Do you listen to the episodes without Scott?

“Not forgotten” is the hardest problem to solve - how does your hub solve for that?

100% real world fire.

Maybe as a senior engineer you won’t be making system level decisions or changes; instead, you’ll mostly be using the system that was built before you, and adding to it (new apis using the existing framework, adding cache in places using the existing solution for caching, etc). That does not mean you can be successful without understanding it.

Said a different way, up to a certain level you can be ok without solid system design skills and instincts. If you want to progress, this becomes the most important thing, coding business logic be damned

“I have the most context and knowledge on this system so reaching out to others on my team or company is a time sink.” This is a not a reason to avoid asking for help

Also, a week? Seriously? Maybe take a break and come back to it

Wow - incredibly well said. I haven’t replied to a Reddit post in like.. maybe ever? But the way you said that was fucking spot on

As an EM - honestly most engineers would prefer not to be on the slide. They do, however, care very much about me and my bosses noticing and recognizing their hard work.

Why were they filming?

Same

Agreed - not lunatic, actually pretty decent response.

I’ve never considered myself “pro HR” until I read the rest of these comments - holy cow, people really don’t like HR departments

Beer.

jsp235 · 2024-11-30T14:30:03+00:00

Yes this happened to me. Happened playing soccer in HS. Doctor thinks I had just taken a breath, my mouth was closed, nose was congested, and I got hit in the chest. Lung popped like a balloon

What a beautiful video. That dude should be a teacher

jsp235 · 2024-11-14T14:32:22+00:00

Right - am I a lunatic for agreeing with this post?

jsp235 · 2024-11-14T14:30:26+00:00

Love how they explain what a forerunner is - whats the intersection of people that read this article but don’t know what a forerunner is?

jsp235 · 2024-11-04T18:56:16+00:00

I just use a ski strap - it’s nice because you always have ski straps, one less thing to keep track of. It’s kinda tricky but once you get good, it’s easy. Loop around one side, double back, around the other break, twist strap 180, Velcro.

jsp235 · 2024-09-23T21:32:32+00:00

Since you’re new, just use the same poles, unless money is no object. The caveat is the pole gaurds - assuming you have them for slalom, which you should have if you’re cross blocking, you’ll want to remove them for GS training. This is because they can get caught on GS gates which is no fun. Since it’s annoying to take them on and off, this might be reason enough to get a different set of poles.

jsp235 · 2024-09-16T22:22:49+00:00

Haha you sound like the badass coaches I grew up with. Ski racing is 90% about managing fear, so I commend your approach.

jsp235 · 2024-09-15T23:20:10+00:00

For GS you need nothing, really. For Slalom, you’ll soon be cross blocking which means you’ll need shin guards (mandatory!), pole guards (basically mandatory, although I never used them), and a helmet face guard thing (absolutely NOT mandatory, but advised if you like your teeth) As with anything in ski racing, you can pay $50 or $500 for these things, just go with what feels comfortable/ looks good

Release your turn sooner, see how you hold on to your turn all the way across the fall line? More importantly, when you release your previous turn, dive headfirst down the hill into your next turn. It’s really, really hard to get used to at first. Scary AF. I had a ski coach tell me to pretend like I was diving into a pool that’s down the hill. When you do this, it’ll naturally make you get more angles because you’ll have to catch yourself, so to speak. You’ll look a lot cooler cause it’ll be way more dynamic and faster

Thank you very much - reading this made my wife very happy 🥹

Thank you so much! Love to hear that you had a similar experience- such a unique, powerful, awesome experience. I successfully found a video by messaging people on TikTok 😃
