Yeah there’s a thousand vice presidents at my location that make 160k which in TX is a high wage. they don’t have high productivity compared to a real tech company. it’s all manual bureaucratic work.

they haven’t adopted silicon valley style hiring practices so a good resume is all that matters. interviews are a 10m HR screen and a 45 minutes interview by a hiring manager that hasn’t been in the ditches in 10 years. All my coworkers came from a staffing agency like Infosys or Accenture. Contract to hire. I think their resumes were all fake.

well my team builds the software to please regulators so all the original specs were signed off by legal and regulators. the next generation of each project simply fork lifts that data and massages the logic until it matches up

i work for a bank. my coworkers are mostly not very competent. also sometimes when we move to a new system we don’t get the actual business logic. we just reverse engineer it from the data. the people who knew how it worked were laid off a long time ago

There's plenty of local property management companies that handle short term rentals. At least in tourist locations. We've been renting full houses for large groups since before the Internet..

I was super careful with my phone and always minimized brightness and I still got burn in after 18 months. Even my plasma tv is going strong 10 years with no issues.

don’t see how they can solve burn in unless they come up with something really innovative like shifting a 30” image around a 31” screen

They have a huge transmission line across Texas for Wind Power. I’ve heard sometimes electricity prices go negative at night due to excess wind power. There are actually tons of free nights electricity plans to match.

there’s 200,000 employees so maybe they use it to help them make broad decisions about how different areas are doing.
