Excellent points and completely agreed. Social media has turned the private into the public. The old adage, don’t talk politics and don’t throw stones has been completely abandoned. We used to discuss these divisive topics within the contex

To counteract the obvious sense of loss that came from an official separation from my wife, I took up sketching, first in pencil and then in pen. It’s run its course so I have slowed down quite a bit. I am planning to take up photography ne

I take your point and agree that OP is writing from a place of privilege. His post is addressed to knowledge workers and people who could theoretically afford this type of existence. I'm sure just as Darwin was leisurely walking around

I started to notice I was getting less hits on searches related to .NET development for versions prior to .NET Core. I pessimistically assumed it was due to some concerted effort to reduce access to MS-related articles. I don't use Goo

These get more and more frightening as you go along. You shut down someone's business and you just casually mention you will re-enable them almost as if it is a favor? I'm sorry you are going through this.

There are a lot of risks to a rewrite of software. Doubly so when created in a silo. It pays to see it from the perspective of the company. Additionally, you either worked on your own time to do so or you worked during company time. If you

Truthfully, I was assigned one by the gym as I had little perspective on it, but I was clear about my goals and they assigned someone who had experience in helping clients reach those goals. I would say that you shouldn't feel strange

You are me, almost down to the word, but I am 41 now. At 38, I decided to pay for a trainer for a year and a half. At 40, just before pandemic, I was in the best shape of my life. Unfortunately, I let the stresses of pandemic and end of a m

For your life circumstances, is there an amount of money that is large enough to celebrate, but not so large as to be life changing? If so, then you can relate to the author's point, but for a different value of N. The author is speaki

I would start by kicking out the person who suggested this terrible idea. They are either naive or cunning. Either of those are dangerous for a new company. Beyond promoting a toxic culture, this will also result in people teaming up to pus

I believe that public service should be limited to 12 years. All public service. All of it, combined, and ever. Want to be a police office, and a senator, and president? You can, but all of those have to be limited to 12 (not necessarily co
