I’m in Pittsburgh but didn't end up applying anywhere local. I was looking for remote-friendly positions to keep things flexible due to an upcoming move, which definitely limited my options. Out of the 50 or so companies I looked into,

I can't help but feel like I lucked into easy mode given the general consensus that everything sucks right now. Applied to 10 places (mix of FAANG and small startups) after taking a year off from work. Heard back from 5, somehow got of

Another vote for Pocket Casts. The only thing I dislike about it is that the search feature can be janky at times, especially when it comes to non-English languages. No complaints other than that.

I suppose this is a bit of a special case but the US and Canadian governments both require you to provide the full list of trips from the last ten years when applying for citizenship and permanent residency. Timeline is incredibly helpful t

Where did all of these people even come from in the first place? Did the industry just have 50-100k at-least-somewhat-qualified people sloshing around doing nothing before they got picked up by FAANG?

- I look up the dates for when security updates will stop, and add a reminder to change phones before then. - Turn off notifications for everything.

The amount of pedantry and over the top literalism in your comment gave me an aneurism.

Words don't have to be used literally. Everyone knew exactly what the original poster meant by democracy. Well-actually'ing on obvious things like this is just tiresome.
