I only know of small farmers who name their livestock, but that was back in the States.

Recently I decided to build the next version of my website by going back to the basics. http://kyle.simukka.com

Still unsure of what the content and goals are, but it has been a lot of fun to work on a very simple website.

Welcome to the club! I'm not sure if it's a good club to begin with, but at least the USA isn't alone with its current political status.

I'm interested in the root cause.

Console operations and architecture for HA is one of my current responsibilities. It's important to me that customers can depend on a functional, responsive, and stable console.

I think the console experience heavily influences the trust and overall customer experience of any service.

I haven't read the post yet, but I did read this comment and wanted to share some of my thoughts.

A real job can mean a lot of things to different people. For example, I consider my volunteer time as a board member at a non-profit organization to be a real job. Currently, It doesn't directly pay for my financial needs, but it pays in other ways.

I think that it's important to acknowledge, recognize, and respect people for who they are, and what they are experiencing.

The words we choose to use can have a significant impact.

I hope you enjoy your weekend!

I agree. The previous UI was much better.

Your future self might appreciate just a little documentation. I recently learned that lesson after taking a year off from side projects. I’m currently having to retrace my steps because I no longer remember any details.

Burnout is a complicated topic, but I think we can all agree that it has real mental health effects. Trying to solve for the symptoms is one approach, but it’s also important to understand why it happened in the first place. What motivated someone to work themselves to a state of burning out?

A therapist is one approach, and in my experience they will help uncover some of the inner workings to help you explore and understand maybe why it happened in the first place. They are like our rubber duck to help us debug ourselves. And with that information, we can start to make the necessary changes in our personal and professional lives so that we maintain a healthy work-life balance.
