100% agree. Never compromise on what is part of your character build. It's not about them, it's all about you, your mental health, and your career trajectory.
Also, doesn't chip manufacturing require a lot of water? Water is not the first thing that comes to mind when I hear Arizona. I think I'm about to learn a lot with this.
I wish the Pro version wasn't subscription based. I'd pay a one time cost even if they dropped the stuff that needs server support (AI, Sync, whatever).
Bur this is not an async problem. It's a TZ problem, right? . OTOH you can avoid being paged in the middle of your sleep id your team has people in far time zones.
For the record, I struggle with timezone differences too. The non-async moments tend to always suck for someone.
I know it doesn't cover all the risks (including other tools and even poisoning) but it was a no-brainer for me to upgrade to a SawStop when I decided I was liking this hobby and was going to stick with it for a while.
Fellow coder and woodworker here. I can relate to the article for sure and I'd add that in my case I make a point of avoiding using software or computer-assisted anything in my woodworking. So no Fusion 360, no SketchUp, no CNC, no laser cutters, no 3D printers.
It sounds radical but it feels important to my mental health to keep my woodworking physical an analog as possible. Now, I'm still a power tool junkie so I'm not about to give up my table saw or planer.
So many hobbies are expensive. I know I'm not competing with mass-produced pieces. It's like never dining in a nice restaurant because there are so many fast-food chains out there.
I think the point is more about people who worked with Gates not having that many bad things to say about him. I used to follow MSFT news very closely during the Gates era and invariably you'd hear stories how people at the company genuinely liked him.
I have gladly forgotten the details by now but last time I developed on Windows GCM was the thing that gave me the most headaches. Our Git was on Azure DevOps (whatever that's called now) not github. Due to reasons we could not use SSH instead.
Even if they have to show medical records this can be arranged to go through a 3rd party organization that validates the request without sharing details with the company. This type of stuff already exists for medical claims.
> is it just that people don't know where to find the links?
Speaking for my wife, she mostly browse and share stuff on her phone. It's much quicker and consistent to take a screenshot and share it than trying to discover/remember in each app what is the best way to produce a link to paste somewhere else (how many clicks to get a share link in the amazon app? how about the YT app? FB app, can you even do it?)
