Or maybe you are building more features than two years ago, which is reflecting positively on other KPIs.

You were building one house (feature) per year. After finishing the house you found a few issues (bugs). You get your plumber, electrician..etc to fix each issue.

After two years, you start building 10 houses per year. When you finish, you find twice or x times as many issues (bugs) as before. Does that mean your workrate and productivity declined or that things are going downwards?

I'm not saying AI is the joker and solving everything. I think there is a bigger picture to consider whether AI is having a good or no impact on the company you are working for. Did you release more features than before, what about MRR, CSAT,..etc?

I just ask claude and ask for sources for each one.

Where is the link sorry? Has something changed in the design of HN lately that I can't find the link.

Could be younger generation maybe? I've had bad experience with 40+ in my line of work. But obviously not everyone.

I speak 4 languages fluently. Here is what helped:

1- Speak slowly. Don't rush it

2- Its fine to formulate what you want to say in your mind before saying it. take your time.

3- Use a phone and record yourself speaking about different subject. Practice, practice and practice.

4- Some audiences are harder than others. French people for example tend to nitpick and want you to be really fluent. While most english speakers are fine with your speaking, but it depends on the audience and who you are speaking to.

5- You obviously need to immerse yourself in the language you want to speak. Tv-shows, Movies, News and even tabloid. The latter is actuallt good to understand jokes, innuendos and other subtle conversations.

One thing I also noted, is that if you follow/watch people who are not native speakers, they actually tend to explain things/concepts better. Because they are limited in words and have limited scope compared to native speaker. Anyone remarked this?

Make your manager's manager look good. Because only then you would be able to go up the food chain (assuming that is the goal. your manager may become your competitor/peer in this case).

Are you by any chance applying to european jobs while residing in canada? This is a big no no. At the least you should have an address in the country you are applying for and a local phone number.

Applying with a CV from Canada with canadian details would probably eliminate you from the process early on. I say this as someone who was trying to work in the UK while living in Germany. The minute I changed address/phone things started to look better.

You may even mention this on your CV sayong that you are looking to move or already moved to that country.

And that is where the issue is. Just because you have a specific belief/views, doesn't make you more/less stupid or more/less intelectual. Having a specific religion doesn't suddently turn off your brain and tells you not to become a good developer, a good person or good scientist.

So you wouldn't have hired Alkhawarizmi, who was a pious muslim? after whom Algorithm is named and who is considered the father of Algebra.

You are reducing people to binary 0 and 1's. Humans are far advanced and complex creatures than you believe them to be.

This will be a different advice from what you expect, but be thankful for all things you have.

Stop worrying about being more productive and making a lot more money. I'm not saying you shouldn't think about this things, but don't let worries about those things consume you and become your whole life.

Understand that on average you are living better than kings and queens did thausend years ago or even 100 years ago. Got a fridge? well be thankful for that. Got heating, a bed, bath, clothes, food that you like? you are living the dreams of billions of people who can't have any of it. Just be thankful for things before you want to get more.

Happiness is doing more and expecting less.

There are toastmasters in the UK too

Looks like a nice idea. Maybe try targeting a niche or a specific industry?

I agree the UX needs a revamp.

Unless the user decides to leave Windows Media Player playing in the background in a loop to circumvent the lock.

2021 will be a riots year. High unemployement, GDPs going down, Oil down, major economical crisis throughout 2021.

Big players in airline, restaurant and other hard hit businesses will go bust.

US war on Iran with some major development in the region especially Irak/Yemen.

Vaccination will be accepted by majority of people either through good results seen on elderly, or through a vaccine pass required by businesses.

freecodecamp is very beginner friendly and starts from scratch. Start with HTML/CSS and then Javascript.

Merry Christmas from a muslim here. Have a wonderful time and a happy new year.

Wish 2021 will be better than 2020.
