About HashHishBang

SET masquerading as a Performance Engineer.

    Agreed. I don't know what they did but having to consistently re-categorize rent payments from whatever nonsense they were auto-categorized as killed it. Automation is great when i…

    Thankfully things can be factually accurate and still misleading. Kids mow lawns for a trivial cost when compared to professional landscapers. As such rampant child labor is underc…

    This isn't just unpopular, it's ignorantly wrong. I've done blue collar work and CS work. Also the whole romanticizing of busting one's ass pisses me off to no end. > IMO blue coll…

    I may be off base here but this sounds an awful lot like perfect being the enemy of the good. Or, framed another way, idealism being the enemy of the pragmatic. Waxing poetic about…

    Considering the sheer volume of mobile devices in asia, and China in particular, this wouldn't surprise me. However, I was under the impression that "5g" doesn't actually mean anyt…

    People like you are the reason people like me are QA/SETs. Your velocity, in my view, is some slapdash worked-15-hour-days-because-they-thought-they-could nonsense that is more lik…

    I currently live in Utah which, for those who don't know, is predominately of Mormon faith. While those rates aren't published for some pretty clear reasons the overwhelming majori…
