Like someone will rock up and ask for some stat that's completely irrelevant to the story, just "to make a point", without looking it up first themselves, just to imply something

And then later backtrack with "I WAS JUST ASKING" or something

Nah, go look it up yourself. Define successful for yourself, look up the statistic

Look for things like "happiest countries in the world", "GDP per capita", "life expectancy" or even "Big Mac index". Heck, make up your own index from a mix of them

It's a moving target in that a lot of orgs try to "game the system", or at least exploit it as best they can :)

Good content will mostly rise to the top because that's what search engines strive to optimise.

Nothing really changes that much probably. Just semantics.

So, this product is for the part of the world that doesn't use iPhones, I suppose.

I'm kinda keen. Awaiting a MKBHD video, as per.

.edit: Guessing that feature's locked because it's part of FitBit, which was purchased by Google but probably still functions a bit separately.

Things you learn;

- Small text is hard to read

- Making things hard to read means they get missed sometimes

- Making it the only thing on the screen makes people try to read it really hard

- Which makes them more likely to remember it later

I work in UI/UX design and this f*cked with my brain for a while. It's counter to everything we're being taught.

Human brains are fun.

I've always "hung out" with colleagues after work hours. Because we're all in the same boat, and have more in common with each-other than anyone else, because we spend 40+ hours a week in the same room.

It's a failure of HR and management, imo, when that doesn't happen. And it can be increasingly hard to fix.

Google Keep for anything fleeting.

Evernote for keepers.

Google Docs for structured stuff.

There's tonnes of candidates out there that just lack something small, or are slightly less ideal than someone else... yet still have all the raw talent and potential in the world.

But you can't always hire them because you don't have the resources to up-skill them efficiently. Or you need someone that can more readily contribute to a project.

I've certainly got some people in mind whom I'd love to contact as soon as I start at a different employer, to drag them on board if said employer had the resources to properly develop them.

Ah well.

No proper headings.

To hell with that. I won't ever know what they're on about.

(some REALLY good animations in there that show off the different switches!!!)

Also purchased a set of sample keycaps from them separately, and regret not getting that exact sampler kit for the switches.

The dashboard has recommendations. In those recommendations, on this single page, Twilight appeared 26 (TWENTY SIX) times.

Any other page I'd go to would also have several instances of it recommending me a Twilight movie. I literally couldn't find enough decent movies because almost every other movie was from that series.

It was the shortest lived account I've ever owned.

Apologies for the rant. Am disappointed.

Very real, even for huge content creators, that can - on a whim - get their butts handed to them.

Besides that part, there's plenty of roles where you can negotiate time to work from elsewhere on the odd occasion. At that point it becomes a time management excercise that's mostly not too difficult to solve.

Oh, and take these types of situations into account when discussing your KPIs, if they affect them. Always have KPIs because they're not just there to help your employer - they're also your leverage in negotiations. You did better than your initial goal because of [X], but you can also be worse than your goal because of [Y]. This means [Y] needs to be adjusted. Or your KPIs.
