FWIW, I always got my best 'raises' by switching jobs. Often times exponentially larger raises than I would have gotten sticking around.

A good company that values you will say yes to a raise. The fact that they say no means either a. they don't value you, or b. they can't afford to pay you fairly. Neither of those things is a good sign...


Apparently, I've been doing lat pull-downs the wrong way for like 20 years, using too much biceps instead of the lats. Took a trainer just a few minutes to correct me and I def feel the difference.


A pair of Sennheiser Hd58x's from Drop. I never want to use ear buds again. Really loving the 'open back' experience, makes me feel less claustrophobic and the sound quality is amazing. Really enjoying just sitting around listening to music again.


Not tech related, other than using tech to promote it, but music. I tried a go at making a name for myself 10 years ago and failed. Now, I'm finally ready to write and record an album but I don't care if anyone listens to it. Just want to leave a tiny little piece of something to show I was here and made something.


Same here, at least IT paid for a kickass studio to play around in...


It's funny how our brains work, eh? I find I'm the complete opposite. I need two monitors so things are right there in my face. I get distracted switching tabs. Thanks a lot ADHD.


Is it possible to refactor it to use AWS Lambda so it's only using the compute power it needs, rather than maintaining infra? Aka, "serverless"


I suppose. Given that it checks the AWS/GCP api on a schedule not sure how effective that would be.

Then again, it's not like the hosting is costing that much. Actually I currently run it on a machine with lost of resources that is used for other things as well...so technically I could keep running it forever. That is to say the cost isn't the main driver for shutting it down. It's more a psychological burden at this point where I'm thinking "ok I tried, it didn't work time to move on".


Sounds like either depression, ADHD, or both ( depression from ADHD ). Talk to your doctor.


Ask about sleep apnea, as well.


Def brings me back. I remember being a young n00b hacker, running openwindows on slackware, wishing I had a real, live SPARCstation of my own.


Misinformation for one of them. Previous US elections, and now COVID, have highlighted how misinformation is both extremely potent/viral, and literally deadly.
