1 year agoMan i had the opposite experience. Bought some great ones for running and lab work but when i set them at a volume i could hear they were basically just normal headphones and everyone else could hear them too.
Im a skinny dude with no hearing issues, wish they worked better for me.
This is the way. Time yourself by hand. Automate. Use the saved time to automate further. Meet deadlines as if you were doing it by hand. Then during the inevitable crunch time you can miraculously come through. Each quarter, cut about 10% off the time you “need” to do automated tasks, showing constant improvement.
Lastly, always guard source code closely and be aware if coding on company time means they own that code. You can bring up that you think something can be automated, but this is a job they’re gonna have to pay you extra for. Show a demo if you need to, but remember that coding automations isn’t your job, so don’t hand that over for free (payment in social capital depends on your job).
