You could buy a second hand SFF machine. These are cheap (100€/$) and can run a lot of containers.

I have never had an issue with SD-cards but if I would invest in a m.2 hat I would definitely use it for everything.

It’s faster and more reliable and disk space isn’t that expensive nowadays.

32" with 27" on the side.

Barely using the 2nd monitor.

Tried using double 27" but it didnt work for me (I just focus on one monitor).

I tried a curved ultra wide once. I loved it for work and gaming, but i am so used to having 4k that I experienced it as blurry, and 4k curved monitors are €€€.

Moral of the story: dont get used to 4k, it will spoil you.

LTO3 is a (relatively expensive) supplement that does not require any monitoring or checks. It’s just a supplement. But it has been doing wonders for me: I have been free of brain fog for 3 months now (before it was always foggy).

It’s not as strong as all the amphetamins but maybe it’s useful to know about it :-)

As other people said, getting the mail delivered is the hard part. Check if your mail is received by Google, Microsoft, because apparently they blacklist by default.

You can do everything yourself and then set up a relay for sending, so all mail is sent through someone else who can make sure it is delivered. Then you could get something like purelymail, which is 10$/year to deliver your mail. (I have no relation with purelymail, I am their customer, but it took me quite a while to find a mail relay that is not for sending bulk spam but for real people).

Okay, sure, do fast. Then:

• I’ll add a refactor task to the backlog filed under “tech debt”
• please confirm again that you know we are still behind on security updates and that you’re ok with it because you are responsible for how I spend my hours
• I’d like more time to spend on bugs before we lose customers.
• Also I won’t touch that buggy part without taking the time for a rewrite because we did it “fast” per your request and it’s so hard to maintain now that it becomes a time sink on every minor change
• I know we are under time pressure right now, but as a stakeholder I request we plan a few sprints for improving reliability of our product
• It’s not “fun” to work on our code. We might lose developers if we do not address this. We both know the good coders will have no problem finding a new job and you’ll end up with the bad ones.
• Either that, or plan for loss of personnel and the extra time we need for the hiring process and the loss of developer hours

Change management! :-)

Or, if possible, change employer.

(And I know we’re in meme-land, but I always see it as a developer’s task to inform of the trade-off between fast and good)

Thank you! I’ve looked into PARA, and … Area’s and Resources seem quite close? The difference is that Area’s are driven by duty/responsibility while Resources are driven by interest? How do you divide the two?

I think I already have this division in my work-life. We have tickets that have clear targets (projects), we have a wiki for useful information (long-term).

I will keep it in my head while organizing my private life.

thank you! This sounds very useful, I will try it. And the actual real-life experience of wasting the first 2 tries is very helpful :)

Don’t you need to declare new Balls() first? Or do you suck() Balls static?
