Today I got a bug report from our customer support team. Our system can technically bill people in increments of a fraction of a cent. When it actually bills, it'll round to the nearest cent.

Today, someone complained that they were charged $x.44, but the system determined that $x.441 worth of services were rendered. They were confused why our system didn't round up to $x.45 and insisted on a fix.

This got through a customer and 2 levels of support before it got me. It was rounded correctly.

What an honest customer. Your product owner probably provide them the wrong information.

They don't want those fractions of a penny going to someone's bank account!

Should I specialize in Blockchain or AI? I’m a freshman in a CS degree and I can’t decide. My main argument to choose blockchain is the easy entry with little experience and high salary, I plan on growing my skills during the bear market and get a job once the market recovers. Regarding AI, I find this field fascinating but I feel like it requires a lot of experience, degrees and diplomas.

Hello, Need some advice. I am largely a self taught full stack developer, and quite comfortable with coding. However, when under pressure at work, I crumble and go in a rabbit hole and need assistance from someone in team to pull me out, so much so that it negatively gives impression that I am slacking. I have been working to brush up my skills in DS, Algo and fundamentals since I feel having a better understanding of these might help. I specifically struggle with bug tickets. Contd in comment

Hi all - just joining and looking for some guidance! I am currently in an IT internship position (making pretty solid money considering) and following this summer I will stay on part time during my senior year (discussing a full-time job offer after already). I’m getting my computer science degree, so I would like to do something more technical in the workplace when I graduate. How do I advocate myself for that to my manager without sounding unappreciative of the position I’m in?
