Former nurse turned dev.

I see a few of these AI note taking apps for healthcare and can’t help but shake my head.

This is just not how nurses work on the ward. Nurses are most worried about liability. So notes are written in a way to protect ourselves in addition to actual patient info. Probably more so now that I think about it.

The whole point of the article is that he prefers to "miss out"

I like to

  git commit --amend --no-edit

often

once a piece of functionality is working, edit the commit so it makes sense

start new commit and work on next piece of functionality, repeat

clean commit history not just for me but for my coworkers who will benefit from seeing a cohesive commit diff

Anyone else annoyed that the way this table is laid out the pivot comes first before original idea. My brain doesn't work this way...

Get a leetcode subscription and start interviewing in Q2.

He said FAANG would easily increase his salary 2-3x, which probably is the case if he is making sub $150k. He never said getting into FAANG would be easy.

If you have a team of 6 and everyone leaves every 12 months, it doesn't matter what candidate you bring on, job hopper or not, your organization is the one at fault.

You have the resume for sure.

Have you worked on your social/emotional intelligence/interviewing skills?

I understand where you're getting at.

I think many pessimistic people don't start or give up earlier and this leads to the self fulfilling prophecy.

Could be wrong, objective data would be needed for sure.

You worked on improving your poor abilities rather than accepting it as just.

Sometimes there are no more life hacks to try and you might just have to accept that you work best in the afternoons/evenings as opposed to the mornings.

Perhaps optimizing for this is better than changing your habits and working against your natural tendency?

Yes, but the optimistic mindset would probably have a better outcome than the latter regardless if they failed to meet their original expectations or not.

"It's simply not possible for an average person like me to make that kind of money."

Putting these sort of limitations on yourself, from my experience, will dampen the effort that you put in to achieve new levels, if you even try at all. That reduced effort will result in exactly what you predicted for yourself.

So, begs the question, what sort of effort have you put in to increase your pay past the median dev salary.

Spend less time applying and more time truly polishing up one or two repos/side projects. Cleaning up a few repos is the bare minimum here.

Been looking for something like this. Just ordered one!
