going to HR over this seems ridiculous…

do this anyways.

they’re creating drama for themselves and it will suck in more people if they don’t get the validation they’re seeking. either figure out how to give them what they want in a way that works for you (this usually doesn’t work) or do everything in your power to protect yourself.

warning: if management sees them as more valuable than you are; you can expect going to hr to backfire.

do it like my companies does and do both. lol

i think that experiencing all the things & people i care about would be the worst of it.

either that or seeing us repeat history over and over again as a society complete with all of the indifferent cruelties it entails and studying it, but ignoring it anyways

i had a similar thought and i think not trying to treat lemmy like it’s reddit is beneficial here; or at least to me.

it doesn’t to me.

the sheer number of american born spanish speakers alone went past the critical level necessary for the type of full representation that other industries experience decades go, but software engineering is somehow stubbornly not budging so they’re going to IT.

i think that the closest thing there is to representation in software engineering is the over representation of foreign born spanish speakers; but they lack the experience of growing up as a minority in this country and that makes them predisposed to dismiss the difficulties we experience in life as well as trying to get a foothold into this industry like their colleagues do.

i’m addressing the underlying issue behind llm’s and any other sort of ai; the software engineers who create and work on them come from a cultural paradigm only includes a few languages and spanish isn’t one of them.

that results in strange behaviors like the one the article mentions here. other examples like face recognition issues is another manifestation of that paradigm.

i switched instances without bothering to migrate and i’m wondering why you want to migrate anything.

i think this is one of the things that’s going to end up driving away most of the reddit users in the future.

most people came to the lemmyverse because of reddit’s enshitification and are trying to turn lemmy into diet reddit by recreating the things that they liked about reddit; but lemmy was always intended to be political at its core and that core is deeply unpalatable to most of reddit & its refugees so they’ve mostly self sorted into their own instances and doing so has caused further issues for themselves, including rendering most of their communities inactive.

lemmy works for me because i used to be active in reddit’s political subs before the enshitification and that taught me how to tolerate shit takes from misguided tankies and clueless liberals alike and the people who are too rigid in their views to learn will leave.

we came here illegally during a time when immigration was only starting to become politicized as it is now and i’m thankful because i can’t image what i life would be like if we did the same thing now.

i can’t image how fucked up i would be if they took me away from my parents and locked me up. some of these kids have reached adolescence now and can’t remember what their parents look like or think of their custody situation as home.

if they were anything like my parents; they would have preferred to leave me here without them rather than being forced to return to mexico with me in the clueless belief that my life would automatically be better by being in this country.

mistranslations into spanish seemed common everywhere i’ve lived in the last 5 decades; california, new york, new jersey, texas, chicago; and it doesn’t seem to matter that there are plenty of fluent & native spanish speakers in all of those places. this looks like an extension of that to me and i wonder if it’s because of the demographics split in technology.

i’m a software developer now and did IT for 15 years before that and it seemed clear to me that american-born native spanish speakers are rare in software engineering compared to IT. i think that this is the first time that my anecdotal evidence has been confirmed.

somehow foreign-born native spanish speakers have even representation throughout this industry like most everyone else and they outnumber their american cousins by a considerable margin in this country; but they’re mostly unaware of it and my non-hispanic colleagues and the hispanics in IT are likewise mostly unaware. also anecdotally: the they bring an almost republican-esque perspective the few times i’ve been involved in a drive to improve hispanic representation in the field.

Being on the other side of the interviewing table for the last 20ish years and being told that we’re not going to hire people that everyone unanimously loved and we unquestionably needed more times that I want to remember makes me think that blacklists are common.

In all of the cases I’ve experienced in the last decade or so: people who had faang and old silicon on their resumes but couldn’t do basic things like creating an ansible playbook from scratch were either an automatic addition to that list or at least the butt of a joke that pervades the company’s cool aide drinker culture for years afterwards; especially so in recruiting.

Yes they’ll eventually forget and I think it’s proportional to how egregious or how close to home your perceived misrepresentation is to them.

Same here but this one was especially painful since it was the closest match with my experience I’ve ever encountered in 20ish years and now I know that they will never give me the time of day again and; based on my experience in silicon valley; may end up on a thier blacklist permanently.

watch out; i learned the hard way in an interview that i do this so much that i can no longer create terraform & ansible playbooks from scratch.

even a basic api call from scratch was difficult to remember and i’m sure i looked like a hack to them since they treated me as such.

in today’s political landscape: genocide is acceptable and ignorable; progressives are dirty commies that you should ignore at all costs; and being russian is enough to get you kicked out of contributions to FOSS and all this comes from people who call themselves “liberal”.
