A question i was just asked via DM by someone with burnout and i have *no* idea:

How do you find out what interests you?
(looking for career-change)

Follow up questions attached 👇
He is worried about picking his "hobbies" because they act as a "refuge" and he doesn't want them to stop being it (what i understand).

The previous career he just "fell" into and (according to him) never really enjoyed apart of "being good/successful in it".
So TL;DR: Are there frameworks to understand:
- what you are good in?
- what interests you?
- what you enjoy?
- what you should pick as career?

thanks in advance 🙏
Here a few things recommended so far:

Quick thread because i hear them quite often:

Common concerns about remote work:

Speed of iteration:
This is usually a discussion of async vs sync in disguise. I would recommend having people work in overlapping timezones.
Nuance in communication being lost:
I personally agree on this one. In-person discussion is better for nuanced topics. Try to meet in person for these kind of discussions - eg larger pivots.

I usually frame this as:
Innovation is easier in person, iteration is easier remote.
Trust:
Systemization of trust is a hard task for managers no matter if colocated or not.

Remote work forces you to actively think about processes and output evaluation - instead of using micromanagement as monkey-patch.

The role of engineering management:

- Increase confidence
- Reduce complexity
- Manage expectations

Imho that's it. 🛠

Explainer attached - LMK what you think
Increase confidence:

Confidence not in the "hell we are amazing" sense.

- Ensure your team can make decisions (know what + why)
- Tooling (CI&CD, linters, complexity scoring, etc)
- Notes, comments, documentation
- People, their life and their careers
- Long term vision
Reduce complexity:

Complexity can be in the literal sense in code but also in an organizational structure.

The less complexity the faster people can work.

Your job is to have a plan in place to reduce it step by step. Abstract/isolate/shield it where you can't remove it.

Tiny useless future predictions…

(a collection thread of strong believes loosely cared 🤷‍♀️)
Doing basic exercise helps knowledge workers being creative:

My assumption is that in the next ~5y startups will have small exercise tools embedded in their normal office layout. (eg monkeybars in the waiting space in front of a toilet)

Chinese will do it first. SV will copy.
Costs of living gets more and more expensive. Networks more and more important.

Next ~5y "invite only communes" will have a renaissance in high cost cities (NYC, HK, SF, etc). They will require application letters. Costly services will handle the backend, cleaning, admin, etc.

An Upgradable Downgrade

Jimin was the campus slut until everyone suddenly stopped buying his services. what confused him more was when Min Yoongi, popular senior known for being filthy rich started availing 'new services' from him.

- this au is day one of my yoonmin week aus for 2019

- do not reply to the thread. only rt w comment.

- this is an original work therefore if you spot similarities with other works it is by pure coincidence.
“Darling, I don’t give discounts for the best quality blowjobs.” Jimin rolled his eyes. “I gave you what you paid for, now give me what I worked for.”

“Damn, no need to be feisty, whore.” The boy spoke as he gave Jimin the cash at the price they settled for.

(MUELLER REPORT LIVE THREAD) This thread chronicles—in real time—the release of the Mueller Report, with news and analysis from a @Newsweek columnist and @NYTimes bestselling author (Proof of Collusion). Please retweet this thread widely for those you think might benefit from it.
1/ I want to start by offering my @Newsweek column from today (April 17), which sets the stage for what the Thursday (April 18) release of the Mueller Report will and will not be: newsweek.com/william-barr-r…
2/ I've also detailed errors made by media in the run-up to the release of the Mueller Report. If you read the @Newsweek piece atop this thread and then the thread below, you'll get a sense of what an accurate accounting of events is up against right now.

I have had PDs mentor grad students. It's important to check with both to make sure the mentoring is going well. Also let the student know the PD won't write the letter of Rec if the student doesn't want that.
Also, to any PD who abuses students this way: you suck. Stop. Never joke to an international student about deportation. It's not funny, ever. If you are someone who sees this behavior, don't encourage it, and if possible, report it.
Student 15: I felt that my MS advisor was verbally abusive. I frequently felt like a failure and it made it so that I was scared to go to him if something went wrong. Which of course made him more mad. 1/3

Good morning fellow law nerds! I'm a little late to the live tweeting this morning because the Senate site wasn't working but HERE I AM #TeamLegal
Today is a lot of witnesses talking about why Barr should or should not be confirmed.

Right now Marc Morial President and CEO of Urban League is up now
A few thoughts from yesterday:

Barr is basically guaranteed confirmation unless something wild happens because there's not the votes to block him. Knowing that Barr's job was to reasonable and non-confrontational yesterday. He had to come off as an adult in the administration.

Dear friends & colleagues- the support you have shown in a vulnerable moment has been overwhelming. I will try to highlight some of the advice and reflections I have received on #burnout that were helpful & thought provoking:
1) Celebrate your numerator. We focus to much on the denominator (those things not yet done), but the wins we have delivered get forgotten too quickly.
2) Life is a marathon run on an oval track. There are often things/issues that come around again. Don’t beat yourself up, you have not failed- this is life. Learn a bit more about yourself with each experience.

Good morning, babies! Welcome to another installment of Lightly Edited For Clarity, where I'm going to take a deep dive into Donald Trump's interview with the Failing New York Times as it is transcribed here. nytimes.com/2017/12/28/us/…
Tips are appreciated. I do this basically for a living, except I don't have anybody paying me an actual salary to do it. Your support lets me keep doing this. paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr…
Back when The Onion was more of a local phenomenon and patterned more after a local newspaper, one of their recurring features/running gags was a series of incoherent movie reviews by a small town amateur critic with a focus problem.
