I made this thread's root comment: this is exactly how I was managed, including the "can prove this within 1-3 months" timeline. Glad to see there are other good managers out there. It's a bit horrifying seeing the pessi

I'm in such an organization, but this does not echo my experience. I write a ticket describing the work (takes no more than five minutes), open a PR, and get someone on my team to review. The engineers on my team dictate the process be

Surely there's a balance to be found. Personally, I allow myself some not-explicitly-requested improvement work when I see what I view as low hanging fruit. I know the code and effort involved, and sometimes just doing the thing is fas

I was given high impact projects precisely because I crushed tickets as a junior. I demonstrated repeated mini-competencies (crushing tickets), gained credibility, then got to demonstrate macro-competency (deliver projects). Definitely agre

It takes some practice to get good using them. I use it as a sophisticated autocomplete. For example, if I'm building an api client layer in a web frontend, I might have `fooApi.ts`, `mockFooApi.ts`, and `barApi.ts`. instead of writing

I primarily work on typescript projects, little bit of go. Never enjoyed working with python until I found uv. Glad to see folks rally around astral's tools.

You get used to it! Also much easier to read in an editor with intellisense than your first exposure as plain text. If you're going to spend any considerable amount of time writing typescript, parent's advice is good.

I think this is true for a long term solution, but the standard treatment to alleviate symptoms of reflux is to consume antacids, so I think parent's point is still valid.

I believe the singular reason is that TikTok is controlled by the CCP and they use it as a tool to further increase political and social division by manipulating the algorithm. This is evidenced by the fact that ByteDance could've sold

The teachers in this school don't speak Spanish. The Spanish speaking children are struggling, and the rest of the kids cannot proceed at the same rate. I'm not pretending to have solutions, and I'm certainly empathetic for a

Very expensive suburb of Seattle. I was shocked to hear this as well. Reported to me by my friend who is the school counselor and had to deal with these kids (plural) herself.

I live in a good area and have friends who work in a few different schools out here. Kids are throwing chairs at teachers. There are elementary school classrooms where ~1/4 students don't speak English. The reading/math skill

I've run into a scenario where one of our rarely used environments needed a hotfix and the GitHub action we used to deploy there was broken. Was easy enough to translate GitHub action steps to shell scripting for a quick, manual deploy

I was referring to cjs vs esm (require vs import, respectively). I suspect I was late enough to the game (and focused on browser js) such that I've mostly only used esm. I will note that node has embraced esm, and nowadays it's fr

Valid criticisms, but the "standard" choices all work well. Nvm is the de facto standard for node version management, npm is a totally satisfactory package manager, node is the standard runtime that those other runtimes try to be

Yes, you as a Californian should not have to pay for Montana state programs/subsidies.

I agree that Californians should not pay for Montana road maintenance.

Government doesn't pick up bills, taxpayers do. And it introduces moral hazard when the people engaging in risky behaviors (buying homes in high fire-risk areas) don't bear the costs of those risks. This creates larger, systemic r

Sorry to hear. There is a promising new class of drugs, orexin agonists, currently in clinical trials. Particularly, TAK-861 had excellent phase 2b results and is currently in phase 3 trials. I don't have narcolepsy, but I wonder wheth

Generally, the earlier stages of sleep are categorized by more "deep" sleep, with REM (dreams) occurring later. Narcolepsy Type 1 (NT1) is characterized by inappropriately entering REM sleep, likely due to a deficiency in orexin-p

Not the person you responded to, but thought y'all may be interested: there is a promising new class of drugs for narcolepsy type 1, orexin agonists, that are yielding great results in clinical trials. TAK-861 is in stage 3 trials now

The person I responded to (correctly) criticized per capita GDP, citing differences in cost of living. I felt that referencing PPP would be helpful since it attempts to factor in cost of living differences. I'm not sure this "comp

Purchasing Power Parity (PPP): This adjusts for cost of living and inflation rates between countries, giving a more accurate comparison of living standards. In 2023, GDP per capita in terms of PPP for Bangladesh and USA was $8,242 and $74,5

Thank you! I am indeed very fortunate to have a great manager.

Totally fair to be skeptical; there's no way I can convince you that my coworkers would agree with what I've claimed here. I do still interact with many of the folks that inherited my code though, and on multiple occasions they&#x

I'm close with a principal engineering manager at a large tech company. At his level, bonuses are in part determined by hiring minorities (discriminating against whites, East Asians, men), and resumés are sorted by the same category to
