   Late Nights With Trav And Los - It's a Design/Coding podcast covering a wide range of topics. I really like their perspective.

   I agree it actually bothers me more like this (and I normally love dark themes!)

   I can see how that can work as well, but I would argue having a deeper understanding of the problem (whatever it may be) will benefit any mathematician/student in the long run.

   I would have to agree with this, but I disagree with out math is taught by most schools. Somewhere in this thread there is a link to Francis's lectures and they are wonderful. The method/enthusiasm be has for teaching is wonderfu

   Possibly? VSCode stands for Visual Studio Code ( https://code.visualstudio.com/ ) right? I've just seen most comments referring to it as an IDE.

   I would assume they would being writing. That would likely be the first step most would take. After that their abilities in mathematics, or just a general interest in problem solving would take them pretty far (barring games and internet)

   Thanks for the link! I'm going to try to set aside some time to watch these lectures in the future. I've always wanted to learn more math in my spare time, but I've been unsure how to approach it outside of a classroom.

   That's pretty nice then - I haven't used it much at all, but I've read a fair bit about it. Thanks for the information!

    VSCode vs Atom (in my opinion) isn't even a contest. Maybe Atom is super nice for some web dev stuff, but as a full flown IDE I just don't see the features.

    How do you like working with Go? I've been meaning to start trying it out here soon, but haven't looked very far. I'm coming from a C# background.

    I've never heard of VS Code referred to as a web dev IDE - what makes you say that?

    I love VIM - does this wiki plugin compare to the emacs org mode? (I've heard a lot about it but never used it)

    I think that would be very interesting - I hope you do sort it and share!

    I would agree! While I'm not looking for handouts or anything like that the email blasts (company wide) really do sort-of shove it in everyone else's faces unintentionally.

    Thanks for the insight! One thing I was able to do recently that gave me a good perspective is attend a conference (CodeMash). I was able to talk to many people and see a few talks which was a great experience. I'd say out of the buil

    I suppose - I just find it strange that most of the IT initiatives directly support the success of a business, and when the company sends the top 10 producing sales team members to a free Caribbean trip, and buy luxury cars for others for a

    The one thing I dislike is that sales departments are treated like gold in some instances ie: sales rallies, bonuses, contests, free vacations, cars. Where as IT/Tech departments miss out on a lot of those.

    Being my first full time job out of college I don't have much of a say, but compared to retail jobs and previous internship(s) it's great. The company culture isn't stuffy - I can essentially come and go as long as I get my s

    For those who enjoy reading there's a chapter/interview with Brad in the book "Coders At Work". I really enjoyed his perspective on the industry.

    Reply to below: Since I'm fairly young (23) the amount of stress I get from working is relatively low. Sure I could take unpaid days off probably, but that would just decrease my earnings for that year. I normally take one week long v

    Currently for me (not having children and such) I don't see myself taking non-paid time off. Something about that to me just seems wasteful for some reason.

    That sort of culture exists at my company, but I wish there was more team atmosphere at work. (or free time outside of work to do this) That's true I'm not sure it's very easy to quantify the stress of a nation/industry

    That's interesting - do you ever take advantage of unpaid leave?
27. 237.▲
    by kzisme 10y ago

    As you sort-of eluded to - it varies by week. Most of the stress in my life is caused by commuting to and from work, or not relaxing after work (ie: Not going home right after work). Job wise - It's fairly stress free probably around 2

    I was speaking to someone the other day who has recently retired, and it took him 25ish years of working at a large company to get 5 weeks of vacation time :/ I think many people should get vacation time more quickly, or it should be a

    That sounds like a wonderful way to start your day! What were you doing before being 'funemployed'? I wish it was easier for me to wake up in the morning sometimes I need to try to get on a better schedule, but I enjoy being up l

    Have you always been a morning person? What does your morning ritual usually entail (other than the walk?)
