@peteriskrisjanis why make it a gender thing?

@lucifargundam are you talking to me? I'm always only speaking for myself...

@izaya @cinebox if it's obvious where you're based (i.e., it's in your profile) it doesn't seem like a problem

@ulrike I definitely know who those people have been on my teams. when I think of people that I'd like to work with again, they're always top of the list because I could see how critical their work was.

I expected the first thing the author would talk about is changing the role itself rather than the engineer moving to a different role, etc. Leadership and management is baked into the criteria for advancement at my company, so you can be a software engineer who also manages people and that's valued. Maybe--and really I am just guessing--it's because we're an actual engineering organization and not a "tech company"? There are so many engineering roles just on one project that privileging "writing code" or even drawing up designs on its own for promotion seems bizarre. It's all about meeting customer needs and minimizing costs.

(side note: when did "IC" become an abbreviation we're expected to just know what you mean?)

@josemanuel it's not my "reasoning"--that makes it sound like far more consideration than I bothered to put in--but it's a reason. it's easy enough to post a link to a post and it displays in any client already

@techladylaura this Libby thing needs to phone home to collect? seems like it would use your clock or at least charge you a fine or something for overdue returns when you do finally return them

i think I've realized i don't like difficult video games that rely on reflex and timing. it's *just* frustrating. gives me a very "too old for this shit" feeling

@josemanuel i don't like QT's because they don't show up in Tusky. Seems like they did before or something, like "QT: <link-to-thread>", but for your toots, it just looks like you forgot to add a link or something
