Your suspicion is correct, it does not.

The 2nd number immediately means something to me. While I have to consider the first. From my perspective it isn’t easier to comprehend.

An unrelated point. I’ve noticed more people in the UK measuring their weight in KG. I think I may be in a dwindling minority of people who think in stones and pounds.

I absolutely love this game. It is has so much personality. I love the monsters names. They’re so cool.

Why not?

It’s supposed to be fun. As long as you’re not cheating the global leader board - which this approach doesn’t - why not play however you want.

I like go to overboard writing parsers for each day.

I’m not punishing them. I am literally commuting a couple of hours a day to help my juniors. I don’t want to. But I do want them to grow in their roles. And feel like a full member of the team, as quickly as possible.

I will accept that some of my senior team feel punished. They don’t need to come in for their own careers. They’re past that point. But part of being a senior is passing your skills along. And upskilling others.

+1. Working where we are most effective, at any given time, is the best defence against a mandated RTO.

> Sure it’s not the most effective

And this is the problem. I want to work from home full time. But until I can replicate all of the benefits remotely I will continue with hybrid.

This is a very emotive subject. The only way we are going to translation to a fully remote future is by accepting the limitions of remote. And then fixing them.

I would prefer to WFH 100%.

However I’m a team lead. And no matter what I try I can’t train my juniors as quickly remotely.

My seniors and I can show them how to work, and solve problems so much faster on-site. We catch bad habits sooner and in-still the teams approach to working via example. Which so far I’ve found hardest to replicate remotely.

Yes you can pass skills on remotely. But many people aren’t willing to spent extended periods on a call. And it is time people need more than anything else at the start of their career.

Many juniors - understandably - don’t know what skills they are lacking. And those that do don’t know which to focus on first. Only 10/20% have the right personality type to self-source these skills independently. They need our help. Just as we needed the previous generations help. And to provide that we need to really get to know them.

A great pick. Would it be childish to suggest the 13th?

Really sorry to hear that.

My personal experience, of hiring software engineers in London, aligns with this article. We have seen a drop in supply this year.

If you are looking in the South of England I would recommend finding a specialist tech recruitment agency.

Did you considered doing it anyway? If a one-off run reveals some previously unknown flaw in the test suite you could present that.
