Not devs.
One possibility seems to be: your manager and the boss had some issues recently. The boss is unhappy with your manager, something has been brewing between them. Your project may or may not be directly related to this tension.
The boss wanted to put some pressure on your manager, but your manager dodged the meeting. This may have added to the bosses frustration and he kinda vented on you in the heat of the moment.

It’s possible that there is objectively nothing wrong with your performance, but situation like this can still happen.

Your bosses behavior may be the way they operate to influence others or it may be a one time loss of nerves.
One might want to pay attention if the boat had a leak...

I do apologize if you took that as fear mongering, I have a nephew in a similar situation as you and we are keeping an eye on him just in case anything does come up, not that we expect anything will.
As somebody who sits upon the autistic scale, I personally have a deep rooted ethic of fairness, even if it means I yield an advantage, I'm just as uncomfortable being unfairly treated as I am being over fairly treated and to empathize I just look at the others position as if that was mine and how would I feel about that, at least that is how I empathize.

Also tend towards common sense slanted bluntness over diplomatic word dancing more than not and with that, Greta Thunberg does some good examples of that.

One finally aspect, my thinking is more wider in scope still as a child and with that, will happily ask that awkward question and equally see things from a perspective others tend to overlook.

Great post, it is the kind of things you wish you read 10 years ago. Most negative comments I read here are basically reformulating Talion law. That's not how you make things better around you. You should behave as an employee like the employee you wish was working for you.

Two weeks is not enough to hand off your work and allow a company/team to prepare.

If your managers are asshole, then maybe you cannot change your environment by voicing concerns, and risk being fired. But if you made up your mind and know you're leaving, by giving 2 months notice you can make sure not to leave your team in a bad state

If arguments based on core-values do not sway you, doing the right thing is also the way to get good recommendations and opportunities in the future.
>> Amazon stock represents ownership of a company

So? It doesn't pay a dividend. The only way people have made money off of that over the last 14 years is to sell the stock to someone willing to pay more for it than they did. Well I guess you could loan it to a short seller, but for the most part, it has just been a purely speculative asset, same as crypto.

>> gold has both utility and intric beauty

Crypto has utility as well, as the parent post pointed out. Many people suspect that for both gold and crypto, their utility value is tiny compared to their speculative value.

A few others have said it but I'll repeat: talk to your manager about this.

One of a manager's many responsibilities is to be a "shit umbrella". This means taking the often direct, often unfiltered (often ill-informed and ill-considered) feedback of higher-ups and filtering down to only what you need to hear to actually help you do your job. And conversely, when these opinions are shared, another responsibility is to "manage up" and guide or reset expectations, filling in gaps.

When the umbrella is absent, we all get drenched. It happens to everyone at some point.

One reason this experience was so shocking is because it came entirely out of the blue. That was probably by design of your manager - they didn't share these concerns about your project because you don't need to hear them right now. Your manager knows the project is overdue, your manager knows they need you working on other things ASAP. And your manager also knows you, your strengths, and some areas that can be improved. And your manager is... managing all those variables.

These aren't things you should have to worry about at this stage of your career. And chances are, what the higher-level boss says about your current project has little correlation to your security at the company. It's just brutally unfiltered (and unhelpful) feedback about the project. The only person with enough context to have that conversation is likely your manager.

Talk to your manager about the conversation you got stuck in and your concerns. You'll feel a lot better after.
I am the sole programmer and support for a very large companies production system. The company has flagged the problem and has tried to re-write the system for several years but have never managed to retain a coherent programming team long enough to see the project through nor found a suitable replacement in the market.

Luckily for them I am a contractor not an employee but there are definitely grey areas.
I don’t know why people are so obsessed with “Bitcoin’s utility.” So many things in our life have little utility other than being pleasurable. Many people get on planes to go on vacation purely because it feels good to get away. They don’t ask themselves “what utility does my vacation have?” Even if Bitcoin was just a speculation market, that would still be a considerable amount of enjoyment for people. Many people love to gamble after all. And of course, we know Bitcoin can be used as a store of value, used to transfer value quickly across the globe, and used to implement smart contracts.

You are correct for people who can skim a few pages of information, identify what is relevant (possibly spread out across several chunks), and synthesize the information into what they need. For most people on HN, this is as natural as breathing air. For a significant portion of the entire population, this is a pretty daunting task. If you're the kind of person who, like me, is frustrated that everything is a twenty-minute Youtube video tutorial instead of five paragraphs of text, then you may not fully understand the median user of many services.
Rails 7.0.1 has been released, bringing support to Ruby 3.1
This might sound strange but I'm autistic and first time I really noticed something was "wrong" was when I started school, met new people and noticed that all the adults and children think in a really different way - in my mind they couldn't explain their actions or thoughts logically, and it made no sense to me why they were fine with it. Why were they happy to have a conversation where I found a gaping hole in their logic and.. just go on with their lives without exploring it further? I always had a meltdown if I was asked to do something that could not be logically explained to me, and questioned my parents and peers for day or weeks if I learned some things about the world that nobody could completely explain. It felt like I was accidentally born on wrong planet with different species with completely different thought processes that I couldn't understand.

This is a very long article, and nowhere in it do I see how this guy supported himself after quitting his engineering job. He talks about a few vague references to situations that may be freelance paid gigs, but no specifics.
Generally, it's not reasonable to have your first round of feedback on your first project at your first job straight out of college come from your skip-level manager. Frankly, that strikes me as fucking insane.

This post isn't enough for anybody to judge your work or your qualities as an employee, but taken at face value it raises major red flags for me. I would ask your direct manager, directly, how she feels you are measuring up to her expectations so far, and what her expectations are going forward wrt. the issues she and your skip-level manager raised.

Don't let them gaslight you. Without experience, you are an easy target to take advantage of. Advocate for yourself, believe in yourself, and if you truly think your employer is being unreasonable then walk away and find something better.

I can't speak for ART one way or the other as a technology, but this is a good time to remember that there's no particular reason to believe that a good model for training a machine learning system will map analogously to how human brains actually function.

For all we know, there are multiple ways to converge to a trainable input recognition system. And if ART is bringing comprehensibility to the table, it may look even less like what actual brains do than modern deep learning algorithms; nothing about what I know regarding how brains operate suggests to me that they are comprehensible as anything other than "a pattern that works."
Solarpunk is truly the art movement the world needs desperately right now.
That's amazing! The forgefriends community (previously fedeproxy) is doing a tremendous job to push for federated forging and break the Github monopoly. Shameless plug for a lengthy read on why that's an important issue: https://staticadventures.netlib.re/blog/decentralized-forge/

Deep learning is very good at certain problems, much better (in some sense, particularly the ability to generalize with less fine tuning and feature engineering) than methods that came before it. It had undeniably opened up tons of new research applications, but has of course fallen short of the hype around it. I'm still very bullish on the post-hype potential of deep learning for solving real problems, it just requires a much clearer understanding of what it does and doesn't do, and adapting solutions to work within it's constraints.

All that to say, it's easy to find flaws with it, but it has been game changing. I'm naturally skeptical about someone who has just published a book on something hes been working on for 50 years that he believes is "better" than the current (admittedly fad) technology. I'd like to see some real examples about the specific kinds of problems his tech solves, and how it solves them better than other methods. If he's saying it's better than deep learning on things deep learning is good at (e.g. can it beat a neural network model at classifying imagenet?) then I call BS absent a compelling demo. If it's better at some other thing, let's hear what that is.
>. It starts with the state trying to be socialist and then "withering away" to full on communism

This is too simplified to mean anything. The USSR had many socialist branches, where the bolsheviks ultimately won out in a power struggle. The bolsheviks wanted state control, the citizen working for the state, while others were into having actual soviets where the citizens would've taken control of their means of production. Having a parliament and democracy was important to many of these groups (and the liberals who were also politically active).
I wouldn't recommend a dictatorship, regardless if it has "of the proletariat" as a suffix.
I work quite a bit with numbering/naming systems for the oil & gas industry where I live; generally speaking there isn't a single system when things live for so long, but rather multiple systems, with each trying to fix issues with the previous one.

This is especially valid if you try to add any kind of logic or embed information in the naming conventions, as you'll quickly find out that the number series you allocated five years ago has proven to be too small.

And you can forget about scrapping everything and just creating a new system from scratch; all the documentation and drawings already point to the existing numbers, so the new system can't use an existing number but you have to map whatever you have to the new system... not unlike this[0] xkcd. And this is assuming that you've got loads of money to spend, and nobody cares how you spend it.

right, but having done this in a previous role, over a decade ago, for legit non state level reasons, it requires custom hardware to even start the conversation.
Pre-Godwinning the discussion doesn't raise discourse, it dumbs it down. Yes that's the history of the term but it was also the accepted term until after its removal from the DSM in 2013, and not everyone that grew up with that term is as plugged in as you and gotten the memo to moved over to the new term yet. It's fine to be angry at neurotypical people who use it as a slur, but you won't win many converts attacking people who aren't, especially using an anecdote about how you don't use the word as supporting evidence. Btw, the plural of anecdote is not anecdata which is not data.
Damn! Good find :-)
This reminded me of reading The Goal.

Or I can stop working on this domain and go try to find some means to spend my time that will actually adequately support me.

The problem with that is that I appear to be talented, which is why these immoral, abusive rat bastards keep stealing from me. Without my ideas, these losers got no game.

And that means the town I live in is worse off and letting the town I live in be worse off makes me worse off.

Regardless of your callous disregard for the stated problem that I need to somehow eat, some problems are actually hard to solve and this has proven to be one of them for me.

I'm apparently good at some things, good enough that other people will jump on stealing from me.

I'm not so talented at monetization and the world is filled with horrible people who feel zero qualms about benefiting at my expense while going "Not my problem that this person whose work I'm stealing is poor and going hungry."

I actually need to find a means to survive and thrive here and stop helping horrible, horrible people for free. But the problem space in question is such that a "Fuck you, got mine" attitude isn't a clear win or ready solution.

It would be nice if other people had morals and a conscience. Sadly, that appears to rarely be the case.
> Copying other work? Amazing. [...] Solving issue without using latest tech that I just learnt? Incredible.

The business goal is usually to have a new product, feature, a/b test deployed to make money/validate an idea. If there's code ready for that, it's not a great idea to write it again.

Also, _latest tech_ is only meaningful for the devs, and usually not even helpful, since the shine new things might have new problems that you (and other people) still don't know and will have a rough time trying to find a solution to.

What if the 2nd thread also needed the same ALU? What if the threads require synchronization and instructions cant be reordered? In both cases you would get no performance gain. Were talking about the same thing though which is effectively using parts of a core more efficiently when possible.
I'm going to have to cop to this. I was desperate and needed a way to get my phone calls up and running. I have many employees that rely on me to feed their families. We employ a lot of refugees with large families and if I don't run my business right, they can't feed their families. This isn't a game.

I posted to HackerNews because I suspected my issue would be seen and taken seriously if I did that. I could tell the ticketing system people were overlooked and only looking at my issue in a very shallow way.

If this had not worked, I would have started using my Stack-overflow account then Reddit. If that didn't work, I found an address of a lady how works for Twilio nearby, I was going to go knock on her door and see if she could put me in touch with someone.

Luckily I was able to get the problem resolved without those additional steps.

I would like to point out that Twilio's ticketing system works well for complex problems that are not time-sensitive. I had an issue a few months back that I think was probably quite complicated involving bureaucracy and multiple carriers and it was resolved in a few days via their ticketing system which was very cool.
Unfun fact: the rabies immune globulin shots are by far the most painful shot I've ever experienced and being the size that I am, I received what I think was 7 of them in quick succession.

I also got the 4-shot vaccine series, which felt like any other vaccine (basically painless), but the RIG was like having liquid fire injected into my Forrest Gump region.

> I really did work hard

First of all, this doesn’t really matter too much. You mentioned it a couple of times, so I wanted to respond to that point. If you can slack off and still get your work done, that is better than working hard but not achieving your goals.

That being said, I think it is unfair to criticize an inexperienced dev too much over things like design decisions or not knowing to look at how other projects have done something.

If anything, the rest of your team deserves blame for not providing adequate guidance and assistance along the way.

Do you not use some kind of agile process? This would bring problems to light much more quickly and give you many opportunities to communicate the status of your progress along the way, so hopefully you can avoid the “this project should have been done a long time ago” meeting.
I will preface my comment by saying I'm a little later in my career, and consider myself a little more cynical than average. The following is only useful in the company of other comments to offer a more balanced perspective...

I would have found it entirely unacceptable, and my notice would have been on the table within the hour. I've handed in my notice for less.

That kind of behaviour from leadership/management is terrible. Depending on the type of person, it can plant a seed of resentment and disillusionment that will make them hate the work, or create/worsen confidence issues. Employees are people. Of course, some people will shrug it off or perhaps even use it as motivation to get better who knows.

I would also be suspicious of the manager who ducked out the meeting.

The fact that you're on HN posting about this shows that it has already had a negative impact on you. You should be enjoying your time off, but you're just thinking about work.

How should you proceed? Depends on the type of person you are, and your ambitions in your career. Both those will change throughout the years to come. My advice - just do the job, enjoy yourself, get paid, and apply for the next role whenever you feel like it. You will not be on your deathbed wishing you'd gotten to the bottom of this incident.
Everything is transitory and impermanent and nature needs a garbage collector.

I'd be surprised if people didn't have some sort of instinct to die under the right circumstances just like they have an instinct to procreate under the right circumstances.

In fact I'm positive of it because people kill themselves sometimes. What a strange phenomenon that is if you think about it. I've never understood it and can't imagine wanting to end my own life but apparently the tendency exists given the right set of circumstances.

There have been independent studies showing their numbers are, while not perfectly accurate, within the margin of error for extrapolated excess mortality[0].

As I've said in other threads on this issue, it is very difficult to hide deaths on even a small scale. Bodies do not simply disappear, and even small numbers of deaths are easily discoverable by measuring economic output (and even air quality!) of the region.

China is being at least reletively honest in their reporting, and I think thats difficult for us westerners to believe because their numbers are so shockingly low. An effective containment strategy _is_ possible, and the west has utterly failed in that respect.

Many years ago at a company somewhere, I was forming a new engineering team - recruiting is job 1 at this point and time. We had a new-ish grad come in and interview.

I conducted a behavioral interview with questions that were pre-determined. I thought their answers were pretty bad and felt the 1 hour interview didn't tell me much of what I was looking for. I ended up scoring them pretty low and being over-ridden by my manager as they liked this person.

Turned out that this person got hired and became one of the folks on the team I most liked, respected and got along with. At the same time, their work output had high quality and they were driven.

Lesson: you can't have a confidence of 100% from a 1 hour interview (negative or positive)

My solution is now to have a characterize their performance using a confidence interval. It makes choosing the score much harder, but results in really thinking about grading the candidate in a clearer way.
