Did you read the article? Headcount went from 300 to 8, number of podcast per day went up and apparently listenership went up.
Interesting; if you'd have asked me when Elon took over I'd have said something around 2020-2022. Probably why everyone assumes it's a result of him

I'm the exact same. Sometimes work scratches that itch and I can work a productive 8 hours. Other times it's boring repetitive work and I'll start slacking off.

I've got the opposite problem... Too much implementing not enough architecting

Well you're not wrong. A big reason why I've never checked out rust is because of how rabid the fanbase was for a while. Seems to have simmered down within the past ~6 months though which is nice.
That's what my plan is. Just waiting/hoping housing prices drop within the next year or two. Been waiting a while now though so who knows if they'll actually come down
Re:Poll: How are you doing currently? on Friday May 27, 2022 @01:57PM (#31532638)
I'm doing between kind of okay and mostly good. Finally restarting hobbies that have been on semi hold for the past 2 years. Recently gotten into a new boardgame gloomhaven.

Career wise I'm at a crossroads. I'm about 2 years into my first full time job. I'm looking at any where from 20-100% salary bump if I swap jobs. I'm not looking forwards to going through interviews again. I wish it wasn't the case that job hopping was how career development seems to work, but I guess it is what it is.
