Having been in this situation before several times, the only real option is to quit and find another job. You can't fire your boss -- unless they are doing something egregiously illegal. You can't go around them, and you can'

In the spirit of your question, I run my side business from my personal mid-2016 Macbook, and total revenue so far is over $1M (over many years). It's probably time to upgrade to a new Macbook. :)

Well, the explicit goal of NaNoWriMo is word count, not quality. You aren't wrong in your analysis, but NaNoWriMo is not the event through which you write complex stories and spend a ton of time thinking about each scene. It's pre

Individually? I use Reddit less than ever. For context, I was an avid Apollo user. I still check it occasionally, but much less than I used to. Several of the smaller subreddits that I used to frequent have effectively died and moved to oth

This is 100% the correct answer. I've spent a lot of time brainstorming ways to take on Goodreads, and this is the moat that I can never seem to cross.

My advice as a manager is as follows: 1) You always have time for tests. Your estimates should include tests and testing. If someone asks for a feature and you think it would take 3 days to test, half a day to write tests, and half a day to

Well, certainly, but just to be clear, I wasn't assuming you had 260K cash. I didn't add this in my original post, but a small business loan wouldn't be too hard to get to do something like this, and so there's little-to

This is probably not the answer you're looking for, but you might consider buying an existing business and doing that. You could check Loopnet for some ideas. For example, in the Denver area (just to pick a random place), there's

The funniest story about TIHYLTTW is the story if Bigolas Dickolas on Twitter, who hyped up the book and it went viral years after it was released. Here's a blog post on Tor.com about it: https://www.tor.com/2023&#x2F

Yes, absolutely. The US Census has a report on vacancy rates here: https://www.census.gov/housing/hvs/files/currenthvspress.pdf Table 3 has a section called "Vacant - Held Off Market" which shows th

This isn't really a great metric. The majority of vacant homes have been vacant for less than a year, which typically means the vacant homes are either being renovated, newly constructed and have yet to be sold, or seeking rent. Some d

Job hopping is the best way to improve wage growth, as others said. I will paraphrase something an old boss said to me, which is that the fact that you're asking about ways to improve puts you heads and shoulders above most people. The

This feels like you're measuring lines of code as productivity, but most experienced engineers would disagree that lines of code is a good metric. Am I misunderstanding your assertion?

IMO, the thing Goodreads has that nobody else is automatic updates from a Kindle. When I finish a book on my Kindle, Goodreads automatically tracks it. It doesn't seem possible for Story Graph or Bookwyrm or Librarything or any of thes

Generally speaking, B2B involves contracts which guarantee business for a certain period of time. Churn won't be zero, but it's not going to happen on a whim, like a B2C Netflix subscription would. You can lock in 10K/mo for

One piece of advice I heard was to try and build something. You will inevitably run into a problem you can't solve easily. Throw away your initial idea, and work on solving that problem. Repeat this process until you think you have a b

Therapy. Lots and lots of therapy. A few years ago I had what you call a life event, and it hit me so hard that my boss and my boss's boss both independently pulled me into a room to ask if I was okay, because otherwise I was a very hi

I've worked for four different companies that had PTO. At each one, I would basically take somewhere around 4-6 weeks off per year, depending. As a Director-level, I encourage everyone to take vacation whenever they need/want to,
