Now, if he had recommended a full carb clean and battery replacement, of course that would bring the total to over $1000. Those recommendations are optional though, and your bike can live without them (if you enjoy using the kickstarter constantly ;)

To boil down my job title would reduce me to a computer programmer. I'm fine with that and it's what I tell to people I meet. In the industry though, it's another story, because we have to play the game in order to succeed. The result of this is that everyone on my team is a senior software person, while I reside in North America, and them, all overseas. You can imagine the pay-gap.

So where does this put me as the more experienced person on the team, getting paid double the salary of those who share the same job title? As the organization expands and goes through its cost cutting phases, I imagine that spot is directly in the sights of, well a coat saving opportunity. Am I paranoid? Maybe.

As the scope of your work expands, you add another sub-directory or file where necessary. Once it starts to grow in size, you can start making insightful connections via [[keyword]].

Furthermore, you can pretty much take this knowledge base with you, wherever you go, by uploading the vault file to your google drive and accessing it locally via SMB. Automatic save/backup.

Confluence has been the bane of my attempts in finding any relevant docs. Which one is the source of truth? Which one was a draft written by an overly eager to make a first impression, new employee (who is no longer with the company)? Don't even get me started on saving meeting notes to confluence.

These days, I maintain my own knowledge base on Obsidian. If there's ever any confusion or request for more information within the company, I copy-pasta the relevant note from my obsidian bank to whomever person or whichever confluence page they deem the source of truth.

In short, if a required field in a different section, i.e. used for a "complex calculation" is changed by the user, then we'd pass that flag in part of the POST request to recalculate.

One music artist that I've been enjoying listening to lately is Biosphere. Specifically the Substrata album; To me it feels like a foreboding journey of the present with longings of some past.

Analogies through pop-culture is something Mark Fisher also did very well to get his point across, and appeal to a broader audience.

In the 90's, "cool-hunters" would hire street promoters to hype brands one-on-one, directly to the consumer. These promoters were often friends of the consumers, who essentially became walking adverts for . Sounds a bit like the company "Influenceter". It's always been a goal of advertising to capture the minds of the youth culture. Facebook just does it to scale.
