Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

Management

I know this has been talked about a lot. But something has to be said about our management. Our management is the most incompetent, the most untrustworthy, the most technically as far away as possible, the most talk with no action. My manager has been here for 18 years. She could be replaced by an intern tomorrow and nothing and I mean nothing would change

@dv great manager 👍. Lets use more space and not worry about space optimization. Is this how everyone writes code here ? Ever hear of swapping elements in place

newArray = []
For i in theOldArray:

Nobody cares about your one trick pony brain teaser. My Auntie can tear you up in Sudoku. What's your point? Most programming knowledge is training. You are not a scientist.

@ab just grok it.

# Method 1: Using slice notation
def reverse_array_slice(arr):
return arr[::-1]

# Method 2: Using reverse() method
def reverse_array_method(arr):
arr_copy = arr.copy() # Create a copy to avoid modifying original
arr_copy.reverse()
return arr_copy

# Method 3: Manual reversal
def reverse_array_manual(arr):
return [arr[len(arr) - 1 - i] for i in range(len(arr))]

# Example usage
array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
print("Original array:", array)
print("Reversed (slice):", reverse_array_slice(array))
print("Reversed (method):", reverse_array_method(array))
print("Reversed (manual):", reverse_array_manual(array))

output:
Original array: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Reversed (slice): [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
Reversed (method): [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
Reversed (manual): [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]

I always enjoy the My manager isn't technical post. That is by design. Due to focal you can choose a tech path or a management path - that is your only way forward at Intel. Either move up the management chain or shoot for PE++. Now FLM's ususally stay techincal and often also IC's. But eventually you just dont have the time to do both and your putting your management career at risk. While it will be denied, often we would hear time in grade as a variable for layoffs. So just remember for you 7's or below, your manager was likely previously just like you.

Which piece of re--rd management is down voting the comments?
Do us a favor and go write us a 5 line program in any language to reverse an array (not using any of gpt stuff). I bet most of you don't even know what an array is

That is typical Intel. Totally agree with the following: "Our management is the most incompetent, the most untrustworthy, the most technically as far away as possible, the most talk with no action."

Intel management is human managing, not technical at all, no vision to future, no idea of what to do.

Maybe your groups management is the worst but my groups management is the best. Sounds like you are hanging out in the wrong sandbox. Ti.e for you to look elsewhere.

I'm a fan of the idea of replacing people managers with AI. You'd get essentially the same or better support.

Yep. That’s Intel. It’s too late to fix it.
