I know what you mean. Just gotta keep switching, I guess. My current job has me working short duration R&D projects, which seems to help.

I'm going gray and have been thinking about going the freelance/consultant route. Problem: Getting started without having to go to freelance sites and charge considerably less than what I can get as a FTE. I make a very comforta

I'm an introvert who now loves WFH. I've also been able to move from a city to a rural area. I never want to go back.

Taking the Americas was always the ideal way to win. Only three borders to defend. The Asia strategy hardly ever worked. Then there's my personal favorite once you know you can't win: "Turtle up" in Australia to drag t

Split a bottle of wine with the wife most days. That equates to 2-3 "standard" drinks per day I suppose. I find buying standard bottles of wine (versus boxes, 1.5L big bottles, etc.) exerts a certain amount of discipline. You&#

Same here, Ada2005 for the port. The simulator was originally written in Ada95. Part of what made it even less fun was the data was highly packed and individual fields crossed byte boundaries (these 5 bits are X, the next 4 bits are Y, et

Aw, man. Here I am working my ass off for The Man when such an easy, obvious, and apparently unchallenged grift is just right there in front of my face: 1. Find some cheap-ass white-label product and order a crap-ton of it. 2. List on ama
