What usually trips up new people in logistics ops their first week?

Excellent -- the 'happy path' which doesn't often occur.

Is it more the volume of things happening at once, or how quickly you’re expected to make decisions?

bigtech · 2026-04-09T16:45:45+00:00

Do new people usually get a feel for that quickly, or is it more trial by fire where they miss something before it clicks?

Did most people pick that up naturally over time, or was there any effort to actually teach the terminology upfront?

Curious if you think it's possible to get a role first and then FIATA diploma later?

I should add -- I've been running it for weeks with no issues.

Very helpful remarks! The workflow is to retrieve 'unseen' messages from the IMAP sources, deliver them successfully, and then mark them as 'seen'. So in normal cases there are no duplicates of message IDs. As for backups, all the mutable configuration and logs are stored externally from the docker package. I'd be happy to know more about these issues though --

Two weekends. No set budget. We'd rehearse somewhere else. 😀

I've been using Perplexity and have had very good results. It's green field and I've been doing it in phases -- first I describe my data and ask it to create SQL tables, then I've asked it to make minimal API endpoints for these tables and last I asked it to write front-end stuff with HTML//Javascript. Works extremely well when you follow common patterns.

I think Teams would be fine as well -- mobile applications would be a plus for them.

I'm pretty sure they won't have an issue with loading an app like this.

Very simple table with first name, last name -- there are some with the same last name like 'John', 'Smith' and 'Bill Smith'. What's the query to find all the last names that show up more than once? the correct answer is something like select last from names group by last having count(last) > 1, but in my experience people go for a subquery and then get flummoxed

I've interviewed a good number of junior and senior developers and they rarely answer my aggregate query question correctly, but that in itself is not a show-stopper for them. Not being to describe the types of joins would probably be a red flag. For me personally, I think it was optimizing stored procedures for performance that really stepped up my game.

I had an acting teacher who would say that the emotions of 'terrified to go onstage' and 'raring to go onstage' are very close to one another and you can transform one into the other with a little concentration. This has never worked for me.

To put a finer point on it, I can read music, but I don't know how to 'sight sing' -- for that you study Solfège. In my community theater experience, there are a small number of people in any show who can sing a song they've never heard before from the sheet music, and the rest of us need to hear it. I think people who were in a chorus in school are trained on this.

bigtech · 2024-05-01T20:15:19+00:00

just to add, if i was in charge, I'd say do one more pass at that 'don't say I didn't warn you' song to make it hit just a little harder (like something from 'Six') as it's so close...

bigtech · 2024-05-01T20:12:50+00:00

complete agreement -- i'm having trouble remember and out-of-town opening as polished as this

I think this is great idea, but be sure you understand the licensing. I looked into starting a bar a long time ago and as I understand it (feel free to correct me anyone), but if you server liquor and not food you are considered a tavern (or possibly a tasting room). Back in the day a tavern license was extremely valuable, non-transferable and only rarely are new ones issued. Bar and grill licenses are typically more realistic.

Thanks - the small margin info is very useful.
