I would give Motion a try. I used them for their trial and really enjoyed it. I'm considering paying for the product now. It's at usemotion.com
I'm sure it's flexible and if I put time into it, I could solve all my issues, but the thing I didn't particularly love was that you needed to remember to mark a task as done when you completed it. If you didn't it would keep showing up at other open calendar times. Other than that, it did a great job and making sure I prioritized my most important tasks.
I think it usually comes down to Angular vs React for most legitimate decisions for longer term, maintained projects. I prefer Angular because all the major modules are built-in and you know what to expect when you open a new project. React reminds me of PHP sometimes because you never know what you're walking into. And two different React projects can look drastically different.
Looks cool! I remember when I started easyunsubscriber.com. Unsubscribe.com was a competitor and later unroll.me also came around. Both eventually were acquired, I stopped running easyunsubscriber when I couldn't monetize. I think all of these companies had trouble monetizing and had different plans, but eventually weren't able to and got acquired and put into a larger toolset or shut down.

On the injury topic, I used to pull muscles all the time. I would probably pull a muscle every 3-4 months that would sideline me for a month or two. This seemed to stop when I started doing yoga once or twice a week. I don't do it as much as I should anymore, but if you're getting injured lifting weights, I highly, HIGHLY suggest you give yoga a try.
I'm very unfamiliar with this, but is there additional ongoing costs in terms of extra energy consumption? Do you know if this rig is changing your monthly energy costs?
That sounds useful. The problem I had on Tinder was most of the guys used it to look for friends, so I'd get a match and see pictures of someone clearly in a relationship and no indication they were looking to add anyone to it. And the women all had bible quotes for bios, so I didn't have any basis for starting a conversation.
I heard they added a way to select nonbinary as a gender, but still force you to pick one or both of the binaries for interests.
It's fantastic. I loosely followed it for a few years to get better at interviewing (Note: For interviews, you generally need data structures and algorithms knowledge).
Now I'm following it pretty closely while selecting classes for my software engineering master's degree.
If you would take a bonus and make it part of my salary, I could deal with that. However, when there's a bonus that makes one company's offer $35K more lucrative than another, that tips the scales.
I've never seen bonuses lead to poor work environments. Can you elaborate on some of your experiences?
I can give a correlation (not really causation) example:
An external recruiter talks to an engineer who graduated uni last year and has been a one-man show at a nonprofit. The engineer is looking for a place with mentorship and code review. Recruiter says he can get $120k total comp.
He goes to the company and tells them about a dev whom he’s known for years that a brilliant senior-level engineer who’s led the technical team of a nonprofit startup accelerator. Company interviews the engineer. Gives him an offer for $95k.
Recruiter negotiates for $25k of bonus opportunity and the contract is signed. Engineer joins and spends his first month trying to figure out what team he should be on. He bounces around a few different projects with a mix of success, package management bugs, and utter confusion. Gets some of the bonus. After a year, he learns of how the recruiter sold him in the final conversation with HR.
In trying to frame this question, I would suggest having the end in mind. What do you want to be doing in 5 or 10 years? I don't know if you have an answer to that question, but you should give it some thought.
Once you have that answer, I would think about what decisions you will need to make in the short term to get there. Do you want to be an architect? Do you want to be a CTO? Do you want to be a team lead? Do you want to start a company?
If you have (or can get) clarity on where you want to be, I would suggest keeping the end in mind in order to make decisions today. Let's say you want to be an architect in 5 years. Maybe the management route is taking away from you gaining the expertise you will need to succeed in that role. However, if you want to be a CTO in five years, then you are probably technical enough and need to improve as a manager.
There isn't an answer that someone can give you for this specific situation. It really depends on you and where you want to go in your career.
I'm sure it's flexible and if I put time into it, I could solve all my issues, but the thing I didn't particularly love was that you needed to remember to mark a task as done when you completed it. If you didn't it would keep showing up at other open calendar times. Other than that, it did a great job and making sure I prioritized my most important tasks.
