Started reading and immediately hearing it narrated in his voice.

100% agree. Never compromise on what is part of your character build. It's not about them, it's all about you, your mental health, and your career trajectory.

Also, doesn't chip manufacturing require a lot of water? Water is not the first thing that comes to mind when I hear Arizona. I think I'm about to learn a lot with this.

I wish the Pro version wasn't subscription based. I'd pay a one time cost even if they dropped the stuff that needs server support (AI, Sync, whatever).

Bur this is not an async problem. It's a TZ problem, right? . OTOH you can avoid being paged in the middle of your sleep id your team has people in far time zones.

For the record, I struggle with timezone differences too. The non-async moments tend to always suck for someone.

>do manual updates when a patch is out for two weeks.

Manufacturers will simply ship dormant changes that wake up a month after deployed.

They could. Just don't expect the same pay when the assistant is performing a big chunk of the work.

Same goes for engineers. Just wait.

Another good resource is Jeremy Fielding's YT channel.

Interesting but it doesn't seem to activate the menu item for me. Can I make the menu item be invoked once I found it? Hitting return does nothing.

Which type of drill bits you tried? There are drill bits made specifically for plastics.

I know it doesn't cover all the risks (including other tools and even poisoning) but it was a no-brainer for me to upgrade to a SawStop when I decided I was liking this hobby and was going to stick with it for a while.

Fellow coder and woodworker here. I can relate to the article for sure and I'd add that in my case I make a point of avoiding using software or computer-assisted anything in my woodworking. So no Fusion 360, no SketchUp, no CNC, no laser cutters, no 3D printers.

It sounds radical but it feels important to my mental health to keep my woodworking physical an analog as possible. Now, I'm still a power tool junkie so I'm not about to give up my table saw or planer.

So many hobbies are expensive. I know I'm not competing with mass-produced pieces. It's like never dining in a nice restaurant because there are so many fast-food chains out there.

I think the point is more about people who worked with Gates not having that many bad things to say about him. I used to follow MSFT news very closely during the Gates era and invariably you'd hear stories how people at the company genuinely liked him.

I love software engineering and working with other coders. That said, the second I'm able to retire comfortably, I won't bat an eye.

I might still decide to work on something but very not primarily software. Maybe I'll teach, work on something more manual or do volunteer work.

Thankfully my wife doesn't read HN.
