DELETE CASCADE posted:my productivity is great because instead of meetings i can actually write code, but business level productivity is not good because sales is having trouble even scheduling demos much less getting a contract approved during all this My productivity would be better, but the rate of inbound work is slowing along with the economy. The execs will see this and call me lazy I'm sure.

my company just hands you N holidays and says "take whichever ones you want off" which is nice imo. Don't wanna do Columbus Day? Don't. Wanna take off for Arbor Day? go nuts.

i have spent the entire day today trying to train a pile of people nearly twice my age how to use Zoom. we got through "downloading the desktop app" and "scheduling a meeting" and "sending the link to participants" but bogged down in such advanced features as raising your hand, mass muting/unmuting and creating breakout rooms. i tried several times to teach them the real power-user "hold spacebar to temporarily unmute, like a radio PTT button" feature but woooooooosh

I'm going to be completely honest with my feelings here anybody that still voluntarily goes on a cruise in this hellworld, with this corona, and this global climate shift, and this unemployment, and this exploitation of brown people, deserves whatever they get on said cruise. And they should not be able to spread their idiot illness on others. thus i propose a government subsidy to bring all cruises down to $99 and mandatory 1 year quarantines on said megaboat.
