I don't know if it was nostalgia, or the story, or the gameplay... But, man, I miss that game.

That being said, don't discount your expertise in your lived experience. The importance of theoretical and experiential expertise is equal in my eyes.

Maybe not directly correlated, but I would hire someone with 10 years experience over someone who studied the subject for 10 years.

Any tips you can give for someone who is running k8s on rpi4s and wants to switch architectures? Sounds like you did something similar and while my rpis are holding strong, I want something with a little more power like a few N100 based micro pcs.

I've been really happy with the U-tec U-bolt zwave locks. Strong locks and never had an issue with connectivity.

Employed lemmings, how did you get hired? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

This was a while ago. My college didn't have a CS major (small liberal arts college) so they brought in an adjunct professor who was a Director of IT of a small market research firm. After 4 semesters as his student, he offered me a job my senior year. Longest interview ever.

That was over 20 years ago.

My current job (big tech) was from my friend who I worked with coming up to me and saying "A recruiter from [company] is calling you tomorrow. I gave them your name." Never in a million years did I think I was at that caliber, but I went through it anyway because the worst they could say is "no".

They said "yes".

You'll miss the sun in the winter. It gets real rough around Feb. But the summers here... The summers are the best.
