Another trick management plays is they will ask you for super rough estimates. And tell you that whatever estimate you give doesn't mean anything. So you play safe and give them a super rough estimates and a lot of buffer. And now all

I understand your point but we should not assume criminal intent without some solid evidence. Back in days I paid for CDs with only open source software because internet was too slow. CDs were definitely priced for decent profit. The beauty

I had a coworker who for whatever reason asked legal department if he could write a novel. They, of course, said he can but most likely the company will own it. Having friends who are business lawyers, I asked them how is this fair. They sa

Deadline driven development is leading cause of 90% of my professional stress. I would understand if deadline was due to some external factors like customer demands or security vulnerability. But I hate when I ask why such a tight deadline

This is the most correct answer. In my company software engineers easily make more than project managers. People manager make a bit more than engineers but not that much. 10-20k more. Soure: glassdoor.com

I think, in Tech, it doesn't matter because we tend to be more privacy concise. Some of co-workers have never created any social media and accounts and nothing shows up for them when you search for them. But in other fields it might be

I think you are using it right. I used it completely wrong by cutting out more intense exercise and focusing on competing with co-workers instead of myself.

No I don't mind, I am 35. I was about 170 lb before I got into Fitbit about 3 years ago. I gained 15 lb chasing 10k steps. It might be metabolic change. But last year I stopped using Fitbit and switched to Polar watch with HRM. I am do

My RHR averages between 52 to 55 bpm. I always heard that unless you are an elite athlete, your HR should not be below 60 bpm. So I brought it up with my doctor and he told me to not worry about it. I wonder if there are other markers which

I got into 10,000 steps craze, thanks in part to my company providing Fitbits. I was not really a health nut, just 3 days a week at gym, lifting and cardio. I had a bit of muscle definition. Gym was just something I did like brushing teeth.

I made my profile by mistake; it is way too spammy and uses dark patterns. I would consider it the shadiest of all social networks. I don't use it anymore and filter any mail from Linkedin directly to trash. But I keep it around for oc
