No capitalization was as surprising as the narration itself… not sure how to feel about it! Counter culture?

All I need is a mini-press operation

Love goat stew - but you have to know how to season and cook it right tho.

The UI is very dated, but we're working on a rewrite with modern UI.

Unions are the only protection but companies do everything to burst unions e.g Starbucks and Amazon.

I haven’t completely gotten away from the habit but I now make sure I ask at least 3-5 questions about how they’re going to address the issue, details or how they feel - it helps me slow down the stream of solutions and more often than not they already have a solution of sort!

Question - do you eat meals in regular schedule or just once a day?

Also what kind of bugs are coming up is important... I think bug do tell stories; it might help you identify issues with feature assumptions on workdlow or use-cases and that needs to inform your product development as a feedback loop to avoid technical debt and having to rewrite stuff later.

Depending on the size of your team, I would have a 2-4 people focusing on just bugs / QA (so you can catch most bugs going forward) while the rest of the team focuses on new features.

I've considered implantable monitoring like Eversense CGM but it's costly and the implants only last for 90 days and requires doctor's visit to "install" it. At the moment - I resort to finger testing whenever I feel off or want to know the measurement.

I would be willing to do an implant (chip?) if it can last for say a year+ with Apple Watch, for example, tracking the data and sending me alerts as needed.

And I don't even mean racism - say your potential candidate is older with kids (assuming you're younger) would you pass them because they cannot go out drinking with you after work (a.k.a social circle)?

That said, I agree that you want to work with people you get along with, but it has to be at work. Social circle is the issue for me.

The quickest hires IMHO are via referrals - but this is sort like arranged marriages/dates and it comes with it's own set of issues (nepotism etc).

I think companies need to have dedicated HR / Recruiters (or hire headhunters) to cut down on such frustrations. But the problem is tech hires, unlike construction / temp hires require high touch interviews with department heads etc. Add flood of resumes (now that WFH is a thing) and it's so difficult to speed up the process since it's costly to hire the wrong candidate.

Happy MardiGras y'all!

I say that because a while back I started using CBD oil (yes, I bought into awesome benefits in listicles!) AND it triggered the worst 3 weeks of my life ever! Endless stream of panic attacks, paranonia and Depersonalization-Derealization [1].

I'm never touching CBD again!

A good way to do that is be open to them explaining stuff to you - they'll yap away while you halfway listen as you focus on your core task, don't try to be at thier level. Be a student.

Think of it this way a car mechanic probably knows way more, about engines for example,than a car designer.
