Did you read the article? Headcount went from 300 to 8, number of podcast per day went up and apparently listenership went up.

Interesting; if you'd have asked me when Elon took over I'd have said something around 2020-2022. Probably why everyone assumes it's a result of him

I'm the exact same. Sometimes work scratches that itch and I can work a productive 8 hours. Other times it's boring repetitive work and I'll start slacking off.

I've got the opposite problem... Too much implementing not enough architecting

Well you're not wrong. A big reason why I've never checked out rust is because of how rabid the fanbase was for a while. Seems to have simmered down within the past ~6 months though which is nice.

That's what my plan is. Just waiting/hoping housing prices drop within the next year or two. Been waiting a while now though so who knows if they'll actually come down

I'm doing between kind of okay and mostly good. Finally restarting hobbies that have been on semi hold for the past 2 years. Recently gotten into a new boardgame gloomhaven.

Career wise I'm at a crossroads. I'm about 2 years into my first full time job. I'm looking at any where from 20-100% salary bump if I swap jobs. I'm not looking forwards to going through interviews again. I wish it wasn't the case that job hopping was how career development seems to work, but I guess it is what it is.
