Got my current role from Who is Hiring post. Been 2+ years

FWIW I've started getting messages from recruiters since last week. As others have said, the market is just not in the right place for now. How about directly applying via their we…

Im a 5G Google Fi user (Pixel 7) in Boston (I live in the city) and its honestly trash. There have been so many times where it says 5G but there's actually no network (maps keeps u…

If you're a Garmin device user, the app is pretty good! I only recently started using their app more often and barring the social aspects, I dont think Strava offers me anything mo…

Yes! At my current position from a post made in the Who's Hiring. Been here for over a year

Culture-wise? Pretty boring TBH. I've worked in 2 startups and this company, hence the opinion. Work was very slow paced, lots of processes to follow and not experimental with tech…

Power Systems or certain companies in the healthcare space? I was working in a company making software for utilities and oil & gas companies (think competition to GE, Siemens etc).…

I'm curious, what field of work is this? And what kind of jobs more importantly?

Yup, there were several tricks like these! My father used to travel a lot and paying for roaming was expensive. So when he was available to speak, he'd just give a missed call at a…

I'm with you on trying to have minimal notifications. I have one personal email configured only for important mails, phone is set to vibration only since years (TBH I don't even re…

I switched to a Garmin Instinct a few months ago. My Charge 2 died and I wanted something with GPS and decent battery life. I charge my watch every 10ish days (I pair it with my ph…

I too was planning on applying to them in the next few days. But I will first find out who exactly is being cut out. This article says that its some support staff (I assume these a…

I doubt that was the intent at the time. Sure they'd be looking for ways to monetize, but could the co-founder in 2012 have predicted what FB as an entity would become ~10 years la…

Welp, I don't know German at all sadly! The idea you mentioned in the original comment is certainly helpful though. Something to chew on, so thanks anyway :)

This is actually good advise! Could you link the podcast episode? I've had a hard time with some of my hobby projects, but now I think my approach could be very different. The ones…

Are you behind a VPN? I wasn't able to read this through my company's VPN but have no issues from my home network.

I generally ride on on trails, but to save time to drive to trails, I've started riding on roads since about 4 months. Behavior of some riders surprises me, they'll switch between …

Abebooks is my primary source of buying books! Its especially good for me, since I'm not originally from the US and its the cheapest way to get publications in my native language f…

I see just one too. In the US

Yeah I agree with this. They were in top form and the crowd obviously helped. Anfield is massive for the team with supporters around. But after having such a long break due to the …

Completely agree with this! One thing I like to do is break any task to smaller pieces and then achieve those goals. There are some times when I'm really excited about something an…

Despite the reputation, the app has over a billion downloads. That's what amazes me the most!

Genuine question: Do Reddit mods get paid for being mods? Someone here posted a link to all the sub-reddits in question. These see so many posts generated all day. Im actually curi…

I'm a regular on r/formula1 and I've always wondered how that user has big announcements in before everyone. That user even posts some really interesting videos and insights, but I…

Oh I agree with you. I work for a company making software for utilities. Our company policy doesn't allow working remotely at all! Engineers (not developers) need to work on system…
