I've just come back from my first trip to Croatia, and this rings true. It's a beautiful place but the prices are high! To quote one of the taxi drivers I chatted to "all the prices have gone up, but is okay; wages have stayed same" - deadpan

This is super interesting - thanks for sharing!

> Everyone I've ever managed that was previously a manager themselves has this -- they know exactly what I need to know because they know what they needed to know, so our 1:1s go much faster

Could you provide some examples of what managers need to know?

New comment by johnny_reilly in "Why blog if nobody reads it?"

johnny_reilly — Mon, 10 Feb 2025 13:14:07 +0000

The "future you" aspect mentioned is exactly my rationale for blogging. I've been doing it since 2012 and one of the main reasons was because I kept forgetting things I'd done and thought I should start to note them down. I regularly google things and find my own posts with little to no memory of writing them. https://johnnyreilly.com/

Long time user of (and contributor to) Docusaurus. I use it to build my markdown powered tech blog. https://johnnyreilly.com/ It is very much a Goldilocks product for me ("just right") in that it has React support, Markdown support, TypeScript support and a good amount of customisation is possible (good underlying APIs). It also has a great community. Props to Sébastien Lorber for leading the project so well!

New comment by johnny_reilly in "Serialising ASP.NET method calls for later execution"

johnny_reilly — Thu, 16 May 2024 19:08:57 +0000

Queues are great; but it looks like you're trying to solve a different problem. In my own case, the aim was to store a function for delayed execution. That's slightly different from storing typical state. The interesting bit (hopefully) in here is serialising and deserialising function calls.
