- Comment on If reality worked the way hiring managers and job interviews thought it did companies would have to fire everyone when they purchased new software since no one would have any experience using it. 3 weeks ago:
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 was 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.

- Comment on YouTube Premium is getting a huge price hike in over a dozen countries, sparking user backlash. Some countries are experiencing hikes between 30% and 50% 1 month ago:
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.

- Comment on Traveling this summer? Maybe don’t let the airport scan your face. 3 months ago:
Yeah I have pre because I have had global entry for a while (8 years now I think). Got clear because where I am, it changes wait time from 30 minutes to 5.

I went thru naturalization process. They have everything already. Including DNA, retina scan, etc. So I opted for Clear. Global Entry as well. They have it all already. May as well fast track going thru customs.

It’s always been a thing. And it makes sense. If there is a problem within a tin can 30k+ feet in the air, we are all in it together.

I stole this. And I went hiking after I posted. And now it’s got so many approval arrows. I’m famous!

Aa shitposting, this is hilarious. Given some comments though… It’s funny. People think this is a new thing. It’s just more in your face due to ubiquitous network we live in today. It has always been thus. Or did you think kinks just started after the Internet?
