   Funny how it is this exact blog post, every year, that really sets it in for me how fast the last year has gone by. Thanks for that, I guess.

   Hm. I love Jira. I am the admin of my projects though, and get to actively work to make things simple for my team.

   Same with their presentations at conferences. They hire really good people, pay them a ton (300k+), and fire them when they stop performing. It's a good way to get great people, if you can afford it.

   It is also interesting to think your number, 200k, is strictly based on how much you make now. What would your 18yo self said about 100k? What do you think about a Netflix engineer making 300k? They'd probably be happy with 500k (thou

   1 month for each year served? That is common? I've heard 1 week per year is common. I have been with my company for almost 10 years. You're not really suggesting they'd pay me almost a year if they laid me off.

    If that is bookmarking I'd be surprised. I'd bet it's instead the `site:` search modifier on Google.

    Hey, I work in a similar space. What has changed over the past five years is remote work. A call center can better fit their input by scheduling employees for a couple hours in a shift, and an employee can be happy with that if they can w

    Hey, I have been following you fairly closely from the sidelines. I work on similar software, though strictly in the call-center space. You can see our stuff here: https://help.mypurecloud.com/articles/navigate-schedu

    "Nice attempt" used to actually mean the words it said. You know, like "nice job".

    And this is why we have yet to converge. We are people, we have opinions! And some of us lead teams and make decisions.

    But... if you don't test the code with actual reasonable data, how do you know it is correct? Seems weird to say a team was always hung up on ensuring the correctness of their code. I guess it depends on what you work on to an extent

    I also learned to be succinct early in my career, when I emailed a VP a wordy mess and he gave me this important advice. Every word you type costs the company money, compounded by how many people see the email. Make your words count.

    No.. Email is async communication, unlike Slack and chat software. I send an email when I expect it to be read in the next 24 hours, but I can give enough respect for the other person's time to let them choose when to read it.

    So does go-guru allow you to navigate code in emacs or not? Being able to navigate the code (and refactor it, really) in the same place you are viewing it is a big win for me. At least in the other languages I care about.
