No one cares about your technical challenges. [08:37] schestowitz[TR2] Are you doing the bathroom queuing simulation in your WatsonX challenge ? [08:37] schestowitz[TR2] IBM previously filed that patent (related to the bathroom queuing) and received it. [08:37] schestowitz[TR2] I doubt that you are intellectually savvy to perform any technical task.

Would you go to a cancer support group and brag about how many pushups you can do? [08:37] schestowitz[TR2] Why don't you come clean and tell us how much IBM is paying you to be a shill?

My post wasn't about layoffs or executive compensation it was about a technical challenge I volunteered to lead and the work my team has put into it over the past few weekends. Those are two different topics. People can be disappointed with company decisions and still take pride in building something worthwhile with their colleagues.

You posted about your enthusiasm for IBM (which is run by crooks) on a layoff site where people air concerns and grievances, and then you pondered how someone could post a grievance after reading your lovely post. What's wrong with this picture?

I posted about spending weekends leading a team on an AI project, and your response is executive pay. Some of us enjoy building things instead of turning every conversation into the same grievance.
