When I was just getting started in my first couple years of learning, I blogged at least once a week about what I was excited about and what I was learning.

It was a good way to put words to thoughts and solidify things I've learned. It also helped keep me on track, I could look back at what I wrote last week and keep myself on track and honest to myself that I was going to follow through.

I should probably pick this back up since it was an effective means for learning. No one ever read what I wrote but some times it helps to put it out there in the public instead of a diary in order to kind of force yourself to stay with it.

Doesn't this make him look bad when the lawsuit goes against him, or is withdrawn?

I don't see 1031 exchange mentioned much in the discussions of housing problems. People who own real estate absolutely lose their shit when this is brought up as something that should go away which is by itself a pretty good indicator. There's so much tax collection being 'lost' on this it's something that should be repealed but likely won't.

I have also noticed that although people are recognizing their is a massive growing homeless population in all cities, particularly the west coast, it gets pushed away as just a bunch of drug users on fent, instead of realizing the bulk of these people became homeless in the last 3 years as housing and rentals have blown up in costs without wages matching.

There's so little resources for the people at the bottom suffering homelessness, the only thing keeping a lot of people housed right now is the soon-expiring eviction moratoriums.

I work at a place now that ditched the time estimates and the sprint planning meetings and standups that go along with that and it's so much better.

Time estimates are always wrong, it always slips to the right. This is always used against you. You suffer because of it. Your work suffers because of this.

I get a couple extra hours a week by not doing daily standups, retrospectives, sprint planning, etc etc. This allows tasks to be shipped faster.

If there's a problem I communicate it up and stakeholders understand.

Want to know how long it might take? Look at some historical tasks in Jira and compare timestamps.

> employees have to live within 100 miles of the office and be able to come in 1 day a week or 1 day a month depending on team.

This is much more reasonable than what I've seen most places offer. I don't mind the sound of that at all!

Anyone else get a "2% inflation raise" this year? Have you brought up rising inflation and pointed out that raise doesn't match reality? Did your employer agree to give you an extra couple percent?

I like my job and my employer but after getting that pittance after last years bs and now high inflation I'm not sure it's worth arguing for a bigger bump retroactively (showing my hand when I don't get it) and instead I think it might be easier to just find a new job.

A gram of wax lasts me probably 50+ hits. It seriously lasts a long time. A tiny little crumb you can pinch out of the jar is more than enough for a big hit

What I've learned from this thread is that programmers doing zoom interviews have all developed their own personal conflicts with interacting with video conf software and you will be punished if you do not know their weird pet peeves and fractious reactions ahead of time.

Interviewing for tech jobs was already a crap shoot but now it's on a whole nother level.

On the other hand it's interesting to think about how you can game the system to get an advantage, like one user who said they bought/used fancy lighting and a dslr to have an edge.

Weird how aliens always show up around USG locations and vehicles. All the land mass in the world and some how it's always around the super militarized North America.

I'm unsure because I do not answer the calls.

Since I do not live in 470 area code I do not answer calls from there. I've read (unsure the validity) that answering spam calls alone can be used as another data point in phishing.

Thanks I haven't heard of that before. I will try installing this and see if it blocks the numbers from getting through.
