I've been in a position where my abilities vastly out stripped those of the rest of the team. I was insecurely seeking praise and adoration by fixing as many problems with the code as quickly as I could. The mistake, in my opinion, tha

Hence the C-a-a for a literal C-a. It's not the same but hitting control a a isn't much worse than just control a.

There has got to be a middle ground on pay. I've worked contract positions that transitioned to full-time. There is something wrong when a company tries to transition me to full-time at less than half my contract rate. I'm talking

You have no real leverage in that position. Your best bet would be to find something else and then see if they want to keep you. Only thing is you can't bluff.

C-b is what tmux uses because it was developed in screen and and C-a was taken. I always change my tmux config to C-a leader and C-a-a for literal C-a

My response to this request would be "I do not have a smart phone for work." On the few occasions I've been asked to be on call for a job this has been my reply. It usually gets a "okay we will provide you with a phone,&

I found his personal views on some of his live streams to be odious and problematic, specifically those relating to women and bullying others. That said, his actions around right to repair have been consistent and productive. I see them as

I interviewed with DRW in Chicago in 2017. I had an interesting experience. They started with a take home programming problem, which they said I could do in any language. The problem was to take a list of tetris moves and give the resulting

I think of async functions in rust as regular functions that happen to return a Future. Sure to do something useful you need to use an executor (or follow the semantics of one) which uses a context to track the progress through a state mach

The video game SOMA asks this question yet in the game both the original and the copy live. It seemed like the copy still thought they were the original and the original wrestled with the idea that their conscience wasn't transfered.

HR's primary job is to protect the company from the employee. I respect Rachel's honesty here but its delivered with a lot of negativity. I've tried to accept these ideas and protect myself as best as I can. Going in to work
