Got asked by my client if I am pregnant! Don’t know if I should feel happy that they could ask me a personal question or if I should feel bad for putting on so much weight!!

Uhh... Isn't it a faux pas to ask anyone if they're pregnant? Your client should learn some manners. And you can maybe hit up Soul Cycle :) but anyway own it and work on it.

I (36F) am married to another woman (34F) and we have a baby (5moF). We split all childcare, cleaning, meal prep, errands etc fairly evenly and it works well. Maybe she cooks more than I do bc she likes it, and I clean more bc I need to have a clean house. My friend (35F) recently took a business trip and literally put a binder together with instructions for her husband re: daycare drop off and pick up, what to feed the kids, when to take out the trash and so on.

Hi,
I understand that this is not the platform to ask for the question I am about to ask, but I really need your help on this.
I am a software engineer with around 1 year working in a small software firm. Recently I have been asked to provide the architectural design/diagram for an already existing backend node.js project that I am the sole backend dev of, having never designed such things, I am really confused. Can anyone give me a reference to any architectural design of a nodejs project?

I personally feel that it's absolutely ludicrous the US government is not enforcing or at least asking people to wear masks in healthcare environments like at the pharmacy, doctor's offices, or the hospital. We all wear ours behind the counter but I had a patient come in today WITH covid to pick up her prescription, no mask. I get that she already has it so she isn't worried, but what about the other people around??
