“Calories in” is half. “Calories out” (the amount you burn) is the other half.
Having been on the “nothing but diet” train for long windows of my life I can confidently say that if you don’t pair the former and latter, you’ll end up in the yo-yo cycle. Over and over again. Took a long time for me to understand that and I STILL struggle.
Haha, nah man. That ain’t it.
Sorry for the tone of my reply but - no. People use toast because it’s convenient and no humans are involved.
I’ve had too many shitty managers in my career to think I’d put other people through similar experiences. So, my switch into management was motivated by, hopefully, making the experiences on my team positive ones
If you make it to my comment, please - do not go into management for the money. If you want to build, then remain an IC. If you want to grow other engineers, further THEIR career, make THEM better - go into management.
The friends of mine who ended up in management for the money and complain about their reports make me so angry.
Why? Because I'm about to drop ~$40 on pens as a result of the post, and discussion here.
Echoing other people's sentiments here - love the site, love the density, love the niche'ness, love the information.
Glad to help
Heads up, that page has no `<title>` tag so the browser tab is `githubnext.com/`. That is a _VERY_ minor nit, but still an SEO ding (you're github, that doesn't matter much), and a rough edge that could be buffed out.
Bonus points for adding a favicon too. :)

~with~. "Advertising to developers feels like asking for trouble."
Looking forward to reading the rest of this :)
The friends and colleagues in my cohort, the ones NOW with larger financial and familial responsibilities, curse their former selves for not knowing how good they had it.
I guess all that is to say, as cliche as it is, "be careful what you wish for".
Doing the work is hard. Putting yourself out there in a vulnerable state and hoping for the best is almost AS difficult.
So, the best of luck to the OP. Adapt and grow.
I just jumped head first into a bunch of self-hosted projects so this might fit in just great.
In terms of features, the breadth of their product is larger, more complex, more opinionated. Thredded, on the other hand, hopes to get out of the way if and when you want it to (just look at what @druseph did with notebook.ai/forum).
They did a great job, though. They built a sustainable business on the foundation of "internet messageboards" and for that I applaud them. That was always my goal and I never got there, sadly. That was my dream.
In all fairness, it's been years since I've looked at Discourse so my assumptions may be out of date at this point. Take all this with a grain of salt.
In any case, I wrote the original code for Thredded and it's since had the stewardship taken on by two very smart and capable gentlemen named Gleb and Tim.
In recognition of the 1.0 release I wrote up a short blog post with a little history and background on the project (spoiler: the first version was born 21 years ago!), and congratulating the 2 guys for their work the last 5+ years. They've done an incredible job, and I only wish we'd all met 5 years before.

Did you mean ... "Don't LOSE your asset"?
(sorry)
All languages have their own beauty but there's something special about Brazilian Portuguese - the flow, the "sing-song'y" nature of it, it's almost like a dance. Admittedly I am biased, but I've heard similar from people without the background.
