I'm pretty lousy at asking people what they feel, my job role, thankfully, has an optional people management component, I've opted out. However a mandatory (welcome) part of my role is mentoring, coaching, call it what you will.

I agree, empathy is a bit fake, you have to guess and I for one will do my very best to guess what others are thinking and feeling, but at the end of the day, being in someone else's shoes is a guess. Compassion is entirely solid thou

Don't be me - at work c. 2001 - heard about a colleague who was "vegetarian" but ate fish and sometimes chicken... I wanted to create a pseudo-scientific name for this way of eating. I was thinking something along the lines

HR data is necessarily controlled though, there are pretty stingent controls in law around that. I understand the pain of not being able to report on stuff, but there is probably a sound reason. However, the delivery you describe sounds l

I love perl because it's fast, but it definitely follows the WORN pattern. Write Once Read Never. No matter how many commnets I leave for future me, it's always a voyage of discovery reading my own code, forget reading anyone el

Horrible idea. I'm on holiday at the moment, didn't bring my headphones - don't often use them, but on flight and occasionally lazing by the pool would have liked to listen to my audiobook. I decided to get a new cheap pair
