I don't see robots taking away flatbed trucking work. The most important part of the job is in the securement of irregular loads (and the adjustment of said securement, as needed, during the trip).
I am about to graduate from DBC; also grateful. I have an M.S. in Information Science & Technology (and my first 3 semesters were in Computer Science). Dev Bootcamp taught me more about programming--and more importantly, how to work with other programmers--than grad school did in two years.
Seconded. Understanding the details of each statement before progressing seems to lead to a deeper and more lasting understanding. See you Monday at DBD headquarters!
0) Ensure you're truly in love with your SO, and vice versa. I'm going to assume this evaluates to TRUE for what follows.
1) Have your SO read PG's essay on this topic; you know the one.
2) If their response is receptive and nurturing, then talk about concrete tactics that will support the long, uninterrupted stretches of time you need to thrive [tactics to follow, below].
If they get defensive after reading the essay, then you will know that indulging in maker time when you could otherwise be spending time with them will need to happen A) in a separate, unshared space, and B) during hours and within contexts that the general population of non-makers would consider a socially acceptable time to be practicing your craft--i.e. 9-5, M-F.
If (ideally) your SO inquires as to how they can support your maker's schedule while you're cohabitating, then explain to them how the Pomodoro technique works, and on your breaks between Pomodoro's, give them your complete and undivided attention. This way, you're able to focus without stressing about possible interuptions, and your SO enjoys your full, undivided attention during breaks, with the nice side effect of you being in a great mood during these breaks.
3) Realize that your SO, and all the other relationships you have with friends and family, are at least as meaningful and valuable as anything you could be making. Share the joy and purpose that making brings to your life with the people who love you--and just as importantly--take pride and great pleasure in the things that matter to them, too!
If you hone your design skills enough, and you get to know WordPress development, you could create premium themes and then sell them on Themeforest.net. Some of their top sellers are making $10K+ per month.
iPhone + foldable, full-size bluetooth keyboard. Fits in your pocket, and good enough to comfortably write an entire novel on. Plenty of iOS text apps, too. I like Notesy and SimpleNote.
It's even better now on the new iPhone app. I use it to remember and organize everything that's not a task or appointment. The only thing I wish it supported was Markdown in the editor, and maybe more export formats. Highly recommended.
Simple: almost all listings are from agents / agencies. Their incentive is to rent as many apartments as possible, as often as possible, at as low a risk as possible.
This is why I only rent directly from private owners who have 1-3 units total. Then the negotiation can proceed among equals, and there's a far higher likelihood of getting treated like a human being.
Of course, finding apartments becomes much more difficult under these constraints, but it's been worth it to me.
