Outsource as much of the bullshit of living a good life as possible. Cleaning help, meal/grocery delivery, subscriptions for as much as possible (household items, beverages, etc.) Take as much time and thought out of the mundane things do you can spend more time with people/activities/things you love

Ignore 90% of kitchen gadgets, get 4 really good quality knives, and learn to sharpen them on a stone. A chef's knife, a boning knife, a paring knife, and a bread knife.

Keep them razor sharp and throw away almost all of your other kitchen tools (except A2's tongs. Tongs are the shit)

Work twice as hard as everyone else

C4, well, no it won’t. It will make everything exactly twice as hard.

Smart people find a way to work *less* than everyone else whilst still winning. If you are sweating the most then you are a schmuck. Sorry for the truth bomb there.

On that note, regularly take stock of everything in your life: things, relationships, activities, and commitments. Prioritize them and eliminate the unimportant things from your life so you have more time and resources for the things that you really love.

I (Spring Boot + Angular, FS, 6 YOE) interview candidates at the product company I work for.

People just show up with no prep. I interview for 4-6 YOE and these people aren't even expecting to write a single line of code. Even questions like "find the lesser of the two angles between the two hands of a clock, given the time" or simple geometry problems that don't need DSA knowledge is too hard to attempt.

They claim they know Angular/React/Spring without knowing basic Javascript/Java. 😒

Just walked out of REG and I feel like I did really good on the first 3 testlets but then got destroyed on the last 2.

2 of the sims I'll probably score 25% on. 2 other sims I'll probably score between 50% and 70%. The rest of the sims I feel good on and I think I got the research question right.

Really hope it was enough to pass. Anyone have a similar experience and still pass?

I put in my notice last week at my current firm. MP was shaking with anger when I told him. Toxic partners, commonplace sexism, and widespread bullying. I was only there 6 months.

What's a rule you are expected to enforce that you strongly disagree with or are indifferent to. Do you enforce it or take the risk?

One of my second graders refers to me as "Miss Tutoring (my first name)" - it's about the cutest thing ever and doesn't bother me one bit. We are moderated sometimes and I'm more worried about her getting in trouble than me for not abiding.
