I think small teams, one on one collaboration, and interesting projects are key. It’s hard to get to know folks when sitting on a big zoom call, but I find working one on one works well for developing a bond. Once you spend many hours over

Curious, do the members of your team have activities, hobbies, and relationships they are involved with outside of work? From what I have seen the folks itching to get back to the office are the ones that don't have many outlets outsi

I would love to see stats on religious prevalence and incidence of crime, homocide, etc. My guess is that such stats won’t put religion (especially Christianity) in a favorable light.

Same thing here. It's much easier to demonstrate competence for an afternoon of interviews than for a few years of real life projects.

Nice, I was genuinely curious about this, and it seems like a solid strategy!

This. Curios to hear about people's experiences owning an EV without access to a charger at home.

Even if your schedule is flexible, other people's schedules aren't. This means that if I want to shift my schedule to wake up earlier to take advantage of the morning light, I either have to miss out on evening social activities

Hey now, I never said I wanted anything! But it's hard to believe that removing the elites from power is going to be a simple reform. The most powerful, established and connected people in government aren't going to simply walk

A few things here: 1. Background check companies usually only contact the positions you list to verify your dates of employment and title. They probably won't contact a job you don't let them know about. 2. If it helps you sleep

"When I started my second job search, I was worried that the short tenure in the job I was trying to leave would be a turn-off to perspective employers. In reality, however, it wasn’t a big deal- people asked about it, but seemed satis

I would say that Trump's ability to convince people he is knocking down the elites, and instead using the office to benefit both his elite self and his elite inner circle is his greatest hustle, but actually, its quiet an ordinary move

They forgot the most important rule of Core Data - just don’t use it!* The amount of problems and nuances it creates is simply not worth the functionality it provides. *If your app manages huge amounts of records on the device, then it mig

As a counterpoint, for a project of decently large size on my 2019 MBP, IntelliJ is snappy and a delight to work with, while Xcode takes up 30 GB of space, takes minutes to boot up, and gives me syntax highlighting and autocompletion about

To be fair, if you unit test your objects, there are usually two implementations - the real thing and a mock. If you have a solid mocking framework, that can alleviate this need.

As a non smoker, I've always found the actual smell of a burning cigarettes to be sweet and attractive. I think this is because some of my earlier memories are being a little boy waiting for the bus in freezing cold Russia, and seeing

What’s wrong with the new 1x gearing? It’s pretty standard these days in mountain and gravel bikes. As long as the back cassette has a varied range you don’t lose too much gearing while getting the benefit of a simpler drive train, less ma

(My opinion should be taken with a grain of salt because I am a grumpy, antisocial basement dweller) We tried something like this at my work. The few days it was happening were some of my least productive in a while. Doing work while havi

Just out of curiosity, how long have you been in Bend? My wife was born and raised in Bend and left in her mid 20s. Due to our out of state license plates and IDs she gets a fair amount of "please don't move here you out-of-state

We are doing something similar on my project except using the J2OBJC compiler. The compiler is a cumbersome, unwieldy tool, but the cross platform approach overall is great. We write the core logic of our app using the cross platform appro

Same story here (parents came to the US with 3 kids (I was 9)) and struggled to support us (initially by being dishwashers at the local buffet). I got a good college education and have a cushy software gig. Now I sit on my butt all day dri

For me, personally, part time work would be the dream. I used to contract and would do year long projects and then take large multi month breaks between. Neither "mode" was optimal. Work periods are obviously stressful and its h

I think for part time to be successful it has to be the right environment. Contract work seems perfect - you are focused and have a singular mission. I can also totally see working on a personal project 20 hours a week and being super pro

The agility is still there, its just buffered a bit. This is really useful for concentrating. If you are in a small startup with obvious goals, I don't think you need sprints. If you are in a large organization and are constantly be

One thing that I didn't realize I loved about sprints until I went to a place without them is the guarantee what for the next two weeks, your priorities are set, and aren't changing unless something very unexpected happens. Having

Interesting article. We use a similar approach for our mobile apps to allow multiple teams to develop their own modules independently. Can anyone speak to what the advantages and disadvantages to such an approach are as opposed to going fu

The problem with Apollo is that if you use it for server queries, you are basically forced to use it for local state management as well. This is because server state and local state is usually intermingled, so its not practical to have a Re
