Mgmt: "Scope out the level of effort to resurrect this ancient project and spin it up again."

Me: "It's waaaaaaaaaayyyy higher now that you laid off everybody who knows anything about it."

There is a design I sometimes work with called the cmu and sometimes I subconsciously read it as a typo for "cum".

• Decide if you're a better fit for big company culture or small company culture. One tends to learn way more at small companies where one's scope of responsibility is wider. Working at a small company can be a WILD RIDE. Big companies offer more stability but they're likely to pigeonhole you. Most engineers I've interviewed from huge companies like Intel don't know much outside of their tiny area of responsibility.

I really want to start using Obsidian notes but I can't get my notes to sync across devices.

I tried to get them to sync with my google drive but no luck. DriveSync for android simply destroys my battery and also doesn't work at all, not to mention the privacy/security concerns. Neither iCloud nor Google Drive seem to have a nice consistent way to sync across devices or ecosystems.

So I subscribed to their premium sync service and that doesn't work either. Even though I'm logging into my sync account and the individual apps say my notebooks are merged, they still function as completely disjoint notebooks on each device.

People talk about a steep learning curve for using Obsidian but I'm not even there yet. I'm just trying to get the app to work, i haven't even started actually using it.

I'm going to venture a guess that basically EVERYBODY wants their notes to sync across devices so IDK why they don't make setting that up a streamlined process. I'll pay money (am paying money), I just want it to work!!
