This happened to me when I worked at TCS right out of college. I did the same thing as you and brought my case to HR and they didn't seem to care. When the client interviewed me I was very open about my actual skills and told them when something was just not true when they'd reference a lie on my resume that the company fabricated. Nothing negative ever happened to me during my employment there but I immediately started looking for another job.

Interesting. Is that TCS in India, US, or elsewhere? I am still there in the US, also directly out of college, and hadn't heard of that happening here.

I'm not a game dev, but a dev in a different industry and I am like your coworkers. I yearn for an office with no light but I am stuck in this awful open office with tons of light everywhere. My coworkers refuse to close the blinds and my desk looks right at the window. I hate it.

Why don't you exchange cubes with one of your colleagues who values natural light more?

Agreed. I say this to people I am riding with all the time that are speeding.

Same here, but his point is still somewhat correct, while not specifically accurate.

Just use 4chan

Use it through the Clover app for a much better time.

I'd imagine this is common with all large IT consultancy services. I had bad experiences with IBM as well as TCS.

So you want to lower your standards based on someone's gender alone just to check a box? Seems like a bad idea to me.

Loopring as well

It may not be the case for all men but I'd say that the article is accurate when it comes to me.

How can taking responsibility for the protection of your surroundings be considered unmanly?

Swaggering across the crosswalk, in such a way as to inconvenience others is considered manly. I know, because some random stranger in Cincinnati actually tried to give me lessons on that, specifically with regards to manliness. I hate those idiots.

Ah...

What do you plan to do about it? I am not asking to provoke, but I have some friends who fall into this category as well. How do we change the mindset? I live in a place where it isn't the case, but I grew up in GA and saw it everywhere. What would it take to convince folks that taking care of the place we live isn't ladylike or manly, but rather necessary for our health and survival?

Simple. Have a society that values things working correctly. The nicer parts of Stuttgart used to be like this. Jaywalk? People look at you like you're scum. See trash? You didn't ever see a single scrap of trash, other than around those stalk-like cigarette butt receptacles. In fact, when I visited in 2000, every outdoor trash receptacle in Stuttgart was completely airtight by law. I had the strange (for me) experience of walking through a major urban area without once smelling trash.

Here in SF, in some parts of the city, you have to keep an eye out to avoid human feces.

I was one of those people tasked with investigating Watson and I had the exact experience you described. It was a huge joke. Tried out Bluemix as well, it wasn't a huge joke but it wasn't great either.

What was lacking in Watson? Lack of features or lack of accuracy? I had integrated Watson in on of the libraries in a platform I was building and found it reasonable. Haven't compared it extensively with other offerings from Microsoft or AWS, so interested in knowing if you have..

Agreed, I couldn't get past the first few slides without getting annoyed by the animated backgrounds and closing the presentation out.
