Depends on the role. Certs are basically just a marginal improvement with some but not all companies automated screening of your resume.
I do lots of interviews and could not care less about certs. They are not a reliable indicator of capability or talent.
Yes.
I love mine. I live in Kansas and that shapes some of my needs differently than most of the audience here, but have a Ford Lightning and it’s great.
I had to install a charger in my garage and unless you have a lot of public fast chargers near you then you’ll need that.
I’ve driven long distances with it and most of the Love’s truck stops have dc fast chargers which worked perfect on the interstate.
Weather, speed, and payload are the biggest factors for range for me. The only time any were a real problem is when the temp was near zero, but I could mitigate the severe range loss some by letting it warm up for an hour or so before I departed, which can be controlled in the app.
And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren’t troll farm accounts - the “various compliance requirements” are not just a US thing.
If you haven’t heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. And by “news”, I don’t mean Russian state-sponsored spam.
While he certainly wasn’t sensitive about how he said it, he did state is was sanctions related.
All it takes is reading the article to see why it was done. You clearly did not do that and instead inserted your own agenda.
I have the jetbrains toolbox on like 4 of my machines at this point and three are personal and one is work. It’s a great experience but I pay for it personally because I value it.
I know some people who have their work pay for it. I pay for the all products pack and it decreases in cost each year until a certain point. Not sure if I’m on some extra discount or whatnot but I only pay $18/mo and it’s easily worth it.
I play on Switch and Pc, different games on each. The attraction to games on the switch for me isn’t graphics or power or performance… at all…
It’s gameplay and form factor.
Hey it sounds like you work with some good people :)
Man I’m sure there is some culture I could have been raised in that would have resulted in me finding that appealing and all…. But I would probably vomit if I drank any of that.
It’s actually got traction in industry where we were already exploring AR for things like using 3d models to enhance maintenance on large facility equipment.
Compared to the value prop of increased reliability and enhanced frontline accessibility of consumable model data its cost is not a barrier and its quality is a MASSIVE step up from the equipment we had.
I’ve heard about it being used in high cost per unit sales experiences too, like jets or whatnot, it haven’t seen that directly.
Idk as a parent and a professional technologist my primary takeaway here was that adversity breeds creativity and learning and your parents attempts to restrict your internet access, coupled with your natural desire to explore things in private, resulted in you probably learning some valuable life skills and behaviors that have likely helped set you up for some level of professional success.
Nice, more please.
A large manufacturing facility I do some work adjacent to recently installed a massive many acres large solar facility to power the plant. Hopefully the experiment goes well and demonstrates an economic advantage that incentivizes others to follow.
That’s a fun idea. Here’s mine.
You’re right about many jobs not being sales, my apologies if I made it sound like my scope of commentary was exclusively oriented to those roles.
Social skills are important more broadly than sales, and I’m mostly talking about how they apply in the organization as someone interacts with other peers.
Yes I agree, you make some really valuable points here that I don’t disagree with. There’s a bit of an art to this and it is certainly not a realistic expectation that someone should be universally capable. Somewhere in that gray space between universally capable and walking hr incident is where we all fall.
Relevant skills for most jobs are both technical and social, I think you’re implying that the decision is often made purely on social skill sets when technical are what matters and I see this differently.
If I’m hiring for an Architect for example, I am expecting them to help grow and guide developers, engineers, analysts, and administrators while collaborating with stakeholders AND possessing relevant domain technical expertise. Only having the domain technical expertise isn’t useful without the social skill set to leverage it.
Similarly if I’m hiring for an engineer, in expecting them to work with other engineers, their architect, their analysts, and their supervisors AND have relevant domain expertise. Again if they only have one half of that they aren’t actually functional.
It does change for entry level roles, and this may be an unpopular take… but for entry level roles I could care less about your technical knowledge… I’m looking for people who are entering this domain and can demonstrate intangibles like initiative, curiosity, and…. social skills. These are much better leading indicators of success as they are harder to teach and train, and frankly if they have those skills I can trust that the senior roles around them will help develop their technical skills.
