I had to send a soulless corporate emai(my first)l to one of my devs who fucked up pretty big. I ran it through copilot and it told me my opening paragraph was to emotional. I've worked with the guy for 7 years and been his boss for 3. The email was about accountability and communication which I probably should have sent 2 years ago.
I've only had this happen one time. I didn't enter my time in our time tracker on time over 90 times in a year. We have till 1 the following day before we get a ding for it. Pretty deserved chat. I had already had a chat with my bosses boss before the meeting with HR and my boss so I was expecting it.
My boss also had to get the same chat, and I think his boss did too.
While we do overspend the bigger problem is we under tax, specifically the rich. Our debt payments are also getting out hand which is going to be a big problem.
Bonuses paid in stock should be taxed by the cash value of the stock at time of the bonus of shares gained or 37% of the shares gained go to the government to be sold 1/12 at a time over the next year.
Some of that is ADHD but some of it is non supportive parents. I never doubted my intelligence, or self worth. I did suck at homework and do good on tests.
Edit: tldr for the rest I no like homework and am competitive.
I failed algebra and could do most of it in my head because I just couldn't be bothered to spend the time to do the homework. I had to retake the second semester again and was sitting at 32% after a quarter, I had passing out good grades in every test but did zero homework. In order to avoid a third time I did all my homework the last quarter got at least an A if not 100% on every test and quiz and had 2nd highest grade which was over 100% it of all my teachers classes. Brought my grade up to a D + by the numbers but teacher gave me a B+.
I much preferred college math where my grade was only tests. My ex gf from highschool who later married my best friend happened to be in all my undergrad math classes. I did bad on my first trig quiz when i went back to college at 26. She talked shit to me so I got a study buddy and she never beat me on another test for trig, calculous 1 or 2.
My study partner bless his heart busted his ass for those classes and got B's. I browsed Reddit in class and studied for an hour or 2 with him and was top 3 in the class.
I was terrible at proofs in discrete math though.
And for anybody that actually read this I'm sorry for my ramblings.
I use it for specific code syntax for .net but not for the grand scheme stuff. I do wish I had it integrated in visual studio to do some of the really annoying refractors that are in a billion spots but only require a small change. I don't trust it for anything beyond what I would trust the greenest jr dev to do, and just like the jr dev it is going to mess up even the simple things so keep a close eye on it.
I use it for .net syntax and .net lib references I figure if it's good for anything it's that. I also used it to write a soulless email about communication and accountability I had to send a dev after he just set himself out of office for 4 days and missed his deliverable deadline.
Me making my devs create a base exception for handling all exceptions that contain messages for display in the UI. Which has a parent base exception we use for all our exceptions which of course has Exception for it's parent.
I hate our codebase but I'm so close to killing off 15 year old vb.net code. If the left me alone and I had the time I spent in meetings or 20 mins between meetings everything on our roadmap for the next year would have been done 2 years ago.
I enjoy his books quite a bit. Like the other poster mentioned he develops great systems of magic. Stormlight Archives is his centerpiece for the cosmere universe which is now 1/2 complete at 5 books published.
Emperor's soul is a short story that really does of his unique take on magic systems.
When my ex's grandparents needed a new computer I got them a chrome OS all in 1.
When I started dating her in 2013 her parents were paying for AOL like $25 a month. They also had cable Internet. Saved them like $1500 on paying for AOL because they thought they needed to pay to access the email.
It's the top tax rate. It could be 90% and if be fine with that
