That’s a fair point.
That’s a fair point.
Yes and no? My team is scattered around the US, so if my east coasters hit a snag early, I genuinely don’t want them in a holding pattern until I get around to it. Same for my coworkers on the west coast.
Some of the intensity of it has been that I assumed control of a team that was already severely mismanaged and had missed it’s initial deadlines by a month.
Of course that manager got promoted to an area that better suited his skills and I was asked to step in and try to right the ship. Our final deadline is today and we only have minor and cosmetic bugs left (that we know of).
We have plenty of new features to add moving forward, but with the project back on track and the foundation established, I’ll be able to set better deadlines for everyone’s work life balance.
I will probably always have some temptation to pull long hours for my team scattered around the country, but it becomes much less urgent now that we’re past our insane crunch.
Maybe it’s hopelessly naive of me and the next deadline will also become a crunch, but I have some control over those future dates, so I hope it will be less of an issue.
Really good advice, thank you.
Really helpful. Yeah, it’s already invaded my vacations and time off, but I’m working to create better boundaries moving forward. The problem is that there’s literally no one else who can answer certain questions or resolve certain problems and everything will grind to a halt if I don’t deal with it in a timely manner.
I know this is just a joke, but I’ve recently become a project manager for the first time. I’m open to tips and suggestions.
I’ve really enjoyed it and have worked hard to give my developers everything they need as soon as possible. Otherwise I try to stay out of the way and do my best to shield them from the pressure that’s being applied on me to achieve deadlines.
I’d agree that anyone can ask for project updates, but I really do work hard to balance client demands with c-suite expectations and the realistic outcomes described by my developers.
When can I get one of these voices to read an epub on my phone? I’d love to have something like that
How would this handle audiobooks? I’ve not made the move to Jellyfin yet, as Plex handles all my multimedia needs for now, but I’ve been keeping an eye on Jellyfin’s development with interest.
Musk’s greatest innovative genius is finding new ways to be annoying.
That’s a good point. Our media server is just a raspberry pi, so I haven’t wanted to push it too hard.
I’ve used Plex premium for several years now and generally don’t have many complaints. I know there have been some causes of concern every now and again, but they haven’t really been an issue for me personally.
That said, Jellyfin is something I’ve been watching and I’d be curious how people feel it compares.
How do you sandbox Google apps? Is it possible to do that with Google docs? I’ve been replacing everything else, but Google docs is difficult to replace.

Does Jellyfin have anything like Prologue on iOS for audiobooks?
Audiobooks make up a huge part of our media library and letting friends listen to our books is a huge part of why we use Plex.
I don’t really understand what this means. Can you explain the implications?
