About 5 years ago my wife finally wore me down and we got an English Bulldog. The friends that we made at the dog park have become some of our closest friends, and it's great having friends that you don't work with because you don't end up talking about work.
I'm not a very extraverted person by any means but whenever I'm out with the dog I end up talking to people I never would have. Especially when I take him to a dog friendly bar (shoutout to DBA in the East Village!)
I find this surprising because my personal experience is the exact opposite. At least in NYC, drivers use the Lyft (or Uber) app for managing riders but use a dedicated mapping application for navigating to the destination once you're picked up.
Another thing I've found useful is just leaving channels where I find little to no value. If there's something important you need to be involved in, 99% of the time you'll get added back and can catch-up to contribute. In my experience with Slack, you end up in channels for "visibility" on things that have no impact on you and you have no impact on.
I've offended a lot of suburban friends and family though, because they don't understand how we could raise a child in NYC let alone give them any kind of independence. I've been told that it's irresponsible, that I'll be endangering him, and that I'm crazy to think the city is a safe place for a child, among other things.
It worked really well for a team that served a lot of different stakeholders and also had to field requests from customers since the priority of the work was always changing even if the deadlines for the work didn't.
During my senior year I was able to take a course through BOCES on audio production. That course related some of the trigonometry I was struggling with to a subject I was deeply interested in.
I don't expect Math teachers to start teaching audio production, but it would have been nice if the teacher had seen me struggling and at least attempted to approach the subject from a different angle ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Overall the process was smooth, the React + Vite frontend app was up and running as soon as I connected GitHub and added the envars. But the dotnet backend took a little bit of trial and error to get running because it didn't like my initial Dockerfile.
Overall the process has been pretty smooth though I wish the docs were a little more robust and had more examples.
I agree though, native multi-user support would be great. Though, I'd hope it's better than what we got on tvOS.
I'm sure I have logins for older accounts stored in 1Password, but none of them would be anything actively used.
