While I’m sure that used to the case, that is no longer really the case with the Masons. You can find out and read through all the different ceremonies and rites online.

Unfortunately I have found that a really good Product Manager is an extremely rare thing. However the best organizations and teams I have worked on have always had strong product management. There seems to be a general lack of education and

The answer is yes, and no. There are definitely a lot of the large tech companies who plan on being back in office. They are at various stages of how they are enforcing it. There are also a number of large tech companies that have committed

It’s not about forgetting. I don’t forget my friends, but at the same time life happens. Kids, work obligations, relationships. It’s easy to forget to reach out to friends or acquaintances. Easy to underestimate when the last time you made

I cannot speak so much from the C# side of things. But Azure is by some measures the fastest growing cloud right now. With some analysts projecting it will overtake AWS eventually. At my current company we utilize both AWS and Azure, but ar

I honestly have never seen my login to Facebook expire. Even without enabling the remember me checkbox after logging in on iOS safari the login is valid forever unless I clear the cookies. I have never seen that level of brazen disregard fo

One piece of advice. It is easy to start with an existing team, product or company and immediately find things that in your opinion are done “wrong”. One of the fastest ways to alienate yourself is to come in with a sledgehammer and start t

Seems like a good step. Last year had to have a medical procedure done by an oral surgeon. For some reason there are no in network oral surgeons when it comes to medical insurance. Paid a significant amount up front. Painful but thought tha

This seems like a positive for the legitimization of cryptocurrency. Of course if you were trying to use it to avoid paying taxes you may feel otherwise. Hopefully it leads better forms and adoption by exchanges to provide useful tax docume

One thing I find interesting is that individual contributors always seem to feel they are more productive when WFH. But at least anecdotally the upper management I have talked to in tech companies are saying that WFH has dropped productivit

Is this really a shock? As far as I know Google never said anything about remote work being the new norm. Certainly some other tech companies like Twitter made more bold statements. But they are in the minority. Seems like most of the large

I wonder how much of this is Nvidia getting pressure from the Gaming industry to do something about it. As far as Nvidia is concerned they are selling as many units as they can produce, so it is a gold rush for them. The gaming industry I a

If you are going to transfer your stock just make sure you are transferring it to a broker that is self clearing. Or at the very least make sure the broker doesn't use Apex. Which has a long history of being terrible.

I actually find with all the information that is available to consumers these days through various websites and forums that it is very easy to take advantage of the current system in your favor. It’s important to remember with new cars ther

Ultimately a manager is judged by his/her superiors by their ability to get the most value out of the teams which they are in charge of. So as a report, frequent communication with your manager discussing whats going well, what can be

So there is no doubt that the current WFH situation has decreased productivity in general at the large tech giant I work at. It is definitely not across the board, some teams have adapted to it better than others. Some teams are having issu

Yes 100% agree. That was what I was saying. Maybe you meant to reply to the parent.

I don't know, I think the tomatoes you find in Italy are far superior to anything I have found in the US. I still dream of the bruschetta in Tuscany.

Unfortunately a lot of the comments are mixing together leadership with management. These are not the same thing. Some of the best technical leaders I have had the pleasure to work with were not managers. As a developer gets older and has

I wonder the same thing. A lockdown cannot be done in perpetuity and I think even 90 days would be too long. So the best bet is a lockdown while we ramp up the healthcare system to deal with the outbreak as best as possible. At some poin

The problem is that certain industries now just assume they will be bailed out during crisis. The airline industry, the financial industry. It’s almost baked into their mode of operation at this point.

I have been going to AA for a while now, mostly because it is the only type of group meeting regularly available. The part that I cannot come to grips with is not so much the recognition of a higher power, but the fact that you have to bel

Your “average investor” should be in stocks for the long term. Only speculators should be concerned with short term declines.
