I see that the last 500+ days have made many employees and employers aware that
many reservations they had about remote work were proven wrong. That will now
lead to many job searchers expecting increased flexibility and remote options.

More companies will offer remote work (like PwC just did for 40,000 employees).
This puts hiring efforts of companies which hold onto colocated working model
under even more pressure to offer higher salaries and invest more into investing
more into less experienced candidates.

Experts simply now have much more opportunities to choose from compared to
pre-pandemic. (Net-)working with local communities through events, jobfairs and
sponsoring has become much more important.

Not really trust inspiring when the "Secure & Tested" tile on the
@iotex_io homepage is not active. Seems that you
still can sell Blockchain just with flashy logos.

Example for a Totschlagargument is: "People are not satisfied with X!" "But you
only get negative comments, most people are happy with it so they don't
complain. Therefore X is fine.". This is impossible to refute because it uses an
unlimited amount of positive feedback for X.

Had the chance to try this beauty of a hand grinder today. The Porlex Tall is so
well made, this is going to be my next one.

While working on a PR preview using
@clever_cloud I failed for a while to get
the AWS CLI to work with cellar. The issue is that the cellar service requires
AWS CLI <2.0.0, while GitHub actions uses the latest version.

The Commandante is definitely a Rolls Royce among the coffee grinders. But a
little bit too heavy and large for traveling.

@rachelnabors Yeah, I talk to quite some
international applicants and also expats in Norway, and it's a hard sell,
especially if they don't come because of the nature that Norway offers. Even
India offers similar high salaries but with a fraction of the living costs.

Just received a link to a form and I could see all the previous submissions.

Just encountered a TypeScript incompatibility from two different dependencies,
which I solved by wiping the yarn.lock and node_modules and recreating it.

I haven't seen this kind of issue with npm ...

Had a fantastic chat with @kriscorbus today
which she closed with the question on what we are not doing in all our efforts
to be #agile: I think it's looking empirically at our processes before changing
them. Too much is just copy&paste "if it works over there it must here".

If you are a white, middle-aged, European, english-speaking dude like me,
remember to mention in your call-for-presentation submission that you are from
an over-indexed group. By omitting this you basically put this burden to
self-declare on those from under-indexed groups. #CfP

For Xeris, #Serverless' main advantage is the reduced cost. However it also
simplified the provisioning of multiple instances of their solution, for
testing, preview and development. Some not so serverless services need special
attention.

Overall experience and learnings • Having a "unlimited" environments is #awsome
• Running completely* serverless has a cost • Increase in complexity caused by
limitations • Easy to get going • Hard to keep the principles as system grows

It's an incredible competitive market for experience professionals and Nordic
Semiconductor is not widely known to be in need for software engineers who work
with web- and cloud-based solutions.

Adding a Junior to a small team is a big, multi-year commitment, but in the
current market I think this is the effort we as an organization have to make in
order to keep up with the ever increasing complexity and challenge of our
projects.

Replying to @coderbyheart

And the feedback from our summer students show that they perceive our team to be
incredible helpful and inspiring. It will be a pleasure to get more people to
share this experience.

Replying to @coderbyheart

You will be working on the foundation for products that bridge the physical with
the digital world and create smart, connected solutions that help tackle
continuously more challenging markets, are more sustainable and help solve our
current environmental issues,

Replying to @coderbyheart

You will be doing this in front of a 100 million USD investment in technology,
that enables never before possible solutions, and our job is to make this
technology accessible to thousands and thousands of smart developers, which
makes this job really exciting, impactful, and fun.

Does Zuck really expect companies to purchase expensive VR equipment in order to
funnel all meetings through his platform? Basically pay to be eavesdropped? 🤷🏻‍♂️
