   Yes, but the houses farther out are affordable because they lack those amenities. The same narrative plays out over and over again. "I can't afford a house with an easy drive to a supermarket and library, and I want to be carless.

   You'll miss your old life for a while, but then you'll get used to it. Then you'll start appreciating your new life and can't imagine going back.

   In the past few years, the software job market went from hot, to red-hot, to even hotter than that, back down to hot. I think people are comparing the current market to previous boomtimes which we all knew couldn't last.

   Funny, I also had to abandon Raven around that time for the same reasons and ended up using MartenDb years later. MartenDb is great and the community around it is excellent.

   I don't think it's like saying that at all.

   I agree with you, but there are a great deal of drug use metrics that have declined over time so maybe choose a different analogy.

   Good for you for taking a low-paid customer service employee to task for doing their job.

   Kids. I've gained much more focus and I live more in the moment. I also don't care as much about work things. Loads of technical debt, unsustainable roadmaps, weird coworkers, bad bosses, who cares?

    As an EM I'd advise you to consider if this person simply isn't outgoing or talkative. Some people are shy or reserved, some people are happy to follow and go with the flow. Trying to force a shy person to be outgoing can backfire

    I'm sure the commenter did not mean this literally. They probably meant trusting a cloud provider can have consequences.

    I have to agree. If you are passive-aggressively tagging your CTOs ADRs then you could be part of the problem. As an outsider, it would be hard to judge if this is just normal power-level/management bureaucracy stuff or unique to the C

    And also meeting specific. Some meetings can be useless even at companies with efficient meeting cultures.

    I'm not surprised. These days, I use SO a lot less often. Github issues, first party documentation, Discords, and Copilot are much better ways to get help.

    I don't think there are that many unopposed races and if there are they are for relatively powerless positions. Also, getting elected to state houses requires a lot of non-monetary support for field work and independent candidates won&

    How would you use your "perception" to identify if there are more jobless, homeless, and bankruptcies?

    I have never encountered a scenario where "boring" meant "popular".

    Focus on the work you do and your own behaviors. Be proud of who you are and the effort you put in. The company, the project, your coworkers are outside of your control, so why worry about it?

    Public perception and reality are often at odds, but it doesn't mean the difference in perception is because of brainwashing, it's because humans are bad at measuring risk.

    I've found war games, namely Warhammer 40k, to fit all those categories. - Painting is a meditative and creative practice. - Playing and talking about the game is very social. - The game itself is complex and there is a lot to learn.

    I'm a terrible writer so I'm hoping chat GPT will allow me to write better emails to support my teams. I could also see use cases to write better reviews. I've experimented with adding my 1:1 notes and coming up with a yearlo
