Ha. Poo poo point is a good hike. No relevance but given the community, I said it.

A duel it is then. Finishes last of my wine

Anecdotal share here. I know very few hiring managers that expect candidates to fit 100%, heck 80% even, of a posting. Those that do aren’t ones I would ever want to work for.

I look for 3 things. And that’s not a hard and fast rule or anything. Aptitude, motivation and culture fit. I also look to my peers and larger team for their thoughts along these points.

People (pleasantly) surprise you. My last best hire (I moved to away from direct line management in my new gig) was working at their local Walmart for a year after a tough layoff from a pre sales role. I thought I would get more push back but everyone including my then boss, were like yeah! They just needs another opportunity.

And for what it’s worth, they were a great culture fit and figured the rest out along the way.

Thanks. I heard that in his voice.

Is that mass effect?

White tie… It’s over 9000!!

Why do you want the army in charge of the boat people?

Yeah my corpo laptop actually came with it. It’s standard on all our renewed devices now. I was pleasantly surprised. Apparently the CTO deemed it so.

Good faith response here so pardon me if it’s a swoosh moment. One of my devices is a fairly recent Mac. And it has a headphone jack. Which I appreciate greatly.

No no please. Continue.

Whoa. Can we go deeper?

My professor (computer science - NP complete problems specific) had a theory.

Higher up your education, more and more you learn about less and less.

I am convinced he accidentally stumbled across Buddhism all on his own (he was a religious Christian, the generous, do not judge others kind). Because Buddha seems to have done his PhD in nothing. Even “wrote” the whole dissertation on nothingness.

If you do test their theory, get tested often.

I thought I was the only one. But turns out, there are dozens of us!

Really though. Just ran a Google search. Take it with a grain of salt. 100 million subs worldwide. So it’s not huge. But doesn’t feel small either.

Pretty much same. I do get a “free” premium account with Google Fi. But since I’m paying for family already, that just sits there. But still, 5 bucks per family member per month for music and YouTube ad free, I can’t argue. It works for me.

I would reconsider things if price went up 50% though. Nothing is irreplaceable.

So for every victim that died at the hands of a rapist, your judgement is that they should not have fought back as hard. Got it.

Not vegan but this is also how I “hunt.”. It pairs very well with my love of the outdoors.

Did not know this. Thanks!!
