TELL ME AGAIN HOW GREAT BRITAIN WOULD BE IF IT WAS RULED BY THE MERCILESS JACKBOOT OF PRINCE CHARLES

YES I DO TALK TO PLANTS ACTUALLY


there's some mega selection bias going on w/ devs itt. the average YOSPOS dev ~skill level~ is a lot higher than the average devs, and good devs tend to know only other good devs

that's not praise mind you, im saying the average dev is poo poo

That bot makes me feel better about my current job, and like slighlty depressed about the future. OTOH I see adds for webdevs paying 22k constantly so they must pull it down

the taxes they pay in her majesty's land are most assuredly higher than here, and the loltastic housing situation in sf aside, the col in any area of the united states at all is no where near as insane as London.

also there are loads of places in the Midwest that pay shitloads of money in places where the cost of living is almost nothing. ex: Epic

And there are plenty of places like boston where the housing isn't as hosed as SF but the jobs and the money is good

our division cheiftan proposed this project-forming plan where fantasy football type rules are used. you get to build a project team based on pay. e.g. you could have 4x indian-salaried team members for the price of 1x american-salaried member. i anticipate this going very poorly lol

terrible programming status: BLE is still kicking my rear end

my automated test setup isn't firing the "connect" callbacks, also isn't respecting the cmd line MTU argument, so I'm back to poking at my phone to do testing. i'd be thinking less of myself, but the mobile app contractors are far worse at every aspect and my plans to get away without learning BLE are failing miserably. im aware of 4 different OS's handling of BLE MTU settings

I'm a huge fine of our Romania team that runs our distributed job scheduler, and in Dresden we have our group devoted to kernel and OS.

Also we have an ML group in Berlin headed up by this sex machine

India is dragged down by the sheer amount of outsource-at-lowest-cost shops and even then they are really good compared to COL. the UK salary average is not great compared to COL.
