So many times when I think I&#8217;ve needed to take time to think deeply and try to explain something, Charity is there to the rescue. This time, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.honeycomb.io\/blog\/engineering-levels-at-honeycomb\/\">she explains job levels at Honeycomb<\/a> &#8211; but the lessons and explanations are applicable at most tech companies.<\/li><li>I&#8217;m in love with my Mac M1 &#8211; so while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsanddc.com\/apple-m1-processors-have-unpatchable\">this flaw is concerning<\/a>, afaict, it&#8217;s not nearly as risky as the article states.

She&#8217;s a fantastic contributor to the software community.<\/li><li>This is an interesting article on <a href=\"https:\/\/ashleyjanssen.com\/how-to-redefine-what-it-means-to-waste-time\/\">what it means to waste time<\/a>. I like that it says it&#8217;s ok to do what you enjoy, and that downtime <em>is<\/em> productive time.<\/li><li>Finally (sixthly?), something I often do when I travel (which means I haven&#8217;t done a whole lot of it the last few years) is read fiction. I have selectively read Stephen King novels throughout my life, and gave <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/56852407-billy-summers\">Billy Summers<\/a> a shot &#8211; and loved it. Not as good as 11\/22\/63 (probably my favorite King novel), but still high quality writing.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s all I have for today.
