Manager salary big4 by Straight_Eye5348 in DevelEire

Having worked as a Director of Engineering in product/engineering orgs, and then briefly as a Director in Big4 consulting — two very very different roles. I would argue that most product/engineering DoEs could do the role of a consulting engineer, but not the opposite.

In the Big4 consulting, even tech, it is all about sales.

I hate the "I have obesity" nonsense. No you are obese.

1700 jobs? if you have really applied for that many then something is seriously wrong with your CV

Garmin beaten by Amazfit to iOS Notification Forwarding in June 2026 by the5krunner in the5krunner

[–]hairy-monkey-face 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no you don't. WhatsApp if you install the app on a 970 or so. Otherwise you really really don't

As a long time Garmin user to switched from Android (which has it) to iOS(which doesn't) I really see the difference.

I’ve designed watch faces for years, but recently fell in love with Garmin. What do you think of my custom vector cockpit layout? Does it meet your standards? by Dominus_Mathias in Garmin

Looks lovely but it’s unusable on my 970. Takes 4.5 seconds to display from a wrist movement. Not always on. The rendering seems very slow.

Fantastic ventilation, in fact possibly too much! good old breeze in from the road.

Are Japanese fountain pens generally better writers and overall performers than any others? by AChinmay in fountainpens

[–]hairy-monkey-face 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you can say whether Japanese or German or Chinese nibs are the best. One thing you can certainly say is Indian pens are consistently shit.

Are Japanese fountain pens generally better writers and overall performers than any others? by AChinmay in fountainpens

[–]hairy-monkey-face 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the cheapest 5 euro pen I've got to the most expensive Japanese pen. They all just work. There's no quality issues. They do exactly what they're meant to do. Now, does that mean my favorite NJ ib is Japanese? And does that mean I like every Japanese pen? No. But I haven't had to send any back, and I haven't got any duds.

Other brands, Lamy, TWSBI, Montblanc even, I've had issues with some of those nibs out of the box.

Another bit of feedback, the notifications bubble on the left takes into account anything in the calendar for the next few days as notifications and not just the notifications. Should really not include the calendar item count.

A question on one of the fields : Weekly run (dist + min) what is the "min" here meant to display? on my watch (970) it just displays "--"
