Just my use case: outside of software job, I have two young kids and we have two rentals to manage. So when I'm standing in line at a pharmacy or watching kid at practice, I'd like to continue a session about some xyz thing I need to do.

jambalaya··on Ruby Together
We're hiring for Ruby/Rails. We're also hiring JS. I've used Ruby/Rails my entire career and don't plan on switching. Pay seems good. Definitely more JS jobs of course but I'm happy with what I'm doing and making. I bet you can pick it up in no time.

Had a question and curious if you know. Could an updated_at column work theoretically better than a created_at column if there are some deletes and updates? Would updated_at be ordered as they are on disk?

I love Schwab but agree on the security front. They tried to push everyone to use their voice auth for phone verification. I want more security not less lol. I remember several years ago, they didn't support special characters in passwords. Hopefully that has chanced.

jambalaya··on Attention Is My Most Valuable Asset for Productivity as a Software Developer
You need a coach or a lot of discipline to learn how to safely clean. Deadlifts are still great. The previous comment about football teams takes other things into consideration. Like it's difficult to have great form for so many players and cleans are a power exercise. You'll see a lot of football players do trap-bar deadlifts because it's safer.

Are you a powerlifter? I feel like I've heard powerlifters shy away from deadlifts for what I'm sure are valid reasons. I can't think of why an olympic-style weightlifter would shy away from deadlifts. I think the best advice would be to get a good PT/coach/trainer.

I think these lifts should always been done with qualified personnel. Would also recommend the olympic lifts and swimming.

How about a driving around a generator :p It would be cool though to have wireless power from beneath the road or something.

I'm not a pothead and I'll talk about flavor. In California you can buy stuff that taste like blueberry pancakes. I'm not exaggerating, it's pretty funny.

jambalaya··on Please Criticize my Fitness Site that Stores Workout Programs
Thanks a lot for taking to time to write me feedback. I really appreciate it and it's comments like these that help me out a bunch!!!

What about if you could copy the program on the site and modify it to exactly what's available to you! I see what you mean about casual and serious workout-ers. I think it has to do with goals. Like, the more serious the workout-er, the more specific the goal. "I want to add 50lbs to my squat" is a lot more specific than "I want to stay in shape". If the goals were clearly labeled maybe that could help.

Also, I think it's possible to find fun workout ideas in the database. I'm not sure what, but comboing swimming and doing other stuff in one workout is fun to me and isn't really standard.
