I default to https://www.diagrams.net/ . But I've used Microsoft Visio in the past and it's a really nice solution (this was 3 years ago, so it might be better/worse now).

Burner emails on my own domain(s). When I apply for roles, I'll use an email address with an ID of some kind. Usually these are something like: * react@MY_NAME.com * webdev@MY_NAME.com * software@MY_NAME.com After securing a role, I&#x

You beat me to it! I'm interested in keeping this meme going (in the direction of the original article). Anyone else jumping on the bandwagon? Don't miss out -- this could be the next coinbase thread.

Throwing in my anecdotal experience. I noticed something very similar. About 25% of one-on-one conversations are now in Signal. Another 25% are in iMessage, which is a very easy sell for iOS users. I've had a terrible time with group c

Interesting question. Honestly, I've never had trouble finding problems to solve (in life overall). Maybe one day I'll have a problem deficit and will need to go looking. I try and focus on my most high impact problems and attack

Not directly related to the past year, but I had something similar happen a few years ago. The company I was working for had a fairly bad year (not "we're gone" but "we only grew 1% vs the usual 15-20%"). An email w

I probably should have been more explicit with my issue. This is the part that rustled my jimmies: > and in any case, Darwin did not have the mathematical ability to understand it.

by el_dev_hell 5y ago
I really enjoyed the article overall. The section on Darwin was an eyebrow raiser. It makes sense to include someone like Darwin (very interesting and well known), but he's not a great example to compare to "normal" people (l

> Also a weird tip is change jobs every 2 to 3 years. Companies tend to get less cushy and more process oriented over time. Hell is an agile sprint system that has been optimised to require 10 hour days.

Language is so interesting. You read the parent comment and took it as throwing shade. I read the parent comment and took it as pragmatic admiration.

Agree with? No. But I don't have a better alternative for many applications, so I'm onboard just based on that fact.

I'm one of those people that move jobs more often than you do (roughly once every 2-3 years). I prefer to arrange an in-person meeting with my direct manager. If that's not possible, Zoom/other video platform. If it's im

Agreed. As someone that lived in Cambodia where "tea" money (a nice way to say bribe) is very common. It was unsettling every time.

by el_dev_hell 6y ago
Yeah, I agree. Avoiding apologies is probably a good idea for the company. The part that stuck with me was the "acceptable" pseudo-apology. Not apologised at all comes off better than a backhanded apology IMO.

You're right about it being a tricky attempt at faking an apology. But the below isn't correct: > Right, so the company is saying "I will never acknowledge our mistakes because if I do we might have to fix them." I pr

> Apologizing just gives fuel for revenge. In this case I think because the harm done was so small, it was economical to apologize. Yeah, it's always a tradeoff. I worked at a non-tech fortune 500 for a few years and was able to see

Certainly possible (I'll report back if that's the case). I think the argument by @ddtaylor is more probable (that Twitter is using a "trust score" type metric to determine account suspensions).

Adding to the above, which is pretty accurate for a personal evaluation. Don't share that "math" with the employer during your negotiation.

Not to defend Facebook, but a failure to opt-out is not really the same as volunteering. I find the argument made by Facebook to be sound. They're making a comparison between Google crawling the web and indexing content vs. a news site
