I just got one installed last month in middle of winter at my home in New England.
The air from heat pump feels more comfortable than the dry air from the furnace.
I got installed with a the furnace back-up option, that way if the heat-pump can't generate the heat, it switches to propane (it becomes very cold here in New England in Winters). From my experience, the heat pump is working well in 30F and above weather (-1.C)
Heat pumps burn a lot of electricity, luckily I have solar to off-set that cost, although Solar generation is low in Winter, it adds up well over the year.
on some what related:
Immigrant parents (first gen) mostly 'think'/their internal monologue in their own mother tongue/language. The kids mostly born in the US like the rest of the "English" native speakers have their internal thinking/monologue (brain speak if you will) is in English.
This adds to an interesting conversation, sharing nuances, inside jokes etc.
1) Tail end of the year - its hard to get full time roles , The hiring definitely picks up after Jan 2nd week or so.
2) Try consulting/contracting - That space is still brimming w hiring. Much faster on-boarding /hiring.
I do see the value in this. Especially for folks trying to add some cool react widgets without doing the full dev - specially for some old code-base. Respect!
Every morning after shower and just before the work starts or I go to work. I sit before the small temple (bookcase) in my home. Light a lamp and an incense; and a short prayer - sit in a mindfulness state - asking for blessings for all.
This is cool . I remember using “Understand for C++” that does something like this , a full source code graph visualization- function flow etc. This of course starts as a folder visualization , but I see the value- seeing the big picture
