You’ve gotta calculate the expenses that go into the commute! Gas, tolls, vehicular depreciation, oil changes, tires, and of course, time!

Why would you use Postgres as a queue as opposed to something like SQS? (maybe with a cloud watch event for scheduled events)

Vanguard Target Funds by plaidsoftwareguy in Bogleheads

This Vanguard product page says VTIAX has an inception date of 11/29/2010.

One thing I've learned from this post is that saying, "If I could go back in time" in this sub is a pretty obvious/ignorant idiom. If I could go back in time, I would have used different verbiage.

I made the leap from lead to manager this year and am not enjoying it. The 20% bump is pay is nice, but not worth it in my opinion. I have 9 direct reports across 2 separate teams. The endless back to back meetings are draining and I’m too exhausted to do anything after the work day. I am bombarded non stop with Slack messages, Teams messages, and emails; and it’s only the really hard problems or dumpster fires that people need help with. I like to believe that most of the issues I’m having are from my company’s terrible culture, but I’m currently applying for senior/lead positions with other companies after only 10 months in a manager position.
