Perhaps Apple cannot acknowledge the foot in their mouth because it would contribute to a systemic collapse of the commercial real estate market... crazy times.

yes because most of us don't know how to turn that off!

Mental health must become a priority when working remote. Separation is a key way to stay ahead of the degradation. Even if you're not a person who tends to go outside, you HAVE TO when you work remote. Lack of face to face interaction will eat you very slowly over the years.

It can't just be with your usual people either. You need to have a level of unexpected interactions with other humans to stay a happy person. I'm not a psychologist, but I've had this happen to me and any other colleague I know who worked remote. It's a very real thing – respect it.

This is something I really wish I understood before going down the road of graphql. I think it's a great technology, but the developers supporting it are making it nearly impossible for a legacy codebase to ever adopt.

Ex: so many JS codebases use redux. Apollo is a popular graphql framework that supported redux integration for some time, then suddenly ripped it out. They cited performance concerns, but I looked through the code myself and it would seem they just have a bias against redux. This issue thread makes that especially evident: https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-client/issues/2273

We were very lucky to have found that before breaking ground on the work.

ACAT is not that simple. Most brokerages charge you a fee of upwards of $50 to do it. If the brokerage is going down and they must invoke an ACAT for you, they eat the fee. Again, it's misinformed to be incurring charges and even potentially taxable events because of your philosophical beliefs in the success or failure of a company.

As someone else here has noted, it is impressive what DPRK has put together with comparatively limited resources. It makes me wonder what the cyber-landscape is going to look like in the coming years as the U.S. continues to ostracize the already scarce few who actually know how to reverse engineer malware, AND have the ethics to properly report it.

Debugging Angular was completely useless without tests too. It would be a waste of time to write anything in Angular without them.

Also, I personally take advantage of failed side projects from the past by open sourcing them. Really helps in interviews!
