I run a development department, and nobody who reports to me comes to the office. We have been 100% remote since 2020… much to the chagrin of HR. Others in IT come in, but no developers. I see no reason to change it either. I question why I even come in most days.
Without looking it up, I don’t know how many people I’ve interviewed over the last 4 years, but there’s been a few. I’ve only had one person who indicated he wanted to be in an office. Every other person wants fully remote. The most common comment I’ve heard from people is saying they will settle for hybrid if full-remote isn’t available.
There’s some value to having people work together in-person, but I’d rather give my teams the flexibility to choose for themselves rather than force it.
Over a lifetime, 7% to 8% is a good return. If you are safely building a portfolio, and looking at year over year, then anything between 8% and 12% is pretty good. If you are closer to retirement or just more risk averse, then around 5% to 7%. Really, anything above inflation means you are making money.
Everyone is going to have different definitions of “good.” It all depends on your goals, risk aversion, and stage of life. Your best bet is to find a financial advisor who can tailor a plan to your needs.
Watching someone dig a hole. Or standing by the side of a hole that was just dug and commenting about the hole. Or watching construction work in a previously dug hole.
We seem to just like holes. We are simple creatures.
I’m pretty sure NPM is Node Package Manager.
XNA, Microsoft’s C# based game dev framework, stood for XNA is Not Acronymed.
A quarter has 13 weeks, so if you do 2 week sprints and align them to start with a quarter, there is 1 week per quarter that is not accounted for. That week can be used for stuff outside of daily activities. It can be used for training, offsites, working on a pet project, etc. Its a good way to build time in the schedule for this type of thing. These types of breaks have tremendous long term value.
I have, conservatively, two dozen playthroughs under my belt at this point, including the original trilogy and remastered versions. If I had to guess, I’d say im about an 85/15 split FemShep over MaleShep. Apparently I’m in the minority, but I much prefer Hale’s performance.
I’m curious as to the paragon vs renegade percentages for each character type. As in, do more people play FemShep as paragon or renegade? Same for MaleShep.
