My previous manager (same company, different team) was an idiot who somehow failed his way up and he gave way too much credit to courses and certificates. He would end up hiring the worst people (both from a team fit and a skills fit). The one candidate I pushed for that didn’t have any of that BS ended up being awesome.

Luckily enough people complained and a few people quit that he got banished to the shadow realm (he’s good at a completely different skillset which requires you to be stupidly annoying like he is, so they moved him to a team of…just himself).

It seems it’s up for debate but there is evidence of it being true. And according to the Wikipedia article, he was 12 at the time but had been trying to enlist and tagged along with the 22nd Michigan Infantry since he was 9. His story is fascinating.

If you’re going to post it online, you should look into AI poisoning. I haven’t really looked into it too much for text information, but I know some content creators implement it into their videos or images.

Sorry if you already know this, but just posting in case someone doesn’t:

AI poisoning is basically finding a way to embed data into your content so that it fucks up LLMs when they try to ingest your content.

With the current state of affairs, I’m worried he’s going to fall out of a window and shoot himself in the back of the head

It’s kind of hilarious that “AI” is taking us down without even being actual AI. Maybe hilarious isn’t the right word.

Alright that is great to hear, it makes me a little more hopeful.

Not saying the stroke turned him into a piece of shit, but if a stroke would turn me into a piece of shit, then I honestly would rather not survive it

My concern is that Cuomo is planning to run as an independent and my pessimism is telling me that somehow he might win. I mean no one thought Trump would win in 2016 or again in 2024, but here we are.

But the part of me that wants something to hold on to is desperately optimistic that this might be the start of the change.

I totally agree, I just wish more studios would agree to give shows the graceful ending they deserve.

I feel like from a writing perspective, it would also help to know how long your show is going to be so you can fit in everything you want appropriately.

I think That 70s Show was 8 seasons long if I’m remembering correctly and you’re right, season 8 was absolutely terrible. It had been declining already by then, but atleast if they ended with season 7, they would’ve ended in a better spot.

Honestly season 8 felt like a spinoff written by someone else.

Have you ever thought of moving to become a Cloud Admin or DevOps or something?

Currently working as a weird hybrid DevOps Engineer/Solutions engineer position, but I still see job postings for DevOps engineers out there.

But yeah, I’m right there with you, I’m fed up with the IT world and have been thinking of a career change but I just have no idea what kind of career I’d actually like.

May I ask, what are you taking classes for?
