Shouldn’t it be furrier transfem?

Precisely why they would like big booty latinas.

And the jecket!

I believe you mean thawb. A fraud is a term for a deep geological formation filled with water, in Scandinavia.

No, that’s frog. Fraud is the opposite of frozen.

You are. You’re going to SPACE.

The word is “Shylock”, just to save you a click.

I had no idea that was a slur, but it makes sense I guess.

A Dell. The shame.

That’s amazing lettering.
How have they done that? Brush markers?

Time has flown. Clearly I joined a bit later. But surely cake day soon.

A lot of what you’re saying is spot on and I respect your experience in this and the other comment.

I don’t hire for fun though. I hire for a diversity of perspectives, integrity and authenticity. We teach people how to constructively challenge and go after problems or objectives that may have no off the shelf solution (if they do, we may acquire it).

The problems are usually P&L quantified and prioritised before they get to us - we only have to do that legwork if it’s something we’ve generated.

It does feel like a playground to a degree and I do love the work - perhaps yes it’s less ‘professional’ and structured. We do have experienced devs and architects who I would hope aren’t reproducing problems - but it’s often our job to find a technical solution (if appropriate) to a problem, not to ‘productionise’ it or maintain it. This involves a handoff to others in the business and they ultimately determine how it is rolled out.

I get that this isn’t typical of the market and thanks for your response / take on this. One thing we have to be careful of is being ‘institutionalised’ and that will come across as naive, perhaps it is, but that has been a help.

R&D, software and embedded systems. Small team, hugely collaborative by its nature and sometimes find ourselves faced with problems / puzzles with no apparent solution or precedent. Hugely rewarding when we can crack them.

I do genuinely feel for other respondents who seem to be bitter or cynical - despite the banter.

Wow. What’s happened to you to make you so cynical?
