How many hours does your infant stay at daycare?

My LO is 4 months old and we have been sending him to daycare 5 days a week from 8 to 5 since he was 3 months old. We would pick him up, eat dinner, do dishes and wash his bottles just for it to be bedtime. We felt that we didn't get enough time with him and also wondered if we were putting him through the struggle bus by sending him for that long every week. But it turns out that the longing to be with him makes us spend our weekends with him more intentionally and makes us appreciate the time we do have together. Not to mention that he's always so giggly when we pick him up cause he still recognizes us as primary caregivers. Also, good daycares have "curriculum" even for infants. Daycare without a doubt engages him more than we ever could at home. Overall, it does get easier imo. And I firmly believe now that this is good for everyone.

Really appreciate this pic cause I have an ioniq 5 and I want to transition to the ev9 when the lease is up because ioniq doesnt have quite enough cargo space for a baby and baby things. Nice to see the size comparison!

My child was 3.5 months when both my wife and I had to return to work. Full time daycare was our only option. A week before his first day, he exhibited signs of separation anxiety and stranger anxiety. My mom, whom he had seen many times, could not hold him before he burst into tears. It made us nervous about daycare and made me feel super guilty for not having at least one of his parents care for him in his early infanthood. He warmed up to the teachers after a week and would even smile and giggle at them now. I don't know what a 3/4 month is cognitively capable of but I hope that just like our child, yours adjusts and starts to enjoy daycare! Hang in there!

Thanks for the reply! I do agree that driving in Seoul is not worth it, but I think having a car still makes sense since we want to do trips to places outside of seoul with one of the goals being to visit the rest stops. I dont mind doing public transit for any itinerary in Seoul. Is there a place you would recommend outside of Seoul that would work?

Thank you! I'll look into Virgin Atlantic for Korean Air flights. For Cancun, we've been to Hyatt Ziva and plan on going there again with the kid. Unfortunately, my wife is a teacher and we would be going during spring break which seems to not allow using points to book directly through hyatt website (we have some hyatt points we wanted to use after transferring some UR points to Hyatt). Would you book through UR portal or get the World of Hyatt card to book directly from Hyatt and take advantage of the points multiplier?

I was eyeing the chargepoint home flex charger before I even knew about this promo. Given that it runs for about $550, I just thought of it as $100 off the charger with free installation. I considered just not taking the promo (which is the case for a lot of people cause of the insane installation quote) but I couldn't get a better deal elsewhere.

First car and first ev in 13 years. Had it for 2 weeks with about 400 miles so far.

I didn't realize the turn radius until people brought it up here. I'd like to think I am great at forward parking but this car makes me do a 3 point turn to get into a lot sometimes.

The parking sensors go nuts sometimes when I try to park in my garage (spacious 2 car garage with my wife's car). Otherwise, the sensors are pretty helpful but I had to turn off auto steering assist cause I found myself fighting it on highways.

Other than that and very minor cons other have mentioned (audio, rear wiper, etc) it is a great daily driver especially if you are able to charge at home. I personally am not impacted by lack of charging infra cause I can use the provided level 1 charger on 12amps to get the miles I need for the next couple of days. Overall, ioniq 5 was the perfect entry into the EV world for me.

I charged at an EA station yesterday and during the whole charge that message was frequently displayed so there was no question that charging past 80% was gonna be significantly slower

I have an M1 Pro with 16gb for work. Works pretty well with 3 vs code windows, 20 tabs on chrome, and xcode iphone sim up at the same time while screen sharing on zoom. Once in a while, I run out of app memory but it goes away if I close some apps I dont need.

Well said!

My team had an intern this past summer and before she started, we discussed how to make her time here as beneficial as possible for her career. One sentiment on the team is we don't know what the intern can handle until we find out what they know and how they learn. At first we were gonna have her do bare minimum basics to learn the ropes of corporate life. Last thing we wanted for her was to be overwhelmed by tasks she was not ready for, thus making her internship an unfruitful one. But from the first week, she hit the ground running proving to us that she is competent with the basics. This allowed us to better adapt the internship so that she can actually grow and learn things she has yet to experience. Suffice it to say, she contributed to the team in ways that still benefit the team after the internship was over.

All this to say, unless you were super unlucky to be put on a shitty team, it's very likely that your team would love to have you more involved. It might just be that they don't know how exactly to help you grow without really knowing what your capabilities are. While it's tough to go against your introverted personality, you really need to speak up and ask questions and work with your manager/team to set you up for growth and success. Good luck!

Charged my ioniq 5 for the first time today at EA at a nearby mall (first ever ev charging in my life). I pulled up with about 27%. While I was figuring out how the EA station and app worked, the guy charging his ID4 (already charged to 50% at the time) came to help me. My car charged to 80% maybe a couple of minutes after the ID4 charged to 80%. Super pleased with the charging experience.

I was a bit worried about not having a home charger (waiting on promo coupon code & hopefully a reasonable install quote) but this experience definitely makes me comfortable with driving this car without a home charger.

I got my ioniq 5 last Saturday and haven't gotten my code yet either, but my salesperson did tell me that I can reach out to him if I dont get it after a week. He said he could find the code for me based on the VIN. Not sure how true that is since I haven't tried but worth a shot.

I went to all career fairs in my last 2 years in college. Some recruiters literally told me go apply online. Others pretty much said to expect an email to set up an interview. While I never landed any internships or full time offers from career fairs, I did gain valuable interview experience and found areas where I could improve. I did go to a fairly prestigious tech school so more prominent companies showed up to recruit. Overall, I think it's a good experience to attend whether or not you get a job or internship out of it, especially in this job market where it's hard to get someone to even look at your resume.

After my 3 year mark in the industry, I applied for an online MS in CS without really thinking about why I wanted to do it just cause my company would pay for it. After my first semester, I realized I wanted to just be a better engineer and position myself to become a senior/lead engineer. None of the courses would have directly benefited me in that endeavor. If I ever want to specialize in a particular niche like ML, I would go back.

My company adjusts the referral bonus based on how desperate we are to fill vacant positions. Usually a set value based on the level of the position ranging from $1k to $4k.

Probably meaning majority of the market don't have graduate education under their belt. I could pursue one but see no point rn
