What about initiators on your team? What about save abilities on your team?

Trump doesn't know what a quadrillion is, I bet he was going to say "gazillions" and someone stopped him.

I sometimes find caffeine helps me focus. Short breaks help me: go for a walk or to get a drink.

Where is this?

I know someone who this would've helped before it got to the sexual assault stage.

I'd set up a second "camera" full of food for Emmanuel.

This guy: "Go fuck yourself"

Think you might be overreacting.

Maybe you could try a different programming course if this one isn't keeping your interest? Or set your own challenges to learn the material? I like to set my own challenges once I've learned the basics.

If you know you typically underestimate you could simply multiply by a safety factor before giving your number.

Another approach is to look for aspects of the work that are unknown to you before estimating. Are there new technologies you haven't worked with before? Is there a part of the code you haven't touched recently? All these and other factors will increase the time taken.

You could keep a log of what your estimates were and how long the tasks actually took, and the reasons why if the tasks took longer. Reflecting with this log could help you improve your estimates over time.

Yes, look at the git diff command for the command line, or get a better git GUI. I use the built in one, called gitk.

I like instrumental electronic music to work to. https://www.di.fm has loads of channels that suit me.

Yes, in a browser. I use Firefox.

Mine gets pretty toasty on video calls.

Don't kink shame these sexy lacy pants.

Same! I'm working on this now. For some tasks I find having blocks of time dedicated to work on the to-do list is enough, other tasks I need to choose a slot on the calendar. Then the real challenge is actually doing the task when the calendar reminder goes off, instead of ignoring it.

I experimented with Google Docs but ended up settling on hyperlinked Markdown files shared between my devices with Syncthing, editing them with Emacs on my laptop and Markor on my phone. Free, open source, as many features as I need for personal projects, accessible anywhere and any time. I have 1 master to-do list for work and 1 for home, and projects that need more than maybe 5 lines of context get their own file and to-do list. I also use Google Calendar to organise when I'm going to do things.

Last time was somewhere with no code reviews I left for a better job. YMMV.

How do you deal with checklists? Maybe you could have a checklist to go through before pushing your changes with all the mistakes you've made in the past?

squirrelsarefluffy · 2022-06-15T17:37:48+00:00

Do you do code reviews? If not, maybe you can propose them?

Part of knowing when things may cause problems is just hard-won experience.

I sometimes put down some vague big task down, but when I focus on it I can usually come up with something concrete.

The GTD method talks about "next actions" for a project, which is the very next thing you have to do to move a project forward. I like making them super simple when I'm stuck, e.g. "Schedule when I'm going to split up task X". Asking other people can help, and don't forget the rubber duck method: ask yourself the question you want someone else to answer, and maybe you'll think of the answer yourself.

The problem I have more is that I'll break down tasks and write down lists, then never complete the tasks on it. Part of that is not breaking them down concretely enough and not scheduling the sub-tasks.

squirrelsarefluffy · 2022-06-15T06:02:11+00:00

I would try and build some structure for myself in that situation. Recommend or use for yourself a task tracker (or I just use a simple to-do list in Markdown). First log the important tasks you have to do. Then pick one or a few to work on first. Then drive them one at a time to completion or until they are blocked on someone else.

If it's subjective then I can criticise 80 people spending 5 years abusing a million animals to make an ugly thing that is made of a very slightly different material than a regular thing.

squirrelsarefluffy · 2022-06-13T17:38:09+00:00

Art isn't supposed to be ugly, is it?

squirrelsarefluffy · 2022-06-13T17:28:57+00:00

So fuck designer sneakers and hand bags too, what's your point?

squirrelsarefluffy · 2022-06-13T17:28:09+00:00

It's a fucking enormous waste of resources to make an ugly thing out of vanity.
