i'm saying that it is all in the service of helping the Israeli government finish their genocide campaign.

Robot cars, too.

They also chime in occasionally on anti Jewish and other racist matters.

So, Musk partially correct? Yuck.

it just kind of seems made up.

like... management leads by relational power, whereas leadership leads by authority power.

what is that?

and these are the terms and categories -- which are words in the English language -- affect these types of deliverable, but if you know English pretty well, that knowledge is going to get in the way of passing this exam -- because we're just arbitrarily making up words and phrases and concepts and lumping them together.

the nomenclature is not completely outlandish, necessarily, but it definitely seems suspect -- from my 15 minutes of review.

i guess i believe that there _is_ a science of project management and that is has valid principles that are actually useful in carrying out serious projects, but.... is this it?

like, _this_ wacky set of arbitrary words and phrases is what guides projects in America and/or the world?

It is done by the Project Management Institute (PMI) -- the same folks who do the PMP certification, the PMP-ACP (Agile) cert, etc.

The CAPM cert does not have the 'X hours/days/years of Project Management experience' work requirement.

Instead, it has some minimum project managment education experience requirement -- something like that -- so even a non-project manager can get this particular certification -- though you might have to take an online course or similar.

Also, curious if you learned anything useful, especially if you have project management experience.

i mean, the solution to rich kids is going to be like... don't go outside for the next three months.

if you're a rich adult, you can fly north for the summer, but you'll have to go to.... somewhere where it's not blazing hot in the summer? where is that?

and then you'll be breathing heavy wildfire smoke?

The crisis is that developers won't work for free.

privately, we oppose everything good all the time, from beginning to end -- only the public stance changes.

i'm sure that's the same for Apple and every other big tech firm, every tech firm, every firm.

With more people suffering and dying from direct heat-related global warming conditions, I feel like we need a simpler way to talk about whether or not it is safe for people to go outside, for how long, etc., and I feel like the current reporting regime does not accomplish that.

I don't really remember why it was a thing, but I think I remember that it was because having a house underground-ish -- say, with just one face of the house exposed -- kept the house at earth temperature, which was generally a good thing -- no need to heat, nor cool. I think at the time maybe people were talking about heating bills??

If all that makes sense, could we do it again?

I always thought that it was awful to force humans underground -- like with subways -- but if it's a matter of survival...

Hmmmmm.

I agree with other commenter - polish up your resume.

You can try to have a chat with them, but they'll hate you and you might get fired.

You can go to the investors, but they'll hate you and you might get fired.

You can send an anonymouse letter to ceo and/or investors and try not to get outed but seeing as how you're brave enough to post here you'll prob be first fired.

I don't think your situation is unique at all.

You can always quit, into another company or not.

If I'm your bestie, I'm saying, don't do shit. Let dictator run it into the ground. Amazingly, they might not. AI is so hot, if you got funding, you might be lucky enough to stick around.

Companies can survive and thrive with even a seemingly-catastrophic amount of mismanagement and chaos -- including nepotism and outright criminal activity.

KGTC keep getting them checks. save your money. start interviewing lightly. try to make it to the point the CEO either runs the company into the ground, or they are pushed out by the investors.

This would be similar to the functions provided by orgs like https://sfbike.org/ but we'd be for-profit and have billions in funding.

it's tough to hold onto it (as a human) when you're being threatened and/or injured/maimed/killed by robots.

the idea of yelling at a robot and having it ignore you is pretty fucked up, especially if it's squeezing your coworker to death, or running a dog (or human) over, etc.

doubt a course could teach me half of what i would need to know in some reasonable amount of time - say, two or three months.

but open to the idea.
