Simple table with four sortable columns would be infinitely more readable.
honestly, who even comes up with these graphics?! More importantly, who looks at it and approves this?

I built a GitHub repo that allows you to quickly spin up LangGraph agents using Claude Code with built-in tools and pre tested configurations.
This looks great, will definitely check it out!
I'm working on an app that I use to track my sets/reps. I've added in a trends screen (both for muscle groups and for individual exercises) to check on if I'm actually progressively overloading on a consistent basis. I'm currently adding an AI wrapper around the data to figure out better insights about certain exercises, what I'm missing, etc.
Mexico... must be absolutely lovely country to visit, but due to gangs 'activities' its a no-go for me and my family, or myself alone. I don't mind backpacking semi-safe 3rd world countries alone where I stick like a sore thumb in any crowd, but this is next level(s) of unsafe.
We have few friends who go there (not specifically here) even with kids, mostly due to low costs, stating all is fine and beheadings are happening 100/200km further away but I can't even begin to explain how stupid such argument is. To each their own.
The funny part about this is I travelled all over Mexico and most locals told me that they are scared to travel to the US because there's a high chance they'll be shot. Call it personal experience, but I've felt MUCH safer in CDMX than in any major US city.

This is just depressing to look at from a European perspective....
Another way of looking at this is hiring Technical product managers, aka, folks who have moved to product management from software engineering. This automatically means you have engineers and product managers talking the same language from day one and you don't have to package tech debt as "value propositions". Being software engineers themselves, the PMs at our company usually have a good understanding of when to move slow now (to move fast later), when it's acceptable to apply band aid fixes to keep the ship moving forward or when it's "everything is on fire, this needs a complete rewrite!" time
I've dabbled in management a few times in my career. This meant attending manager-only meetings and trainings. I'll never forget one time when a manager in a focus group said something along the lines of, "The tech sector is going through a rough patch, so we can turn the screws on our employees and they'll have to take it because they will have a hard time trying to find a job somewhere else." This is at a company where most of the employees are on work visas, so losing their job can very rapidly escalate into having to leave the country in short order.
After I picked my jaw up off the floor I realized I simply lacked the scruples I'd need to be "one of them." I also started looking into every legal protection I had available to me in my jurisdiction.
I know not every manager is like that. I'd like to think I wasn't. But there are enough of them that think that way that legal protections often need to be there.
You pretty much summed up managers that have most of their employees on H1-B in the US. I know multiple managers that offload most of the work to the Asian immigrants on the H1-B visa, have them work 10+ hours a day and know that they can get them to do anything they want, because if they don't, they are scared that they can get fired and have to leave the country. I know multiple friends who silently work on weekends to potentially avoid being fired and leave the country!

I used to have the 5th generation iPod nano that had the scroll wheel and looked like this and I would buy it just for the nostalgia!

You don't have to act dumb (and you shouldn't). You just have to not act like a "rock star". The most brilliant devs I've ever met were people nobody would call "rock stars". They were collaborative team players.
This, exactly this. I know so many people who are "above average" developers that I would love to work with because they are nice, collaborative people that are a joy to work with. The biggest problems we've faced are with these so called "10x developers", who do get stuff done, but are a total pain in the a* to deal with!
This probably will never happen, but if they let me run MacOS on the iPad, I'd buy it in a hearbeat.
