  • For me, it was a number of things that all came about through my 20s. The biggest were learning both how and when to tell people “no”, and making a conscious effort to think proactively rather than reactively.

    What I mean by that is don’t take on extra work only because someone asks you to, and if something goes wrong, only worry about it if you can actually do something about it. Both of these are skills that require practice.

    Also, as others have said, think critically if it might just be a shitty work environment. If that’s the case, consider looking for other work while keeping this job.













  • Protonmail is definitely more private than google or Microsoft, but you shouldn’t hold 100% trust in any provider. Ultimately your data is still on their hardware and they have control of it. Also, as others have pointed out, both sides need to be secure otherwise all that data is accessible on the other side.

    You can mitigate it yourself a bit by hosting your own email server, but I highly recommend against that as its a massive headache to secure and basically every provider will reject your messages anyway.






  • Ultimately, in terms of security, you’re likely to find that both are similarly good.

    What makes Firefox desirable over Chrome is that it’s not beng developed by massive corporation that gets the majority of its profits selling user data and delivering targeted adverts.

    The other thing that may act as a deciding factor is the “MacOS doesn’t have viruses” effect. Wherein that because firefox has such a small userbase in comparison to chromium, it’s far more profitable to find exploits in chromium.

    This makes perfect sense to me.

    At the start of your career, you want to be important enough that people will care about your opinions, which means getting invited to meetings where things are discussed.

    Stage 2, you’ve been there long enough and know how things work so you can offer input and help make decisions.

    Stage 3 is the point at which people will come to you for input outside of meetings because that’s easier. You just want to do your job and generally don’t care about decisions anymore unless they bring sweeping changes.
