Thought I might follow up since I had an interview today - I never stop interviewing - and was asked about duration. My off-the-cuff response was “if a company invests in its employees, offers growth and promotes internally, then I will work for a place longer. If it does not and only offers a dead-end role with no appreciable growth, then I will look for that opportunity elsewhere.”

18 months is the Holmes limit at Bank of America and Wells Fargo - they terminate you and let you know when you start that it’s going to happen. It’s normal in fintech. But don’t change without a funded and secured offer.

This is a good one that often goes unspoken. It enforces role play.

It’s a lot easier than I initially thought: just write down a high-level, abstract sentence fragment of what needs to be done. Get it off your chest and put it in ink (or pixels?). Then ask yourself: how can I split this into two parts? Rinse and repeat.

The initial limiter for me was anxiety and fear about it. Once I got into the habit, the limiter was avoiding hyperfocus and micromanaging myself in the project plan. I try not to break things down beyond 1-2 hour tasks.

I had to learn to be my own PM and do the whole task grooming bit. Checking things off gamified the process.

How to make lots of friends and enrich the lives of everyone around you:

1. Play Kenya
2. Lock screen
3. Go to lunch

Right-clicking and inspecting the end of it is interesting. It’s like html waltz

I’m not really going to address the speaker directly since after reading NSF forums for a few years, I’m convinced aerospace engineers can devolve any innocent or academic discussion into 4chan levels at rates exceeding the speed of light. Of note: the speaker doesn’t speak to anything specific that is being worked on to address issues, and only addresses “linux” as a whole, which is about as useful as addressing SVR4 as a whole.

I will address the blog writer as not being particularly diligent in filling that gap, though. Here’s a few links of what’s going on in that realm since there’s people here of all walks and ages:

Wind River RTLinux

Zephyr Project

OSADL SIL2LinuxMP

Xenomai

I can vouch for podman. It can run daemonless and rootless, symlinks to docker.sock and the ui works with both kubernetes (kind & minikube) and most of the docker desktop extensions.

Nope, it’s all light theme with comic sans and small caps for me
