It's impressive how much worse MS Teams has gotten. Genuinely baffling decisions on every single level in that UI...

What I love about these types of questions is that they come completely out of the blue

Like someone will rock up and ask for some stat that's completely irrelevant to the story, just "to make a point", without looking it up first themselves, just to imply something

And then later backtrack with "I WAS JUST ASKING" or something

Nah, go look it up yourself. Define successful for yourself, look up the statistic

Look for things like "happiest countries in the world", "GDP per capita", "life expectancy" or even "Big Mac index". Heck, make up your own index from a mix of them

Plus a lot of it has been about semantically correct formatting of your content and code.

It's a moving target in that a lot of orgs try to "game the system", or at least exploit it as best they can :)

Good content will mostly rise to the top because that's what search engines strive to optimise.

Nothing really changes that much probably. Just semantics.

I'm not keen on Apple's products. Getting their watch to go with my Pixel phone seems kinda ... no.

So, this product is for the part of the world that doesn't use iPhones, I suppose.

I'm kinda keen. Awaiting a MKBHD video, as per.

.edit: Guessing that feature's locked because it's part of FitBit, which was purchased by Google but probably still functions a bit separately.

Also literally has a link to "conclusions" :)

Because it leaves to the imagination, probably.

Worked in eye-tracking research for a bit.

Things you learn;

- Small text is hard to read

- Making things hard to read means they get missed sometimes

- Making it the only thing on the screen makes people try to read it really hard

- Which makes them more likely to remember it later

I work in UI/UX design and this f*cked with my brain for a while. It's counter to everything we're being taught.

Human brains are fun.

This is a problem with how employment works, more than anything.

I've always "hung out" with colleagues after work hours. Because we're all in the same boat, and have more in common with each-other than anyone else, because we spend 40+ hours a week in the same room.

It's a failure of HR and management, imo, when that doesn't happen. And it can be increasingly hard to fix.

> 40+ hours a week in the same room

The more it goes the more I have resistance to that very concept. Then I see people expecting to go to lunch together, and spent more time after work hours.

Am I getting broken or something ? It seems to me that’s an ungodly amount of our life time expected to spend with “just” coworkers. They are nice people, but it’s not like I am marrying them.

I guess I wouldn’t be able to live in middle size submarine.

I stopped doing employment because I don't have much interest in most people. At work I had to hang around some random guys for 40h a week and I just couldn't stand it.

Now I'm a freelancer and work remote, so I can minimize the non-work related communication with co-workers.

I have a few friends and go to parties two times a month and host my own meetup one time a month.

Glad you're able to work like that. A lot of people aren't though. For them, there needs to be a different solution.

What sort of parties happen that frequently?

80's, batcave, darkwave, gothic, ebm...

I don't want to spend a single minute more with my coworkers than I already do. I'm glad HR is not interfering with that.

I think "personality" deserves its own category + percentage.

Unfortunately, management roles are often inherited, instead of being earned.
