I was recently elevated to engineering manager at the company I work with. I've been wanting this opportunity for some time although the circumstances in which I got the title are not exactly what I pictured. I have spent some time thinking about previous managers I've had and what qualities (good & bad) they exhibited. Mostly looking to expand my knowledge and reflect on the kind of eng...
Geographically Taiwan is easier to isolate. It is also a much smaller and denser country. Ukraine has a direct border with a NATO country that has been very useful as a safe staging area. Taiwan would be completely reliant on sea and air for resupply.
As a Taiwanese American, I do believe my cousins would put up a valiant fight. However it is hard to imagine it lasting very long without foreign boots on the ground. A conflict of any length in Taiwan would result in a huge loss of life.
One thing the book points out is that since the first SWAT team was formed in LA back in the 1960s, even law enforcement agencies with as few as 28 officers have SWAT teams. One of the things the author attributes this to is a "me too" attitude where one department hears another local agency has a SWAT team with special equipment and weapons. Somewhat jealously the agency decides they need one too. Even if the population they are serving has no history of the kinds of violent and/or dangerous crimes that normally require SWAT.
For me, I realized that what I should have been doing was just communicating my thoughts and feelings better. Meanwhile being able to accept my own limitations. Can you become a romantic overnight? Can you be completely open and honest about all your fears? Of course not, these things take time to learn how to do successfully and naturally. You might realize you cannot fulfill everything for your partner and maybe it won't work.
Realistically there are a lot of relationships that will fail. We tend to think their ending is some sort of cataclysm. The author put's this so well:
"There are ways to be wounded and ways to survive those wounds, but no one can survive denying their own needs."
At some point you need to be honest with yourself about what you need in life at an emotional level. It is very hard to go through life pretending otherwise or constantly sacrificing for nothing in return. For me that is the lesson of the Crane Wife tale.

Anyways, like other people have mentioned timing can be very useful. In trying to leave I was offered raises and from one guy a chance to take on whatever role I wanted to. Still leaving though.
Which reminds me of some wisdom from Dominic Toretto "It don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning's winning."
I am still using 1.2.1, but I am excited about the more streamlined npm integration in 1.3.
Part of me wants to focus on the things I believe will improve processes and make life easier for everyone. But I feel like in a rut so I find it is difficult to push myself.
I certainly do.If I did not need to be saving money currently I think I would have left already. I honestly struggle through each day for the past one or two months or so. The work that has been given to be is a combination of tedious, non-challenging, and unrelated to what I initially hired to do. There was a time where I did some interesting things, but that was at least 6 months ago.How do...
Maybe we get the impression that people who work with web facing technologies are the loudest because they will have very popular repos on GitHub. Remember though, there are plenty of people who have solved equally complex problems who cannot share their work for various reasons.
Those people probably have a right to say they are a rock star, but not a lot of people will ever know outside their job / company.
I am quite lazy myself, but I have tried to be discipline when it comes to projects and learning. One chapter a day or create some new functionality by some date. Setting small digestible goals makes things easier.
