Tech affected and DM majorly wrecked. Nasty times. Be safe.

Is cpu going 3rd party?

Now can he be fired.

People complaining on reddit that during exam session on the MyLearn courses it crashes down. Will AI be supportive to resolve issues?

Would be a lot better!

AI Ambassador does what?

This is a time I wish I could have been a part of. It started out as 4 nodes. Had I been a bit older I would have been a part of the beginning. It was 6 years later that I did become a part of implementing the ARPANET which would become the internet. It's likely most on this board weren't even born yet.

Fortran is a computer language that is for the most part ridiculed (unjustly) now, however it was used to get us to the moon and back, and was used to implement the first packet switching.

"From there, the military agency funded a project to create such a network. For the system to work, it needed a way to break up messages from a sender into smaller portions that were then reassembled at the destination. Boehm and Baran simulated this process, which would eventually become known as packet switching, using a program written in the computer language Fortran."

Those were exciting times never to be had again.

Is anyone else ready for the shitstorm that will be end of month wire issues? Ever since we got to the ISO platform, which everyone touted they took 3 years to work on and will absolutely work, I've had nothing but dissatisfied customers and wires either being caught in queue for too long, leaving the bank but reporting lagging for hours, or not even leaving the bank. I feel we have taken a major step backwards when it comes to technology and our senior leaders have no idea what's going on, which is sad and disappointing but not surprising. I now have to be online an extra 3 hours tomorrow just in case there are wire issues because instead of creating an in-house program with our tech team like other major banks, we naturally outsourced it to a third party at the cheapest price so we get what we pay for. And, we are also the largest bank to use this platform and I don't believe this platform can fully support the number of transactions that go through on a daily basis especially at any type of end, such as month end, quarter end, fiscal year end, etc

Been giving it serious thought, as I have been job searching and finding little movement or activity from applying, agency recruiters, etc. It might be due to now in Q4 and "circle back season", but I wonder if I should use this time to explore other options and going back to school part-time.

Anyone else thinking about this?

I swear to whoever the creator is these execs are d-mb as he-l. Buying cheap platforms for a big a-s org like UHC and the companies it’s bought out plus offshoring to overseas third world countries results in so many tech issues and SD and upper management want to act surprised systems are down.

It's been a long time coming--but a much steeper trajectory toward then end--but this company's technology organization has officially fallen to Indians. If you are not an Indian, your career prospects are bleak. They also keep telling us that the new offshore capability center isn't intended to reduce the FTE onshore footprint, but just know, you are being lied to like you have been lied to about prior layoffs and RTO. It truly saddens me to say this because I've been loyal to this company for a long time, but this place isn't even recognizable anymore.

Any team that is in Azure is reporting 100% impact. All regions. Azure support helpless on the call. During peak season!

Man, sure am glad we decommissioned Chaska and Elk River and mandated the company go 100x to the cloud!!! What could go wrong?

What a disaster.

Does anyone have inside info on whether Emerson will be laying off same huge number of employees like other big tech companies?

So, given what happened yesterday, how impacted was AWS, particularly the actual techs who worked there?

LOB: Technology
Lead software engineer

They let go many white engineers.

My husband was just laid off. He's technically in the Tech space so looks like no sector is safe. He wasn't an engineer btw.

Team lost tech lead this morning.

"Skyworks Solutions will BUY smaller rival Qorvo, they said on Tuesday, forming a $22 billion combined company that supplies radio-frequency chips to Apple and other smartphone makers."

The stock-and-cash deal, which will create one of the largest U.S. suppliers of radio-frequency chips. The aim is to repositoon the new company for a recovery in the smartphone market.

Look back at the layoffs from 2015. The excuses are the same. Too many layers, too much inefficiency, too much redundancy, too slow with technology, costs out of control, and a business model in perpetual catch-up mode.

The only thing certain about this company is its ability to keep spinning and spinning without actually solving anything. This was a broken company then, and it’s broken now.

Happy Oracle AI World 2025!

Colossus: The Forbin Project -- Watch it, it's happening right now in our generation.

Who knew, someone thought of this AI/Quantum computing idea in 1960's and made it into a movie in 1970. And now 55 years later, it's starting to become reality.

what are your thoughts on the push to use AI in our daily work? Too much? Too little? Should make our jobs easier and more efficient?

I left SF few years ago! When I look at current salary range, the higher end doesn’t hit my current base salary! How is it this company attracts experienced talent

Just heard CS talking about AI. All at beginning of this -- in terms of efficiency. I intemperate this as CS is looking for AI to increase efficiency. Not too many folks on this board have talked about AI at Wells. Only comments about tech is that it is horrible and way behind.

An article on the Entrepreneur site states for JP Morgan staff wanting to access their new $3B headquarters building, they will need to provide their biometric data.

Considering how much of a crush RK has on JP Morgan's CEO, Stifel should be breaking ground on a new headquarters soon that can only be accessed with biometrics.

Commonwealth Bank, Australia's largest bank and in fact the largest company, has successfully migrated their core banking system off the mainframe onto SAP S/4 Hana on an AWS cloud system. They expect to retire their mainframe in 18 months, and it's now only processing credit card transactions.
If Comm Bank can successfully retire their mainframe, then anyone can do it. The argument for keeping the mainframe has always been it's crucial for high transaction high security environments, but this proves that is not the case.
It's only a matter of time before other FSI companies, and governments, follow the same path.

So here’s what it is. Try to turn tech into a revenue generator by laying off a ton of people and licensing our technology with the new dept she created. Sorry folks that’s all you get when you pay someone $20 million a year. For $25 million you could have gotten a college graduate who learned AI by studying not by watching you tube. It’s Epic dude.

Ford will introduce new EVs in 2027. The technology that Ford puts in these EV are all outdated. They are already being used in China since 2023. Ford is trying to benchmark what the Chinese EV implemented. This is embarrassing.

I’ve seen around my city and district, Wells Fargo is adding in new or additional ATM’s at branches, new TCR’s which allow tellers to deposit or withdraw directly from the machine next to them without needing to buy money from the vault pushing forward efficiency. Yet we still have drive thrus??? Non-revenue building and a dying generation who refuses to move forward.

What’s the plan here WF?

Any word on when the next wave hits for technology? I thought it was October but I haven’t heard anything for a while.
