  • Not necessarily. Also depends on competency of whoever is looking at using your software/investigating and the legacy of the things you described. A whole different scenario if it’s because you forgot to write something in a ticket and someone coming to call for help with docker when you have a docker setup guide they never look at.








  • A day with no plans where I’m not thinking about the end of my days off. You don’t get it with a week off. Every day you have a thought about how many days left but two week on Wednesday. You’ve done what you want the weekend is still far away and you know the next week I’d more time. Bliss, no need to worry about utilising your time off. Just pure impulse.



  • Additionally, don’t copy and paste anything until you understand it. If you don’t understand what code golf is being spewed, don’t take the top answer. If you don’t understand any answer, you probably don’t understand the underlying systems well enough and need to re-evaluate what your asking for.

    Moving jobs I went from 1 meeting a week to multiple a day and all It has done is made me think my new job has no idea what is important priorities shift almost daily due to other meetings that I’m not a part of and nothing gets done properly because we dont have time to refine.

    The goal should be to have as few meetings as possible because it means they are unnecessary. If you have a plan for your backlog set, you don’t need to meet up for an hour every week to sort it out







  • Im discussing this from the perspective of office which I imagine is very different from some other jobs. I consider this saying of thinking as one of neutrality rather then attempting to actively get somewhere.

    1. If there’s a specific job your looking for, that would be correct. Otherwise just interacting with people in LinkedIn works. I check maybe once a month to tell people how interested I am and to direct them to my email where I’m more active.
    2. Not really. The benefit of having a job and looking is having way more freedom to decline interviews. So you don’t put in effort until you want to and it makes more sense. It feels like you are treated better as well. You are given every convenience when you have to fit things around work. Since getting a job, I have had every time limit for sending in work revoked to get it in around work.
    3. Never tell your coworkers. It’s not worth it. I’ve never heard anyone ever discuss taking interviews other than from past jobs. Closest I’ve got is “you’ll be the first to know if I take a new job”. You can take time off for interviews if needed. Or schedule them around lunch. As I said above. They give every luxury to work around a work schedule.
    4. You don’t have to tell anyone. If people ask it can be extremely simple. Dentist, helping someone with a move. Mental health day. Just normal stuff. Realistically, people should not ask.


  • I agree with universal basic income and also believe it will cause issues. The only way it works is if regulations are put in place to avoid making it useless. The rich can spend large amounts to find loopholes so basically the government will have to provide a bunch of guidelines and when the government steps in people get mad. Even if the pool of money is the same, the pool of money in each market may not be. Stocks and Yachts (extreme example) may go down and investment in rent or cheap food would go up, therefore demand and therefore prices. An alternative would be to make UBI use a separate commodity but it wouldn’t really fix the problem as it would likely mean that the commodity could only be spent in select stores and there not provide the freedom it should.

    Unfortunately, its a matter of needing real investigation into the market as there’s a chance it could drastically backfire.
