I actually think this is a good thing. While the technical side is important, I think that having a person who the team gets along with and has a similar mindset is more important than ever.

Technical gaps will always be there, and people will have to work with those and learn.

Maybe I am just talking from the perspective of a SWE that is not exceptional, but this is my feeling.

Yeah, we are trying to do that with our oldest, but he might still be a bit young (4)?. But that's essentially what we are trying to do: coming out of bed is your choice and everytime whether will be a consequence. No cartoons, or no books before bed, or stuff like that. We also tried to give him a timeout: if you come out, then you'll sit on this chair facing the wall doing nothing. No talking, no interactions. This last one seems to be somewhat effective. At some point he realizes he's bored and he tells ok "Ok I want to go to bed".

Yeah parenting is hard. Overall my kids are not bad behaved, it's just that this being stressful period it adds up.

Thanks :)

Not that good. Struggling at work. We had a series of hard issues in a row and I felt being accused for poor work in the past, when while it is true I should have understood technical stuff in the past better, a lot of this was due to technical debt.

I am seeing the end of the tunnel, but I hope nothing else comes up for a while or I'll have a mental breakdown.

On top of this I'm struggling with my little kids. They are giving us a hard time going to bed on time, keep coming up, and I get frustrated with them and hate myself after because I have a reaction and get mad at them.

I just hope this period passes soon.

My nephew had multiple heart surgery, and after the last one, he kept having the wound release liquids. For months, they just medicated the wound regularly hoping it would solve by itself. At last, they decided for a cleaning surgery, and a pediatric specialist came from Rome and apparently brought something like "fish sheets" to "cover the wound while it heals.

I generally don't, I have other things to do in life. Family, kids, hobbies etc.

I'd say if you feel stuck and feel like you are not progressing, it might the right time to look for a new challenge?

No expert at all here. But could I use this to say, model my room and understand how to treat it acoustically to remove reflections and stuff like that?

I am married to an american but we are leaving abroad and we never started the process for me to get a green card as we didn't plan to move to the US yet. Is it true that when I apply and get the card I then have a limited amount of time to move in, and if I don't then I would have to start the whole process again?

In general I also agree with this one, however I think that if a team really wants to enforce this, then at the very minimum should suggest the IDE to use and the settings to automatically correct formatting.

I suggest implementing a linter/formatter tool to be used with a pre-commit hook, so that it runs automatically and checks for this stuff automatically, avoiding you having to do it manually (mostly)
