jrwrenoh... :(  that sucks.13:19
rick_hyea, was nice to get to walk the boy to school this morning13:19
jrwrenoh nice!13:21
brousch__I should try that. We're about 1/4 mile as the crow flies, but 3/4 to 3 miles depending on how flooded the swamp is13:39
rick_hheh, yea. It's a little under a mile each way. So makes for a couple of good 20min walks there/back I try to get away from the computer when I can13:53
rick_hand if we can ride bikes it's fast13:53
cmaloneynice13:53
rick_hok wow, now I wish I hadn't watched that united fiasco video...14:38
brousch__eh?14:39
rick_htwitter is alight with condemnation for the united removal of a passenger from the plane they overbooked.14:40
rick_hhttps://twitter.com/JayseDavid/status/851223662976004096 is the latest version to come across my feed14:40
brousch__Wow14:44
brousch__I would be so pissed if I missed a flight because it was overbooked14:44
rick_hwell there's that but this is they let you on the plane, sit into a seat, and then dragged you off?14:45
cmaloneySeriously, that's some shit14:45
cmaloneyAnd they wonder why people don't want to fly anymore14:45
cmaloneyThere's the "We fucked up, here's a voucher" approach14:47
cmaloneyand there's the "We're assholes" approach14:47
rick_hnot to be all "thank goodness *I* fly Delta" but https://www.forbes.com/sites/laurabegleybloom/2017/04/09/why-delta-air-lines-paid-me-11000-not-to-fly-to-florida-this-weekend/#7fb60a714de114:48
cmaloneyYeah, I'm glad my last flight was on Delta.14:49
ZimdaleI dunno, our CEO was stuck in LAX for 3+ days this weekend because Delta's clusterfuck. He had to just go buy a ticket for a different airline.14:50
ZimdaleGot there thursday and ended up flying out through soutwest sunday14:50
Zimdalesouthwest*14:50
cmaloneyWow14:50
cmaloneyThat's awful14:50
Zimdale#allAirlinesSuck :(14:50
cmaloneyI think today is trying to killme14:52
cmaloneySitting in the cafe over at Macomb14:52
cmaloneyand between the service dog and Axe body spray I'm going to asphyxiate14:52
brousch__So the dog is strangling you because you are wearing Axe?14:54
cmaloneyThat took some effort to misread didn't it? :)14:54
brousch__Yes15:06
cmaloneyCompany that I applied to is apparently asking for 5+ years of NodeJS experience.15:55
cmaloneygood luck with that.15:55
ZimdaleWe have a guy apply that claimed he had 11 years of Angular15:56
cmaloneyIs there another tech called "Angular" that isn't AngularJs?15:57
Zimdalenot that I know of15:59
ZimdaleHe hardly spoke english so I am pretty sure the recruiter was just an ass15:59
cmaloneyUgh. That sucks.16:01
ZimdaleRecruiter also told us he had 9/10 communication skills and we could hardly understand eachother with almost no comprehension16:01
ZimdaleI think they fired that recruiter after that though16:01
cmaloneyI feel bad for the dude. I wonder if he was coached into this position.16:02
Zimdaleyeah16:02
ZimdaleWe had that a lot too with recruiters pushing jrs into sr interviews and stuff16:02
Zimdalewas just uncomfortable for everyone16:02
cmaloneyYeah, no joke16:03
ZimdaleIt's kind of difficult because if they were good enough to be able to accurately judge people they wouldn't be recruiters because they'd make more as devs16:08
cmaloneyor as dev managers16:08
ZimdaleThat's why I always prefer internal recruiters16:10
ZimdaleIt's less playing the numbers game and they can usually test for culture16:11
