In case anyone is curious - as I was - here’s the commercial: https://youtu.be/uTVlnehpRHQ

(Not the Toys R Us channel, in case you don’t want to give them direct views.)

Hahaha I wish. There isn’t any real “management” to speak of where I’m at, and it’s a flat structure, meaning literally anyone can send me work and I’m just expected to do it. Right now I’m working the weekend to finish a task that someone else couldn’t do and it fell to me. There’s a ticketing system, but it’s only really half-used (of course, I myself turn these tasks into tickets, but that’s about it).

Trying to slowly change all this over time, because I love my job outside of this lack of management, but I also don’t hold any delusions about that.

I’m lucky to not have many meetings in my current dev job, but I get the same effect from having a dozen people a day asking for “quick” fixes for various bugs that are conveniently always more urgent than whatever big task I’m in the middle of.

I feel like everyone has their preferred builds they kind of gravitate to and feel comfortable with. That, and for me, a lot of luck to make up for my lack of skill lol.

Noita.

I’ve gotten the Greed ending once (defeating Kolmisilmä and “completing” The Work), but I’ve never even considered attempting the true ending.

Seems like OP is not familiar with fae mythology.

Love how they make this sound like some incredible feat. When you aren’t bound to license agreements, turns out it’s actually very easy to have a “massive” content library. Literally the only hurdle is storage space.

Because all the legal services are incredibly anti-consumer and are offering less services, with (more) ads, for more money every year.

It’s like they took an ergonomics textbook and read it upside-down.

Haha literally what planet do they live on?

That was quite a segue into complaining about inflation.

Oh hey, I think I’m the guy from that post! Lol

Glad you’re enjoying it! I’ve been having a lot of fun with it too - even if my wife sometimes thinks I’m crazy when I “just quickly run over here” to check the hours for this place, haha.

My “Global Rank” is a bit over 5000, but I’m not sure if that’s the same number as you’re looking at, given the range. 400th in Canada, though!

If it helps, and if you haven’t already, I recommend looking into “executive disfunction”.

Might not fit your personal experience, but it can be nice to know when there’s a name for a problem you’re facing.

I’ve wasted so much time just sitting, doing nothing, feeling overwhelmed. Having a name for that feeling was the first step for me to (at least somewhat) overcome it.

1: Does IBM even have an LLM that would be considered “good” these days? Maybe they do, but I haven’t heard about it.

2: If this was in 2019, no wonder it flopped. Only very recently have we gotten to a point where this should’ve even been considered (and then, in my opinion given the current state of LLMs, dismissed).

3: More than 100 stores were testing this?? Did they not think to start with like, one store and see if that worked at all?

4: While a short-lived victory, this is still a win for people that rely on these jobs. Good for them.

I mean, there isn’t really one singular instance for Canada lol.

(?<!MagnyusG)

Oh absolutely, I just meant to say that technically I am on a “local instance”.

Yeah, that’s the stuff that makes this difficult. I can talk all day about what “makes sense”, but you throw one corporate executive into the mix and everything falls apart.

sh.itjust.works is Canadian last I checked, though it isn’t readily apparent.

Not sure if I’m able to change my username (and too lazy to check right now), but that’s honestly not a bad plan.
