But as the "founding engineer" from this story, I made a lot of product level calls to avoid the layering of "urgent easy features" that would cost x100 in support down the road.
I also heavily protected my team against crunch and was the only one affected on the rare occasions it was required.
Learning how to say no constructively is a core engineering skill in startups.
Just think about all those administrative tasks you've been neglecting which are piling up. And remember, a few even require you to phone a hotline.
You'll get back to deep cleaning in no time.
Also, have assigned/labeled boxes for everything. And a big bag for whatever doesn't belong to any of them. It's way easier to deal with mess if your brain doesn't need a lot to figure out where to put said items.
Here's what I look for with software engineers II hire.
Pragmatism: pick the right solution for the right problem. And your work should create minimal work for others.
Thirst to learn: there is always something new and exciting and there's always a better way to do it. Look for that. It also means being open to feedback.
Collaboration instead of execution: I need my team to challenge me. For that, they need to get as much of the bigger picture as they can. That means always being able to answer "why" you do things. It also means that I expect healthy conflict with my teams. If you go from being taught to teaching me, you immediately get a bump in my list of top teammates.
No excuse: we acknowledge problems and deal with them together. (Requires a good work environment though).
As you can see, nothing I wrote is purely code related. Only thing I ask tech wise is: know your shit, where to find it, who to ask.
Also, my top resource to get people started with what it means to become a software engineer is solidbook.io.
Nope, it's not even the season pass. I was giving such examples regarding the whales who want to look cool, but in reality others often only see the default skin if it's from past season.
The 60$ skin is their pay to play roulette to get a 1% to get said skin with increasing price to get next "prize"
Maps, warframes, weapons and skins will also likely be loaded as needed, so you'll probably start with 20GB but bloat to 60 as you play
Another trick I noticed playing CoD mobile is that they don't load every other player's skin, only the latest. So if your install doesn't have it, it only display's the default skin for other players. Which also mean that the skin you paid 60$ for in the last Season Pass is only visible by a few players.
I started learning programming concepts as a teen by using RPG Maker. It introduced me to concepts such as variables, conditions, loops in a "low code" environment.
Thing is, I had a reachable goal which made it easier for me to learn and feel good as I had a tangible result. Things such as "I want to add a point everytime I touch X item" where very good for this.
IMO, I wouldn't worry too much about the language at first and focus on small reachable goals you want to achieve. But to each his own way of learning.
Like games? You should probably check out GDevelop.
Want to automate some of your online tasks? Maybe n8n.io.
Also, it's better if the tool you use starts with a high level of abstraction (it's very esay to use) and allows you to add in some scripts.
If you want to go further, pick a language and go through the basics. And if you're feeling even more adventurous, head to roadmap.sh to find a learning path towards your goal.
Edit: Also, ChatGPT is really good to teach you IF you always ask it to explain whatever you don't fully understand in the code it writes
My mind just did the same association even though I knew the meaning.
If you remember JRPG has a J for Japan, it's easy for your brain to go with C stands for Chinese, even if that doesn't make sense when you really think about it.
Also, side note, just chill out with the conspiracy theories. And actually give the guy the proper explanation of what the term stands for like the comment next to yours.
Sorry but you are using the wrong cloud storage provider.
I've switched to pCloud on black Friday. It was a one time payment for 2TB lifetime (10TB is also available) cloud storage. I checked and it was ~250€ at the time.
Considering the amount of HDD I've burned through in the early years I've already saved a couple thousand dollars and I haven't lost any file since.
Just make sure to watch their price as they currently have a sale and I don't believe for 1 second that the initial price was in fact 1140€ for 2TB as advertised.
Hits way close to home

Haven't used YAMS
But having read the page, I'd say it's much more pluggable.
There are dozens of community plugins to install other docker based tools with Saltbox.
Also, it's a rewrite of an older project and has been in development for longer than YAMS. I've been using it for around 8 years or so.
Just use Saltbox

It's exactly what you're trying to achieve but battle tested

Elon: want me to keep paying for the children's pension ?
Grimes: Of course
Elon: Then you'd better say I'm the best at video games publicly. Because I am and you have to tell everyone.
Grimes: Oh, for fuck's sake...
I'm on Pcloud, server with rsync+rclone to move files from file system to cloud and use it as a unified file system.
The lifetime storage offer from pcloud has been worth it for me and I even upgraded it from 2 to 12 TB
Choosing to retire his version of the Joker because Kevin Conroy passed away is a very sensible and respectful decision

You just brought back fond memories of mine
I loved sliding that keyboard

O
Cool, so now it's a "work laptop" and I can justify expensing it !!
Only reason why they'd put Word on it IMO

I know and I researched quite a bit before making the jump.
Basically there are couple of things which make me think they won't just shut down:
All in all, I've felt pretty safe using them and I've done the cloud provider switch once so I can do it again
PCloud, once in a lifetime payment. Quite happy with it and works well with RSync
Just buy it on black friday as it's usually their lowest "on sale" price (they are always on sale it seems)
