SPOILER ALERT: Bartender is a software application used to read large number of barcodes, QR codes, RFID, etc. at high speed.

While that may be true, this is still likely an automated response built by a script that found some keywords on your profile. I still get the occasional proposition for RPG work, and I haven't touched an AS/400 in over a 20 years which my profile reflects. I haven't even touched my profile in years. But the script doesn't care about that. That's for the HR rep to filter out later if you respond.

Why you are no doubt correct; as someone who's had to support a BarTender based automated print system in a manufacturing company, this skillet need doesn't surprise me at all and is part of why the software gave me a drinking problem.

So you’re saying it would help to have both a bartender, and a bartender specialist on the team. Seems like we might be doing the bot a disservice here

Another example of corporate cost cutting, making the employees serve their own drinks.

I'm still getting weekly emails (and who knows how many linked in messages) trying to recruit me over a profile I haven't updated in a decade...aka 2 years after I entered the industry

One of these days, I'm going to set up my AI assistant to respond. Who knows, with an even playing field maybe some of them will be worthwhile

For North Italia, a pizzeria?

Also, I looked it up and the software has a capitalized T.

Southern Italy is better at pizza. Florence is about the best

Southern Italy is better at pizza, we all agree atelier all that's where pizza comes from. Florence is not in the south however, you might have had a good pizza, you can eat very good pizza everywhere in Italy. That said general consensus is Naples is where you want to go for the good good shit.

You're correct. I was confusing the two cities

But... North Italia is a pizzeria?

Warehouse management?

Hey, don't you come round here messing up a funny misunderstanding with FACTS.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

North Italia doesn't seem to be a software company.

Unfortunate name. Is Bartender well known in the programming world? I wonder if they have trouble getting candidates.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It's fairly well known in the Enterprise IT world; like others say, it does induce drinking.
