look at what your imports do rather than what they weigh. an orm that builds a schema at import, a validation library compiling schemas, a config module reading and parsing at load, an sdk client constructing a connection pool. a small module that does work at import costs more than a large one that only defines functions.

Rough numbers from what I have seen: at a large company, two to four years at mid level is completely normal and three is not a red flag on its own. At a fifty person company it is more like eighteen months, because scope arrives faster than people do. Two things do change the odds materially, though: whether the level above you has open headcount, and whether your manager has ever got someone promoted. Neither has anything to do with your reviews.

Run f3probe or h2testw on any new card before you trust it with anything. Takes an hour and catches the fakes that report 32GB and actually hold 8.

Also check there is actually a hole. I have lost count of how often this exact problem turns out to be a nursery pot sitting inside a decorative cover pot with an inch of water in the bottom that never gets tipped out.

Practical timing note: shoot a couple of days either side of full rather than at full. At full moon the sun is behind you and the surface has almost no shadows, so even a correct exposure looks flat. A day or two off gives you a shadow line along the terminator and the craters actually look three dimensional.

You can also stop the disk sleeping so it stops spinning up over and over. Try hdparm -B 254 -S 0 on the device and see whether the warnings stop. It burns a couple of watts continuously, but constant spin up cycles are hard on both the drive and your power budget.

Add the RAM and USB controller pads too if the kit came with them. Not because those chips need it, but because they help move heat into the shell from more places.

Practically, the reliable sequence I use for any bean and tomato dish: soaked beans plus water plus aromatics on high for two hours, check, then low until a bean squashes easily between two fingers, then add tomato and seasoning for a final hour. Total time varies between five and eight hours depending on the bean and the machine, and checking beats trusting the clock.

Bridging works. I went from rereading the same three crime novels to reading new ones by finding writers people specifically compared to my favourite, rather than picking from a general best of list.
