Exactly what I do regarding the structured approach. A 4TB hard drive is $100 on Amazon and fits a lot.

My first thought reading the headline.

I find Meetup.com to be helpful for this.

I try to spend as much time outdoors as possible, work on any personal projects, and hang out with friends.

I usually immediately close the window as it removes any desire to see the content. The only exception is if it's for a website that I want to sign up for.

I don’t understand many posts but when I do see something that piques my interest, I’ll check it out and maybe look some stuff up to learn more. You’re definitely not alone.

iTerm2, Brave Browser for privacy and no ads, Sublime Text.

I’m one of the few folks who use and enjoy a MacBook butterfly keyboard. The clickiness and thinness is very satisfying.

You can make the screenshot square bigger than you need it to be, then click on the screenshot when it appears in the bottom right. Click the edit button at the top, then click the crop icon. Hold shift and drag the corner.

Is this to compete with something like Jira or Trello? I can’t imagine a scenario where you would use both tools, unless the list is for personal tasks. For that, I just use reminders.

Contribute as much to your retirement plan as possible.

I think websites are much more elegant for a modern CV. It’s being looked at on a computer anyway, so might as well take advantage of the benefits of a website.

The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle is a life changer. It’s more spiritual than scientific but I highly recommend it.

I talk to my manager everyday anyway, so a dedicated meeting to “catch up” isn’t really necessary. If there was a goal and we need to set up a check in meeting for that specific goal, that would make sense.

I’ve used Flask with Python to deploy a front end for my code. It was pretty straightforward and you can find boilerplate to start.

I use Brave Browser on iOS and enable Night Mode.

I don’t know about books, but this playlist was a good primer:

I use it purely as a “networking for jobs” tool. If I’m not actively looking for jobs, I might scroll through my feed a few times per week, but it’s mostly a time killer in that regard.

I use the Notes app on Mac OS but I’ve heard good things about Joplin.

I believe “login” is the process of actually logging in, or the set of credentials used to log in. “Logon” refers to the act of connecting to something. They’re often used interchangeably, though.

Agreed. This is the playlist I recommend for beginners:

Usually just Google and YouTube. I’ll use free resources and if I want to sharpen a particular skill further than free resources are available for, I’ll find a decent premium course.

I don’t require any additional level of support now, so no.

I recently started using RSS feeds and the reader in Brave Browser is really neat.

In a non-technical role, the definition of something being “done correctly” ends when the output/result matches the requirements. Whether that be a user experience, reporting, or whatever the requirements are. As long as those are clearly defined, and you can test the application against those definitions, the trust lies in the development team that it was programmed properly.

Any kind of testing should be defined at a high level. What is being tested and what is the expected result? What should trigger an alert?

It might become more widely used when it’s integrated into commonly used software. For example, if Siri has an option for it, or it becomes the default option for Google. I don’t think regular users seek it out, though.

I would say the goal is up to you. If you have a set list of things you want to accomplish in a week, you’d optimize to ensure those tasks are done, and any leftover time can be spent on leisure. That’s just one model.

I really miss AIM and MSN Messenger. Also Xfire for integration with games.

Exactly - knowledge without practical application isn’t very inspiring. When I started learning data science, it gave a whole new life to linear algebra and made it almost magical.

The way I see it, AI software are tools that software engineers can use to make their workflow more efficient.
