I've contracted for companies with email policies that nuke anything older than 30 days.

I typically learn it the hard way when I go back to look for an email I need and...it has been deleted.

I think maybe 1-2 people in my entire time of doing it, but now at least the people I talk to regularly in software engineering know.

I know Kagi has its drama, but I can't get past how useful it has been to me. I did get a new home lab server recently so I may start setting up something for SearXNG.

The UK doesn't have real sushi? Like you can't even buy sushi grade fish from a local mart and try making it yourself?

I've started using "search it" or "kagi it" just to avoid using the term google. I can't even remember the last time I used Google on purpose and got useful results.

I set an alarm that went off earlier today and I totally spent the next 5 minutes trying to figure out why I set it...

...which made me late for a meeting.

OP, please take this succinct statement to heart.

I've owned or adjacently owned or been involved with multiple businesses. It always starts out as excitement, it always turns in to paperwork and lawyers and permits and licenses.

I loved the people, the customers (some), the employees, etc. but I always spent more time doing business shit than the things I loved doing. And it erodes your soul over time.

Now, if you end up with an award-winning thing and can afford to pay for some help with some of that stuff? Hell yeah. That's the dream. But it can be tough to get there.
