      when an interviewer asks about a time you had conflict:

cant think of one > bad
have too many examples > bad
talking in hypotheticals > bad
one specific story you helped resolve > good
you led it and went with their idea > great

      Bay Area friends: would you consider opening your home to these two cuddly cats? A friend found them behind a gas station. Their sibling, a black cat, got adopted, but it appears no one likes orange cats. They are being kept in a bathroom for the time being and need a home.

      A friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?

      I recently rebuilt my spreadsheet that tracks our monthly outgoings. It calculates your emergency savings, and checks if your spending fits the 50/30/20 rule. Categories mirror Monzo's, so you can cross-reference against your actual spending.

Sounds useful? Clone it here:

      I delete tests every night. On purpose.

Agents write tiny, low-signal tests for free. Maintenance is not free.

Nightly Keep Tests Tight. Fewer, longer tests. Real cleanup PR: +122 / -703.

New Better with Kent.
