Mine is similar to CarVac, but I also rough out some Use Cases, and I rarely do GUI as I hate doing GUIs. When thinking about the design if there is a part I think is tricky I might pseudo code it. If it keeps me from sleeping I will actu

I have had a similar team lead. Mine spent all his time on the phone talking to his buddies - not work related. I often ended up picking up the pieces of his mess. I quit. Best day of my life! Went on a 3 month bicycle trip - LOVED IT.

Great in theory, and I agree completely, but invariably you will have a set of people who live for getting attention and they are noisy.

I agree, the only question I have is, will wave 2 or 3 be a mutated version of the current version? If it mutates like the flu, we could be in for a whole lot of hurt as people will be so sick of this 'Stay home' that it will be

Money Markets never look good, but they are 1) better than a savings account at the bank 2) less likely stolen by a relative when hidden under the mattress. Money markets typically pay just better than inflation. Not so much a place to get

Can you tell me what the Amazon half day course is?

I disagree, I would prefer you ask, once, verses wasting a bunch of time going down a rabbit hole. One of the keys here is ask ONCE, if you need to ask a second time, then you are wasting my time. Hint: if you need to I recommend asking so

First day is about gathering info, so I would find out: 1) whom do I report to? - corollary who do I NOT report to? yeah some people try to inject their needs when they have no authority to. 2) what are the required weekly items: -

Depending on your time horizon, I recommend 3 pots: 1) Need in the next 1-2 years - Money market account 2) 3-7 years - value funds (either ETF or Mutual funds) 3) 7+ - growth funds (either ETF or Mutual funds) Individual stocks take effort

I agree, you combine that with memories of March 2009. Everybody is hoping that we have hit bottom already and there is nowhere to go but up.

interesting, where would I find information on that?

I am a fan of knowherenews.com. They present an article, then two opposing view points of it.

Great advise! Sorry to hear you are laid off. I have been there twice. Short advice: 1) make a schedule so you do not spend ALL day troweling for a job (it gets depressing), 2) schedule in time to exercise 3) if you can find co-workers wh

I agree with BRUDGERS - get clients - and for the tech part, it is hard to beat making simple web sites with word press.

Key question is: When do you need the money? Depending on time frame is the key to deciding where to put it. How to put it, the best advise, and I am doing this myself, is to put it in a little at a time. For my needs, I have selected 8 pl

OMG that would suck. From my experience, when they come from outside, not just overseas, they have an arrogant attitude that the locals 'just do not understand, if they did it my way...'. Is it the industry you are in? Or is it

You sound normal to me. Depending on what I am reading, often 30 min is the limit. If its general SF, yeah maybe an hour or so. I see in your writing a need to generate the UNIQUE. Playing music written by others, although providing joy t

I think a major part is the lack of independence of the boards or these organizations. The board of one hospital is made up of executives from another hospital. And their boards are made up from the first one. So they all keep supporting

In the UK here, I have heard the bed occupancy is low because people are afraid to go to the emergency room out of fear of catching COVID. So there are typically a number of people who die every month. Then you have the number who have di

What you present is sadly what most interviewers do. Which if you ever read books on interviewing they say many people received your resume 10 minutes before, if they even got it. That said I like to be very thorough, which makes my bosse

So let me run you through an interesting question: Let us assume a person falls ill from some issue requiring a hospital. They go to a hospital but because of all the Covid patients, they cannot get in and die on the street. Does that co
