Agreed. It also gets easier to determine if you will like one recipe over another one the more experience you get cooking. In a way you get used to a specific cooks style so you start recognizing it in other recipes.

Yes, your teeth will fall off! Jokes aside, the longer you leave the bag in, the more bitter your tea will be. You also get more caffeine. For a lot of tea connoisseurs it destroys the taste of the tea. I say try taking it out after 3, see

I have a personal repository group. Three repositories within it. One named 'knowledge' where I store code snippets, common issues with their solutions I have dealt with. It has multiple markdown files, one per scope. I have a git

I am in a similar position. Turned 41 years old. New "tech" that goes away in a few years is getting tiresome. I moved from Dev to DevOps for a change of pace, but it made things worse in a way. I've debated management, but b

Does my code still make sense to me 6 months later? Did I introduce new bugs? Are people using my building blocks to add features or working around them/ redoing them? These are not good metrics. I have researched this and it seems the

How do you keep track of your queue? Also is it FIFO, LIFO or a priority model? My queue seems to bloat, then I tried to mitigated that by telling myself if something is in the queue for X amount of time remove it. Nowadays that removal jus

GTD has too much upkeep even when setup properly. It gives the illusion of progress because it indirectly focused on efficiency not effectiveness. As a project manager with multiple projects where my work was to have others do the work it w

As a DevOps guy I find the biggest hurdle Dev education and stubborn management. Right now 90% of the end to end tests could have been run during unit testing. Instead they are run after a full code deployment. This adds an extra hour of te

I actually agree. I have come to realize that 9 to 5 is not horrible, the key is self-fulfillment and happiness. For most people they will be unhappy regardless of the state of finances or work they do. I realize that even if I have my own
