  • The dangers of raw eggs are generally the dangers of getting eggs covered in feces from sick chickens. I only buy pasture raised eggs from small farms, which minimizes the risk of illness (although as a kid I ate plenty of raw cookie dough from regular eggs without incident soo…) This specific chicken egg is from a chicken raised on a natural pasture with at least 108 square feet of space per bird and as much time outdoors as they would like all year.

    Some people just can’t stand the texture though - the egg cooks some in the rice, but there is still some of that runniness for sure.






  • I actually love this. So often I have a plan where I’m like “if you actually want to do this thing, then I’m here and happy to be there with you. But if you’re not really interested but just sticking to the commitment because you’re afraid my feelings will be hurt if you cancel…I promise they won’t let’s just cancel.” But if I say this to someone, they could interpret it as “I don’t want to go”, which isn’t true! If you want to go, I want to go. I just want to gauge your level of wanting-to-go.






  • The truth, in a way that isn’t overly critical of my current employer and emphasizes what I hope to get from a new opportunity. I take it less as “what’s wrong with the company you’re leaving” and more “what are you looking for from a company you’re interested in jumping to”, which has very similar answers but focuses on the positive and also gives them actually relevant information that they can use to help you. They can connect the dots that the reason you’re looking for that is because you’re not finding it there, without you having to trash a company yourself.



















  • The problem is, loading things takes different amounts of time. I once tried to implement a real loading bar for an app because it took long enough to load that clients needed some indication that the app hadn’t crashed. There were seven steps, so I naively made each step take about 14% of the bar. Then I tested it, and it just jumped to step 4, sat there for the entire loading process, and then jumped to 100%. Because loading isn’t linear.

    The only way for loading bars to work is for them to be fake.
