@Wack indeed! It's that false sense of security that comes with the bigger business..... Most of my time is spent cutting through red tape internally so the bigger this beast is its slowing us down massively.....

I don't feel loyal to the business but leaving does make me feel like im walking away from my close team as its an awesome team I've built....

Friends business model is the one we pitched here over 2 years ago and they did nothing with and now its thriving her doing it herself and she wants her partner in crime back to help it grow now!

@Fast-Nop indeed... She's a good friend, I've worked with her in a few different companies... Our skillets really compliment and she's really serious about it being a joint approach.

The financials looks good... She's just been able to put a deposit down on a new house just from the first few months profits and is turning down work so there is already growth in there to fully exploit from day one

Both of us have worked in large enterprises and the lack of agility is something that always bugged us n as d the corporate Red tape issues.... I spend more than half my time chasing internal problems now rather than just making the company money - something she isn't having to deal with now!

I know I know I jest! Some amazing innovations on the silicon level that Qualcomm just can't keep up with... Their new chip for android watches is awful in comparison.....

Just pains me that the events are a big deal still when it's clearly become iterative rather than innovative.....

Haha I'm only half way there!

Negotiating salary is about 20% your actual worth and 80% how much your perceived value is to the business... The issue is that 80% tends to be circumstantial based on opinions formed by higher ups... How you are spoken about in the company and a fair chunk of how much you sell your skills.....

I have a rule I follow around my salary ( always a multiplier of my age which I increase the multiplier each major birthday) and I know my worth : therefore I've been very fortunate and best equip to make great negotiations

I've seen awesome people paid terribly and terrible people paid way over the odds... And everytime is due to people's perception of the individual or the role they do being critical or not... 100%

Just know your value and work on ensuring you have the skills to ensure those around you know your value too and it will go in your favour everytime....

Oh and Hay... Nothing wrong going for the 'easier' job if the company think its more valuable is salary is the main aim?! I just make sure what I do 40 hrs a week is also a main hobby too 👌

Awesome! Gonna see what cpu n mem my pi hole setup uses to see if I can dual host that or buy another one just for this project! 👍

@Intronout it's a apple track pad with vinyl patch over the top so it matches the desk

Picture from first thing this morning in better light 😁

@ODXT thanks man.... I think growing older has finally made me appreciate and attempt DIY properly as I've previously been useless at it! Something so satisfying about creating or working on something physical rather than software sometimes!

Oh and out of shot are the two wall mounted guitars and 4 other guitars on my wingback 👍

@stuxnet I found it in an old vintage shop me and the wife love to visit... It was practically black with dirt and it was from a local school that was being demolished... Brought it home and sanded it back to get the original grain on show.... It was a teachers desk from the primary school and still had bits of graffiti carved in from years and years of being used!

Would this mean Musk is 420 friendly at work then? 😉🤔

Wow wow wow

PS... Just sharing this feels like it's taken a load off even more so!

When it all feels too much just drop it all and remember the silly things that make you happy... Sometimes you have to hit the hard reset and things will click back into place!

Pi hole to route all crappy ads on your home network elsewhere.... And you can put all your home dns through an ssh tunnel to cloudflares new service too...

I wanna hear more!

@ArtNo the weekend rolls into one day due to an all nighter...

It was something going around at RSA conf by the company in the middle of the board.... Atm it's just a poster idea (you can download a high resolution copy on their site) but I'd love to see it turned into the real deal!

@hubiruchi exactly... First day of school when she's 4 😀

@HelloUglyWorld they gotta start somewhere and that somewhere is we are writing minecraft mods 👌

Aaaand I just spotted my typo @linux 🤣👌

@linux I suppose I could watch V around 100 times too 😀

Disabled my account... Removed app from my phone and only kept Facebook messenger for now as I tell my contacts to switch to using telegram to speak to me..... Already been a week and where I could waste an evening watching stupid videos (I stopped posting ages ago)

I've now been reading more tech articles.... Following medium blogs and doing dev stuff on my phone instead....

Productivity outside of work has dramatically increased!

Team and myself need SANS Gmon for a specific type of work we so... $5k a pop easily...

@GodHatesMe well funny enough the role is a data analytics role so yep he's being very analytical about the documentation but doesn't seem to get the job

For context... The other people we've brought on have been out doing delivery and client stuff within 3 to 4 months with half of the 'academic' experience but he just to not grasp it... Might need a good kick in the deep end to FINALLY get it....

@Charmgoggles Ofc I bought all of these as my. Christmas present... Supporting Matt Inmans awesome art!

Now this is something I've wanted for a while! MacDown is OK but wanted a UI to search and manage too! Awesome!
