thought that the Serbians had rushed into fucking Kosovo and were pulling a DDOS, I mean... Not the Serbians obviously, but you know.
So yeah, probably nothing, meeting a mate next week in London however, he's BT so I'll ask him if he's seen anything odd.
Right mate, so I'm not autistic, but I've been a software engineer for a little bit over a decade, so I can at least help with that.
So, in general, the "harder" the technical work, the less you talk to people. So if you want to avoid the MBAs, suits, bean-counters and other assorted ghouls, look for the "hardest" technical work.
The simplest way, anything that involves complex mathematics like cryptography, finance, big data, etc...
Another good candidate is moving to work on bare metal, so that means working as close as possible to the computer's physical hardware. I'd recommend looking into Rust if that interests you, it's a relatively gentle introduction to bare metal.
In the past I would have recommended AI and Cybersecurity as also good spaces, but unfortunately Wall Street's interest in both fields has made them chockfull of scam artists, under-trained and over-paid technical personnel, and even more over-over-paid executives.
This goes 4 times over for the games industry which is basically untenable as is and would not recommend to anyone at the moment, with the exception of hardcore graphics programming, which is pretty technical and also can be widely applied to several uses like cinema or scientific simulation.
As for the autism bit, well mate, I'd consider where you are currently living. Are you living in a country where your status as someone who is neurodivergent is respected or not?
If you are, then try to connect with resources that might help you.
If you're not living in a country that is friendly towards neurodivergent people, then I can recommend migration. I myself migrated to Canada and I'm perfectly content, although unemployed at the moment.
Canada has an express entry option for professions that are in demand and software engineering is definitely one of them. And I'm pleased and proud to say that Canada does offer both legal protection and actual help to the neurodivergent(although it's not perfect, and mostly good in cities). So please, take us into consideration.
I’ve been working in the Hardware space for about 10 years now in consumer electronics as a firmware engineer and I find that at least 30% of my time is spent interacting and in meetings with cross functional teams. Just due to the nature of electronics requiring many different disciplines such as Product Design, electrical engineers, software, QA, UXR, PMs etc it can actually be hard to get away without having meetings at all in order to ship a large project. I also find that there’s a heavy culture in the HW space to give presentations and learnings regularly. Not trying to dissuade you from hardware because I’m sure there are HW positions that arent like I mentioned but just something that might be helpful when considering.
I think you may find that jobs are not advertised as other jobs. It is such a specialised and important area that if you reach out you will find what you are looking for.
Being upfront like you are doing is going to get you where you want to be.
Maybe talk to your current HR department and manager and put your foot down. A little stress now for lots less later. If you need to move, big gov agencies can have set (fixed - no need for more meetings) work and decent conditions.
