I like this stretching routine: https://phrakture.github.io/starting-stretching.html Interestingly, it's written by Aaron Griffin - the former Arch Linux lead dev.
Hey, I worked through this same question for myself when deciding how to move from data analyst -> software engineer (all the way down to the same OSU program!) and decided that the tradeoffs were worth it. I had enough…
Here's how I switched from data analyst -> software engineer. I don't do much DevOps, but maybe it'll help anyway. To avoid qualifying every statement, just pretend I wrote "in my experience" or "for me" after each…
Some methods I use: - Spotify's "Discover Weekly" playlist - it's hit or miss and it gives me a lot of stuff I know about (and have listened to on their platform!). But, they also send me some cool stuff I haven't heard…
This post helped me (and many others here, I'm sure) learn about salary negotiation: https://www.kalzumeus.com/2012/01/23/salary-negotiation/
I've been falling asleep to a podcast called "Sleep With Me"[0] for the last two years or so. For most of my life, I've had a lot of trouble falling asleep thanks to a fun combination of anxiety and an overactive mind.…
HN has monthly "Who is hiring?" threads, you could post there https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32306920
Interesting! I have degrees in CS and economics, and my experience was that the business school was dramatically more "bro-y" than the CS department. Not doubting you, just really surprised!
Thanks for the recommendation! Several friends have also told me about this game - I think I'll go ahead and order it now.
My wife and I have gotten a lot of mileage out of playing these 1v1 games: - Twilight Struggle - Hive - Patchwork Choosing one really depends on mood. Twilight Struggle is the kind of game you have to buckle up and…
Thank you!
Do you have advice about where to find startup jobs? I know about HN's "Who is hiring?" post but I'm interested in other sources too.
This was my experience working in data science. I was extremely unhappy with the impact/results that I was able to deliver in my organization. Almost all of my analytics focused projects ended with a presentation to…
I have had two engineers in the last few weeks tell me that my (correct) interview answers were wrong. It's extremely frustrating feeling to be already stressed from an interview and then deal with this on top. In one…
Wow, that is an incredible deal. How did you hear about the sale?
You can purchase used Steelcase chairs from office liquidation companies for a reasonable price (although "reasonable" might be in the eye of the beholder). I purchased a V2 for around $400 and have been using it daily…
Graph databases are used by the IRS for (at minimum) detecting "patterns of abusive tax transactions"[0] and tax fraud[1]. The IRS also recently contracted Brillient to "define and prototype a graph database for the…
That makes sense, thanks.
This is insightful, but I fail to see how: >While we didn’t exactly market directly to kids, we knew that they were buying. squares with: >Every time a kid has 25p to spare, they have a choice. They can choose to buy a…
You can also refer to these as "external economies of scale". DC and politics/government seems like a clear pick. High Point, NC used to be one for furniture. [1] Wasn't Michigan one for the automotive industry? I don't…
Veteran's Day is November 11th, just FYI.
Very cool, I will check this out. Thanks!
Do you have advice on learning AWS/cloud for people that don't know anything about it? I have a Django/React project I'm hacking on where everything runs locally, but I don't understand how to put this thing on the real…
Wow, I just finished the first level and I can already tell that I'm going to love this game. Tightly crafted puzzle games are my favorite genre - thanks for mentioning this one.
