My few cents:

1. Visibility over actual completion of work (presentations, sessions, etc.,)

2. Communication (mainly over email! because email is used as a golden truth when there is a conflict between individuals or teams)

3. Getting to know other members/teams (you don't know when you will end up collaborating with them)

4. Being thorough with reviews (be it code or ideas)

5. Proactively participate in meetings (1. to grab the opportunity 2. refuse to take up the work which is not actually yours)

6. 1x1s - if the manager/management doesn't see your name often you end up in the list (you know what list)

7. Before asking questions in the Slack channel or meetings or an email (do the groundwork, a basic question from a senior will cost a lot)

8. OOO - religiously setting out-of-office saves you lot of troubles

9. Collaboration is only on paper, actually you should put a border around your team and work to guard what's rightfully yours, otherwise the other team will showcase it as theirs!

10. Don't respond on weekends, even if it will break the company. Once you set the bar, you will be expected to live within that bar.

11. There is nothing like "this is critical", what's critical will always have some buffer, tell the truth and ask for extension.

12. Don't go harsh on anyone in a corporate environment, because you will end up working with that person.

13. Attend org wide presentations, you get to know something new or you get to know whom to reach out for what or you get to know what shouldn't be presented

Thanking the author for "13. The work that makes other work possible is priceless - and invisible."

Somehow the apps which are using Electron don't care about RAM. I always use Evernote in browser in a desktop, likewise Slack. Slack app in Mac is horrible.

I have been using Evernote for 10 years. Initially i was on free plan, but the upload limit made me opt for Evernote premium. With premium i never faced an issue with adding a note, searching a note and adding images. I really like their easy integration with browsers and apps. Saving an article is a breeze. Likewise PDFs. As i could see so many complaints from others, there seems to be buggy areas in Evernote. Wish Evernote takes it as constructive feedback and make its product a reliable one. Because, being reliable for so many years means a lot.

For a common man like me it feels like: too much bad publicity change the identity!

Well, Microsoft opting for Chromium will be a big win for Google. As Google has a strong hold on Android mobile user base, for many non-technical users what comes by default is the first browser (may be best browser). Google taps that privilege/monopoly/advantage to their use. Those who comfortably use Chrome in mobile device will obviously opt for Chrome in desktop as well. Because it simplifies their mental model of browser comfort. Microsoft might have done the same thing for decades, but it has been trying to come out of that image for the past of couple of years. IMHO Microsoft is no more an evil. I won't blame Google if it plays fair with respect to its Chrome browser in Android. In many Android phones we can't uninstall Chrome. If we use Chrome actively in Android, it pushes lot of notifications (they will say serving the user with relevant content, but to me its a ad/handle which intend to make me see pages where ads are again controlled by Google). Even in Desktop when i open Google's any of the services using browser other than Chrome, at least in the third world where i live, it suggests me to "Switch to Chrome". Nobody is forcing anyone. But it is very essential to tell the world that there is something better available.
