last week was strange. I don’t feel I got a lot done, but my (amateur) chess ranking dropped almost 100 points, which seems to indicate that my brain got fried anyhow.
A lot changed in our team the last two weeks... Team lead left (who did a lot of things in our team, the initial creator and mind behind the product), we will have to migrate the product to different hardware (because it was also ran by our team lead), another colleague left, we depend on an open source product who is now rewriting to Rust and will charge heavily for some features we're using which will be closed source in the next version.
Tough times! Though you've delivered so impressively @U04V15CAJ that I'm confident you'll make it through
Our team still has very capable people and everybody in the company has been kind and understanding. The split was also amicable. It's understandable people want a break after a few years.
That's good to hear
I must have sucked the oxygen out of the room. Last week was good for me. I've been feeling less productive recently, and this last week was much better for me.
Also, I’ve been on boarding a new colleague, which, while Nice, is quite tiring for me.
Yes. An (I would say, even compared to me) older guy, mainly frontender who became sick and tired of JS, and wanted to get into functional programming. Had offers from different places but chose us and Clojure. Spent the time from his resignation to him starting with us reading a bunch of Clojure books, setting up Cursive, and doing 4-Clojure. Submitted his first PR on his first day.
I had meetings everyday but managed to get a PR to the next step (things are working but super ugly UI), which was a small win.
I don't understand the question. I told them I couldn't pay and never heard from them.
On the topic of UI, does anyone know of a good resource for UI/UX resources aimed at developers? I need to consolidate my blog and portfolio page into one and I would be keen to have my own design from scratch.
