interviewing w/ Jane Street fuuuuck me right up
<ec>
and job search is going remarkably poorly — in addition to jane st stress, i got turned down by not just my best most realistic option, but also my *reliable-backup* to my realistic option, this week
<ec>
i have. literally nothing on the table.
<jfhbrook>
anyway new york is 5 boroughs: manhattan, which is an island, that starts downtown in the financial district (wall street), goes through lower manhattan - soho, the village, chelsea etc then midtown - like the really big buildings (other than WTC1 which is in downtown), then central park and the upper west side (seinfeld) and the upper east side (girls)
<ec>
hahahah except jstrt who’re gonna literally laugh at me
<jfhbrook>
then harlem, then the bronx which I don't know that well but is supposta be chill
<jfhbrook>
yeah it's really hot in new york too
<ec>
oh wall street is a literal new york thing
<jfhbrook>
yeah it's a literal street
<ec>
i always thought it was like, ivy league
<ec>
slang
<jfhbrook>
nah it's a street in downtown where the new york stock exchange is based
<ec>
“all these companies with tall walls” or something
<ec>
whadda Wall Street people say on the 9th of june
<ec>
“nyse.”
<jfhbrook>
brooklyn is like, so on the west side of manhattan is the hudson river and jersey across from it, but the east side has a tidal straight ("the east river", the one they always find bodies in in law and order) and on the other side of *that* is brooklyn and queens
<ec>
hahah i’m funny
<jfhbrook>
brooklyn is kinda a city in its own right, queens is traditionally more suburban, but it's all a city at this point
<jfhbrook>
anyway - I live in central brookyn (near where biggie smalls grew up actually) and the interview is near canal street in lower manhattan, a good 40m away when my foot is in good condition)
<ec>
where’re the weirdos and queers
<ec>
that’s the only good part of any city
<jfhbrook>
traditionally the village - that's where stonewall is
<jfhbrook>
but I hear these days hell's kitchen
<ec>
holy shit i thought stonewall was a seattle thing
<ec>
for … some reason …
<jfhbrook>
nah new york city
<jfhbrook>
the hipsters were in williamsburg 7 years ago but that place got really expensive real fast
<jfhbrook>
bushwich in brookyn is quiet but also chill and fun, a lot of socialist bars are out there
<jfhbrook>
I live near-ish to prospect heights which has a really chill not-quite-gay bar that I go to a lot
<ec>
NQGbar lolol
<jfhbrook>
yeah they're super LGBT friendly, have a rainbow flag out front, but really it's just a bar with a vague western theme and decent eats
<jfhbrook>
I like their weekend bloody mary bar
<jfhbrook>
they give you a glass with ice and vodka and you pour yourself some base mix and spoon up your own fixins
<jfhbrook>
I dumped in a huge spoonful of horseradish last time iirc
<ec>
cannot fathom bloody marys
<jfhbrook>
so good
<ec>
what kinda code you do jfhbrook?
<jfhbrook>
data engineering in python for my day job
<ec>
i’m vaguely surprised to hear you’re applying at 2sig
<ec>
ah that’s right data stuff
<jfhbrook>
but I'm working on linux desktop software in python right now
<jfhbrook>
yeah my new job is w/ squarespace
<ec>
some reason I thought frontend webby stuff
<jfhbrook>
they're very kind folks and the offer was imo fantastic
<ec>
wait you already got an offer?
<jfhbrook>
appreciated base pay bump, fantastic insurance, unlimited pto, some RSUs
<jfhbrook>
yeah
<jfhbrook>
that's why this is so fucked
<jfhbrook>
I don't actually want the job
<ec>
i’m so confused
<jfhbrook>
I just want to know if they would give me the job
<ec>
you’re going in for another in-person after you got an offer?
<jfhbrook>
yeah
<jfhbrook>
a last one just to see
<jfhbrook>
because it's been really weird so far
<jfhbrook>
and I want to know if I'm good enough
<jfhbrook>
but I don't want the job
<ec>
o_o
<jfhbrook>
like is that bad/wrong?
<ec>
you’ve got your degree, right?
<ec>
ooc?
<jfhbrook>
not a CS degree
<jfhbrook>
oh and wrt you asking about web shit earlier - I used to do backends in nodejs, made a shift about 3 years ago
<ec>
ugh *how*
<jfhbrook>
luck honestly
<ec>
being socially associated with web, and not having a degree, is currently feeling like a fucking one-two death superpunch
<jfhbrook>
I was trying to pull the escape hatch on my gig at conde, things got real toxic real fast
<jfhbrook>
oh I have a STEM degree
<jfhbrook>
so it's like worth 3/4 of a CS degree
<ec>
yah i gathered haha
<jfhbrook>
but yeah, the VP at the company that last hired me knew me from Conde and offered me a few low key gigs, one was building out an analytics product
<jfhbrook>
I kinda knew python from college and it sounded like a pleasant change
<jfhbrook>
and it was, a few early road bumps aside
<ec>
aww that’s cool
<jfhbrook>
yeah and now I'm on a proper data team
<jfhbrook>
something like 7 data engineers
<ec>
ugh
<ec>
dunno if i talked about it in here
<ec>
or if you heard it thru emily
<ec>
but codeverse was a _shitshow_ for me
<jfhbrook>
what's codeverse
<jfhbrook>
I haven't talked to emily in almost 2 years
<ec>
holy crap really
<ec>
and wow yeah i really don’t talk in here do I
<ec>
my one and only engineering position. got hired to build them a language, thought it was my dream job. went really poorly.
<ec>
its super-sad that you’re missing out on Emily though :P
<ec>
you game at all? wanna play with us sometime?
<jfhbrook>
emily needs to apologize to me for accusing me of having a mental break on a public forum
<jfhbrook>
if I hear that, maybe
<jfhbrook>
what do you play?
<ec>
oh god yikes
<ec>
welp sorry i got in the middle of that O_O
<ec>
recently and multiplayer? EVE, Minecraft, and i’ve dragged a couple of friends into an ancient janky game named Project Zomboid
<ec>
it’s basically a less-cute, more-janky version of Don’t Starve. survival mechanics with lots of building and cooking, but overall a roguelike that *will* kill you, no matter how much preparation you do or how careful you are
<jfhbrook>
oh interesting
<ec>
aaaaaaand i’m trying to get people into Satisfactory
<jfhbrook>
I never played don't starve oddly enough
<jfhbrook>
oh jesus a friend has satisfactory
<ec>
but everyone’s turned off by the Epic Games Store lmao
<jfhbrook>
ahaha
<jfhbrook>
I hear that if you have a game with them you have to disavow all non-windows support
<jfhbrook>
but the software itself is ok
<jfhbrook>
I bought subnautica off it
<ec>
i … don’t know? satisfactory is deffo windows-only so that’s gross
<jfhbrook>
wait no they had subnautica for free on it
