http://www.andreabeaty.com/rosie-revere-engineer.html - for you get kids, I like Rosie Revere, engineer. It doesn't teach any science or engineering, but it teaches kids that science and engineering require mistakes and iterations, and it's okay if some of your attempts don't work the first time. Maybe it's my perfectionism talking but I think that's an important message.

I ain't reading all that. I'm happy for u tho. Or sorry that happened.

This is awful. Thanks for sharing.

Not exactly obsolete, but there's no reason for anyone to memorize that many digits of Pi except for trivia. Number of times it has come up in trivia: 0.

This post is a little too vague to give real advice. You don't tell us what industry you're in. You don't tell us if the engineers are the end users of the software or processes you're working on, or if they will implement the software or processes you're working on.

If they're the end users, they might be concerned that the changes you're designing are going to make their jobs harder. A lot of changes in the past couple decades aimed at "efficiency" have involved making people take on more work for no additional pay, then firing the administrative staff or other engineers who used to do that work. Even if that isn't the sort of project you're working on they are reasonably wary based on past experience. Or maybe it's not clear to you how this will make their life harder but management will find a way.

If the engineers are writing the software that you are helping design, how are you helping to make their jobs easier and more fulfilling? It's an unfortunate fact that software engineers are sometimes treated like misbehaving vending machines that will produce software if you force them to. If they are writing the code, there's a very good chance that they know more about this process than anyone else in the room, but are they treated like they know more than anyone else in the room? Is their expertise valued or are they treated like roadblocks when they give their expert opinions?

Mastodon, Lemmy, and Bluesky all provide RSS feeds for some of their pages, so you can sort of do this with just an RSS aggregator. It wouldn't do everything you asked for but it would be a start. I follow some Mastodon users and some Bluesky users' RSS feeds, unsure if you could also get a RSS feed of a Bluesky feed.

I use Miniflux: https://miniflux.app/. It's web based so you can access it on any device. It's open source so you could run your own instance, but they also have a paid version which is just $15/year. It works great and the price is super cheap so that's what I use.

"We don't care when or how you work, just get your work done and be available for calls when needed."

Easier said than done but there are a few positions where this sort of thing is possible.

When I got banned I tried to create a new account several times and used up several clever usernames which were immediately banned. So I gave up on having a Reddit account. Several months later I decided to try again, this time with a username that was just a random string of digits and using a brand-new browser. I think I was on a cellular connection instead of my home internet when I created the new account. For whatever reason it worked that time. Maybe the fingerprinting isn't as effective if you haven't logged into Reddit for several months?

It depends on the cause of your back pain so I agree with the people who said maybe see a doctor. Some people have weak back muscles so strengthening exercises help. My back pain was caused by tight hamstrings and overuse of my back, so I fixed it with a lot of hamstring stretches and getting out of my office chair as much as possible. My brother in law has a bulging disc so neither of those things would help him.

Probably the biggest help for me was WFH so I could get out of my office chair - I can lie down, walk around, or sit in different chairs when I'm taking a break, and I take a lot of breaks. I stretch my hamstrings after most workouts so I'm warmed up. I bend over to touch my toes with my feet together for 90 seconds, starting gently, breathing as I relax, and slowly increasing the stretch a little as my muscles loosen up. Then I take a 30 second break, then I move my feet to somewhere width apart and do another 90 second slow hamstring stretch. Another 30-second break, then I put my feet about halfway to a split and do a other 90 seconds touching the ground. Then a break then as wide as I can go and bend over to touch the ground. I think the slow process really helps me relax.
