I have been meaning to post this as a spiritual sequel to my job hunt article. Landing a job in the modern day is only the initial problem. Quickly jumping onto the moving train that is a young, vibrant startup is a whole separate ordeal. Orientation is ever-maturing, documentation is…

The Modern Job Hunt
So, I’ve been meaning to write this post for a very long time. I have been searching for a job for roughly a year. I thought about doing the post in parts and pieces as I interviewed with companies like Facebook, Dropbox, and Palantir, but I never had a solid…

So, I recently rebuilt my main desktop, and I had some fun on the cutting edge of technology with a Z97 motherboard and an M.2 SSD. I’ve detailed my experience below for those that perhaps google Z97 and XP941. Preparation 1. In troubleshooting, I eventually updated to the latest 0902…

complacency
