Doesn’t take more than 5 minutes to summarize at the end of the day.
I take notes in-line as I go too. But having to stop and then write (well, type in a text editor) everything I was thinking about for the last X hours, when I'm super fatigued, can be problematic for me to do. At the point I quit, I'm not really thinking anymore, even just to summarize the day.
Generally speaking (NOT 100% of the time), that takes more time that you don't have, as you're outrunning fatigue. You can waste time writing down notes (which you're supposed to do anyway in-line in the code as you go streamlined like), or you can solve the problem. Plus the quality of the notes you leave, if written up at the end when you're ready to leave work, may not be good enough to help the next day. /shrug
But honestly, if that works for you, more power to ya! 🙂
I’ve had plenty of breakthroughs at 9PM, but most of those could have been gotten at 11AM the next day without neglecting my family.
You're a better coder than I am/was then. Everytime, without fail, if I took that break at 9pm, left work, and came back the next day, I never solved that problem.
You come into the office the next day and you have more/new problems to solve on top of the one you were trying to solve the night before, and you have to try to get back 'into the zone' of the problem solving for that one single problem (especially when you've had to do a bunch of configurations to your IDE for the last-night problem being worked on), very problematic to do when the office is busy.
Speaking of, forgot to mention that point, but working late usually gives you a quieter office environment to work in. Its always why I would try to start work at 10am (or later) on any project I was one, give me an hour or three of "quiet' at the end of the day to wrap up work uninterrupted.
Edit: Forgot to mention in my reply, but ...
without neglecting my family
I made sure to never do that. Balancing Life/Work is always tough, but staying employeed with a great income sometimes takes better care of your family than being home late for dinner one evening.
The United States, Russia, Belarus and North Korea all voted against the EU-Ukrainian resolution underlining an extraordinary shift in US policy since the US president’s election that has largely absolved the Russian president of responsibility for the invasion.
If years ago someone told me that one day the U.S. would vote with Russia and North Korea about invading another country, I'd think they were full of it for telling me that.
Also, feel bad for Belarus, being controlled by Russia like that. 🙁
After 5PM stop looking for a fix, start looking for a stopping point and write up some notes to review when you’re fresh again.
Hot Take Incomming...
No. My best successes were when I stayed on point and pushed through the fatigue and solved the problem. Taking a 'go to bed and come back to the office fresh' type of break would inevitably set me back, as I would have to pick up my train of thought again, to get back "into the zone" of the problem and solving it. Its another form of an interruption while you are trying to concentrate, and can interrupt an 'Eureka!' moment in problem solving.
It truly sucks having to work the extra hours, and if the project management is so bad that you're doing it all the time, then you need to find other work, but sometimes, 'sticking it out' is the solution to the problem, finishing what you started.
Having said that, if I've pushed through the fatigue multiple times in multiple hours, so that its super hard to push again, THEN that would be the point where I walk away from the problem for the evening. Its not an either/or thing, but its definately stick around and try to solve longer than the advice I'm replying to would suggest.
One last thing. The above advice was given by someone who spent most of their career self-employeed and working an hourly rate. You're expected to solve the problems others can't because you're getting paid more, and your time is compensated accordingly to the amount of work you are putting in. If you are a salaried employee, especially one who is low paid, I would then advise you to consider other things than strict professionalism, like QoL issues vs compensation gained, etc.
No idea. does it look weird in the other browsers?
I only have Firefox installed, and not going to bother diagnosing the problem by installing others, as I don't have the same problem with other web sites using Firefox/Android.
At least, I wouldn't want to bother diagnosing the problem until they paid me my hourly rate. 😜
Sadly, 99% of people - wherever they live - won’t really do or say anything until it affects them personally.
Especially if it might hurt their income.
Well, good governance is making sure the 'basics' are taken cared of for everybody (voters want to be safe/happy, and want those who they love/care about to also be safe/happy), and then expanding out from there with policy to "move the ball down the field" of progress. But thats not how we govern currently.
The issue is that some people see 'everybody' as just their own little tribe vs everybody else, and others see it as literally everybody else besides themselves.
Then the discussions/debates get down into the mud of how much we owe it to each other to take care of each other, vs just taking care of ourselves, etc.
We, as a species, need to figure out if its "All for One, and One for All" (aka "We the People"), or, "Every Man for Themselves". Personally, I think we have the potential to be each other's 'superpower' ability, but we are a young race, and have much maturing to do still.
To be fair, you’re commenting all over this thread.
Well I only license label my content when it's actually content from me, and not me simply replying to a question with an answer. At least that's my general rule that I try to use.
But honestly, I tend to think you're more backtracking than being honest about your reasons why you made your initial comment to me, considering you made it at the same time I'm having a heated discussion with others about my use of a license on another post. If I'm wrong in that, you have my apologies.
But it did seem a little creepy for you to make that comment, considering it has nothing to do with the subject being discussed. I mean, you could always just let it go, and not comment on it in the first place. /shrug
Hang in there brother/sister, times will be better again.
Yes it'll be a long 3 years 11 months, but still, even the laziest people usually figure their shit out at some point and change their course appropriately, and vote differently.
Any thoughts then and what could affect one Android app but not all the other installations of the same Android app?
As a software developer, I can't think of very many, assuming we're both correct about having the exact same extensions installed and using the same version of the browser.
I think based on some of the crazy stuff that has come out (that leak just as Hawthorne blowing up Republicans with his dumbfuckery), that there is a level you can’t reach in the party unless they either have something on you to keep you under control, or you give them something to ensure loyalty.
Going down that rabbit hole for a second, if true, then how in the F does the FBI/CIA/Military handle that scenario, when the political branch of the goverment has been compromised?
