Today, it's no longer person of color.

It's "theirsxn of sholor". Please respect this and stop the violation and violence against theirsxns of sholor which is incurred when you use othering phrases.

(not thereson-- because it has the word "son" in it, which is offensive to non-sons. sholor because it's closer to shalom which means peace.)

I go by XatinXox, personally. And I expect people to call me that before I even inform them of what I am called. They should just know.

excuse me, but it's not a post. It's a publicacixxn. Please respect its lived lexiconical truth

I just had a realization:

"Latin" already includes "la" at the beginning of the word-- which is the feminine infinitive. Therefore, LatinA and LatinX are redundant.

Or, perhaps we as arbitors of global culture, should enforce our new inventin:

ElTin and LaTin ...and maybe a LeTin. or LxTin

Actually let's go with all of the above. And any other creations as well. because who cares-- throw in the kitchen sink!

I wonder... what is the difference between an "experience" vs a "lived experience"?

If I have an experience-- such as walking through the park, this afternoon and picking a blackberry... What is a "lived experience" version of that same experience?

Then they need to create small to medium projects-- For example projects that take 1 week to 6 months to create. This can also be projects from CS, IT, statistics, or other technical programming-involved classes.

I'd recommend creating a website with a portfolio of projects.

The portfolio should include a section for each project, summarizing what tech stack you used, the year you finished the project, the name & 1 sentence on the project's purpose.

With a link to the code on github/gitlab, and a link to more in-depth page about the project.

This way you'd have a summary, links to code, and an in-depth page about each project. On the website you might also include info about your professional background, education, & personal interests outside of work.

I have such a website, and it has helped me get hired.

Yep, software developer.

- I do most of my work from library/cafe-- usually 1-2 hours at home, 4-6 hours at cafe/library.

- I don't socialize much-- Occasionally chat with barista to get to know them. Or occasionally with other patrons.

- Nah, I've never had an issue with cafes letting me sit for hours and work-- I always buy coffee and/or food. If I didn't buy anything, I imagine it would eventually piss off the barista/manager/owner a bit. Sometimes I have too much coffee and get drowsy or jittery

- Nah, I don't miss the creature comfort of big desk & 27" screen-- I trade it for the opportunity to get out into social spaces. Otherwise I'd be lonely at home. If I am under pressure to get something done fast, sometimes it's easier at home. Currently my "home" is a studio apartment ($800/month, all bills paid except internet).

I think if I had roommates or lived in a more communal place (Such as housing coop) I'd be more interested in spending more time working from home. But since I am alone there, it feels too lonely.

Wake up at 8. Coffee, possibly oatmeal/toast or other simple breakfast. Daily standup at 9 or 930 depending on the day of the week. Shower. Walk to cafe or drive to library. Start work around 10 or 1030. Lunch break around 1230 or 1. Work until 5pm or so. It's a bit flexible depending on workload.

"No one in this thread knows a damn thing"

Hahahaa. Well, I can't argue with that. I concur.

Have some consistency.

If me questioning someone using the term "BS" = flying off the handle.

Does the original poster using the term "BS" != flying off the handle ...?

"On the other hand, OpenAI moderation doesn't do anything for Kenyans."

Have you worked at OpenAI in Kenya?

Because you're speaking in absolutes-- as though you're an authority on the topic.

Let's use basic logic: Working at a technology company by its nature provides:

- Increased experience with Computers

- Increased experience with Data

- Increased experience with Business Processes

- Increased experience with AI Technology & AI Business

- Increased experience with Potential business ideas for startups due to exposure to the business processes of the company and the potential therein for improvement

- Pay

BS? Based on what experience of yours?

I spoke with a US Civil Engineer who worked in Honduras in the 1980's, clearing paths in forests for electrical transmission lines.

He initially paid workers significantly higher than local wages-- US-level wages.

The result:

--> He was threatened with harm by bosses of local companies.

Why? He took all their workers.

The local companies couldn't compete-- they lost all their labor to his company which paid relatively (relative to Honduras) exorbitant wages.

His US company literally destabilized the local labor economy.

So, I wouldn't be so quick to jump to "that is BS", as in my opinion it exemplifies naivete & ignorance.
