Home assistant is fantastic. The number of integrations available is unbelievable (and also somewhat scary, security wise): What I have right now: - integration with Tuya lights/electrical outlets - integration with AirThings air quali

Answers for 6 and 8 say “answer for no 3”. Not sure if a copy pasta, more JavaScript magic or a sick joke.

I miss read the title as “colleagues” and was trying to remember how many former coworkers I’m friends with. Surprisingly few, considering I have 20 years in the industry and spent 8 hours a day with some of these people.

I'm in Vancouver as well and can confirm. Salaries have been inching up over the years but they are not nearly the same as say across the border in Washington. The real estate cost however, is very much on par with cities like Seattle

Agreed. Full stack to me means the same thing, a generalist web developer that can work either on the backend or the front end or more generally web services or UI portion of the application.

I find building things is really rewarding. It's who I am, and that's what I'm good at. I write software at work and I write software after work. The rewarding thing about building anything is having people find it useful and

Thanks for sharing. If you don't mind a couple of questions: - is the compensation worth it? - do you think this is going to be a long term thing for you (burning the candle at both ends)?

It may be against his contract, but none of the employment contracts I've ever had stipulated that I couldn't hire out my services elsewhere. Why do you think it'd be illegal?

Great question, I've taken some of these books down to read later. I was fascinated by The Pentagon Wars [0]. Arguably US Military is one of the biggest bureaucracies that spends tons of money on R&D projects. Apart from describing

I never played the original version but I certainly played many derivatives. There’s probably a good clone of it, but it’s lost in all of the copy cars. What’s the everyone’s favourite version (would love one for iOS)?

Trusted to do what? I feel like “unlimited” anything, isn’t. “Always and forever” means “while it’s convenient”. It’s marketing speak.

Me and my wife set aside about half an hour each week to "check in". I hate to compare it to a stand up, but it's kinda what it is. The goal is to focus 100% on each other and talk about the week and do some sort of a "m

Well said. It’s similar to automated testing. We all agree it’s a must. Lots of hand waving around how important it is, and everyone agrees! I’d say that about 50% of the projects that I’ve been on lacked automated testing. For reasons. I’d

I don't think there's any argument about data; but certainly the interpretation. Thanks for the link, I'll try to make my way through the "policy maker" one. The reason I made the post was to get some critical feedb

Thanks for the links I'll take a look. I found the GDP impact paper referred to in the podcast: > While climate scientists warn that climate change could be catastrophic, economists such as 2018 Nobel prize winner William Nordhaus a

I've listened to a podcast recently [0] that describes climate change as a definite problem, but not the civilization killer it is described as. Frankly, I don't know enough about this to evaluate the problem critically. Some of t

Thanks for your thoughts. I worded my question poorly, I suppose, but you got my meaning. I keep seeing nix mentioned alongside complaints about it's maturity but that seems par for the course for something new, doesn't it? Until

I first read about regular reviews in David Allen's "Getting things Done", I think. I agree though, a periodic project review is a must. I also find scheduled "brain dump" check list super helpful. Basically, a bunc

This is brilliant, I'm stealing this. If I can't sit on my ass for half an hour and watch the clouds go by, it's probably because I've wound myself up too tight.

Do you have the contract in hand and have you raised any of these issues with your recruiters? Also where do you work? For example California has employee beneficial policies in this regard. Non-competes are not enforceable, and IP develope

When you say "better grasp of time", what do you mean? What is the purpose of knowing the day of the week ahead of time? I have trouble with the passage of time and planning in general, also, so I'm interested what you'r

Are you sure this is worth the mental load? Whenever I have something that requires advanced preparation I set a reminder for weeks in advance. It doesn't always work, but trying to remember upcoming events is untenable, at least for m
