I have personally never bought / donated anything from / to a cold-caller or a door-to-door salesman. At most it might pique my interest into doing my own research into the field/product and seek out the market leader on my o

I'm interested in more lit on the subject, but I never understood how anyone sells anything via cold-calling. I understand why SPAM works - because it has a very small barrier to entry and it works on the idea of converting a small fra

I have never in it's lifetime used Yelp. It has been plagued with shit like this from the beginning.

I do have an adjustable standing desk. I have tried days where the goal was to stand all day, but it just doesn't work out that way. Once I sit down and get in the "zone," the next thing I know the day is over.

I went from a pretty physically active job in facilities management to an IT role working from home about 3 years ago and have had a slew of physical issues that I think are related to sitting down 10+ hours a day such as sciatica. I real a

Okay - that makes a bit more sense, not having to list your involvement with a union.

by scrapcode 2y ago
That seems absolutely ridiculous to me... what am I missing? I can lie about my work experience in order to infiltrate a business and form a union?

I’m in a predominately administrative position for a large organization, with an education in development and a lot of freelance experience, but that’s just not the path my professional career took. Our system privileges are strict and I ha

Rails was fun but combined with the uniqueness of Ruby, RoR always felt a little "too magic" for me.

Yeah, I get that- I guess I meant more of my trade categorization. I don't really have a specialty. I really am just an "IT Guy" for a large org with a background in dev, so I'm seeked out for things that seem like that

This might be a different response, but I think about this a lot. From my earliest memories, I have loved technology and especially software development. I got involved in a very large low-tech industry early on and I now have the golden ha

In my experience, and I honestly haven't put much thought into this, but the 'marketing' behind math is pretty bad and I'm not sure if I have any good ideas. For kids like me, that quite frankly didn't give a shit a

I spent many of my days in the woods as a kid and would get terrible poison ivy/oak (I'm not really sure which one affects me the most, if not both) every year. I felt like I have kinda had "grown out of it" as I still s

I should have better hinted at my psuedo-sarcasm. I do find meaningful in-person interaction and collaboration are valuable for personal, professional, and mental reasons. However, the real beneficial interactions seem to happen only infr

The best setup is that my organization builds an office that is a 10-15 minute walk from my existing home and I come in whenever I want. And whenever I decide to come in, everyone else does too. Until that happens I guess I'll just hav

They stormed an exec's office building and held it hostage for 10 hours. Is it that surprising that they're getting terminated?

Unfortunately, this pet-owner energy mismatch extends to those who live in all types of environments. People will often seek a companion putting plenty of research into their looks, size, and how much they shed - without paying mind to the

Flipped the other way around, I researched what aircraft my local flight school had and started using sims with VATSIM before pursuing my PPL. My CFI was impressed with my radio acumen when I started and I imagine it saved me a good deal of

With certain requirements from large corporations switching from usage or license-based pricing to models such as charging per employee in the overall organization, it's hard to imagine it doesn't involve a little greed. It makes

I'm in the enterprise procurement world and it's mind-boggling to me how many software companies in the past two years have forced themselves to $0 revenue from us by trying to double (or more!) their already exorbitant prices.

I'm interested in learning this workflow... are there any YT examples that you know of? I just can't see how it would work in my head. Are you using the "Add" screen to constantly add cards using hotkeys?

The problem is that generally for the IC the risk to the physiological, safety, and security isn't worth the reward of what they would gain by opening up to management even if it were genuine.

I think you're asking a pretty profound question here, a. la "What is the meaning of life?" Not all of life's work has to be such a drudge. I would argue that you certainly have not won "the game" if nothing se

My first thought was something along the lines of "great to see these young kids doing this kind of work." Doing that math hurt my soul.

Kind of in the same boat - but I've found that just like this article mentions, there's nothing small enough that I have found that is always with me when needed other than my iPhone... so I've used that to justify getting th
