It's called having boundaries. I volunteer on the weekends and some weekdays at a local homeless shelter. I volunteer at the local library. I will be volunteering at our local food bank to help support food insecure families. It's a good way to get grounded in your community and impart some real positive impact on your fellow neighbors.

What I will not do is be exploited for free labor by the USGS who can absolutely afford to pay someone to do the contract work they are asking for. But by all means, if you want to, go for it.

Depends on the person, but requiring anything over 30 hours a week to me is part-time work commitment, and compensation is deserved

You missed the last half of that sentence. It's a room, not a house, that you will be likely be sharing with someone else.

> room in a shared apartment or house.

Tell me, objectively, how NPR is irrelevant?

> I moved from SF to Utah in ~2018, and managed to buy a few rental properties since then, and despite my "income" not keeping pace with my peers in the city my wealth is exceeding them. So the first thing is, the money argument is holding less water every day that goes by.

This is hilarious. You don't have to worry about the financial aspect of your job when you can collect extra income every month as a landlord.

You do know we hire people who have to _write_ these libraries, and they can't just defer to something else with no consideration to time or space constraints. None of the questions are designed to be brainteasers or 'gotchas' but to get you to start discussing the problem and show your depth of knowledge/expertise.

If I ask you a question along the lines of "write me a function to tell if two number ranges intersect" and your solution is to grab a library instead of writing a simple predicate...then perhaps the role is not a good fit.

"Use a library for everything" is how we ended up with left-pad on npm.

I used to, and I probably would if I had to work with remote files more often. But in my experience I found it faster to just build emacs on the remote server and run it as a daemon there, since all the machines I was working on remotely had /home on an NFS mount. TRAMP took just a little too long to load remote directories for my liking.

But in case I am plopped in front of an unknown terminal/have to do something on someone else's machine ... at least I can rely on using the default vim to do basic editing.
