If you think you can afford to make a change and you have a clear goal, then you should take advantage of it before your life changes and you can't any longer. I had a major career…

My dad thought that his Facebook account didn't exist any longer because he got a new computer and hadn't logged into FB on it yet.

A smart phone is probably the most useful travel item, but I can also highly recommend an Aero Press for good coffee while on the road. I finally got fed up with bad hotel coffee a…

This might be a regional language difference, but do you mean maintaining landscaping, or growing vegetables? I agree with the previous commenter - just ignore the whole thing and …

You could mow peoples' lawns for a summer job

Is this no responses to 10+ applications or 10+ interviews? Sometimes companies just get a lot of responses and can't get through them all. I've helped sort through resumes at my c…

Oh this is an article about how someone else screwed up an airport? I was hoping to learn how to mess them up myself :(

I'll take a more extreme position and say that I think this would be totally horrible! I already hate how restaurants have QR codes for you to order your food from their app/site. …

This is a pretty serious line in the sand. My company has definitely hired many people without CS degrees (myself included). What field do you work in?

The way you wrote this could come off as kind of harsh, but this is a very valid point. If you're job hunting in the United States, you'll be contacting recruiters and interacting …

Yeah, I spent a period in my 20s fairly poor; I wasn't homeless or anything but I worked two jobs, didn't own a car, and had to exercise extreme discipline with my budget. I can ag…

The "cut back on spending" type suggestions are part of the solution, but can also sound a little condescending to people who are truly poor. As if money just appears in your bank …

Someone who actually knows how to fly the shuttle?

This is super entertaining, but it's an analysis of a TV show, not real research. It's almost cathartic to read, though not applicable to people who actually exist.

People just talk that way to make themselves sound smarter. If it's a remote meeting, turn off your camera so they can't see you rolling your eyes.

Throw salt over my shoulder when I commit directly to production lol :(

Whoever wrote this doesn't appear to have a solid understanding of English.

Just get your job done and make sure your coworkers know when you'll be gone and when you'll be back. You're right - you're human and need to get things done that aren't your job. …

I'll agree that slow pipelines are irritating, but you should really take the extra time and fix your e2e tests. In a project I was on recently, our e2e tests were extremely robust…

My company has let at least a couple people go since the start of the pandemic - people who would just disappear for hours, would spend hours/days working with very little to show.…

I'm not a researcher, but I do have some thoughts on this. Some managers assume that if they can't see you, then you aren't working. This is possibly true for some employees, but I…

I think the point here was about preferring one type of work over another, not actually about the income.

+1 for shark puns

I'm still very interested in the service, though, and I'll probably continue to check in on it.
