any time ive dropped notice, there was literally nothing they could have done anyways so yours is usually the correct reply. i made the decision to go because current work:figgies balance was out of whack, countering just prolongs my pain.

i dont know if it is that bad, i believe he thought that if you were writing to the network you couldn't also write to the disk because like, idk the bus was overwhelmed? who the gently caress knows, he was trying to argue that we were writing to disk so much that we couldn't push bytes out the nic.... not because the threads were busy writing to disk, but because the computer just couldn't do it

After august when I release our new product I am going to be handing in my notice and it's foing to feel so so soooooooo good.

The sheer amount of incompetence leading me to working 60+ hours a week for weeks on end is straight up too much.

Today my boss told me that I should take a few hours off because I am already over 50 hours this week.

He was the one who made my vacation at the end of the month contingent on the end of May deadline. gently caress him.

on the other hand another company is flying me out, because the guy doing the phone screen asked questions an embedded software person would be expected to know and I aced that poo poo

yeah, I'm struggling with this now. not only is my day job not interview question style coding, but it's often not coding at all, so most practice is after hours. hopefully i can get some of the greatest hits of algorithms embedded in my brain before the next interview.

Nothing I've heard about working at Google sounds appealing; it sounds like most teams work on boring corporate bullshit except instead of doing it with relatively normal people, you do it with the sort of people that can pass those interviews (dorks)
