Before covid I switched jobs. Got about $12k more. Months go by, COVID hits and I can’t do my job (didn’t have the flexibility and daycare was shut down). So I get my old job back but said I’d do it for $X where X was another $10k above from the new job.

Switching jobs definitely works. It sucks giving up a sure thing and the comfort zone though

NY case likely will be retried and this doesn’t affect the 16 years or whatever in California.

RalphFurley , 2 months ago to news in Defeated CEOs are now conceding hybrid working is here to stay

My wife works in a large suburban office park off a major highway. The company designs hardware so obviously they have people in the workshop on-site etc, but you could remove three of their office buildings and keep those people at home. She also flies out from the east coast to the west coast twice a year just to sit in a conference room for two days straight… it’s like no one has ever heard of Zoom.

I’ve been working from home for nearly a decade and a half now. It has enabled me to keep my job after moving halfway across the country. I have dinner ready when the wife and kids get home, the laundry done, and can go for a jog at the local park for a few laps when I want to and yet I still get shit done and do a great job.

It just absolutely baffles me that CEOs aren’t chomping at the bit to downsize their office space footprints, get off those leases or sell off their properties, and let everyone work from home.

Oh nice. Thank you.

Not a fan of it being forced upon anyone but I’ll add lately that I’ve been using it to spit out Python scripts and ansible playbooks to stunning efficiency that makes my life much easier.

I tried Bard last year and it sucked, maybe Gemini is better now. I could see myself paying for one of these eventually, given how much more free time I have with the kids (or at the bar!).

RalphFurley , 2 months ago to technology in Broadcom has willingly dug its VMware hole, says cloud CEO

I took a good look at Apache CloudStack. I of course have been migrating stuff to k8s and working with cloud native stuff that can be hypervisor independent or bare metal even.

I’m this close to an NSX-T cert and that will be the last one. That will be in high demand for quite some time I’d expect.

I’ve done this for so long I might just be like that old Cobol programmer in need during Y2K at some point.

I’ve spent the last 15 years working with VMware exclusively. A little nervous about all of this

I haven’t driven in decades. It’s something I’m terrified of. Luckily I’ve lived in dense urban areas so even well before Uber/Lyft there was always plenty of public transit and cab stands everywhere.

I was just today trying FF again and discovered vertical tabs was via extension only and holy shit disabling the tabs up top looked like a bit of work. Native vertical tabs and grouping and I’m back. It should just copy the layout that Edge does.

Comparing Discord to IRC is like comparing playing tennis to baking a cake. Just two entirely different things.
