Sorry about that :P

@Jamal Sort of, my brothers were over and messed around on my computer while I was off showing the grandparents my apartment.

500 rep bounty on my most recent question: codereview.stackexchange.com/q/204017/27623

Though mine it didn't look like that, it was like half of the right logo and then half of another logo

@202_accepted Yea

@Vogel612 May want to look into this user when you get the chance: codereview.stackexchange.com/users/180100/dad

Eh scratch that I'll just go straight to 500 rep bounty

Was the problem also easy enough to understand? I tried to be as clear as possible about the actual problem, separated from how I implemented a solution

@200_success Agreed, when the opportunity arises I was going to put 250+ bounty on it

Hey @200_success ! Did you find my question intriguing enough?

@202_accepted They're just ramping up here in MN, it's pretty small here too

If you'd consider it

@202_accepted I can still refer you for another team

How about yourself?

@skiwi Fairly well! Fairly busy too

@202_accepted Oh I would offer you one too if you actually pursue it haha

@Malachi Our business team handles a lot of testing too from the end user standpoint, making sure the final numbers are correct

@Malachi So right now we create tests in parallel with the creation of new features

TBH my team used to be quite underfunded within Amazon and only now we are just being brought back up to speed... so one of the things that we are working on currently is improving the testing of our platform (my team works on tax btw, that's all we focus on)

@Malachi We don't really have dedicated QA's here, they exist but for the most part SDE's can do basically the same thing (implementing automated testing)

@Malachi Are you an automated tester or more of a manual tester?

The pipeline handles all the testing, so we have unit tests to build, integration tests in the first part of the pipeline (alpha/beta), performance tests after that (gamma) and then diff checks to go to prod

:46819249 Oh, well we have a pipeline through which code changes run... the devo parts are continuous deployment and the prod parts are more manual unfortunately... our team is working on that part

@Malachi The main perk is pay, but the benefits are pretty good too

@Malachi No one will know who that is haha

@Malachi I'm confused what you mean by SDLC process? SDLC is a process itself?

Other companies own the bottom 2, the 4th floor is empty

@Malachi No, Amazon leases the top 3 floors

google.com/…

My team is hiring too if you're looking for an entry point/referral

@Malachi Hm, well if you're ever in the area feel free to swing by T3 during the work day

@Malachi Jeez your commute must suck... do you work remotely much?

@Malachi Oof you're like an hour away from the cities lol

@Malachi Possibly, were in MN though? It's a big state haha

You don't necessarily get the good stories to balance out the bad, due to the nature of how journalism works

Reading those reviews unfortunately exposes you to selection bias

@202_accepted I was actually very concerned about that too when I started, working here for a bit now I can thankfully say it would be highly unlikely you would encounter that working for corporate

@Malachi Sadly no, I don't use either of those

@Malachi I do

@202_accepted Sounds good, what's so bad about Amazon though?

Trying to see if there are any jobs in OH for ya

@202_accepted Would you be willing to switch jobs? I might be able to refer you to Amazon

@202_accepted Where do you work now?

@Peilonrayz Ah, makes sense then I suppose

@Mast Actually, Amazon does have a location in the Netherlands...

If you were US based I could've maybe recommended you to some places

@Mast Welp, I can't really help with the job hunt over there haha

@Mast You're based in the Netherlands?

@Mast Scrapped?

@Mast Was the heater project successful?
