Can attest to this experience as well. When I was in high visibility roles in start-ups, I dreamt of a place where I could fall through the cracks and kind of breathe -- or at leas…

I worked in Texas for a stint, and completely understand what you describe here. However, don't look to the PNW as a place it's any better. Both Oregon and Washington are at-will s…

This definitely resonates with me as well to an extent. However, I've identified the core issue being related to where I'm working, and not so much the career itself. I'm in my ear…

My teenage/early 20s self is triggered by this bug report. Luckily I evolved and switched to Debian haha

That's definitely something that seems to be reiterated often -- the power of networking is real. You'd think after hearing it since high school (some time ago, not gonna date myse…

I'm five years into my career, and still experience this same kind of anxiety. Only recently did I revisit algorithms as I'm getting serious about my job search now, and am still s…

You might also look into exakat and phpstan. I can speak to the quality of exakat (my preferred static analyzer), where phpstan comes in as a close second. This one also looks dece…

I have a couple. Both were from before I stepped into web development, and was a graphic designer. The first has to do with Fiverr -- most freelancers are aware of the waste of tim…

Let's talk drag racing. It's a basic activity, but one that takes years to master and offers the opportunity for consistent improvement. First things first. You need a car. Prefera…

This resonates so much. In a very similar boat myself. A near four year old and near two year old, and a partner that is not as outdoorsy as myself makes for incredibly distracting…

They offered me nearly the same kind of raise over the position I was in before it. The first company I worked for paid me $36k/yr. Given I don't have a degree, and it was the firs…

"Making ends meet was sometimes a challenge, which made me very salary-sensitive and averse to the risk of income disruption." This. I think a large chunk of society forgets that a…

This was exactly why I left my previous position. Place was great to work, brilliant team, laid back culture. But refusing to give me an annual raise, on top of paying me below mar…

While the content itself is just another round of "I deleted X for reasons I, J, K," I certainly resonate with you mentioning commenting less. As with the barrier to entry to any t…

Congratulations! And thank you for posting this. These kind of stories are inspiring and feed motivation.

You know, it's hard to say. I've never been in the position where I have both investors, and several thousand employees to answer to; let alone having to dictate who's going to get…
