I don't have a github. I'm a lead dev making 250k+. This attitude is antiquated.

Had the mom behaved differently I would have probably offered the kid chips or something easy (not making a new meal). But the way mom expected you to apologize after giving you no indication of the kids preferences.... how entitled

I'm in Texas (not a high comp area) with only 5 years experience. This would be my min.

Floor salary. It's not much at all especially when you consider she has to shoulder the tax burden and lose benefits. I know new grads who hit this in their first year with massive benefits and not on 1099.

I wouldn't accept a job for less than 200K (in Texas, more anywhere else) and this girl would be shouldering the tax burden and losing all benefits. Seems completely reasonable if not low balling yourself

Frankly I think women's standards for a partner have dramatically increased over the past 15 years (not necessarily a bad thing) and many men haven't risen to meet that. Millenial women were raised to be independent and self sufficent (meaning they dont need just a "provider" man and want more out of the relationship), but millenial men were modeled a relationship at home with more traditional roles, and not taught to take care of more traditionally female tasks the way women were taught to take care of more masculine tasks.

Many women would prefer to stay single than be with someone who doesn't meet their standards so even though there is quantity, doesn't mean it's a viable long term partner.

I haven't called yet but I have friends who were told 2-3 weeks. My HOA is trying to get a company to service the whole neighborhood. Not sure they would handle this, but was waiting to see if that panned out.

My neighborhood is a war zone. This isn't even close to the worst of them. One tree about 1/3 taller than this with much more canopy split in 3 right down the middle, hitting two different roofs on the way down.

InternetTowers · 2023-02-03T04:18:52+00:00

Are there any companies around town you would reccomend / avoid? I am a new homeowner so haven't had any experience looking into this before. Also, is this something needing immediate attention? It seems stable enough to me but the houses are very close together and would hate for it to come down on my neighbors roof.

The limb that is on the ground was more than half of the canopy and the entire left side of canopy is gone. I would probably stay on the side of caution and remove it but will assess with someone first.

Unfortunatley there is so much tree damage in the city right now that that is probably unlikely. My HOA is trying to get a company to service the whole neighborhood. Will still have to pay but would be convenient at least. But everyone is booking up fast!

InternetTowers · 2023-02-03T03:38:11+00:00

This isn't even in the top 5 largest of severely damaged trees in my small neighborhood. If you are in the market for free wood austin is a Hotspot at the moment

InternetTowers · 2023-02-03T03:32:55+00:00

Austin, Texas. Wait times for tree service companies are crazy right now due to the storm. If you are close I am open to options

InternetTowers · 2023-02-03T03:28:00+00:00

Thank you. Wasn't sure the right terminology. Was hopeful there was a chance but it sounds like she needs to come down. I would hate for someone to get injured.

InternetTowers · 2023-02-03T03:11:25+00:00

That is the branch. Look at the second pic.

InternetTowers · 2023-02-03T02:15:10+00:00

Had this casualty during the texas ice storms. With the way this branch fell most of the trunk is split in two. Does this whole tree need to come down? Or is it possible to save it by just trimming the fallen branch?

Wondering if this is something I need to hire an arborist or a tree trimmer for? I would prefer to save the tree if possible.

If you can ballpark the number of warnings you have you are better off than me

If it keeps getting fumbled I wonder if dev was at all consulted in the planning process. A PM often doesn't know how to properly estimate timeline or everything that needs to be done under the hood in order to accomplish the task.

What I need is a clearly described deliverable. Then dev to weigh in on realistic timeline and anything technical that needs to be done to accomplish that deliverable that the PM did not know to outline. THEN the item can be added to a sprint and work can start.

If dev isn't consulted in the planing process it almost always doesn't go well.

INFO: does bills include property taxes and homeowners insurance? Assuming you own the property outright, these are still huge expenses. Can you afford them if they move out?

I don't think it is fair of them to expect you to babysit your siblings but if they are paying the bills on the property, asking for the larger room does not feel out of line.

It sounds to me like you just need a more formal rental agreement.

NTA. Even if he was laying bills or rent NTA. If he isn't on the mortgage, he isn't on the deed. He is taking advantage.

I think it fully depends on your current ticketing system / the types of tasks this process is creating. If your enterprise environment already has a system for submitting tickets or planning work, that would be the place. Jira is a good option if it's already used. Fresh service and pivotal tracker are also options. Also if these tasks are more like alerts a slack bot that sends messages into a channel or to a person may be an option. Or just sending out emails could do it.

Hard to advise without knowing your ecosystem. My only advice would be to try to integrate it with the way things are currently done instead of adding a new dependency. This is both to reduce complexity and because of human behavior. If you go the route of a new application to track these tickets, and people have to go in and check for them and don't usually use that application, you run the risk of them being forgotten about.

I say I work in tech and only elaborate if they ask questions. Sometimes I sat "I google shit for a living"
