yes

its not daily. its one day every two weeks.

> Wait, you're actually putting that forward as a good day?

sure. Its better this way. otherwise i would have those meetings scattered across a complete week. and tbh, days like this come every two weeks. its not every day. most days its 15min daily standup in the morning and sometimes a refinement of 30m.

>...when do you actually code??

i come in at around 7-7:30, code until ~10, go home after the last meeting.

I call your BS call :)

There is nothing better than a day with nicely spaced meetings

My current Project on every second wednesday:

10:00-10:30 Daily Standup

11:00-12:00 Architect Jour Fix

12:00-12:30 Lunchbreak

13:00-14:00 Sprint Retro

15:00-16:00 Sprint Planning

Most of the gaps have a reason (conflicting meetings, etc) We use those gaps to "transfer knowledge". That basically means we sit in the cafeteria chatting about work or non-work relatet stuff, planning our weekends, etc.

i'm working in the enterprise integration field for a few years now. most vendors seem to have no idea how to get their integration product in the cloud. most of the time its just their old product as a docker container.

graphical drag and drop languages are everywhere. mulesoft has their anypoint studio, software ag has their flow language. at least for software ag i know you can barely refactor this graphical stuff unless you edit the source xml files by hand (bad practice, i know).

even as an expert those products are hell to develop. i have never felt so unproductive. big, clunky, barely usable ...

most of our customers moving away from big platforms like that. some move to java+api spec+api gateway, some go a step further and put their apps on k8s.

you can import github projects including issues and stuff into gitlab

I think OP refers to unjust divorce laws. With over 50% marriages ending in divorce, headlines like [0] make marriage sound like a really bad deal.

Just take a look at portugal: https://time.com/longform/portugal-drug-use-decriminalizatio...

i made my first 10€ at the local fair. they offered food on a plate and wanted a 1€ deposit for the plate. people are lazy and dont want to wait in line to get their deposit back. thats where we got in. we just took their plates, offered them their deposits and most of them just said "keep the money". the view of a bunch of 8 year olds with 10 plates each at the deposit station must have been glorious :D

and the enterprise doesn't care as long as they don't offer them a support contract.

Because John Doe the Maintainer is not offering Support for his third-party library. SpringSource/Pivotal was/is offering that for Spring. Redhat is offering Support for hibernate.

Enterprise does not care if there is A solution.

Enterprise cares if there is a SUPPORTED solution.

Let me just plug https://mockoon.com/

a balanced diet with energy input/ouput balance should be the default. avoid sugar and preprocessed food, drink enough water, exercise and you should be good to go. lost 30kg that way.

I'm quite happy with https://dbeaver.io/

Maybe give it a try?

develop a small project

sooner or later there will be a bottleneck of some kind.

analyze and fix that bottleneck and make a mental note of the cause. next small project you design remember the cause of that bottleneck and design appropriately.

thats how i worked my way up from projects that fit on a single machine to designing a multi k8s cluster system for a fortune 500. just remember how you fucked up in the past and dont make the same mistakes

what you have to consider is, that docker does not emulate hardware and does not run a complete OS inside. that said you can definitly do something in that direction with virtualbox:

create an .ova file as a template for your sandbox.

to "spin up" your sandbox you have to import that image, add a shared folder and start it headless:

  vboxmanage import yourtemplate.ova --vsys 0 --vmname yourvmname
  vboxmanage sharefolder add "yourvmname" - name "SF name" -hostpath "x:\path" 
  vboxmanage startvm yourvmname --type headless

or something like that. You can find most of that stuff in Chapter 8 of the VirtualBox docs: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch08.html

i guess he is talking about the premium domains:

> During both the Early Access Program and General Availability, there is a $12/year cost for .dev domains. Annual fees may vary for Premium domains.

you could take a look at hashicorp vault as a tool to deliver secrets to your server side apps

for sharing secrets with your team i would go with password manager. bitwarden.com if you are looking for a open source one.

there is overlap

2 is more of a "oh shit the washing machine/car/stove broke" fund. stuff that costs more than i'm willing to cut from my income on a moments notice.

3 is leverage and runway.

employer fucked up your salary payment? frustrating but you'll live.

negotiating a raise? no need to bluff, bring in your written notice and sign it in front of them. important: ask them for a pen. the look on their faces is priceless and 3 month should be enough to get a new job.

Want to go the extra mile? get a second bank account with another bank and split the money. remove the bank as a single point of failure.

well you're right. fixed that in my post.

Do you have debt? Yes? Pay it off!

Do you have an emergency fund? No? make that your investment!

Do you have 3-6 times your monthly expenses set aside? No? make that your investment!

Still money left? invest in MSCI World oder S&P 500 ETFs and let it sit for a decade or two ... that should net you your 10x growth

Edit: removed the MSCI EM ETF recommendation ... S&P 500 performs better.

if its just for your personal finance i would rather use firefly because it does not use third party services and is open source.

I'm missing some open source software

Bitwarden or KeePass for password management

FreeOTP for 2FA

cut off headphone jack plugged in in your laptops mic port complementary to the webcam covering

the problem ist the gap between your definition of "better" and your customers definition of "better".

with the complete control plane managed by DO it gets more appealing for projects with smaller scale.

personally, for single servers i still use just plain docker or docker-compose.

24 days if you work 6 days/week + holidays

20 days if you work 5 days/week + holidays

16 days if you work 4 days/week + holidays

+ pension + healthcare + mandatory 20 vacation days + max. 48h workweeks + mandatory 30 days notice period + better social security net

and i dont need a gofundme page in case someone in my family gets cancer ...

Let me just mention https://www.rainmeter.net/ for desktop customization.

while i'm just using some of the system metric widges, some people go all in and reskin their complete desktop. unfortunatly windows only.

Consider this: approximately 32% of Deutsche Telekom is owned by the german state[0]. Its in their interest, that the money goes to the "right" company.

[0]: https://www.telekom.com/en/investor-relations/company/shareh...

"Investments in IT" by the german government means we somehow funnel money to the big companies to make sure they dont fire people. Deutsche Telekom daughter T-Systems decided in september to cut 6000 jobs in germany (10k worldwide) to save 600mio €/year. Now the Government spents 3B on "AI". Coincidence?
