Education would be her preferred landing spot, it just doesn't seem viable for the work/life balance she's aiming for. Customer success roles are definitely on the radar, just getting through the resume filter has been tough.

Haha we've talked about this, but her interest couldn't be farther away from software. I have another family member doing something similar right now.

It's helpful to know that the stuff she's applying for has worked for others you knew! She's also looking for instructor-adjacet corporate stuff. Getting the interviews is definitely the hard part right now. We're pretty

It's pretty crazy. My wife went the grad school route on the way here, not sure there's any willpower left for more of it haha. Good luck to you guys

I've edited the end of the post, thanks for the feedback. You're right that I can kinda mushing things together.

She's been focusing on those types of roles, but I worry she's not getting through due to not having experience with specific tools they use (e.g. Adobe Captivate). It feels to me like if she can just get someone on the phone she&

This is definitely in the top 10 funniest things I've read on the internet. The fact that they reluctantly answered the question is incredible.

On mobile, but I was kinda shocked to see it when I lived in Pittsburgh. Google “Obama Academy Pittsburgh” for one example, but I was not at all alone in the area.

I think you're missing some significant details. The NYT did a really good episode on it last week: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/02/podcasts/the-daily/george... TL;DR When a cop is fired the

Splitwise might work for you. I've used it for parties that multiple people contribute to. Everyone just adds what they've spent and at the end you click a button to "settle up". It's not really a budgeting app, tho

I've been doing the same for only 4 months and I can feel a lot of similar feelings beginning to set in. I have no idea how you managed it for so long!

As a solo founder, I doubt there are any other platforms that make economic sense to support, especially if it pulls effort away from the real money makers. Depending on the market, Linux wouldn't even make sense to support for most co

Quotes like that can be interesting because there's a opposing one: "If everywhere you go smells like shit, you should check under your own shoe".

Edit: This isn't a commentary on Peloton specifically, but all of the S-1 posts we've been seeing on HN recently. I wouldn't interpret this behavior as success per se. I think a significant motivating factor for going public

At work we have Office and I decided to give One Note a try. The note taking itself is awesome, but I kept running into an issue where copying and pasting would copy images of what I had highlighted instead of just the text of the notes...

That would have only carried weight for those who know who Dan Elwell is. He carries no weight with me other than apparently being "acting director of the FAA". The president, even if he's disliked by many, carries much more

As someone who works in healthcare software, I wouldn't interpret "Baby Boy" that way. Different hospitals process information in different ways and it is very common for newborns to all be entered under the same, generic nam

Things that are missing: 1. A group of pinned emails in one place. I can star things, and they end up in "Primary". But if I then go to the "Promotions" or "Updates" folder and select all -> archive the star
