Age is also something that matters here. Are you middle-aged yet? I ended up pulling the brakes on my career to get a better work-life balance, but it ended up stunting my career trajectory a bit.

Once I had more free time and realized I wanted to earn more, I had to hustle to get back to a top-of-market position.

In short: there’s always time on the future to pivot to Option B. If there’s more value to extract where you are, milk it for all it’s worth and then exit before it goes south (as all jobs do).

I always feel like the features I’ve worked on become my coworkers or like pets. When a specific feature breaks often, I’ll think “damnit Frank! One of these days I’m going to patch that edge case once and for all!”

Then I patch Frank and he quiets down so I can focus on the next thing leadership wants.

You get to know these things and you put care into designing them (if you didn’t put care into them, you’d likely be a hack of an IT person). It’s always hard to see them go.

Sorry for your loss.

You may be joking, but as long as you’re actually good at what you do, being a dickhead can be a winning strategy.

I’ve never been able to do it myself, but know many who have.

Great perspective and approach. If someone like you even has a modicum of emotional intelligence, they’d be one of the best leads I’ve ever seen.

This. Blocking communities you find annoying is the better solution.

Sounds like one of the friendships that people really cherish. You must also be a friendly person to attract someone like him. Thank you for being that kind of friend.

Thanks for posting this, friend. Friends are the family we choose, and it looks like you two were family.

Wish you a swift journey as your grief blooms into an even deeper appreciation for to is man who is your friend.

I tend not to finish them as well. I think I just like the exploration and learning part, then I get bored when it comes time to apply what I learned and power through content.

Red Dead 2 after the main story line… and then we got the epilogue!

I wonder how much power it’ll have

Thanks for sharing this. I suck at geography and couldn’t wrap my head around the fires.

Also love those Corridor Digital guys.

Enjoyed this :D

I’m interested in it regardless of the length of an article, right?

For you, maybe, but not for me. I literally didn’t read your whole comment that I’m replying to right now because it was too long.

My attention is conditional.

Immediate family (spouses especially) are ALWAYS the primary suspect until they can be ruled out

Chicken chicken chicken. Grill up tons of it. You can add things like a red sauce (go easy on the tomatoes because of the natural sugars), pesto, Alfredo sauce, Italian dressing, etc…

Grilled/baked chicken will likely be a main protein.

I also really love pot roast (there are great keto recipes out there that taste phenomenal). Grilling a steak is always a delightful treat.

Make sure you eat plenty of greens with each meal and take a multivitamin to keep your body from being deficient.

Sugar-free Gatorade is really helpful for fighting the “low carb flu” in the early days of switching to ketosis (as it’s the low electrolytes that make you feel those flu symptoms).

Best of luck! Not everyone can do keto, so I hope it works for you (my SO ended up getting a rash on their back that scarred because of the acetone produced by their body from migrating over to ketosis; never happened to me, though).

Lived In Atlanta for a time and the annual pass was only 2x the price of a 1-day admission and we went almost every weekend. One of the few things I remember fondly about ATL

Already do remote play through my phone with a backbone, so this would just give me a bigger screen, I guess

Of course I know him: he’s me!

Maybe it’s just me, but those don’t seem like huge changes… I’m surprised peeps are pissed about it.

Maybe they’re more upset about the principle of the changes (prudence because of ESRB)…?

It’s like gamers being mad if they reduced Tifa’s cup size in a remake of FF7. Is that really a change worth being upset about? I just don’t understand the perspective, I guess.

Dang, you are patient!
