There's no way you're getting a new box, meter, and service wire for $2k anywhere in the US. Certainly not California. Plus, lots of places require these to be buried. So you've got trenching costs and that's a pain to

Kitchen Sinks are required to have an outlet within 2 feet. I redid our kitchen and we ran into that issue. There were outlets on every corner of the island but all slightly farther than 2 feet away. Lucked out and our rough inspector le

This sort of thing can easily spiral to needing a new main power line due to the increased amp requirements.

This article made its rounds in the Atlanta subreddit and everyone was predictably outraged. But it fails to answer the most basic question. Is the percentage of homes owned and rented out going up or down? Because nationally it's n

The problem with that is it takes a long time to learn CSS well enough to make something that doesn't suck. That's why CSS frameworks are so popular. I can install bootstrap and make something not terrible pretty quickly. As som

They could definitely share or leak it to a trusted source without any real security implications.

Yeah, Facebook started in 2004 and it was much more Instagram like in its early days before everyone's parents joined and started ranting about politics.

But that's not the truth. You can see it anytime this sort of thread comes up. People think they should be able to work very little and get paid a lot of money as long as they "meet expectation". That's entitlement.

And Subway made their wage slaves sign non-competes for $8 an hour to stand and make sandwiches all day. The claim is that they're treated better than nearly everyone else. Not that it's some sort of platonic ideal of employee em

Sometimes I can't even begin to comprehend the POVs I read on the internet. The FAANGs and adjacent companies treat their workers better than pretty much any other company in the world. The idea that workers there are somehow this ab

I wonder if you'd have been better off in the long run with a new CPU due to energy usage. Especially if you're not gaming and don't really need a discrete video card.

I'm not sure how this context is relevant. The point is that you're supposed to be paying attention and I've not yet met a human that can pay attention to two things at once as well as they can to one. I've met a lot t

You're supposed to be actively participating in refinement. Reading the story being talked about, looking up documentation, checking on potential solutions, and other things of that nature. You can't do that with raw chicken on

Expecting people to pay attention during meetings and not be a ghost during a day is crunching developers? Give me a break. We're all highly paid professionals. It's not unreasonable to be expected to act like it.

Which of the things you mentioned are equivalent to doing a distracting task during a meeting you're supposed to be paying attention to?

I'd think so, but either way staring blankly at a screen for six hours a day is way worse than writing code. A much smaller temptation than all the entertainment options in your house and abound.

Except that they also take advantage of the flexibility of agile. If a story is pointed for 2 days and it takes 3 it's better to take that as a missed estimate than a developer not producing as much as they should. Hammering them bec

I think a lot of people are abusing WFH. Some make it obvious like doing meal prep during refinement but others are just kind of ghosts during the day. Even as a fellow team member reviewing code it's hard to tell how much my coworke

IMHO, if you are 26 and have a cushy job and are not actively doing something in your spare time you don't really want to do whatever that is. If ML/AI were this burning passion you'd find 5-10 hours a week to work on it. Ob

But that quiet focus time is all for naught if people use it to pursue their time consuming hobby instead of working. Which is the point that kicked off this thread.
