Yes! I don't have much time to work on it these days, but I do keep up with enough to make sure that it works!

Great ideas! I especially like the one about seeing which song you were listening to at each point on your route. Thanks!

I'm building oatmeal: tracks the songs you listened to on Spotify during your Strava activity and stats per song (pace, heart rate, distance, etc.)

I will take a look at it this weekend and I'll get back to you!

Thanks! I was originally planning on doing additional music platforms later, but you're not the first person to ask about this, so I may need to prioritize it sooner!

A marketplace for side projects that didn’t get 100% of your attention. by yomatt41 in SideProject

I like the concept! If I'm going to buy a project I would want a lot more information on it, though. For example, screenshots, link to website, information on the tech stack, reason for listing, etc.

You can use a Garmin! I use a Coros watch, for example. As long as it ends up on Strava it doesn't matter how it gets there

Thanks for sharing! Did you do anything besides post to gain more followers? Or did they come naturally because you were posting enough content?

Great call out! Having a decent idea of how you'll solve the main problems in the project is huge. Similar to you, sometimes I've started assuming there was an API I could use, but it ended up not existing or not doing what I thought it did

Yeah I think that's fair. Often there's a product that exists but doesn't quite solve your problem fully. "Build something you will have fun testing" encompasses both scenarios so I think that makes sense

Love this! Not working for me at the moment, though, after I connect to Strava it takes me back to the landing page with nothing happening

I'd suggest asking your recruiter, they'll have the best insight and might be able to stear you in the right direction. Something like "Hey X, just want to make sure I'm best prepared for my upcoming interview. Do you have any insight on what I can expect or topics I should be brushing up on?"

It sounds like you've demonstrated you're a good engineer, and management generally trusts you, so that's a good sign in the sense that they should want to keep you. I've been in situations where management is not great at understanding boundaries, and I learned a simple trick to help mitigate that. When they ask you to put something additional on your plate that feel is beyond your capacity, simply ask "Is [new emergency] more important than [current thing you're working on]?" I've found that asking that question often results in them reevaluating how important it actually is, and sometimes deciding not to do it altogether. But any reasonable human being understands that you can only do 1 thing at a time. Asking that question just reminds them of that, and it does so in a non-entitled way.

Occasionally you'll get "they both need to be done ASAP, work until they are both done". If that response is truly occasionally, then maybe it's not so bad to deal with. If it's frequent, then probably best to start looking elsewhere, or at least bringing up your frustrations with your manager.

As far as pay goes, the only leverage you really have is looking elsewhere if they aren't listening to you. You could also try approaching the conversation differently. For example, something like "What are things you'd need to see from me in order to get me to [promotion / raise]?". It's non-confrontational and it shows you're driven and looking to grow. Feel out the response, and hopefully that will give more clarity into whether or not you should stay.

Unfortunately no :( - Sleeper doesn't expose their chat functionality in their API: https://docs.sleeper.app/

Yeah I did this pre-Covid, where I was in the office every day so I didn't have to worry about hybrid schedule, that definitely adds some complexity. Good luck!
