I've been working on a side project with 2 other people for a few months and i inevitably reach out to them to meet for an hour (which always turns into 2-3+ hours) to brainstorm next steps. I think this experience has taught me a lot

Knowing facts matters quite a lot imo, even if it doesnt 'seem' like it. To use another metaphor, you can't REALLY see the forest amongst the trees, if you don't consider the trees themselves. One of the reasons I like h

> $116k — Senior software developer yearly salary. Interns makes more than that in US. Not that anybody's hiring interns anymore, but that's not the point. Some interns make more than that. I highly doubt the median intern does

I live on the north side of Chicago and, to be honest, one of my favorite modes of public transit is the express buses that go from Edgewater/Uptown to downtown. It's MUCH faster than the train, because once it hits the highway, i

This is really neat - i especially like the heatmap, makes it very easy to immediately figure out what is actively being worked on, even in the regular file explorer view that said, I'm not sure i plan on using it long term - as someon

I hate to be that guy, but HR is one of the things I always point to as a perfect example of "A system's purpose is what it does" - HR's task is NOT with maximizing results/IC output - HR's task is minimizing c

> Do NOT get wet and cold. One thing i keep saying over and over, and few believe me, unless they know from experience - is that winters in Chicago are actually significantly more miserable than Minneapolis, where I went to college. Minn

he received his work permit a month before getting picked up? it sounds like he was here legally. Maybe not the whole time, i dont know that for sure! but certainly at least at the time he was picked up by ICE goons.

this actually seems like an reasonable technical solution to the non-technical problem that causes deprecations to be ignored in the first place Degrading performance exponentially (1ms, 2ms, 4ms, 8ms...) WILL create a 'business need&#
