Sinple. Provide a low effort option that rewards the user for their time.

I've discovered this way of looking at work as well, though I apply it more to outside of work personally. It really amazes me how much gets done when I decide "just do it for a chapter or two" or whatever the measurement is.

Coffee + L-Theanine = Balance

imagine not typing out the full/basic git commands the rest of your life and all the time that'll save though

I believe lying to some degree must be done in order to meet the challenge of the modern tech job posting. Interviews do not reflect reality. I think we just need to demonstrate competency of core concepts, get the job, and then rise to the occasion as fast as possible.

If an industry demands the impossible, let's pretend we can do the impossible as well, and let reality be somewhere in-between the two. Being honest here only allows for the dishonest to succeed, so let's join them in mass self-deception.

This only works if you're ready to "download" the information you need once you're given the job though!

Would love you to elaborate on how you organize and catch up - it's a constant battle. I get a LOT done but I definitely sacrifice other aspects of life in the name of getting things done.

Back on the topic of blogging, I agree with your points about maintenance. I think if the goal is purely writing and having it be accessible on the internet, html and a minimal amount of css are going to have the lowest overhead, best performance, be portable, and be easiest to maintain, won't it? It depends on if you want extra functionality of course but if the intention really is just to write, html works fine?

Markdown files using Nextcloud - I can edit and the files on my phone/browser. When it comes to note taking, I want something fast and everywhere.

It even handles regex (and capture groups!)! I think the issue here though is that it's not always available by default depending on repo.

That does sound stressful and annoying but I'd have to assume the tests given are given because the interviewers are extremely familiar with the problem and can read into every choice you make and form opinions (be they right or wrong) about how you work, face problems, overcome them, etc.

Let them vape just like we, as a society, let people smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol, and consume fast food and sugar. I feel like the trend to outlaw things like kratom and vaping is so hypocritical, I can only assume it's because they compete against big tobacco/pharma, not any kind of altruistic research.

Google is an ad company that just happens to make other tech. They need to bifurcate the two in meaningful ways to re-establish trust.
