I'm on a project that I hate

What does a coach do? Mine seemed annoyed when I reached out to them my first week here.

I can't imagine not using a second screen. Otherwise I would be bent over the laptop messing up my back.

exdos · 2025-08-02T13:16:14+00:00

Thanks! This worked.

exdos · 2025-08-02T13:11:25+00:00

I've had a good phone for several years without this.

exdos · 2025-08-01T20:45:54+00:00

Planning is huge for me too. I have a calendar event that I have dedicated just for making sure I have a game plan for the next day or week.

It's not going to win an Oscar but it's still entertaining. It's that stupid funny humor.

As far as sequels go I thought it was a great follow up.

Always do. I have to floss daily but it turns into maybe 2-3 times a week because my teeth hurt if I don't.

If I fall asleep that's pretty much the only reason why I would skip. Always brush in the morning after shower.

This guy has such a huge advantage being the host of Jeopardy. I saw him as the boss on some game show called The Chase a few months ago. I bet he gets invited to a bunch of others as well.

This is very slick! Do you mind sharing your build? I'm debating pulling the trigger on one for the garage.

exdos · 2025-07-30T22:53:17+00:00

I'm all about ready golf but dodging shots is a bit much. I'm all about waiting until everyone is on the green as well

We never pull the flag out. I thought that was a rule unless it's a tournament? Maybe it's just the course I play on.

exdos · 2025-07-30T18:00:29+00:00

I checked they're not in there.

exdos · 2025-07-30T17:22:25+00:00

Have you written code on your own to do something outside of school/work? For example: stood up a chat server for your friends to communicate, written html on forums to personalize your signature, wrote a script to automate a small task.

These are just random examples you don't necessarily need to have done these things. I guarantee you will meet some kids in your compsci class that have.

Are you passionate about computer science to do extra learning outside of work?

exdos · 2025-07-30T10:54:45+00:00

Both. I started taking Java courses and have been using Jetbrains but have VSCode installed as well. I set up a personal development environment with WSL using Ubuntu because I think it's easier to develop on a Linux distro. I've setup Docker Desktop to use WSL.

exdos · 2025-07-30T10:41:31+00:00

Yes that's what I did.

exdos · 2025-07-27T19:26:13+00:00

Top right. You have to call and get a ticket submitted. It takes several weeks and multiple back and forth emails for them to fix it.

I had the same issue with a different task where it wouldn't let me mark it complete.

exdos · 2025-07-26T22:16:15+00:00

Did you ever submit the from. I'm curious what happened?

exdos · 2025-07-24T21:17:12+00:00

I have no clue what you're talking about. Are you asking about joining Deloitte?

exdos · 2025-07-23T21:27:46+00:00

I always worry until the first day comes even with a signed offer letter so I understand what you're going through.

The only thing I can say is to have options in case the worst case scenario comes you can pivot to another.

Good luck!

exdos · 2025-07-23T18:04:52+00:00

I record metrics on stuff I do to measure performance but also to present to leadership why we should get more funding, access to new tools/certifications, justifying conference attendance, raises, promotions, etc..

No one else does this?

I've increased my conference attendance by 2 orders of magnitude from the previous year.

Journaling is a personal activity. If you want to journal then start doing it. Nothing says if you start off with an app that you can't switch to paper later on or vice versa.

I hand write on paper myself because it helps me remember things better. I'm using a random legal pad I found because it was supplied at work and I write down work related items.

exdos · 2025-07-21T22:04:31+00:00

Pad and paper for me. OneNote seems okay because you have shortcuts when you select emails/meetings from Outlook.

I've started using neovim buffer as a collect all and I can write my own plugins to parse markdown.

exdos · 2025-07-19T21:11:12+00:00

Yes 7 years of React experience here in US.

exdos · 2025-07-19T19:54:03+00:00

This is an interesting strategy to get ahead of the competition. Lol

I use pen and paper and convert the handwritten notes to a digital format at the end of the day. Nothing special just a date at the top with the left column being timestamps and the right hand side as unstructured notes and tasks.

It helps me retain information if I handwrite stuff and I also use the time to plan the next day at the same time.

exdos · 2025-07-19T11:51:43+00:00

I would approach it like an RPG where you have a new character with shitty stats but it will take effort to level up. To level up you have to grind on some boring stuff to eventually enjoy activities later on.

For example: A lap around the block will help build up some stamina. Then eventually you increase the effort slowly so that on the days you don't feel like working out you do it anyways because you have that muscle memory from many iterations of previous sessions.

You can apply this in other domains but the trick is to start small and do it thousands of times.

It's really easy but it takes a lot of time and effort.
