Unpopular opinion but the Super Bowl halftime show was shit. And Nad Bummy wanted to sing the lyrics in Spanish because they’re fucking obscene…. His show would have been one long BEEEEEEP sound on national networks. #superbowl #badbunny #nostr

Today I had to interview a "Senior Software Engineer" for the new India offices for the company I work for. To say the interview was a disaster was an understatement. I asked a question about the engineers project that he clearly stated he had done on his resume. No detail other than repeating back to me what he put on his resume. I said OK.. but can you give me any more detail.. he said basically quoted a bit more of his resume.. The coding exercise - complete shitshow - We presented pretty straightforward request - to parse a few lines of log data and turn it into a JSON object. After a few minutes he said "I do not know how to do this.. next question please?" I ended the interview. Next interview was even worse. I asked the candidate to expand on something he stated delivery on in his resume. He said "oh I did not work on that".. And didn't have a laptop available to do the coding part of the interview. I was furious.. a complete waste of my time and my team's time. Later that morning I told one of the members of my team - a young woman from India - what happened.. she said "I was afraid you would run into that.. 'Software Engineers' in India do not actually write code. They do after hours tech support work." I can only guess that they reason they want to be called "Software Engineers" is for the title rather than what they are which is "technical support analyst". Mean while US corporations lay off US engineers by the thousands. I'd laugh if it wasn't so awful #jobs #india #software

The Washington Post fired one-third of its staff, eliminating some 300 journalists covering sports, books, foreign news, and more. In recent weeks, staff had appealed to billionaire owner Jeff Bezos to stop the cuts. What did they think was going to happen? When Bezos bought WaPo he did so as a pet project because it was going to close it's doors.. he thought of it as an "American institution" and it deserved being saved.. But he's not a charitable institution ... Furthermore the bigger problem is that mainstream / print / subscription based publications are dead.. and frankly no one trusts WaPo (and certainly not after him buying it). Those people should have started looking for other jobs a long time ago..
