Agreed. I hate the notch. I run "Just Say No to Notch" from the App Store to avoid the problem entirely.

I one time had an actual answer for a question that nobody else had answered in 5 years... but because I didn't have enough ridiculous "reputation" I couldn't post it, so everyone else couldn't actually be helped. That's when I was done with SO.

Agreed and sadly I'm not surprised. There are a lot of bad managers out there. But there are a good amount of good ones too.

That's great. I wish there were more of us but I'm glad we still are out there doing the best for our people.

I always found it was. Because I cared more what my employees thought about me than my managers. I wouldn't change that, ever.

Yes I fought for raises. I fought for better ratings and promotions too. If they asked me to cut I would fight to not doing that.

My first loyalty is to my team, and it's been clear to me why I have not rising as high.

Don't assume everyone is like the worst person in your head.

You've had bad luck. I get it. But good managers like myself exist.

I think this is too harsh. Generally yes, but there are good people like myself who do care. Yes we are rare but we do exist and more than 'nobody'.

Really great advice. There are some managers out there like myself who do care about your career. It's one reason I got into management- to be different and better than other managers who never think about it.

Conversely GitLab was well positioned to take the space but then went and ruined their opportunity too.

MATE is my primary desktop distro... I hope someone can step up. Unfortunately I don't have the time or skills to help. Not sure what alternative I would have if it ends.

Let's just hope this helps their service and doesn't lead to them making it worse. I love Digital Ocean. The UI and the service itself is great. API is nice too.

I completely agree. I didn't read the book but the science the made sense to me. But then maybe I was able to fill in details mentally.

Oh this is neat! I've put off ripping and encoding because it is so much manual work.

There is nothing wrong with red meat, it certainly isn't carcinogenic.
