You have management experience. Your competitive advantage isn't your stack: it's your ability to understand context. There will be plenty of jobs in anything in the top 10: apply to all of them and if you get a bite, learn enough

Note: remember I am condensing the real work into a few paragraphs. Of course I know it's much more nuanced than I am making it here. This is a surface level treatment. Also note: Most managers end up doing a lot of part time jobs, of

So, it's a bit more than that. Let's say I've identified someone that I can't figure out what they're doing. They're just going slower than I expect given what I understand of the work. (I was a professional pr

It's not about cleaning. It's about the increased amount of oil needed to prevent delicate foods like eggs and fish from sticking. That adds cost and calories.

I think it's worth looking at the people taking it. While there is definitely nutritional education that needs to happen in behavior intervention, the key benefit to Ozempic is that people talk about it "turning down the food nois

There are multiple confounding factors: * Blood sugar levels (or whatever this is a proxy for) * Weight * The changes the GLP-1 Agonists make to the body itself. While it is simple to say if you reduce the weight, you reduce the blood sugar

I saw a bunch of people who had the skills to get a job take months to get one in 2023 and 2024. I've also seen people who think they have the skills to attempt a startup that did not. All it takes is a downturn at the wrong time and a

You're right, though in this case I was just typing quickly and didn't double check the analogy after reading the post. :) I have found that a bad network is often worse than no network in that the type of people that work in a wa

It all comes down to the consequences of failure. If failure means homelessness, avoid failure. If failure means you lose your one chance in your life of completing a marathon, be conservative. If the difference between failing and succeedi

That only works for a subset of music. It works well for electronica. It works less well for singer songwriters.

That project misses the forest for the trees. What matters is that I have a setup I can buy that just works. Applications behave consistently. I don’t have to worry that some major software isn’t compatible. That’s a much higher barrier but

BTW, I had some major heart palpitations on SAM-e. It may have been tied to Vitamin B-12 but that was a hypothesis. Just make sure to talk with your doc.

Maybe, just maybe, you're mixing cause and effect. If you treat developers like house painters, they will not give you more. They will build the spec that you give them, and hold their tongues when they know it's a bad user experi

Yes, and rounding currency is just something that is always handled, as is the number of places that you take a currency out to - for example, gas is often priced at thousandths of a dollar rather than hundreds but presented to the customer

I think there's a good reason for it to be part of a library. The problem with currencies is much like dates: they're a social construct, and change more than most of the social constructs we embed in programming languages. I don&

Whey protein concentrate and isolate need to be separated out. If you don't have digestion problems with milk, whey concentrate is cheaper and tastes better. I need isolate or I fart something silly.

Different problems have different solutions. You likely mostly had very simple business logic in 90% of your system. If your system is automating systems for a cross-domain sector (think payroll), you're likely to have a large number o

I think there are three use cases: 1. You are temporarily moving to a place outside your local area, or to a much smaller place. I was moving around for a year and a half, so I left my furniture and non-valuables in a storage unit until I w

Vegas is about entertainment because it brings people to the rows of slot machines. And ideally, from their perspective, traps a handful of whales from every cohort.

The person reviewing the first pass of resume and the person you are actually working for may be three people removed. If you intend to work for companies less than 50 people, this is a good strategy, but it will fall apart past that. That

The thing is that he also finished stuff. The goal is to avoid analysis paralysis and "just try it" instead of keep thinking about it. It's a bias toward action and rejecting sunk cost.

How big is the jazz band? If you have a small jazz band, that's fine. If you have a big band, you need someone to organize logistics. Somebody to book events. And if you're trying to make a profit, you might even need to adapt you
