I've never had weekly 1:1s and rarely have monthly ones, but when I'm in a positioning when I'm managing people I always, always put in place a optional weekly 1:1 meeting which I used to just listen...

I always encourage colleagues to speak about anything they want, rant, complain ask for a raise, anything. It's their time and I'm all ears, but the most important thing is that I am always there for that time each week no matter what.

Without consistency it doesn't work.

You've still got access to brew via linuxbrew.

I'm also in the process of switching back from Macos to Windows thanks to WSL.
