    Had my Model Y for 4 years with no issue! Funny enough, my 2007 BMW had so many issues and cost so much to maintain i used to call it a “wallet burning machine”

    100% agree with this, especially the part about slowing down code reviews. Don’t be condescending but give your opinion directly, asking if it makes sense. I personally like “what …

    100% agree with using night shift/flux. But having a monitor on in the dark, even if I use flux/night vision and even with low brightness physically hurts my eyes compared to just …

    +1000 on this. When I was younger I would work for my employer on the weekends/late nights to try to get ahead. Did that for so many years. I only gave myself a little bit of free …
