Show HN: Personal Time Tracking with Git
(doocot.sh)
Tracking time worked is unsexy at best, intrusive micro-management at worst. But I think understanding where time is spent lets individuals drive velocity through better choices. We can do this automatically with git hooks.

Calendar.org
(sourcery.zone)
It’s a while now that I’m trying to use Org Roam’s journal to track my plans. For each day, I’ll have a separate dated file, which I can open with a quick key combination, and if I need some info from other days, I’ll use my project management tooling like consult-ag to find what I need.

Work-Life Balance as a Manager
(yusufaytas.com)
As an IC, you close your laptop at 6 PM, log off, and forget about the work unless you are oncall. As a manager, you check Slack at 10 PM because someone might need you. Your calendar looks like there’s no time to do anything and you haven’t had an actual deep focus hour in weeks. Sounds familiar? Welcome to management, where your time is no longer yours. Or is it?

Gaining Years of Experience in a Few Months

This is a followup to what I wrote about how someone can have 5 times 1 year of experience instead of 5 years of experience. Note that some concepts and ideas will overlap as this is just a different way to look at the same question of career growth and pace of learning.

The missing cross-platform OS API for timers
(gaultier.github.io)
Most serious programs will need to trigger some action at a delayed point in time, often repeatedly: set timeouts, clean up temporary files or entries in the database, send keep-alives, garbage-collect unused entities, etc. All while doing some work in the meantime. A blocking sleep won't cut it! For example, JavaScript has setTimeout. But how does it work under the hood? How does each OS handle that?

The one-page calendar that changes how you view the year
(bigthink.com)
Each year, most of us throw out our old calendar and replace it with a new one. Each month, we flip our calendar forward another page, and if we ever need to know which day-of-the-week corresponds to a particular day/month combination, we have to either calculate it ourselves or flip forward/backward to the relevant month.
