Tried to get tickets through imax website but their queuing system completely screwed me over. I now see there are still dates available after Christmas but they are all supposedly “sold out” which makes no sense since the dates before the holiday still have crappy front row seats. Anyone know if they’ll be unlocking those later dates at some point? Was hoping to go early January.
it was a great spot to bring the kids. good outdooor space and plenty of affordable kid friendly food options. I’ve only stopped briefly to look at the menu since they reopened and it looked a lot. ire limited since it was just a food truck. hade they opened the full kitchen yet? how is the food and vibes?
I just hope I get to see true public access in my lifetime. It’s absurd neighbors have managed to hold this up for decades and am especially saddened to see it’s now being spearheaded by a young college student since his father passed away. This fight isn’t ending anytime soon but maybe one day we can all freely enjoy the scenic views of our lovely city from this gorgeous strip of public land. I highly recommend the docent led hikes in the meanwhile (currently the only way to access).
Had my Pebble Time 2 since May and been loving it. However it randomly stopped charging recently. I cleaned everything down with alcohol and a battery status app I installed says `is_plugged` is true but `is_charging` is false. Restarting helped nothing. Anyone know what else I can try to fix this? Absurd for this to break so early into its life.
I was recently approached with an exciting opportunity to join an early stage startup as their first dedicated technical hire. I live in the Bay Area but I’ve been doing largely remote work since the pandemic (commuting in around once a week) and needed room to start our family so I’ve moved very far from SF proper. The main draw of this startup: it’s based in my town so I could actually work in an office with people again without a massive commute.
I do have two kids now though and it’d mean at least a 10% pay cut, probably more when I factor in stock and benefits (assuming whatever options I get won’t be worth anything for awhile if ever). My current engineering job provides a lot flexibility as well and I’m getting decent opportunities to improve various skills at my own pace.
I‘m struggling with this decision. A local startup is such a unique opportunity I almost feel like I have to go for it as it’s unlikely to come again. I like the product idea but I also think it’s significant long shot and would take at least 3+ years to even have a chance of stabilizing. They currently have around two years runway but I also fear what the software engineering job market will even look like in two years if this job goes south. I’d get a lot of ownership with chances to grow all my skills while learning to further leverage AI agents but I’d also be the only full time engineer on staff with no one to learn from or bounce ideas off of…
Do I ride out the economic and AI uncertainty at my big corpo job for the sake of my sanity and family? Or do I risk an exciting gamble and learn A LOT to prepare my resume for whatever lies ahead? Thoughts? Opinions?
edit: if you’re a parent of young kids I really want to hear your thoughts. The founder has kids my age but even he admits he wishes got to see them more. Plus they can afford an after school nanny which would not be possible for us after a payout for sure.
