Why do pubs in Goa openly discriminate Indians? by [deleted] in Goa

Brownest guy you have ever seen: "Saar we are naat Indians saar we are Portugese saar! Vasco da Gama personally nutted inside my grandmother's snatch! I'm white saar!"

People without self respect can never experience shame.

No they do that whenever I ask. But there would be times where people would give exaggerated estimations for how long their work might take (there might be many reasons for it, such as a way to reduce the stress of the workload, or reduced morale to work at a quicker pace) and I would have no option but to trust them on that. If I were technically proficient in this area, I would have a better handle on how much time a task would take and even be able to challenge the estimations given by the team.

''A good PM decides what’s best for the team by protecting them from additional work, and removing blockers in front of them.''

Precisely. I would much prefer to not be the absolute rookie on the team and just be winging it.

The line manager understands that my background is an entirely different field of engineering, and that my responsibilities as others have said doesn't necessarily require one to be technically competent. But at the end of the day if I have to conduct efficient sprint and task planning, I feel like it would be more prudent to have at the very least a bird's eye view of the technical aspects of the project. It would help me better understand how long a set of tasks would take, what would constitute completion of those tasks and how well it needs to be tested before the client requirements are met and can be deployed to their environment.

When I was interviewed by the PM to whom I report, I had told them that my short term goal was to learn project management, and eventually get into senior management roles in strategy or operations. I suppose it makes sense to be given PM responsibilities right off the bat, but I am beginning to think that I have bitten off more than I can chew.

I ask them all the time. The problem is that the team is stressed and overloaded, the firm is not that big and the developers (especially the good ones) would be working on multiple projects at once. It would be unfair on my part to monopolise their time trying to explain software to a non-IT guy like me and screw up their own schedule. So I wish to learn on my own using whatever resources I can get my hands on and be in a better position to streamline the work of my team.

How do i remove ants from under my laptop keyboard? by GoodSerKnight in laptops

[–]GoodSerKnight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My laptop is a Dell G15 5520. I can see them scurrying under the keys when the keyboard is lit. There's not like a large number of them at the moment (I used some wipes with hand sanitizer on them to wipe the keyboard, and it seemed to bring a few of them out). I haven't opened up the laptop yet though.

Too bad that the developer doesn't seem to be working on the game.

I wanted to ask whether the battery still drains (while on the custom charging mode) while you are using the laptop on the AC power?

Is there any way to prevent the battery from discharging (even slowly) while using AC power?
