Did you inhale? Once I learned how to inhale I got hooked pretty quick. I do know people who can put them down whenever they want, but I wasn't one of them. The one good thing I got out of it was knowing what addiction felt like. I&#x2

I started smoking at 12 and got completely hooked in a week. I also tried several times to quit. I quit for 3 months TWICE and started back up. I finally got off cigarettes with Juul. I also don't recommend nicotine. You'll like

Yes, it's pretty common in my experience. Of course executive bonuses are granted based on short-term initiatives more so than long-term ones. When they finally reap what the sow, just blame dev. You don't get to be an executive w

A mentor once told me, "If you get frustrated, just go to the bathroom. When you are done, remind yourself you just got paid $10 to take a poo."

He didn't say clean code was bad, he said nobody cares about your clean code. I assume he meant outside the development department.

Something that surprised me is elementary and middle schools hardly do recess anymore. When I was a kid growing up in the 80s, we had 30 minutes of recess every day around 10am. We then had a PE class every afternoon. Kids have too much ene

A lot of people left big cities and states with heavy handed covid restrictions. Many came to the state where I reside and others.

I'm using ELEY Club rounds. I tried ELEY Match rounds but didn't notice much of a difference at 2.5x the price. It came with a diopter which I used for a little bit but swapped out for a Leupold 3-9 scope. I'll probably need

Yes, single shot 54 action target model. Beautiful wood. I usually shoot heavier rounds, but you can shoot that thing all day. Best trigger I've ever felt.

It depends on how important you are. If you are the director of sales, software architect, or something like that, it can be business destroying; particularly if some unforeseen emergency happens. An example is a new big client is suddenly

Not to mention, just about every position in an early startup is mission critical. I'd say 3 weeks off would be fine in the company I work at, but I'd be expected to be contactable and available if an emergency happened. We'r
