He knew everything so well that I feel like I ended up leaning on that knowledge when I was stumped. I mean it definitely helped me get through problems quicker and somewhat accelerated my learning, but I feel like it sort of limited what I learn too.

bull3964 posted:Seeing a model like that mixed with living could also be interesting. Revamp an old office building, making the outer ring with windows apartments while making the inner core shared office workspaces. Let's you maintain a work/life separation and work around other people with zero commute. Just one big unhappy COVID cluster waiting to happen, with people working in an enclosed room 9-5 with no daylight, and sedentary living conditions discouraging exercise. As well as cycled airflow ensuring if one person gets sick in the building with anything then everyone does, because "going home" just puts them in another part of the same building and using the same common-contact surfaces regardless.

If this is the situation and this is how you're feeling, you made the right choice. It will take a lot of work but it sounds like a great opportunity. I think a lot of us probably went through a similar situation in our careers and it's really... informative? Enhancing? Beneficial? I'm not sure exactly what word I'm looking for here. But it'll be good for learning a lot.

Mustache Ride posted:I've got a buddy that works for them. Basically it's a PC nightmare. Yeah Mustache Ride, we are going to need to talk about "Merit". "Merit" in a perfect world wouldn't be something you would want question very often. We don't live in a perfect world though. Embracing diversity is a good thing because it means that you are trying to give people opportunities that weren't previously open to them. Minorities are going to have less experience than average because they have been unfairly restricted from the beginning of their careers. Their entire lives even. People like you think "hire the best candidate regardless of skin color" and believe its a good and honest thing. It often isn't the case. The "best candidates" have most likely been the most privileged. The world is changing Mustache Ride. Its time to change with it.

Submarine Sandpaper posted:hot take but a minority of comparable skillset will be a better worker then the alternative You're right, that is a hot take. I think I just let out the world's longest sigh. The answer to "how can we be better at this" isn't pitting workers against each other and saying "well this magical minority group will work even harder for the money!"

Even though our HR dept is glacially slow I do like how they screen canidates. Basically names/gender/ethnicity are all kept hidden right up until the interview. We're also forced to ask the same questions to each candidate to try and enforce a fair interview process. Its not perfect, and there is still room for bigotry but it does a good job of removing some bias from the process.

My personal take is if you get any annoyed at any sort of protected class (that you are not a member of) sensitivity out-reach because you don't think you need it, then you are exactly the audience that needs it. Even if you feel you conduct yourself in a way that's an ally, everyone could use a bit more dedicated time to dwell on the topic.

Methanar posted:Tbh I didn't appreciate when my company started pushing that "how not to be racist while white" book either Considering neither the book mentioned in the IP chatlog pictures or the book you are referencing match the names of any actual book, it's kinda hard to tell what we're talking about here! If you're already educated on the topic then you should have no problem with them trying to educate others. If you aren't, why would you not appreciate a recommendation going out? There's definitely a leftist "these capitalist companies are pushing books that talk about anti-racism only through a pro-capitalism lens" critique that could be had here, but ahm... I don't think that's what we're talking about here. So why did you not appreciate it?

I’m also pretty annoyed with how your friend othered the hell out of that poor trans speaker. How dare she make an emoji feminine! If y’all are still doing traditional sysadmin work, you should make sure your systems for changing someone’s preferred name is easy, automated, and consistent! Whether it’s for someone changing their preferred first name and gender, or someone changing their last name due to getting into or out of marriage, you should implement a system that makes name changes easy. It’s within your power, will make a difference for people going forwards, and can be a fun engineering challenge depending on your environment. I make a point of setting something up everywhere I work now. It’s simple, easy, and makes your org more inclusive.

Minorities are going to have less experience than average because they have been unfairly restricted from the beginning of their careers. Their entire lives even. You guys need to work in some lovely environments or something. At my last job, my senior engineer burned out. Our junior engineers left and weren't replaced. The director put in his notice when it was just me, him, and an analyst. If you got a good number of outstanding applicants for open positions, it's a great policy. If there's not much difference in output between a low performer and a top performer, no big deal. When your team is permanently short staffed, you don't have the luxury of giving people a six month ramp up time. It perpetuates the cycle of needing experience to get experience, but that's on companies for cutting to the bone rather than pasty white guys only wanting to work with ubermensch.
