While I can't comment on the stats, I do have a story. A long time ago I was working and living in SF. I had just finished work and was heading over to a nearby bar. I was waiting at a very busy intersection for the cross walk to signa

I remember having this realization as a kid. I was standing in my driveway and realized there was an unbroken road from me to the other side of the country (and beyond!). It was one of those the world is so big and so small moments.

Same here. I wrote a lot of code in my life but barely remember any of it. I do remember writing a 'madlibs' program as a kid and showing my family and being so proud. 100% the reason I'm doing what I do today is because of t

I actually visited Japan for the first time this year, amazing trip. While I can't answer I highly recommend https://www.reddit.com/r/JapanTravel/ as a source of research. Great information.

I really enjoyed this article. When I draw an architecture diagram, write documentation, code or really do anything at work I take a moment to try to make it look "nice". I can't explain why I do it, I just know when I look a

I honestly don't care about the whole API drama, but I've been looking to get off reddit for awhile now. I switched over to Lemmy and committed to a week of usage. It's rough around the edges but it works. I'm in. Haven&

I'll focus on your question of how to move into a management. Or at least, my perspective. To get into management, you generally need experience in management. I know that sounds silly but it's true. If I'm interviewing for a

This reminds me of a recent experience of mine. I was raised bilingual Greek and English (English is my primary language). For my entire life I heard both of these languages and use them both the same. What I had never heard, until recently

Years ago a friend of mine was considering a teaching job in North Carolina. She didn't want to travel alone so I agreed to come to keep her company. We got to the school, met the principal and he took us for a tour. During the tour I

One major difference is that Costco requires a membership. It seems like a bad actor could be effectively banned.

While I don't know you or your dog - imagine for a moment if you could talk to your dog one last time and tell them the regret you feel. Do you think they would want you to regret the end, or remember all the love before that day? In a

I have refunded a number of items on steam for a number of reasons and all it took was filling out some online forms and waiting a bit. While I never spoke to a person I never had an issue. Steam also has a posted refund policy: https:&#x2

I have mentored a number of software developers from just starting their career to a decade+ long career. Nearly every time I open the debugger to help them work through an issue I get 'what is this? Why has no one ever told me about t

This is not an uncommon feature. The word I have used for this is 'facets' (unsure if its correct or not). Look at Gap.com for an example. For example click on "Men > Shop All Styles" then click whatever 'facet&#

I actually just use dish soap. I do this with the most of my fruit/veg. Only takes a few moments and washes right off. Of note I do use no scent, fragrance free dish soap.

I love the concept of using text to create visuals. It greatly appeals to my sensibilities as a coder. The concept of being able to source control the data seems amazing in theory. What I found though was that once a diagram hits sufficient

A key point in your process is that you have a conversation before the homework phase. The last time I was job hunting I would be given homework without ever having a chance to talk to someone. I did that once, sent my work into an automate

I experienced something very similar when presented with glasses to slightly correct my vision as a child. I found the world too sharp and distinct. When I looked at a tree each leaf stood out, while my experience had been that there should

One point of clarification. One of my favorite things about running is spending that time socializing. I just slow down my pace and chat away. It's one of my most favorite activities.
