How the pest, stagnate like the rest.
With AI automation and computer driven thermostats, it’s now possible to obtain genuine HVAC performance data personalized to your specific habits and costs.
WTF is the point of a Do Not Call registry if I’m going to get unsolicited calls every goddamned day?
In case you’re wondering what to do, the two major players in payroll services, Paychex and ADP both suck. One is worse but they both use developers that never use the product so don’t understand UX and so, suck. Go make a third. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SOMEONE GO DO THIS!
One of the stories you won’t hear right now that echoes the mass layoffs is how Big Companies cut management practices over decades lowering quality while hiring cogs instead of capables. It helped short term profitability, made personnel actions much simpler, enabled a militant HR, and paved the way for incompetence and corruption. So you get what we have here.
Here's a fun rat hole of a job posting. It's on a shadow posting site, not a job board, the name of the company (maybe?) is in the listing, so it's an AI/script scrape of an actual posting. The link to apply takes you to victorytuitions dot india and there I let it run cold because I'm not clicking that. wfhsprint.2q.unaux.com/job/c…

“COBOL is still deeply load-bearing in banking, especially at the core: account ledgers, overnight batch processing, and card/ATM authorization. The widely cited estimates are that roughly 43% of banking systems and 95% of ATM swipes run on COBOL code, and that around 80% of in-person banking transactions pass through it.”
Indeed. There are some that think this is the plan.
I miss the days of @NASCAR drivers that went hard and partied. @ClintBowyer was the last of the greats. I get the image management and competitive advantage but it’s boring.
At what point does Wall Street wake up and see these global brands taking body blows due to mismanagement and decided to start demanding accountability?
If you build your grokbots to have a command structure, like the Federation (I'm fond of the Enterprise crew with some modifications) you can have a single bot over there on the left that's in charge that you interact with who has an entire support crew. I specifically don't use Kirk as a foundation for my ship's captain, but I do use all the other bridge crew, sorted into colors, and let me tell you, Scotty has come up with some wild ideas. :-)
