Totally agree, remember WeWork's S1 and the fall that followed. Don't think it's the same case, but it'll clarify a lot of things

I’m curious, are you working on your own electric paramotor?

I’ve been flying since 2012 and I always think about safety. Safety is relative but if you do the things the right way you will be ok. A good common sense is super important, and then keep on your progression, there’s no need to skip steps. Knowing the air is a lifetime journey so there is no rush. Also I feel paramotor is kind of safer because you get to fly with light wind or not wind at all, mostly early in the morning or near sunset. In my personal experience this sport change my life.

I’m a paraglider pilot and powered paraglider recently. Totally recommended, you get to connect with nature in a meaningful way. Also people who practice this kind of sports are nice. From a tech perspective there are a lot of data generated on each flight you can create your own way to capture that data or use already existing apps.

Ask HN: How to educate clients in Software Development process

dr_robert — Fri, 08 May 2020 14:48:19 +0000

Hello HN community, I'm having issues dealing with a client who paid me to develop their digital product. The client is no a tech guy, so he pressure us to get thing faster but without any logic behind, and we are working just to deliver, and i don't like to work like that. What's the best way to onboard my client in the in and outs of software development?

I know my self than my manager, my lack of focus, was because the work i was doing, super boring. My manager took all the "cool" decisions and make us struggle with that. So no motivation at all. But there is always a pill to solve our problems lol

I already left the company and found my dev shop. It took me like a year to process that suggestion. This is the first time i write something about it.

Ask HN: My manager suggested me to start taking Ritalin

I'm a Software Engineer, and I used to have a manager who in a 1:1 suggested me to start taking Ritalin to improve my focus. What are your thoughts about that? It's legal to suggest that kind of medical advice in a work environment? I don't feel like my focus is a problem.
