    • Is an expensive mattress worth the money?

    Jump

  • Price aside, just don't do what I did: use an old mattress way past its usable life (e.g. like 10 years... it was creaking).

    I started having back pain. And once I got a new one, I immediately felt better.

    I'm very happy with my purchase and it wasn't even that expensive. It's one of those internet "mattress in a box" ones. I paid ~$300 back in 2019, though it looks like it goes for $420 now. Brand is Lucid on Amazon. It's a hybrid style: it has both pocketed / encased coils like a traditional mattress, and layers of memory foam and latex on top.

  • Right. At-will essentially means both you the employee, and the employer, can, at any time for any reason or no reason, end the employment

    It's sort of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you the employee are not obligated to submit a notice period or do anything special to quit, which is great. On the other hand, employers can and often will drop people with zero warning.

    • The only thing doing tech tests has taught me is that I'm too stupid to do the job I've been doing professionally for the better part of 2 decades.

  • Yep. LeetCode medium difficulty puzzles is the de facto / unofficial standard, and even if you're a pretty good programmer, those are tough to do in a timed 45 minute thing with some stranger watching every character you type :-(

  • A Siri that doesn't feel like it's ~13.5 years old would be nice, especially with the advancements in LLMs. I use Siri daily (timers, alarms, weather check while in bed, etc.) but it feels SO ancient. Can't even ask it follow-up questions.
