In desperate need of a resource management tool that allows me to see utilization and doesn’t require participation from the creatives. Just me writing into it. Band aid until Workfront roll out

Not sure what you mean by, "participation". All RM relies on accurate time tracking data. Creatives are particularly allergic to that. Neither Workfront nor any system will solve for this this. Suggest you start by establishing that behavior and a shared Excel or Google Sheet. Pissing people off with one system and then just moving to another will tank your future RM efforts.

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.

I have a in person(online, 4 hours - 4 people) technical interview coming up and I have been practicing my coding for the past 3 weeks. The only thought I've been having is "what if I can't solve the coding question?" I am still fairly new to the software engineer scene and the position is for a level 1 software engineer.
Does it essentially end my chances if at any point I can't solve the question? I mean I will definitely attempt to talk it through, ask question, but no progress in code. 🤷
