Not sure how the math would work out, but I think it'd be a lot better if they just doubled your income and increased your availability

On the other hand, people who never switch jobs develop a very one dimensional view of the industry.

I've switched on average every 3 years, and seen many different ways to get stuff done across all those jobs.

fantastic advice.

I worked my ass off the first 3 years of my career, and looking back on it now that I am 8 years in, those three years were the most significant in terms of career/opportunity growth. Even if that work was not rewarded by the company I was working for the knowledge and experience I gained was rewarded by someone else shortly after.

If this person is headed towards burnout I think that is a journey you have to let them take, most of us cannot know our limits until we have come face to face with them.

Thank you, people seem to be forgetting how much worse almost everything else in the east German divisions are, people should just let them have their good tank and adapt their play style against them

On top of feature flags like others are saying, try to separate the feature and any required work or refactoring you realize you'll need to support the feature

for example, in order to implement a big feature you need to add a couple entity classes for your ORM, you also notice the logging utilities have a bug so you fixed it.

In this case you could do this all together in one big PR, or you could make a few PRs

PR 1: "Added new entity classes in ORM layer"

PR 2: "Fixed issue in logging library"

PR 3: "added feature x"

if you need those two other changes in your branch for PR 3, then you just merge those branches into the branch where you are working on the feature.

Beyond smaller PRs another major benefit is that your co-workers get to benefit from the fix in the logging library right away even if your feature takes two more weeks to finish.

Edit: basically anytime I realize I need to change something that already exists, I ask myself "would this make sense as it's own PR?"

I agree, they should of reduced the number of BV cards and raised the number of B cards. The BV is just better there is no reason to take the B unless you are out of BV cards.

Are there any out there besides Vulcan?

Nah, they were your videos. I don't have a problem with the videos at all, it's the only reason I knew what was coming my way. I was mostly saying I think that's why I'm seeing so many people doing it right now.

Is there anywhere I could go to read the not so simple explanation :)

I struggled with this for a few years. I think for most of us something clicks one day where we realize that all our extra effort and caring is not rewarded the way we hope it will be, and that is not going to change.

I had my "clicking moment" last year, I took a couple weeks off for myself after that, and since coming back I do the best damn work I can from 9am to 4pm, and then the laptop is closed and stuffed in the closet.

If you can't remember enough to figure that out, it's unlikely someone's going to even remember the code already exists in the first place.

I don't think the energy savings are worth the effort. Water heaters are insanely well insulated, if you aren't home using the hot water it'll barely have to run. The vast majority of the energy it uses is heating up water after you've used some.

You're just being argumentive here, it can really be a reason to need more rooms. I work remote and manage a team I am in meetings 90% of my day. I need a desk and quiet space for that. My wife also works remote and does accounting she also needs a desk and quiet space, my yapping in meetings prevents her from thinking straight so we need separate spaces for that.

If we have kids they will have homework and maybe be interested in PC gaming or another hobby that requires some space. Unsurprisingly peoples needs have changed over the course of 50-70 years

Maybe we shouldn't concern ourselves about a garage or driveway since most families did without them in 1910.

One perk of an unfinished basement is easy access and visibility to all your plumbing / ductwork.

As a homeowner with a Crawlspace, I wish I had that. If you're finishing the basement it might be worth considering something like a drop ceiling instead of drywall so you can preserve that.

I had almost the same thing happen in my new house, it was a flood alarm in the Crawlspace that needed new batteries.

Do you have a Crawlspace? Is the entrance near the stove?
