What are you proud of this year? I don’t wanna hear i ran 3 marathons.

I want to hear the crazy awards stuff like…I drove the same road 438 times and exclusively listened to Fleetwood Mac.

Common share your special skill or unique achievement this year.

    Good for you. IMO, nobody’s allowed to hate on this, if they haven’t declined a life changing buy out offer themself.

      I got multiple offers from big corpos and the death industry itself. Lockheed Martin wanted to pay me a high triple digit yearly salary, pay for my moving costs etc. I turned them down because I have actual morals.

        I mean, Salesforce is clearly different than Lockheed Martin, even if they do business with all sorts of companies (many of whom I wouldn’t personally want to be in business with).

        I’ve specifically found b2b software at least a bit less creepy and invasive - I’ve done applied ML for many many years and prefer enterprise b2b vs consumer tech because of this.

        Rock solid morals for triple digit, seven figures and people are likely to start to try to justify what they are being asked to do.

        My husband’s company (where he works, not owns) is giving bids for an AI facility. They’ve been told that they can set any price if they can produce on time. As we near retirement the likely bonus from this project would be great but it makes me sad.
