To jog people's memory about Sky: yes this is the app created by former Shortcuts/Workflow.app people

I use a USB-C hub with DisplayLink to drive my setup. This means MacOS thinks I'm recording the screen.

I'm a bit worried Team's solution will use those APIs will be used (ie I'll have a choice: see a Teams meeting video OR be hooked up to all my monitors).

What I think is a related side effect: I also can't watch video (streaming via web browser or via Apple TV app) with this setup either.

oh and use File -> Workspace -> the workspace you want.

Vs having the list of workspaces on the left with the current one highlighted-with-a-border

Ummm how do you know what Slack workspace you're in?

Use case: I'm in #general. Can I ask a clarifying question about $DAYJOB's (currently private) Q4 plans... or did I accidentally leak that private information because no I'm _actually_ in the #general for _Javascript Geniuses Slacking Together_ community?

This is very cool. Two things I wish: * can it be a sidebar, instead or in addition to this popup? Then it could be up all the time, or how wide I want * I wish it did tabs across windows - this only finds tabs in the current window, but I have multiple windows of multiple tabs open on my machine. (So of course I can't find anything, yes...)

But this is very neat and exciting!!

coooool thank you!

Kodak was a wild place: trying to use a different calendar system internally (the International Fixed Calendar), the nuke reactor in the basement... just wild stuff.

What was the worst was the constant rejection, honestly. (I interviewed a _lot_ so it does track that I'd get 1-3 "thank you for your consideration but..." emails a day. But that didn't make it easier...)

I'm going to do a blog post on my job search in the next month or so, but for me it's been a _grind_ (that finally ended up with something, thankfully).

But sneak preview:

  * 100 applications
  * 54 first round interviews
  * 24 second round interviews
  * 10 third round interviews

Something like 94 total meetings (brief numbers here don't include 4th-6th rounds...), maybe 10 (?) "virtual onsites" of 3-6 hours, maybe only 4(?) takehomes, maybe 6 (?) Hackerrank projects.

I got a lot of at bats, and a lot of "swings and misses".

In general at least one place said that while they are hiring like nonsense (average desired growth at companies was 211% in the "forseeable": because I asked then aggregated them all in my spreadsheet) they apparently have a lot of candidates in the pipeline. So if you're kind of confusing because you're super senior and have done everything ??? maybe they get confused, and just say, "next!".

Out of the 4 external recruiter places I used, 2 were good at finding me excellent potentials that seemed to be enthusiastic about me and have short hiring funnels. By then I was wrapping up later stages with a place I found myself, and got a verbal offer, but I kind of suspect if I had leaned into external recruiters earlier I would have had a better experience / not feeling like I was spamming places with my resume.

Yes thank you. I know what I'm going to say goes against the millennial / Protestant Work Ethic hustle pr0n... but not _everything_ needs to be monetized. (Given a comfortable base salary. Hustling side projects or side gigs because you're not making enough money is another thing...)
