  • Working in outsourcing is basically biding your time in-between jobs where you actually do shit. You either start there and go elsewhere as soon as you get a portfolio strong enough to get noticed or go back because you need money and this cool startup fell apart. Most of the time - the outsourcing company is not even about software development or anything - it's just money laundering where folks do some basic apps so it seems legit but it is just to move money in-between offshore accounts. Because of that there is almost an informal agreement that we're all there from paycheck to paycheck until something better comes up so any time someone who actually wants to work shows up and starts making noise - it's not good.

  • it would've been if it was regular tech product company. The aforementioned company used to do shit like Tinder for doctors and mental health chatbots that literally just use ELIZA but cost 100k. People who say modern AI startups are grifters ain't seen the real shit.

  • it is extra funny when 90s nostalgia hit Ukraine and people started talking seriously about how good things been back then. They weren't like at all - it was the shits and everything about it was shit. Truly a lost decade by every definition.

  • I'm so used to hard adblock everything, no ai google - that one time i opened adblockless browser and tried googling something instantly turned into that Joe Pesci meme - so many ads - KILL IT WITH FIRE

  • reminds me of one ex-colleague - we worked at an outsourcing firm. It's a place where you get a paycheck nothing more - the basic course of action is to do everything at half speed because your coke-loving managers will dump more shit to do otherwise. Then comes this lady - first big job opportunity and shit - she was hyperactive overachiever who stayed late and undermined literally anyone by pointing out that anything could be do better and FASTER. And the management fucking loved it. Then she got promoted way over her head and started blaming everyone else for lack of results that were built upon unrealistic expectations she established. Burned out a quarter into her promotion and quit.

  • nah, he was high-profile big business lawyer before getting the minister chair - basically appointed as "the man outside of the system". the problem was - he was a big business lawyer and he basically pushed the big business agenda inside ministry instead of you know state interests and shit. And then he decided to outargue a respected investigative reporter who exposed unlawful scheming inside Defense Ministry and while he was busy proving everybody wrong he outlined the whole thing even better and it caused even bigger public outcry so he was forced to resign.
