Let’s just add more lanes
I work on an app that’s pretty complex and requires a lot of back and forth between devs, customers, and the people who do all the training/sales. I’ve had A LOT of success using numbered bullet points instead of writing normal sentences and paragraphs.
Something about the numbers makes them want to read it in order instead of skimming and it being broken down and labeled lets me respond with things like, “great, what about the 3rd bullet point?” Instead of having to repeat things. Plus most of my coworkers are in Texas so they love bullets.
The Bentonville, Ark., chain founded by billionaire Sam Walton got its start 28 years ago by opening stores in rural towns like the 5,600-population Hearne. The 1,485-store, 32-state chain is the fastest growing retailer in the USA. K mart is its chief rival.
But it also has a reputation for hurting small-town businesses that can’t match the lower prices the chain can offer due to volume buying.
The Wal-Mart effect has been so huge it’s spawned the formation of consulting firms that specialize in advising small-town businesses on handling the arrival of a Wal-Mart.

I feel like there’s a word for this they could have used
This is pretty much the point. Congress will initially approve the fund, but then it is basically up to the Trump admin to do whatever with it. I imagine there will be some infrastructure explanation similar to what the Biden admin planned to do. Likely the way the bill will be written will give them a lot of flexibility on how they spend the money.
Even if Dems take Congress during midterms, Trump could still have access to a large budget this way
I have a job, but I hate it and I’ve been applying for a few weeks now. Not a single response from anything, even shit I’m exactly qualified for. Like everything they are asking for is on my resume and it’s not even a lie, still no calls.
I do have one lead on a really high paying fintech job. A friend works for their parent company and referred me the other day so I’m hoping that I at least get a practice interview out of it.
I fucking hate this shit so much tho. Having to be so fake just to get a job is incredibly frustrating for me. I hate having to lie about everything. I hate having to use phrases like “proven track record” and “user-centric, scalable web apps”. I just want to tell them “hey I know how to do the thing you want and I’m pretty good at it” and then they pay me and leave me alone while I work on their stupid fucking app
