   It's true. Telling people they can have everything does them such a disservice, because it strips them of the knowledge that these decisions exist. We all have to pick and choose where we apply our energies based on what we value most,

   My preferred hours used to be 730-330. The last place I was at the majority turned up around 930, and then milled about drinking coffee and chatting for the first hour or so.

   I don't think I've ever worked on a development team where you could book a meeting before 10:30am and expect the team to be there. I've always liked an early start for an early finish, I was one of the very few working early

   A guy that lived on the street down from mine used to ride his about at night, made my house shake. Was so happy when he seemed to move away.

   I like to start with DDG and then add a !g to the search if I’m not getting what I need.

    Agreed. As for the reason I’m on the comments here, it’s because this place selects for slightly more intelligent than average commenters and a community that does a good job and maintaining a reasonable tone. Everywhere else I run a plug-i

    I use it for that and home control stuff mainly. Turn off the heater, turn on the lights, etc. Sometimes I’ll set a reminder.

    I have found it to be somewhat awkward too. I’ve been using a headless Linux server under my desk recently and using remote vscode and shh to interact with it from macOS. Just the other day though the wifi just stopped working, nothing I di

    Ah that makes sense. I never had one myself, I’d moved over to a G1 at that point. But I do miss my old blackberry.

    I seem to recall the whole screen sort of clicking. I don’t remember why it did that though.

    Experienced something similar with mongo atlas today. Our primary node went down and the cluster didn’t failover to either of the secondaries. We got to sit with our production environment completely offline while staring at two completely

    It seems to damage most people's mental health. It's crazy the sort of radicalisation going on with older people.

    I've worked at a few large orgs, 100s sometimes 1000+ developers. If the majority of them did more than an hour or two of work a day I'd be shocked.

    The 1Password extension is way better now. I assume that’s due to this new support?
