Good to see this showing up. One thing that's not on the list that I've found helpful: writing about it. Journalling effectively. My aunt said I should and it has helped others understand what I'm going through and it's helping me process it. I'm not through my journey yet. I hope to be

Just around the corner from The Open Book is Richmond Green. And that's where David Attenborough's brother lived; Richard Attenborough. Jurassic Park at the bottom of Richmond Hill and Blue Planet at the top of the hill.

Oh and if you were at Richmond Green today, you could have gone to the May fair.

Mostly my technical blog but also a general about me kind of site https://johnnyreilly.com/
I've just come back from my first trip to Croatia, and this rings true. It's a beautiful place but the prices are high! To quote one of the taxi drivers I chatted to "all the prices have gone up, but is okay; wages have stayed same" - deadpan
Awesome - thank you
This is super interesting - thanks for sharing!

Could you provide some examples of what managers need to know?

Re:Why Blog If Nobody Reads It? on Monday February 10, 2025 @08:14AM (#42999819)
The "future you" aspect mentioned is exactly my rationale for blogging. I've been doing it since 2012 and one of the main reasons was because I kept forgetting things I'd done and thought I should start to note them down. I regularly google things and find my own posts with little to no memory of writing them. https://johnnyreilly.com/

This is the UK equivalent: https://www.toiletmap.org.uk/ - love this stuff!
Long time user of (and contributor to) Docusaurus. I use it to build my markdown powered tech blog. https://johnnyreilly.com/ It is very much a Goldilocks product for me ("just right") in that it has React support, Markdown support, TypeScript support and a good amount of customisation is possible (good underlying APIs). It also has a great community. Props to Sébastien Lorber for leading the project so well!
Re:Serialising ASP.NET method calls for later execution on Thursday May 16, 2024 @03:08PM (#40381952)
Queues are great; but it looks like you're trying to solve a different problem. In my own case, the aim was to store a function for delayed execution. That's slightly different from storing typical state. The interesting bit (hopefully) in here is serialising and deserialising function calls.
Re:How we fixed my SEO on Tuesday November 28, 2023 @03:18AM (#38443549)
Author here; this is a follow up to my post on how my SEO was ruined last year. Wonderfully, through that post trending here, a volunteer stepped forward to help repair things. And this is the story of the repairs!
