For the most part. Travel restrictions, no conferences, WFH preparations, etc. From a policy standpoint, we're alright. Have we considered what to do if our offshore contractors get quarantined and can't WFH? Not so much.

Used to use Chrome, now I use Brave for home & mobile browsing. At work I'm locked into "approved" browsers so I'm using Chrome. The only alternatives are IE/Edge.

Take what you want to learn and break it apart into core components. Break those up. Break those up. Get to a granularity where it doesn't make sense to reduce concepts further. Prioritize these bite-sized items. You don't have

I try to find micro-moments throughout the day at work, either sitting at my desk, alone in an elevator, in the bathroom, etc. Nothing serious, but a bit to regain focus & center during turbulent days.

Not sure the value or USP compared to all the other digital business card alternatives Edit: To be fair, it looks nice. Good work regardless!

I always start with a casual phone call to gauge their style and personality, and to gauge how well they understand the challenge. If it goes well and there's a spark, I reach out with a custom statement of work based on notes I took d

One I'm very interested in that I don't have the time or expertise to really tackle is single-lens photogrammetry (or photogrammetry in general). Right now there isn't a great consumer-friendly option that doesn't requir

For my day job, I'm not sure. I do software development for insurance. It's a very multi-faceted industry, more so than the average person would expect. From a tech side the biggest issue is updating old systems without breaking i

When I started my first consulting agency it was primarily focused on helping game devs treat their projects like a real business, which I witnessed was a common point of failure for indie studios. I reached out to my old Preproduction in G

I'm trying to do a bit of that, but it's understandably difficult. I have an easy day job time-wise, but even then I feel like I rarely do my best passion project work at home. Lately I'll wake up at 5 and work, go to the off

I was at a company for 6 months that started with 9 hour days and after 4 months turned to regular 10-14 hour days. The worst was a week of 10+ hour days straight, usually there'd be one "normal" day each week but something w

As a developer, practicing articulation and interpersonal skills has advanced my career more than any specific technology. I've gotten jobs because I was the most memorable and pleasant to be around, more so than explicitly being the s

I know a couple people who have very desirable Florida condos (as well as other properties) and each condo alone is doing ~2k. Granted that's day-by-day, not a monthly rental.

Depends how much money you can invest right now, how much time you have to spend, and how quickly you need to start hitting that $2000 mark. Need it now? Check out Craigslist gigs (help with moving, quick jobs, website help), or try flippin

I got an Ender 3 3D printer for last Christmas and while making gadgets and toys and gifts has been fun, it's fundamentally reawakened my interests in being creative again. I've learned new skills with silicone and resin, gotten b

I do 7/8 to 4 and usually eat at my desk. I'll work longer if needed but I'm usually twiddling my thumbs for an hour or two a day. Better than my last two jobs that encouraged 10-14 hour day minimums.
