My issue is not that if icon represents what the application does but they all look alike.
The old school icons, even if they were not good representation of what applications did, were distinguishable from a distant. Once you memorized the icon, you would easily find it, on your machine or someone else’s. Even on very crowded desktop, each icon stood out.
You can’t always select the bottom 20%. Sometimes, whole teams or departments are eliminated. Employees are simply a number with cost and only thing matters is cost. They almost never look at individual performance or productivity.
If your manager or director is not getting laid off with you and you have a good relationship with them, then they might fight to keep you.
Based on anecdotal data, companies don’t look at any personalized resume. Much better use of your time to send your standard cover letter and resume. Just apply to positions where you are, at least, 80% match. And yes you will never find 100% match, most employers make up requirements anyways.
Yes, it is so easy to enable this setting, they even keep sending us notifications to enable it. But once enabled, it is impossible to disable it.
It is a setting that let your power company to change your temperature settings when grid is under load. We wouldn’t mind it but they turned our heat way down during one freezing night while we were sleeping. Everyone woke up with cold next day.
The way I understand is that it is not FOV but zoom level. If you look through a camera with 50mm lens, the subject and background should appear same size as when viewed with naked eyes. Doesn’t matter if it is full frame or crop sensor.
I was very close to quitting software development but luckily I didn’t. I was frustrated with work-life balance, interview processes, etc.
Here people are comparing software development with minimum wage jobs and saying you should be thankful. Ok try comparing with equivalent jobs.
Many non-tech corporate jobs have similar or better work life balance. I have friends who were recently hired with one or two interviews. Pay may not be as high but their stress levels also seem a lot lower.
So I came close to switching career, took classes, talked to potential employers, they seemed eager to hire me. But I got cold feet. I thought about my dreams and decided to pursue one of my hobbies as a side business with ultimate goal of doing it full-time. At this point, job is simply a means to end
Yeah, I have heard that one way to ruin a hobby is to monetize it. Maybe it will happen to me eventually but I don’t feel burned out anymore. I’m energetic every morning, I work hard at my current job because it is providing seed money for my dream business.
This is to say go ahead try switching industry, take classes, make new friends, figure out something. Talking to various people actually helped me figure out my dreams.
