Ordered. This is so cool. I also started looking at LeKiwi... I think I'm going to have to figure out how to make this thing mobile.

That's the best scam. Just say "Oh, ok. Thanks for the ride then!" and get out. It's either a free ride, or the reader magically starts working. They legally have to tell you the reader is broken before the ride. Once I

MSI is one of the best museums - you can often find free or heavily discounted tickets as well. Most employers in Chicago have access to a benefit program where you can get free tickets by scheduling in advance online. If you haven't b

In Chicago? Like, in the city proper and not the suburbs? I've lived most of my life in Chicago, and it's basically unheard of to get pulled over for a traffic violation. Lately, blatant disregard for traffic laws in Chicago has g

Sure. Belsomra seems to work the best for me (tried another drug in this same class, and the generic of Ambien I believe). The Belsomra class of drugs block 'wake receptors' vs. making you feel tired and putting you to sleep. Ther

If you have having issues with sleep, talk to your doctor about it. The last period of burnout I went through, sleep was a major issue. I could not sleep, no matter what. The stress and anxiety from work would keep me up or make me have tro

Interesting - is there any way to audit these courses if you're not an alum?

Exactly the same for me. I'm currently in the "I know I should be doing X but not being able to bring myself to" cycle on a piece of a major project. It's not hard work, I know how to do it, but I just cannot do it. I wa

Where would you start right now if you were starting to meditate with no prior experience, knowing what you know now with 15yrs of experience? I'm going to take what you recommend and run with it.

Why the move from 2XXk to XXk to 1XXk to move from recruiting to software dev? Why not build on that 2XXk?

This hits too close to home. I used to be able to learn new tech quickly, bang out tons of work, and be able to context switch / multi-task with ease. I can't bring myself to do my taxes. I feel it's only a matter of time unt

Interesting to see an insiders breakdown of the caste system. As an outsider, I've always though that SRE was #1, and SWE second. SRE has so much more knowledge area to cover than SWE... I've been thinking of interviewing for SRE

I personally love it. RTFM is pretty much the basis of my career. I always at minimum skim the documentation (the entire doc) so I have an index of where to look. It's a great jumping off point for if you do need to google anything. Bo

I was in a role that hit 1 & 2 for my first 'job' out of college in 2008. They told me that I couldn't go on vacation if I didn't finish my entire 2 weeks worth of work once... so, I automated all of it. A couple but

You seriously need to consider pulling the rip cord. Life is not worth being a miserable wallet.

A great metaphor I heard was that it's like you're playing blackjack, and have just placed a huge bet. You're cards are dealt. The pit boss walks up and says "this is a baccarat table now", but you have to keep play

I'm with you this. I still do work very hard and definitely too much, but I made a decision in my mid 20s to never let work stress actually affect me. Or, at least try not to. I think it actually helped me get promoted when working at

I second this. Something as basic as the simple and sinister program is all you need. Or HIIT-ish calisthenics if you don't have kettlebells. I know that weights are better than cardio, but cardio has major benefits for me that I can&#

Was the consulting company named after a type of gem stone? I had an eerily similar experience, that I also left after two weeks. The weirdest part of it all was the manager who was part of it all. She used to send a group chat saying she w

I personally know an engineer who started his own recruiting firm and is making much, much more money than he did as an IC engineer. He also has built a business that he can sell one day.
