yeah, and this approach is so bullshit it is ridiculous - it depends on a child being self-conscious and motivated enough to get into stuff that A LOT of time and effort to understand even with significant adult assistance and proper focus. Of course there will be a significant segment that won't handle it well
My dad used to say Apple is evil exactly because of that - they make stuff for people who want fancy shit but have little to no interest in actual tech.
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.
the bigger problem is that some teachers are so mentally checked out that they make those subjects actively unappealing. I wonder what makes them that way...
what's unnerving is that there lots of POW reports that indicate that women showcase far more cruelty towards female POWs compared to men.
