Author here. The title is intentionally vague because I cover very different use cases (searching and language learning). Recently, I talked to many people in meatspace about these, and they generally found my ideas useful. So I am sharing

Somewhat related: if somebody is interested in King's story in more depth, I can really recommend Jonathan Eig's book from 2023, titled "King: A Life". Amongst many other resources, he has used the (back then) recently r

At work, I use the Inbox Zero strategy combined with Gmail's keyboard shortcuts. It's really powerful, a total game changer. The nicest thing for me is that I can easily keep track of not just stuff that I have to react to, but em

I don't really know what you mean by that. Yes, the salaries are tied to locations [1]. But I get compensated well above the average compared to doing the same job at other companies (including international ones) in my country (Austri

If you can be a manager of one [1], then absolutely, yes. If not, then I can imagine it being really frustrating a lot of times. Based on my past work experience, working at GitLab is more similar to being a freelancer in terms of freedom a

While the thing about unions is generally true in the European Union, universally it isn't. Take Hungary (where I am from) as an example. Trade unions there are practically non-existent. Most of them got destroyed by the state during t

Not much. Work as an employee until you build out a network big enough to rely on to get contracting jobs. It's faster if you work in professional services or technical sales roles as an employee already.

Ex-Microsoft, current GitLab employee here. The way you describe using Microsoft's tools in your company is pretty much how things worked at Microsoft while I was there 3 years ago. If you'd like to build a handbook similar to Git

My path was: engineer -> consultant -> solutions architect. All at different companies. I think it's more about character/attitude, rathen than only experience.

Yes, I have multiple scans of a semi-herniated (not fully herniated, but thinned and a bit bulging) disc in the lower end of my spine, but it's far from being in the state of needing surgery. My solution was (with the help of the book)

I drastically reduced the amount fat I eat, but I did that to accommodate my partner's new diet, not entirely voluntarily. :)

Understood! As I noted in my comment, the book I recommend also stresses the importance of the fact that most chronic back pain is "all inside yor head" and tries to give some relief by making you understand and ruling out most of

For my fellow chronic lower back painers out there: over the course of many years I tried many things (always staying in the confines of modern medicine). There's certainly no magic bullet, but finally this book (which I have no financ

Restic is a great piece of software. I use it for more than two years now to do encrypted backups of my home server into Backblaze B2. Took minutes to set up with a couple of lines of script, works like a charm since then. Highly recommende

Have you considered freelance consulting? If you are good, nobody will care about your age, since they are not bringing you in to be truly part of their team, but to solve a hard problem they cannot on their own. Of course it doesn't f

Yes, I switch every hour. Also, when I have a meeting where I don't have to present my screen, I always make sure to switch to my phone and walk around. That's another very important, but often overlooked exercise.
