A couple of rules I have that have worked for me so far is:

Colleagues, tasks, compensation - if at least two of the three are good, it's fine to stay. If not it's time to look for something new.

The first year is a learning year, the second is a productive year, and the third is a "what else can I get out of this place" year. If nothing changes in the third year, then there's not much more to learn from the company and it's maybe time to move on.

Norwegian has the phrases "fra og med" and "til og med", where the "og med" means "including". So "from and including Monday" removes the ambiguity.

They recently discovered the gene for shyness. It was hiding behind two other genes.

12+ years experience as a software engineer in small but growing companies, working on medical research, web applications, and data analysis. The last years I've been building pipelines for data scientists and bioinformaticians, with a focus on automation, data quality and reproducability. I'm interested in continuing down this path of working with (data) scientists, but open for suggestions. Send me an email, and let's chat!

Yes, I'm happy with the flow. In Firefox I have a button that adds the article with one click, and in Safari on iOS it's two clicks; share -> instapaper.

I've been happily using Instapaper for this for many years. I add interesting articles to it from all over and then read and highlight in the app/web app right away or later. If I read an article directly, I still tend to add it to Instapaper to keep track of it, espesially if I found it interesting.

Cool project! A simple solution that worked for my balcony and window sills was to leave a few cm of reflective tape [1] in some strategic places.

Thanks for this list!

A favourite of mine is heardle (https://www.heardle.app/): Guess the song based on the first seconds.

I've enjoyed Data Visualization Handbook by Koponen and Hildén - https://datavizhandbook.info/

Take a look at the table of contents on that link, it could be a good fit for what you're looking for.

Youtube is painful to use without certain add-ons for me. For this specific issue I'm happy using "Clickbait remover for youtube": https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/clickbait-rem...

Another good one is "DF YouTube (Distraction Free)": https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/df-youtube/

Very cool! I built something in python a while back, to track each project's history by detecting if a virtual environment/venv is active: https://github.com/haraball/pystory

According to Instapaper, the O'Reilly article is a 43 minute read.

Your app looks great! I'm hacking on something related, so always fun to see new takes in this space. Did you try Instapaper as an alternative to Pocket? No intrusive features, great reading experience. I'm a happy paying customer and user for over a decade now.

Thanks for your perspective. This approach could be useful to present to companies where reluctance to managers and structure are prevalent.

I found this blog post [1] on twitter where people were looking for literature on "office politics". It has some good points:

> Instead, I think of them in terms of what the modern corporate structure has done to them: Broken the losers, tricked the clueless, and forced the sociopaths into ethical conundrums.

> To be specific, I propose that we name the losers, clueless and sociopaths to “pragmatists, idealists and opportunists.” Their roles, relationships and dynamics remain the same ...

The book Peopleware had a nice description of cubicles:

"Today’s modular cubicle is a masterpiece of compromise: It gives you no meaningful privacy and yet still manages to make you feel isolated. You are poorly protected from noise and disruption; indeed in some cases, sources of noise and disruption are actively piped into your space. You’re isolated because that small lonely space excludes everyone but you (it’s kind of a toilet stall without a toilet). The space makes it difficult to work alone and almost impossible to participate in the social unit that might form around your work."

Though if you get a new job during the period the non-compete is valid, the amount can be reduced down to 50%, depending on your income. The company also can't enforce the non-compete if they fire you. The Norwegian way of handling this is good, I think.
