You don't just take a punt on a childcare provider like you might with temporary accommodation on AirBnB.

From personal experience and those of other parents I know, it's a heavily researched, quite intensive process involving multiple visits to different providers.

An AirBnB for long-term childcare seems like a non-starter, perhaps beyond initial discovery and shallow research.

Also, there are so many societal benefits to affordable child care for all. For example, more primary care givers returning to work, earning and therefore paying taxes etc.

Congratulations!

If you're able to, take your partner away _before_ the baby arrives. They deserve it for growing a human and you both deserve some quality time together before everything changes :)

Other than that, it's amazing (and challenging). Be patient and kind to each other (and it goes without saying, to your baby).

Maybe it’s just what you know but every time I’ve used Garmin Connect it’s felt like a dumpster fire compared to Strava.

Even for route planning (years ago) which I would not say Strava is fantastic at, it still seemed worse.

YMMV

Lovely. My 2yo child really enjoys correctly identifying the Bar-tailed godwit (along with all the other birds) in this wonderfully illustrated book: https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/what-its-like-to-be-a-bird-978...

So, this title made me smile and think of him :)

This is potentially quite interesting to me we are having conversations on/off at work about data reporting, visualising etc., which is leading me to pay attention to related topics.

However, it's lacking in any context explaining what you're trying to achieve and why.

It's probably obvious to some people but for me, it's not, which I think is a shame.

As someone new to people management, actually, prior to people management but with an interest in the topic, I found it very interesting and useful.

I was not even sure what "IC" meant or what an "engineering manager" might do.

Personally, I found there was lots of actionable advice and a clear "path" for how one might operate in different roles in an organisation.

Almost any non-fiction book could be described as a series of blog posts or articles, so I don't really understand that criticism.

YMMV but I would recommend it.

> Because you often need REALLY skilled developers (top 1%) to make the early tech for what you need to build when you're doing a successful startup.

Rubbish. You need an idea and to start validating it, learning and iterating, with feedback from your customers.

That network effect can't be underestimated.

In the olden days of a new social network every other week the percentage of my friends and family on each social network (including Myspace, the most dominant) was relatively low, so the pain of switching was low.

Now the percentage on Facebook is extremely high and I don't even know what an alternative would be.

Lots of friends and family are on Whatsapp, quite a lot of people use Instagram but beyond that... there's very little uptake in any other heavily used social network. And of course, they're both owned by Facebook anyway.

So, for me at least, to say Facebook is on the way out, is something I cannot agree with.

Presumedly this is only of interest for those running Kubernetes?

It has to be the driver (or computers') responsibility to spot and react in situations like this as it is the dangerous machinery that can cause injury and death.

I tried searching for "cyclocross", a slightly obscure cycling niche, perfect for a search engine like this, you might think? Unfortunately, no one has curated any content around that topic :(

Yes. My door to door commute by bike takes about 30 minutes but by public transport takes about 60 minutes. In fact, being able to commute by bike is the reason I moved out to a nicer, larger place than I would have considered if constrained to public transport only.

For reference, this is South West London to West London (6 miles).

In my opinion you should show all the content by default with filter options. I don't want to search for anything specifically, so there's not much I can do with the site.

They hijacked the back-button to redirect to a dating site :/

There's always an opportunity cost to any work and developers often (always?) underestimate the time taken to do work.

$7 a month is practically free and allows you to offload the task from your expensive developers to someone better suited.

The presentation video on the homepage is amazingly engaging. It's well worth a worth watch.

My day job is a backend developer for a job startup.

For the past few years I've been on and off working on a side project to create meetup for cyclists: http://cowbellhq.com.

A few years is too long but I find it very hard to focus dedicated time to the project outside of work, friends and hobbies.

Has anyone used scalingo? How has the experience been? The pricing is favourable but I've never heard of them.

There are a variety of ways to look for jobs. Online, there are niche and broad job boards, such as Stackoverflow or Monster (I'm not sure if Monster is as big outside of the UK, but here it's one of the big players).

There are broad job aggregators/search engines, which centralise content from various sources, such as Indeed or Adzuna (disclaimer, I work at Adzuna).

There are other niche communities, like the who's hiring thread here.

You have some of the newer services, like hired.com and workshape.io, which attempt to make the process easier but usually for a specific niche.

You can add your profile to CV databases such as LinkedIn, where recruiters search for particular skills and then send out messages to potential candidates.

Then there are things in the real world, like recruitment consultants who will help to find you a job, job markets and fairs, postings and listings in various publications, networking events and meetups.

Any of the above could work for you and there are probably a whole bunch of other avenues I've forgotten.

What I would actually suggest (particularly for tech roles) is that you look at the companies or the top companies in the industry you would like to work in and start researching to see which are appropriate and if they are hiring, how that process works and if you have any contacts who can help. Make a shortlist of companies/roles and start contacting them.
