Not sure about you guys, but I plan to not give my kids a phone until they reach at least the age of 14 (7 and 3 atm)

Is this realistic? Any experiences?

Some month ago they removed the Speed Up option when watching YT on TV. This basically costs me hours of my life as I normally watch videos on 1.5 speed...

While playing the game of GO, I learned something related:

Don't go on a hunt when your house is on fire

In a study that was done by the guys at Manager-Tools, they found out that a 1o1 every 4 weeks is worse than no 1o1 at all.

Google Sheets is based on canvas. Works pretty good for me.

In my experience it's important to not ask "easy" questions that can be answered by a simple yes/no.

Instead of: Are you friendly to remote work? Ask: Will I be working with anyone who is remote, or who works from home on a regular basis?

Instead of: Is the work life balance good? Ask: How responsive are people to emails/Slack over the weekends and after 6pm?

Instead of: Can I have a good career path? Ask: Did any of your senior engineers start out as junior engineers here?

There's a proverb for the Go programming language which says: ,,A little copying is better than a little dependency."

- They always told the truth (to everybody).

- They knew their stuff (tech, system, user domain).

- They figured out the right thing to do.

- They communicated often and flawlessly.

- They did whatever it took to get the right thing done.

- They smiled almost all the time.

- They made each other person feel special.

- They made work fun.

- They were always teaching something.

- They called bullshit instantly.

- They protected their team.

- They inspired us by showing how good things could be.

My personal story from Germany: My 14 month old son got a deaseae in the spine so he could not walk anymore.

We spent 4 weeks in the hospital. 1 week until it was diagnosed in the MRT, 3 weeks with 3 different antibiotic treatment and another two month antibiotics at home.

All this while my wife continued to study for her PHD so I stayed away from work and lived with my son in the hospital.

This whole experience did cost us around 200€ (incl. gasoline to drive to the hospital) while still getting full income from my employer.
