aizatto's comments

I use "communication snippets" or "fillers"

for example

> Person A: “Hey, do you have any idea why this number is low? It’s a mystery … nobody I’ve talked to yet seems to know.”

is really long

I just say

> curious; why is that number low?

other prefixes I use are:

1. adding to the discussion

2. for discussion

3. low pri, no need to respond

4. neutral

5. nonactionable

6. sharing opinion

I won't respond to candidates suspected who are out of my desired remote location.

> Any recommendations on how to think about expected value when minimizing suffering?

I don't think it's about "minimizing suffering". There is things to suffer for, and there are things which you shouldn.t

I like to prefix my questions with "When should"

Therefore:

> When should I suffer?

and

> When should I not suffer?

I built a platform where I record questions I ask myself

Here is for the keyword "suffering"

I built a platform where I recorded questions I asked myself, and answered some of them. Maybe it can help you.

Not everything is important. Not all mentions, threads, conversations, channels are important.

Prioritize the most important ones.

Using Slack subsections I prioritize like so:

  1. P0 - Stakeholders and Peers
    Includes my manager, and peers I work with regularly
    Includes announcement groups
    Includes leadership groups
  2. P0 - Adhoc Conversations
    Anything with a P0 individual
  3. P1 - Reports
    All of my direct reports
  4. P0 - Incidents
    Anything that needs my attention
    Alerts, monitors, etc
  5. P0 Engineering
  6. Almost everything else
  7. Guilds and Social

Hope it helps.

If something is important enough, it will reach you.

This is a really cool idea!

edit: feature/request

Scenario, if I save a link from HackerNews, I like to save the submission of it as well. I wonder if I send a HackerNews link to forlater.email; it can parse the article and remind me I got it from HackerNews.

For example, I'd submit "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31852384" and in the email, it'd contain:

1. HackerNews link (so i can review the comments as well)

2. Original article link and content

food for thought, but love your product idea

Another cool tool to easily launch a VPN of your choice (WireGuard, OpenVPN, SSH) in a cloud provider.

I tried it out before just to test it out, it's pretty cool.

I disagree with this article.

Higher resolution (to an extent) allows me to see more stuff.

4K on a 27" doesn't work for my workflow.

My workflow on a laptop is to put two windows side by side so that I can compare things/read documents/code against documentation.

Unfortunately most websites nowadays are designed for widths of 1280px, and anything less than that is sometimes treated as mobile or gives it a terrible responsive design. It frustrates me, endlessly.

On a 16" MBPr I can get 2048x1280, which allows me to put up two windows side by side at 1024px, which does work for most sites, but sometimes there are some sites which are just broken.

A big reason why I need larger windows is when doing side by side PR Reviews on GitHub, 1024px can only show 56 characters, 1280px can only show 78 characters. Personal opinion, GitHub has too much white space. I tend to have another window open to compare against documentation/etc.

I've compared it at

https://github.com/aizatto/character-length

https://github.com/aizatto/character-length/commit/bae8f00fe...

For desktop:

I'm comfortable is 27" 2560x1440. Two windows side by side at 1280px. Pixel pitch is 0.2331mm

Using 4k at 27" is too small for me. Pixel pitch is 0.1554mm . Without the correct dongle/cable MacBooks can't even push at 4k 60hz via HDMI. Tip: use DisplayPort.

I've settled on 38" 3840x1600 because it allows me to setup three windows side by side at 1280. Which works great for my workflow.

Which sometime tends to be:

- 1 window for source material - 1 window for my main focus - 1 window for a comparison material

38" 3840x1600 pixel pitch is 0.229mm.

I settled on the Dell U3818DW, because it can charge my MBP via USB-C. Only recommendation is if your laptop is asleep, don't leave your laptop plugged int. It likes to wake it.

The 1600 also gives me some extra room vertically.

If you can afford it, I'd recommend giving 3840x1600 a try.
