Do you have any QA experience? Feel free to shoot me an email with your resume or Github/LinkedIn, and I'll send back a few openings I know of right now if it seems a good fit. My email is in my profile. Wishing you well on your j

Sadly I totally agree with you, it is true. There is a social element to that equation though, which is why management in this particular type of situation has the tendency to so often turn into a "cool club" of people who do ever

Makes sense - I specifically want some darker shade of blue or purple, but that's because I want the window to match the colors from my brand palette, and not just be grayscale. The dark/light definitely look good on most palettes

This is awesome! Would love the ability to alter the background of the window beyond light & dark.

Agreed! It's a business problem. It's not a problem of the employee to shift their mentality to suit the demands of their employer. People want to do a good job though. Hence why there is onus on the employer to provide work-life

Awesome work! Love the stack. How does this compare with Supabase?

Well said, totally agree. Thank you for explaining the more nuanced points here better than I could. IC-level contracting or consulting gigs are often (not always) much more numb - you’re handed a design, a user spec, maybe some existing AP

Very much agreed. You have to do what is in your control as an employee. If it’s a cultural problem, that usually means your best bet is to simply find a team with better culture. Culture is a hard problem to solve if it’s not right.

Agreed! Is it black and white? No of course not. You can and need to learn how to properly transition between work and home. It takes time. Totally agree with you. It’s nearly impossible to do when your employer is not on that same page wit

Copying part of my reply to another comment: If my manager hits me up at 11pm asking for something, sure I can ignore him or her. Then I come in the next day, they already did the thing they asked for themselves because [insert business rea

> the ability to leave work at work is a personality trait. the job, or type of job, has little to do with it. This is very ignorant. There are many outside factors that go into if an employee needs to focus on work after hours, such as

Ok, I hear you. However, I cofounded a medical startup with 3 surgeons, seeing their day to day routine pretty closely, at their offices, at home, etc... And they definitely worked around their own schedule. They either owned their own prac

I have news for you buddy... That’s exactly what they do.

You can’t commit a fitted pipe to the company repo at 2am on a weekend. You also can’t be pressured to. Well you can - but we would instantly recognize that one for what it is - ludicrous!

This - the mental overhead of a software job is not something that is easily turned off during non work hours - especially with a pushy employer or coworkers with no work life balance themselves. You can’t cut steel at home after dinner no

Same thing was happening to me - LinkedIn has a solid deceased policy. I submitted a request with a link to a public obituary, and less than 24hrs later their page was gone. Bittersweet, I’ll miss seeing them pop up now and then, but also w

Agreed yeah, hence the loose question. I’d assume this is a less formal scenario of oh, we have cafeterias, you’re welcome to eat there, but this isn’t some formal stipend. Makes sense, more curious on if that changes GP’s position on the t

Totally agree with what you’ve said. Sure yeah, if you’re getting the equivalent of overtime or time-and-a-half, ok, it may become worth your time and like you said you are getting compensated for the extra effort and sacrifice. But the aut

If your engineers are working on weekends, for normal projects and deadlines, then you have a serious culture and process problem. On-call engineers for high risk projects and deployments are another situation and not the norm. The only lea

That implies then that there will indeed be weekends where your boss expects you to work, your spouse is working, you cannot, and therefore you “fail”.

Thank you

Agree and disagree. Without pushing a point too hard, I will ask you this - what if your employment contract states you are to receive $X,000 per year in food or food stipend? Would you be in favor of employees pushing for subsidized food w

I mean, they took a sample of the sub, and that is what they found (see their notes on data collection process done via Reddit Chat) Regardless, I agree with you, the groupthink is the issue here - I do think it is telling though, that it i

Great link, just the type of thing I was curious about, thanks. In regards to the content: Point 1 is a bit exaggerative, maybe more so in 2021 when everyone is familiar with the concept of “adding a friend”. Point 2 is no longer an issue d
