I remember on launch it was a fucking miracle if the PC version could get past the intro screen. The fact that it’s remotely stable now is a bloody miracle.

Wasn’t trying to imply it wasn’t. My bad.

Glad I’m not the only one that thought this was an AI comic.

EDIT: and had that thought confirmed.

But I like HDR support…

All day every day.

The poor kids can’t even afford coal and fall through the cracks.

Non-engineering roles I think.

IIRC levels correspond to all employees across the company.

Yeah it’s weird and I don’t get it either.

Yeah this was my experience when I worked there. Driving goals and doing good work isn’t enough. You need a fancy project to demonstrate “expanded scope” otherwise your promo would get rejected.

Sometimes things worked the way you wanted and people got promoted doing their normal job. A lot of times though there were a lot of fancy projects built to get people promos that suckers got stuck with the bill on.

This ain’t a case of one dude scamming the system as much as it is institutional rot from red tape.

At Amazon you have the following levels

L4 - Junior. A new grad. Expected to be promoted within 2 years or let go

L5 - Mid engineer. Very wide band. Encapsulates anything between a level 2 engineer and a team lead at other companies. Can be expected to lead individual teams at times. Is considered a “terminal” position (there’s no expectation of a promotion past here)

L6 - Senior. Has the scope of what a Staff engineer would at other companies where you’re not only concerned with your team but others in the department. I think like 10% of engineers ever hit L6

L7 - Principal Engineer. You have like 1-2 of these per department. These are more like architects at other companies. About 1-2% of engineers ever hit this band.

L8 and beyond are for fancy hires and shit. Very few if anyone ever works their way up to those bands.

Maybe he want to write damn login page himself.

Not the terminal demon!!

Fair. Backup was a bad term here.

Do you use fingerprinting instead? Or what’s the mechanism you use?

My favorite was an abstract class that called 3 levels in to other classes that then called another implementation of said abstract class.

And people wonder why no one on our team ever got shit done.

More like C Level people that force devs to make this crap

Sorry can’t hear you as AI brrs over hiring applications and performance reviews

They are all various AWS services

You’re joking but yes this does actually happen lol

Also requires AWS to do the same thing which they sometimes don’t …

Is the goal to make branch commands that match a specific song? That’s be fun.
