Recently encountered an analogy for this that puts it in perspective. ”nine women can't make a baby in one month"

I've only done one component in BEM but I really liked the end result.

And I totally forgot what I was all fired up about by this morning. Fuuuuu

Me too!

Not sure about the Caps but otherwise isn't it BEM?

@paulwillyjean I think that's great to track time to projects/tasks/clients but it's the other time that doesn't fit into one of those areas that frustrates me. Especially since my company hasn't had and SLA until literally today.

@gitpush Yeah, and right now my company is in "reactive" mode so I either have to wait for tickets or beg for tasks - we aren't in any kind of stable cycle so the waiting time gets tracked as admin or whatever and then the company makes comments like "seeing too much admin time". Fuuuu

@devios1 That sounds like the bullshit we are having to deal with now. I feel compelled to make my days add up to 8 hours and my weeks 40 or else I will have a magnifying glass on how I spend my time. It makes me feel like if I am not fucking producing every minute of every day I will become a liability or expendable to the company. It's de-humanizing.

@letmecode that kind of model works well when you are protecting your own time and value. In my case I have to justify my time/value if I spend too much in one area and also not over bill the company and it is really stressful. Yes, I know the company is trying to protect /their/ time and value but going down to the 15 minute increment and not affording a level of trust to the professionals they hire to complete their work based on deadlines and goals instead of time spent is demeaning.

@error503 I recently used a pre built theme in an effort to expedite development. BIG MISTAKE. So much bloat and questionable crap in a pro theme. Ew.

Really depends on your life goals. Do some of the benefits make up for lower pay? Do you want to have financial Independence and/ot retire early? What about family - do you need to support one? Do you have an inexpensive hobby you wouldn't want to sacrifice for a more tiresome but better paying job? I'd rather work at a lower paying place where I like the company, people, boss, and work than trade those for more money.

@gitpush We use git hub and they have a do project/task/ticket management through the system but I guess because it has a time tracking functionality they feel the MUST use it. puke.

I think I need a duck for my desk at my new job. So close...

Well I just accepted the offer with a little more salary than I anticipated being able to get, a slight title change, and possibility to revisit some items in 6mo. Works for me!

Well it turns out I accepted another job as of an hour ago but I think they will be tracking along the same lines :/ I kind of get a fuck it attitude though and don't stress about accuracy.

@randomcomma Thanks - That is what I'll do I just need to stop stalling!

@devios1 I really do feel it's demeaning just a waste of brain power.

@firefish it's easy to get or guess many student emails so I wouldn't be surprised if it was phishing and a whole bunch of students are getting caught. The only way to know would be to go to the site directly and either find corroborating messaging or contact someone who would know.

Are you sure it's legit and not phishing? Knowing higher Ed it could go either way

I am literally heading to an interview with my former boss and current boss where if/when I get the job (that I've held for the last seven years) my former boss will become my boss again and my current boss will become former boss.😂 Also there is one other person there who had never been my boss but I wish she were and she actually delegates all my projects and has for the last five years. #HigherEdDev

As a front end developer who's dipped toes into backed I really feel you. I used to like csstricks.com, alistapart.com, smashing magazine, zurb stuff (beyond foundation), umm... Maybe goolgling some names is the way to go. Paul Irish, Lea verou, chris coyier, and I'm forgetting one of the Biggie's...

I play Pokemon shuffle and Pokemon go. I only play games I and leave at the drop of a hat

I went through a couple folks who we're n00bs like me

Interesting information @bittersweet

@Lightor I think it's just the government that can't discriminate based on religion but businesses can?

I'm starting to think it's not the right time. Management is reasonable but new and I'm not sure how ambitious they want to be out the gate. Also there have been huge budget cuts and I just don't think anyone wants to think ahead right now, especially if it would require trying to hire. I slept for a couple hours after writing that rant and I'm even feeling less ambitious about it now.

It's so frustrating but sometimes you just have to break down and update. I made the mistake of starting an update of x code at the end of the day yesterday and had to stay at work a half hour later than I intended to.

I remember very non contentious discussions about the topic with my team before the show came out.

Some films and shows have caught on. I think girl with the dragon tattoo did reasonably well at portraying computer work/hacking although it's been a long time since I've seen that.

Oh yes, have done this but am always very annoyed when it comes down to it.
