I can lock in into almost anything that interests me in any way and most things that just have to be done. The problem is always starting and not being pulled out of it by some distraction.

IT people hate computers.

This. Sometimes it’s enough for one person to be OoO and suddenly you can code in silence, work is being done, standups go from 1 hour to 10 minutes. No extra stupid tasks randomly handed out.

I wish that person at my project had at least 3x more paid vacations.

Rarely, but it happens.

But I can’t shake off the feeling that in most cases recruiters completely misunderstood or misrepresented requirements for the position to get me to the technical interview stage. Like scheduling me for an interview with a team heavy with functional, big data processing while I barely have any purely functional experience.

Non-technical people doing recruitment work is a scam.

My project is doing 12 of those. Guess who has another job interview round next Friday?

Portability, isolation, the ability to run pretty much anything inside. They do consume more resources, but if they’re that much slower then there’s probably something wrong in your setup.

I’ve tried it a few times, never stuck. I guess it’s just convenience, it is a well integrated piece of software, especially if you use both LXC and VMs. Personally I keep using virt-manager and Cockpit.

I’m not sure if any app syncs progress with eReaders, but I haven’t looked into it. Maybe KOreader can? Other than that Audiobookshelf works well with ebooks. I haven’t tested it with graphic novels, but it does handle regular ebooks (PDF and EPUB) just fine.

Translations can get you results ranging from hilarous to horrible. Especially crowdsourced.

Translation got me. It’s Dashboard in English interface.

Go to Cockpit > Libraries > Manage library, there’s an option to automatically refresh metadata from the Internet every 30-90 days.

I’ve seen codebases that had old testValid2 style of test as well as fully fleshed out conversionReturnsNullOnEmptyString style. Working there made me apreciate proper naming. I know different test frameworks in different languages let you name the test separately, but it’s a bit of an effort duplication.
