More powerful organization tools compared to browsers, but most importantly, I can switch browser at no cost, use multiple of them without worrying about synchronization, and access them on other PCs.
I also thought it was useless until I tried it
I’ve seen this point used a lot and never agreed to it. I think it’s true only for big already established companies/systems, and absolutely not true for startups and consulting jobs. Especially because in those type of environments companies tends to hire for specific tech stacks and business knowledge.
I'm talking about finance, and not the big company end of it. Every company ends up doing things in a very custom way, and it does take a long time to train people up, even in small operations.
On the same note, I always think that any change or action leads to unforeseeable results in the future. Literally, you stepping in a shit yesterday could lead to you becoming president in 10 years. The butterfly effect is real and continuously acting on an enormous scale, this is why you should never be too sad or angry about any event, as it is neither good nor bad because no one knows what effect it will have in the long run.
I work with two long term clients (one has two projects going on, the other three), plus I have my own personal projects.
Linear has become a vital part of my workflow. The first thing is that splitting tasks by teams (client 1, client 2, and me) and then by project for each team allows me to do some neat stuff:
1. I have a global view, where i can see the status of each single ticket. I use this because when I’m selecting my next task. I don’t know if I’m gonna choose something from client 1, client 2, or my personal project
2. I have a “bug” view that aggregates every task with a bug label, it’s the first thing I check when selecting a new task, same reason of .1
3. I have a view for each client, that aggregates the tasks from every project of that client. I use this when I’m doing a call with the client and I have to update them on the status of each project
Before Linear I was using multiple Trello boards and then using a power up to sync all of them in multiple aggregation board, to essentially replicate the same workflow. Also, it feels more native then trello, it’s quicker than Jira and the key lard shortcut are super handy when I’m creating a lot of tasks, since I have to duplicate each task from the client ticketing system.
How is a terrible deal? I would literally need to spend at least a 1000 dollars for a gaming pc, and that is 4 years of GeForce now, without considering maintenance, the space, etc.
I’m playing cyberpunk 2077 max settings on a 2cm thick MacBook Pro, I don’t have a bulky pc to move every time I move, and most importantly, if I ever get bored I’ll simply stop paying instead of having a pc collecting dust
There's no doubt that cloud gaming services are convenient, but you give up a lot for that. If you don't really care about having access pulled out from under you, or your games being censored/changed, or your personal data being collected and used against you than it's probably worth it, but for gamers and gaming as a whole it's a problem.
You don't even need a bulky PC. You can get a gaming laptop if your worried about space/mobility. No doubt the video cards are expensive though.
The problem is that you have minimal control of your game. If Google bans your YouTube account b/c your video of you walking your dog recorded a restaurant playing a copyrighted song, then you could also lose your entire collection of games.
Looks like multiple games/developers have already been pulled off of the service and there's no shortage of people posting about being banned or locked out of their accounts. I'm sure the convenience is nice when it all works, but you have to give up a whole lot for that.
The test might be longer, but I don’t have to spend time studying and practicing something I’ll never use on the job. I use the same knowledge I build up while working
I hope people don’t downvote your comment.
I seriously contemplated suicide in the past multiple times, following an ocd diagnosis and a severe depression episode, and the one time I was closer to it I decided that I might as well try self medication with drugs. Better escaping reality with drugs than be dead, right?
Of course, it is a dangerous strategy and a recipe for addiction, but as you said, if you have nothing else to loose, it might be an option.
Fast forward 6 months, I don’t have any suicidal thoughts anymore, I got a job that I’m capable of keeping, and I recently started therapy since now I have a job to pay for it. I’m pretty cautious about my drug supplier, I’ve got two very close friends that monitor me to look for (physical) addiction red flags, and I try to be as safe as possible during consumption. Yes, I psychologically need drugs to function, but at least I function, and I’m not dead, and I consider that an achievement.
If anyone reading is contemplating the same solution, please do your own research and ALWAYS test your drugs.
P.s.: as a general rule, I suggest avoiding opioids.
Yes, I've started using illegal, what many consider "heavy" drugs just this year and it is changing the absolute trainwreck of a life I've had.
I only regret putting it off for so long because y'know, drugs are bad mmmkay.
I'll say that managing addiction is pretty hard, I seem to be able to do it even after falling into binges a couple of times (which is really dangerous).
I cannot stress enough that you need to have personal responsibility and really understand it.
But, when your only other option seems to be suicide (which I failed at, too), why not.
Exactly, from personal experience I would say the effect of proper micro dosing is very similar to the benefits that experience meditators report when asked
