No problem! I've been in a sort of similar situation myself and I know it can be hard; this is one of many "do as I say not as I do" situations that you'll probably find yourself in. If people are aware that you're

With zero knowledge of your company and culture, I can only offer very broad strokes advice on this; - Burnout is real and it will happen to people that work like that. Explain clearly that burning out means their hard work, and other peopl

Not from the US, but I had assumed this was the whole point of internships right? These days with the job market being what it is, there's very little incentive for companies to invest money into training when the person they're t

AFAIK the overwhelming majority of creators on OF make way way less than minimum wage.

In my use case, a single Bluetooth keyboard paired with multiple computers is a huge convenience; I've got a work Macbook, a personal Macbook, and a personal desktop. I can just press a couple of buttons on my Keychron and move it from

I'd think of it this way - you've passed the interview process, AND you'll have a whole team of software experts with you the whole way. The company has assessed you and decided you're good enough for the role, and you&#

With the state of Google these days, I think if I searched “What do NFT collectors think about NFTs?” I'd probably just get back results for NFT themed merchandise from Etsy and monkey pictures on Pinterest.

They also have to go on a "performance management plan" where the employer has to make an effort to help them address any performance issues. There also needs to be very clear documentation of said issues, and how everyone is addr

WOW, I'm pretty sure this would be 100% illegal in Australia and quite a few other countries. At least they're up front about it so people know to avoid them.

We've got something like this in Australia, and it's really just a rubber stamp kind of process rather than a meaningful safeguard against problem drinking. Our taxes on alcohol are very high as well, especially pre-mixed drinks w

I assume the idea is this is a secondary search, after Google has failed once again to return anything other than Etsy and Pinterest results. It also seems fairly customisable, like I can search and include all results but choose to remove

We've had this in Australia for a while now under the name "NPP" (New Payment Platform) more commonly referred to by folks as "PayID" or "Osko", and I have to say since it's been introduced I've

You've confused a joke with a serious post here.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Wordpress, is in fact, Plugin-hell/Wordpress, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Plugins plus Wordpress. Wordpress is not an ecommerce system un

For me personally; 1x 13" M1 MBP with 16GB/1TB best device I've ever owned. I do everything on this from dev work, to browsing, photo editing, fiddling around in Logic Pro, and even some light gaming. And I can do all of that

One thing I think Teams does well in this space, and where I feel Slack falls short, is the organisation of channels. With Teams you can put people in... well teams, and each team has channels and other data associated with it. This hierarc

Wow that's a trip down memory lane! It would be 1492 to allow for another 8 bytes of PPPoE overhead, there are some scenarios where 1508 byte frames might be floating around but I don't really know if anyone adopted that standard.

It's definitely worth a look I think. Just make sure you fully understand their fee structure before signing anything - they have the potential to be very expensive if you're not careful. A lot of the really good ones can add valu

The three results/problems you listed, I think, are all related; - Cold outreach has low uptake anyway, especially if not targeted properly. People tend to largely just ignore or decline these kinds of messages. - People not looking fo

I'm curious - where did you move to after Heroku?

Yeah definitely not a startup. Most places don't pay FAANG money, hence why FAANG's are so popular and hard to get into. EDIT: The more I think about this, the weirder this comment is. Did you not see the bit where I mentioned som

I'd be willing to bet the whole thing is automated, so you might not be far off the mark there...

I'd prefer not to, at least publicly. I've dropped an email address in my bio - feel free to ping me there if you like.

I can't say that's true for me personally, and I greatly prefer working in the office. In my case I mostly like the office because it allows me to keep work physically compartmentalised from real life - I don't have work thin

Yeah I get that a lot on eBay when selling stuff - zero feedback accounts with randomly generated names buying stuff and never paying then you have to wait weeks for eBay to do anything. #1 reason why I've stopped using it. IMO, they&#

I was explicitly told to memorise the principles and the recruiter quizzed me on them during the first screening interview. Good to know that's not the norm I guess, seems like a bizarre thing to do especially for a technical role. Reg

That title was my risky click of the day. But I feel like there's a bit of a flaw in their logic here; the kind of stress you feel when interviewing, competitively I might add, for what I can only assume is a prestigious position is go

Nearly all of Australia's population centres are on the coast, Alice Springs being the most notable exception with a population of around 25k. And most of Australia's population is loosely clustered on or near the east coast, whic
