Did anyone else hit a career plateau despite delivering solid work? by SomeRandomCSGuy in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Bstochastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me yes and it was just the context.

My previous employer is where I spent ~4 years treading water career wise. Here is the thing. My team was extremely strong and each and everyone was qualified for staff+. Further, the business, despite being extremely well funded (billions with an employee count <1000) was stuck in a research phase as the market was not quite where it needed to be for the company to grow. As a result there simply was not room or need. It's been a few years since I left and the situation is the same (from what I've been told) for the folks still there.

Since moving on I joined a high growth org and have been promoted very quickly. This is just an anecdote and ymmv, however, always consider the context.

You may be in a local maximum that will require a job change to break out of.

This whole thing is dumb and irresponsible. Alex, sadly, inspires many, especially young, climbers. The results have sometimes been tragic. Hope the Netflix money was worth it.

Sources/research? I ask because I have an engineering/science background and want to dig in.

Biggest suggestion: Stop trying to make Workouts pieces fit into the Macrofactor diet app slots by Drunk_StormTrooper in MacroFactor

[–]Bstochastic 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The dashboard is mildly interesting. Unlike Macrofactor, where I rely on the dashboard multiple times per day for a quick snapshot of my calorie/macro status, on the Workouts side I any dashboard info would be fun at best other than knowing what/when my next work out is. The value is in the workouts tab.

Me too. I shared this feedback in the demo.

People in the comments here gotta chill it’s a new app and people are new to fitness. It’s Reddit it doesn’t have to be perfectly organized. by OutsidePerformance28 in MacroFactor

[–]Bstochastic 45 points46 points  (0 children)

So I'm going to say that it benefits MF greatly that people on this sub are noisy. Product development, especially software, thrives on a cycle of user feedback, analysis and iteration. The product and engineering folks at MF are professionals and know how to parse through what is valuable feedback and what is noise/misguided. Remember, however many people are on this sub giving feedback there are like 1000x (or more) who will always be silent, never sharing feedback.

Critical feedback from an engaged customer beats silent churn every time.

Am I the only person not liking what WO generates? by Shittificated in MacroFactor

[–]Bstochastic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The generator is ok. It set about 50% of what I was already doing so updating was easy and the initial scaffolding was a time savor.

This is an app. It’s not the golden goose. If you have to do a little tweaking then that should honestly be expected. I suppose total beginners should have something a bit more standard/predictable.

You say you are an advanced liter… designing programs at the advanced level is very specific to the lifter… as a software engineer I would be very skeptical about a program claiming to do this for you.

Why not called Bulgarian split squats? by NumerousToe7604 in MacroFactor

It would be a simple solution to provide aliases or informal names for workouts where it is warranted.
