I guess the Leadership Princple of "Have Backbone; Disagree and Commit" doesn't apply when dealing with our current POTUS.

Attempting to get a seasonal job, year after year, for just 2-3 months a year would be difficult.

My wife is a former school teacher and she spent a considerable amount of time planning and working on things for the next school year. If teachers are expected to all work over summer break to make ends meet then their performance will suffer.

I'd argue that a better approach for teachers and education in general would be to move to more year-round schooling.

Wouldn't they still have the same licensing issues then? Maybe this is just a workstation issue and they still allow/support some Windows server OSes.

I have not worked at Facebook but have several acquaintances who have in the past. A frequent complain I've heard is they actually do dogfood their own product. Much of the communication is done via Facebook between employees and is difficult to stay up to date on things.

You can use a security key or TOTP app instead of providing your phone number.

If you want to get familiar with DevOps basics in a cloud environment I would start with the Cloud Resume Challenge (https://cloudresumechallenge.dev/). It provides a good way to get started on building things with IaC and using pipelines to do so.

It also provides practical, real-world experience that none of AWS' certs offer.

A coworker we think has figured it out. Its 365 + leap year days + 31 day month.

I think having shorter cert lifetimes is generally a good thing and with tools like Let's Encrypt its becoming easier and easier.

If anyone is aware of how Safari came up with the 398 day number I'd love to know.

I tried Calibre and it ended up with funky line spacing :(
