Happy New Year from SoCal!

2022 saw my net worth decrease by 90 percent as my newly ipo’d company's stock tumbled.

Hoping the new year brings some better results!

Jira works well for my organization. I think the simplicity of our setup is the key. We have just 4 issue statuses: Not Started, In Progress, QA, Done… also no restrictions on state transitions. Any status can move to any other status. Each team gets their own project so that they can easily manage their own issue backlog. That’s pretty much it. My team also uses a plug-in for async planning poker which is useful.

The API documentation for one of our partners is a SPA that never should have been. There is no way to share a URL to a specific piece of the documentation because all navigation is handled in JS.

If you had something typed as `any` and the value was `null` it would be possible to encounter an issue

Yes assuming you are in strict mode, but not true otherwise.

I actually feel like covid lockdown has had the opposite effect on me. Many of the things I enjoyed doing have been made impossible or much more difficult, so it feels like all I am left with is striving for work accomplishments.

I found the feedback from my Triplebyte rejection to be very helpful in directing my preparation for other interviews. It helped me get a job offer 3 days later from just the type of company and role that they screen for.

H1B and H2B are two different visa programs. The H2B program which is discussed in the article is designed for short term seasonal workers.

I was a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) before I became a software developer, and I would just like to emphasize that the benefits mentioned can be realized from some pretty simple exercise routines. The keys are to perform them consistently and to progressively increase the training load so that you are constantly providing a stimulus that your body must adapt to.

Adding additional facts is valuable. To continue your India example, they have pledged to reduce emissions 33 to 35 percent of 2005 levels by 2030. So yes, they may increase their coal production, but now I know they are also taking other steps to reduce emissions.

There is no reason that the revenue generated from this could not be used to fund more public transit.

I attended a coding bootcamp 3 years ago, and this was a major concern of mine going into it. The instructor had only taught one small class previously, so there was not much of a track record to trust. I spent quite a bit of time researching the instructor's background and speaking with his former students. Even with all that, there really was no way of knowing going into it whether it would deliver what I was hoping for. Ultimately I decided the risk of losing my $3k was worth the potential upside of a career as a software developer. Luckily, it worked out.
