I would also add (maybe this is #3+#4): networking is important and might come harder to some developers stuck in their own world.

Understand the needs and goals of your manager peers / team members / boss (360 degrees) so that you can come to mutually beneficial [financial] decisions.

>>to let you set a custom portfolio on autopilot

Can't you invest in a set of 5 passive ETFs and forget about it for 40 years? Or even build your own ETFs for that purpose: https://www.motif.com? Or are you talking about "if risk of market crash is too high, sell everything for a bit -- buy back in when this calms down" type stuff?

I worked for a company where we gave you two modes to view things (a A/V version with bullet points, and a text transcript version). Its cool in concept. BUT, once you get into this you're doubling the amount of work as an author for very little gain (unless the modes are "instruction-ally purposeful" in some way). In addition, if you do any multi-lingual work (we did), you've doubled your translation cost per language as well.

Its also hard to validate the perspectives of your users. One TLDR user isn't the same as another - one wants 2-3 paragraphs another wants three bullets. You can put in that work here, but... its work. And you're not guaranteeing anyone ever sees the bulk of your long-form to which you probably want them to see to make a lasting connection and because you put the effort in to generate.

Google seemed to have some trouble recently when they didnt show up to congress... but then it just disappeared. Facebook seems to have tried to own up to it, and its backfiring... Google must have just paid off everyone with their lobbying powerhouse to make it go quiet.

I believe that's the guiding principal behind Creative Curriculum: https://www.creativecurriculum.net/

My kids' daycare has adopted it. It seems perfect for my daughter who seems self-driven, but maybe too open-ended for my son (who we pushed ahead..so far - mid-november bday with 10/31 cutoff).

Or maybe better: https://www.montessori.com/montessori-education/

Give the locals a loyalty card that gives them half-price burgers.

I've been part of 6 separate buy-out/merger/acquisitions (from both angles). In year 3 of current one.

The event, whether you are acquired or acquiree, presents significant and unique opportunities to move vertically and/or horizontally to improve your situation. If you're sitting there wondering about job security then you (a) didn't have job security in the first place; (b) are wasting everyone's time, including yours.

Is he waking up near the same time every night? If so, wake him up and re-comfort him before he wakes himself up. Breaks his body's habits, and resets after a week or two (YMMV on the length of time). That was the advice from our (general) doctor.

We also tried gas drops, as we noticed sometimes he just burped and went back to sleep after half an hour of extreme crankiness.

I believe it would be FS;DR

But, in case you are serious: CTRL++ to zoom in. CTRL+0 to reset to normal.

its interesting that most other comments in here are debating sociological issues rather than the medical one here, as the paper you linked pointed out. Thanks for sharing.

I've done the same, although, i just put it right in the code:

TODO, REDO, DONE with the corresponding JIRA ticket ID for extended mental notes (Pull Request fits here too). IDEs can grok all that together so you can quantify the bad stuff in the code, which can help management make better decisions.
