It"s funny but also true? I have taken my coffee black for years now, having started because I wanted to just simplify my experience with it (among other things in my life). Not that my old coffee order was complex, but being lactose i

Someone should be held accountable for this. Nevermind the redacted stuff. I want to know who to blame.

It's exceptionally hard to find good executives due to nepotism and other problems with hiring them that result in the wrong people in charge of the wrong thing more frequently than not, though. So we need metrics., lest we get swept a

Does it have to be self-hosted? My sites, for example, are generally hosted on one of the various VPS services, some big and well known like Linode, others smaller like 1984.hosting. I move around too much to be worried about setting up ser

Many of the replies are saying something similar, so I apologize, as I am not trying to call you out, but to better understand; ask yourself why you need to know about the grandkid of someone you went to school with 30 years ago. So many of

I never said anything about not being responsible for my own career. There was a previous implication that we need to help the boss look good, which is BS. If I want to develop myself because I want to explore different options or expand my

I'm also in the same boat as both of you, but I'm not sure I agree with the idea that I need to do a bunch of extra work to prove some nebulous concept like "impact at the next level" or whatever buzzwoo we want to say i

I'm not trying to be combative, but that still seems like a very weak reason. And it's one that I used to use, not just with FB, but Twitter, IG and LinkedIn. They all held the same promise and failed to deliver it. The idea that

That's a strangely difficult question for me to answer, this being the first time I've been asked. What is your intention with it? You have me curious. Thinking briefly on my answer, I would argue (mostly with myself) that it is a

I mean, lets also avoid pretending there is zero overlap. I am an introvert largely because my brand of social anxiety causes me to function better in typically introverted ways. Introvertedness is a spectrum as opposed to something with c

Sadly, the grinning goon is often the reality of the situation. I grew up being treated as weird because I hated crowds and needed to rest after interacting with people. Externally, this got treated as me hating people and noisy places, whi

Ignoring the tone of your comment, I agree with you in a way, but I also wonder if that has something to do with where I live. The US suburbs don't really have what I would call "local stores," just big, well known corporate
