I was in this position. Either advance to Staff Engineer (with 0% coding) or leave the group. The group I was a part of did not realize that not all good developers make good managers.

I've always firmly believed that I am not good in a people leading position, and that I excel as an IC.

I never ended up finding a new group in the company, as a company-wide layoff of software engineers ended my relationship with them.

I just found a new role as an IC, and I couldn't be happier.

But if you present your badly written requirements to a person who has the culture to ask questions, you at least have that safeguard. After all, it's a collaboration.

And when you work with an offshore team, quite often as contractors, you have the issue that you don't get top quality.

The in-between company will do its very best to hire low to maximize profit.

The good quality developers work either on local grown software, or leave the country for better opportunity.

And you are now working with a group of developers whose livelihood depends on saying 'yes' or not saying 'no.

And because of this you will not know whether there is an issue in the requirements until x time later and the plane goes down.

I cannot set a random outgoing From: address when sending an email in iOS. In many ways I understand applications not wanting this feature. Non-technical people will see it and wonder: What if I put in someone else's email address here?

Does that mean I can talk with my Nest Thermostat without paying $5?

Edit: yes, seemingly. Good, now I can get rid of my Honeywell/Resideo thermostats that came with the house.

If you ever had a Nest (one that learns how long it takes to heat up a room and preemptively shuts down heating) you'll never want a dumb one afterwards.

Hold on. She's not locked out. She couldn't share it with someone else . Completely different.

When I signed up for Hotmail it was 2MB.

Then on April 1st, 2004 Google launched wasn't an April 1st joke... GMail with 1GB! I remember getting a beta invite and inviting others.

The problem I find is that whatever comes after 24.04 and before 26.04 will not be supported by Jellyfin.

But VPNs are sold as the solution for when you are on an untrusted network, like at Starbucks.

But, because of this someone can have a Pineapple with a Starbucks SSID, push option 121 and capture a WHOLE bunch of traffic, even though the person using it has configured NordVPN on their iPhone with the killswitch on.

> I’m baffled that so many people who sell coffee for a living, think they know a lot about it, and act like coffee snobs, don’t seem to understand what cold brew even is.

Anecdotally, this is something I've experienced in the USA more than in Europe. When I ask a question in store a lot of times I get the feeling that the person answering considers themselves an expert and quickly make claims that I know for a fact are false.

It's like in the USA saying "I don't know, but let me get someone who does" isn't allowed.

> 64-bit architectures are not affected by the y2k38 problem, but they are affected by this transition.

I read the article with my limited knowledge and I couldn't find an explanation for this statement. Can someone elaborate?

Thank you so much! I owe you a <insert-drink-of-your-choice>!
