On Monday, a brave Google Cloud engineer spoke up against the corporation’s complicity in Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people. A video of the worker standing up for their rights went viral, with some reposts reaching up to 8 million views and generating widespread global support, including from Palestinians in Gaza. Three days later, Google fired this worker.

Google has engaged in a clear cut act of retaliation against its own worker for speaking up about the terms and conditions of their labor.

This is the first immediate firing of a worker after a public, brave act of employee dissent against Project Nimbus, Google and Amazon’s shared $1.2 billion contract with the Israeli military and government. This is the second worker associated with the No Tech For Apartheid campaign that Google has retaliated against for organizing within their workplace, and the latest in a series of cases in which Google has retaliated against workers for speaking up about the corporation’s ethical malpractice in a range of business decisions.

While touting the importance of “democratic values” in the workplace, Google is shutting down free speech and silencing debate and dissent among workers within the company.

Google’s aims are clear: The corporation is trying to silence workers to hide their moral failings. Google is enabling the world’s first AI-powered genocide through Project Nimbus. Through this contract, Google and Amazon are aiding and abetting the Israeli apartheid state and genocidal campaign in Gaza against Palestinians. Instead of cleaning up its own house, and dropping its contract with a genocidal regime, Google is punching down on its own workers. For almost three years, thousands of Google & Amazon workers have organized against the companies’ contracts with the Israeli government and military, with no response from management or executives.

As a Cloud Software Engineer on critical technology that enables Project Nimbus to run on sovereign Israeli data centers, this worker spoke from a place of deep personal concern about the direct, violent impacts of their labor. They spoke from a deep belief that truly ethical engineering must account for the impact on communities around the world.

While terminating this brave worker, Google HR asked how they were feeling. The worker replied: “proud to be fired for refusing to be complicit in genocide.”

Tuesday 12th December 2023

End of September: I quit my first proper tech job after 2 years.

End of October: I applied for university on a whim and got a place.

Start of December: Randomly got a new tech job without searching.

God blessing me left, right, and center?! That's just a summary of what's been happening the past few months. I will go into more detail below~!

Here are some tips for talking to people on LinkedIn: post 💕

If you're wondering how I got here in terms of my coding journey: video | post 💕

End of September

I quit my job because it was getting tiring and I couldn't see any chance of me developing there. I will forever be grateful for the opportunity to do my apprenticeship with them and then go on to become their Jr Web Developer - but from there, everything felt static. When the projects being given were getting absolutely boring, I knew then I needed some kind of change. So, I just quit. I said on a Monday I was quitting and that same Friday, I left. Politely and respectfully, of course.

End of October

I was so random how I did this but my Dad suggested for me to apply to university. I told him I didn't even have the right qualifications they wanted. He said "Bet". We looked at the local universities and none mentioned any apprenticeship certifications but mentioned work experience in the field. I applied with that knowledge. Wrote the cringiest personal statement about why the universities should accept me - and it worked. I got into the university of my city which seemed super prestigious to me, 18-year-old me would be screaming that I got a place at the university that I deemed for super smart people.

I made a post about it: link 💕

Start of December

My plan now was to wait until university next September 2024. I planned to relax, level up my current skills by myself or helping via volunteering, and maybe get a few certificates (because I love my name on certificates), and, most importantly: catch up on some anime shows - which I did complete:

Ushio & Tora: 2nd Season

Hunter x Hunter

Vinland Saga

JOJO Part 5 (again)

Jujutsu Kaisen 2nd Season (still watching)

Basically, I was supposed to relax until around February time, then start looking for a new job - tech or non-tech.

!! At this point, I was not looking for a new job !!

Last Tuesday I got a message from a recruiter on LinkedIn saying my profile was cool and would love to help me get an interview for a Frontend Software Engineer position in the city. I had a hunch to tell him I was okay and wasn't looking for a new job right now, but I was getting bored recently and this to me was an exciting new thing to do, so I said yeah why not!

The meeting was on the following Thursday and I met the IT manager. He liked me (same back to him) and wanted me to meet the team next Monday (yesterday). Afterward, I was feeling "Oh wait this is getting serious, I'm only here on a whim, like I'm actually doing good?" so I thought "Okay let's make an effort on the next 'interview'!!".

Monday came and I met the funniest set of people ever in a tech team. Then I thought "Lowkey highkey... would be so cool to work here~!" and the feedback I got was really positive. I got the job. Today I talked to their HR to finalise things.

All of this is thanks to the Almighty God, Lord Jesus, and the Holy Spirit of course~~! 🥰🙏🏾☦️

[itsbenedict]

okay, so- the past three days have been pretty insane, hence no to-do lists. did not know hour-to-hour what in the hell i'd have to do next.

monday morning, there was a company meeting, and it was announced that we were being sold. this was not... the most surprising thing in the world, because about a month ago there was this sudden hasty push by the top to reorganize the business into distinct independent units that didn't depend on shared services. like, what else would the point of doing that be, if not to sell off pieces of the business? sure, they said that wasn't happening, but who the hell was fooled by that?

so i used to do most of my work on these projects for this one specific business unit, building and running a bunch of middleware API integrations for our learning management system. but my boss, who used to be in charge of the dev team generally, got assigned to this totally different unit- and she liked me enough that she pushed really hard to get me reassigned to her unit.

so i was already conflicted about that:

i really like my boss- she's really understanding of my need for flexibility to work on my side projects, she only cares that i get the work done (and even with many side projects, i still consistently exceed expectations and get a full-time workload done ahead of schedule), and she was pushing hard to get me a raise against upper management who'd taken to using covid austerity as an excuse to never give anyone any raises ever. and the team assigned to this unit didn't have any senior devs who could handle a big infrastructure transition, and i'd just become AWS certified, and without someone like me, my coworkers assigned to that unit would be in some hot water. plus, after the transition, maintaining a reduced suite of products would probably be easier day-to-day.

but on the other hand, all my projects in the other business unit, with the LMS- those are pretty vital, and the nature of the contracts with those clients necessitates frequent maintenance and changes. my code for those integrations is bad, for various reasons but mainly that there is no dev environment for testing changes. it's fundamentally about managing production data in databases we don't directly control, so every change has to be done very quickly and carefully, with no room for big refactors to clean things up (and risk breaking stuff). it's a mess, and no one in the other business unit is prepared to take it over. plus- i liked working directly with clients, doing work where if i did the work someone was appreciative of the work. it was motivating!

ultimately, i decided to trust my boss and follow her to the other business unit. we weren't completely splitting from the rest of the business- i'd still be able to train up someone else to take over my projects, we'd still have the shared customer accounts management software, and- crucially- i'd still have the boss who understood my needs and had no interest in squeezing value out of me.

so i went on vacation for a couple weeks right after committing to that decision- and then i came back on monday, and that day they announce we're being sold.

also that my boss is fired and being replaced by someone from the new company.

also that we have two months to completely disconnect all our products from shared service infrastructure and rebuild our own.

also no takesies-backsies, the acquisition agreement included terms that the former company not hire back any of the sold-off employees or even discuss the acquisition with them at all. no chance to react to the new information except to sign the new offer letter by close of business on Wednesday.

i was unhappy about this! can you tell???

so my first thought was- okay, this is bullshit. i still want to work for the LMS people, the LMS people still want me to work for them, there has to be a solve here. so i go to the guy in charge of that division, who also wants me to keep working there, and he says okay i'll have our lawyers look into it.

and then... he gets back to me sounding like a robot, "i am unable to discuss this further with you at this time", which is so obviously out of character for the guy that i can tell legal's thrown the book at him. i talk to legal myself- it's a dead end. they can't- they're unable to even talk about why they can't talk about it, because obviously this deal was engineered to prevent me from doing exactly what i'm trying to do here.

so i go at it from the other angle. president of the sold company, now a wholly-owned for-profit subsidiary of a nonprofit organization (is that even allowed???), i explain to him, hey, this is a mistake, i'm only here because my old boss really wanted me to be on her team, surely you can let me go continue doing my actual job?

nope.

so then i start playing hardball.

the salary they're offering me is, adjusted for inflation, less than the salary i was offered two years ago, which had come with the (entirely failed) non-promise that i'd be bumped up to a certain level very quickly after some formalities re: the employment structure. i explain, in detail, how upset i am with the entire state of affairs- and i threaten to walk, which i am allowed to do. i'm not required to sign their new contract- i'd need to go job-hunting, sure, but i have money in the bank, i can afford to do it, and i could definitely get a better deal somewhere else.

this is a tense situation! my old boss knew this team needed me- but they unceremoniously fired her while she was on vacation, so her opinion doesn't mean dirt to them apparently. it's unclear how vital i really am to this- they could maybe train up one of the other devs to handle the AWS stuff.

and on my side- if i walk, that's it. all that horrible messy code for the LMS stuff- i don't get two months to train someone else up and write documentation and do some housecleaning. i'm gone! my horrific dirty laundry (and hours and hours of regular maintenance work) gets handed off to some other dev who's totally unprepared for it, and that person inevitably puts a curse on my entire family line as retribution for me leaving them holding that intolerable bag. i don't actually want to walk, because then i end up the bad guy in the eyes of people i respect and care about.

(also i'd have to do a job hunt and that shit is so god damn annoying you have no idea you probably have some idea.)

so i tell the guy, look- i can do better. i'm basically starting over doing harder work at an unfamiliar company, and if i'm doing that anyway, why not do it for someone who'll pay me? if you don't give me X amount of money, i'm walking out, and now you don't have an infrastructure guy during the two-month window you have to migrate a shit-ton of infrastructure. i am a serious dude and you can't just fuck with me!

(and inside i'm like:

because oh god i am not a serious dude i am so easily fucked with what if i'm pushing my luck too hard)

and he lets me fuckin' stew. 5:00 on wednesday i need to have either signed a contract or not signed a contract, and he hedges and goes to talk with the higher-ups and makes no promises, and i have no idea whether it's because i scared him or if he's trying to work out how to replace me or what. all this negotiation has been eating my brain for the past couple days and it's coming down to the wire-

and then a couple hours before the deadline he gets back to me with a counteroffer. it's less than i was asking, because that's how negotiations work, but it is more than i was making when i was brought on, by a good 10k.

so now it's on to round two. i'm gonna stick around for this two-month period, make this transition work, clean up my mess and take care of things with my now ex-coworkers- and then if they haven't either proven their management is tolerable or given me a crystal-clear path to advancement, we're back to the standoff- except this time, they'll have a good idea of exactly what it is they stand to lose.

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. okay. okay. yeah. so that's dealt with for the time being. i can breathe now. we'll see how it goes. fuck.

Work Bestie

I'm in a tiny tiny little social conundrum. I work with a team of 5 immediate coworkers and we all have offices in the same side of a hall. the office layout is:

WB (work bestie) | Me | Hallway | 1 | 2 | 3 <these are other coworkers

Here is the problem- WB is a totally ok guy. Sweet and fun often and brings in home made bagels and schmear. However he has one big flaw as a coworker and that is his very sensitive ego paired with a dull sense of when to leave a conversation. Additionally he has smaller flaws including: takes on the smallest project and work load.

This means he will often stop by my office and linger in the door while I continue glancing at my inbox and to-do list, knowing he hasn't delegated himself the same amount of work as myself or my coworkers do. Usually not a problem, I just handle it.

[NB- his beautiful loving 19 yo cat passed a month ago and his mother is in the hospital]

Today we were talking about a student who I had just chatted with. He was describing this student's profile in some software we use, which I said 'oh yeah, I just met with that student and saw the same thing. I just looked at that.' (V standard that when meeting with a student you pull up their profile in this software.) He then got extremely offended and sulky stating that "I know you know how to do your job! I would never imply you weren't doing the right thing!" and just generally very agitated. And then was like, mad at me because I had sort of flippantly said 'yeah, I know, I just met with him and looking at it'. Which is definitely mildly condescending, but also justified situation-ally.

I'm now in the position to apologize for his hurt ego or just let him and the weekend break handle it and hope he has a good weekend and comes in on Monday clean slate.

So, we are work besties because our offices abut each other's, but I am sick of managing his ego.

Credit: NASA New space technology ideas emerge every day from innovators across the country, and NASA’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program on Monday selected more than 100 projects for funding. This program offers small businesses in the United States early-stage funding and support to advance the agency’s goals of exploring the unknown in air and space while returning benefits to Earth. Specifically, NASA’s SBIR program awarded $93.5 million in Phase II contracts to bring 107 new ideas to life from 95 selected small businesses. Of these businesses, nearly 80% have less than 50 employees, and 21% are receiving their first Phase II award, valued at up to $850,000 each. Each small business was also eligible to apply for up to $50,000 in Technical and Business Assistance program funding to help find new market opportunities and shape their commercialization roadmap. “We are thrilled to support this diverse set of companies as they work diligently to bring their technologies to market,” said Jenn Gustetic, director of Early Stage Innovation and Partnerships with NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) at the agency’s headquarters in Washington. “Inclusive innovation is integral to mission success at NASA, and we’re excited to see that 29% of the awardees are from underrepresented groups, including 11% women-owned businesses.” In Phase II, awardees will build on their success from the program’s first phase to bring their technologies closer to real-world use. The companies have 24 months to execute their plans, which focus on their technologies’ path to commercialization. For example, NASA selected women-owned and first-time NASA Phase II awardee nou Systems, Inc. in Huntsville, Alabama, for its genetic testing instrument. While portable genetic sequencing already exists, field sequencing – that would allow DNA analysis anywhere on Earth or off planet – remains unfeasible as the preparation of the DNA Library remains an intensely manual process, needing a trained wet lab technician and several pieces of laboratory equipment. The Phase II technology takes advantage of several cross-enabling technologies, creating an instrument to automate the genetic sequencing process. “Our program works directly with small businesses to forge innovative concepts and technologies that drive impact for NASA projects as well as a myriad of commercial endeavors,” said Jason L. Kessler, program executive for NASA’s SBIR and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program at NASA Headquarters. “This collaboration results in realized opportunities not only for NASA but all of humanity.” This includes technologies aiming to reduce astronaut workload and improve robotic scientific endeavors on the Moon and Mars. PickNik Inc. based in Boulder, Colorado, will use its Phase II award to continue developing a hardware-agnostic platform for supervised autonomy that empowers humans to command a remote robot to complete complex tasks with minimal input, which could support the Artemis program. Outside of NASA, PickNik’s software product may be of interest to commercial space customers working on low Earth orbit destinations, in-space servicing, and more, as well as on Earth in areas like warehouse management, oil rig maintenance, and deep-sea exploration.  The NASA SBIR program is open to U.S. small businesses to develop an innovation or technology. The program is part of STMD and managed by NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley.

In 2024, gaming laptops have continued to break barriers with new heights in power, display quality, and gaming immersion. One of the standout models this year is a 16-inch 4K gaming laptop featuring an ultra-clear 120 Hz display, powered by Windows 11 Pro, with a massive 32GB of RAM, 2TB of storage, and advanced fingerprint unlock capabilities. This powerhouse machine is designed for serious gamers and professionals who demand top-notch performance for multitasking, gaming, and multimedia work. Let’s dive into the core features that make this laptop a game-changer in the portable gaming PC landscape.

The 16-Inch 4K Display: 120 Hz Ultra-Clear Brilliance One of the most impressive aspects of this 2024 gaming laptop is its stunning 16-inch 4K display. With a 3840 x 2160 resolution, the screen offers remarkable clarity and detail, making it ideal for immersive gaming, content creation, and video editing. The 4K screen resolution lets you see every pixel, and games or videos truly come to life with this ultra-high-definition experience.

The 120 Hz refresh rate enhances the fluidity of the visuals, reducing motion blur and making fast-paced games smooth and responsive. Whether you’re in an intense multiplayer FPS or a visually intricate RPG, the 120 Hz refresh rate ensures that you won’t miss a single detail. The 120 Hz refresh rate is also beneficial for professional applications like graphic design and video editing, where precise and smooth visuals make all the difference.

Power-Packed Performance: 32GB RAM and 2TB Storage The laptop’s internal specifications are no less impressive. Equipped with 32GB of RAM, this laptop is built to handle even the most demanding applications and multitasking scenarios with ease. Gamers will appreciate the ability to run high-end games alongside other programs, like streaming software or video editing applications, without any hiccups. For professionals, the 32GB RAM is more than sufficient for handling large files, working on multiple projects, and running intensive applications like Adobe Creative Suite or programming software.

In addition to the robust RAM, this laptop boasts a generous 2TB of storage. The large storage capacity allows for a massive library of games, multimedia files, and professional projects without constantly worrying about space. The 2TB storage, typically an SSD (Solid State Drive), means not only ample space but also incredibly fast load times and data retrieval speeds, which can greatly improve both gaming and productivity experiences.

Windows 11 Pro: Optimized for Gaming and Productivity Running on Windows 11 Pro, this laptop takes full advantage of Microsoft’s latest OS designed to optimize both gaming and professional applications. Windows 11 Pro introduces several gaming-focused features, including DirectStorage, which reduces load times and improves game performance by allowing the GPU to load data directly from the SSD. Another standout feature for gamers is Auto HDR, which automatically enhances the color and brightness of games, even if they weren’t initially designed for HDR.

Windows 11 Pro also introduces productivity features like improved virtual desktops and better integration with cloud services, which benefit those who use their laptop for work as well as play. The Pro version of Windows 11 adds security and management tools, such as BitLocker encryption and advanced network protection, which are essential for users who prioritize data security. Whether you’re a gamer, a digital nomad, or a creative professional, Windows 11 Pro brings a set of refined tools to elevate your laptop experience.

Fingerprint Unlock: Enhanced Security and Convenience In a world where privacy and security are paramount, the fingerprint unlock feature is a welcome addition to this 2024 laptop. Gone are the days of relying solely on passwords, which can be forgotten or compromised. With fingerprint authentication, you gain fast, secure access to your device in a fraction of a second. This feature is especially useful for people who frequently access sensitive data or work in environments where data privacy is essential.

Not only does the fingerprint unlock add an extra layer of security, but it also adds convenience. No more typing in long passwords or PINs – simply place your finger on the sensor, and you’re in. The fingerprint sensor is seamlessly integrated into the laptop’s design, and it uses cutting-edge biometric technology to ensure accurate and secure authentication every time.

Built for Portability and Style This laptop packs impressive power into a surprisingly portable and stylish package. Weighing in at a manageable level for a 16-inch device, it’s a portable PC that can easily be transported to work, a friend’s house, or a gaming event. The sleek design doesn’t just look good – it also incorporates advanced cooling solutions to keep the laptop’s temperature under control during intense gaming sessions. Effective cooling is a crucial aspect of maintaining the laptop’s performance, ensuring it runs at optimal speeds without thermal throttling.

Many modern gaming laptops are moving away from the bulky designs of previous years, and this model is no exception. With a slim, minimalist aesthetic, it appeals to gamers and professionals alike, easily blending into any environment, whether you’re gaming in a dedicated setup or working in a professional space.

Connectivity and Expandability This gaming laptop comes with a full array of ports, ensuring you stay connected with your peripherals, displays, and more. It includes multiple USB-C and USB-A ports, an HDMI port for connecting to an external display, and an SD card slot, catering to a wide range of professional and gaming needs. The USB-C ports support Thunderbolt 4, allowing for ultra-fast data transfer speeds, connecting external GPUs, and supporting additional monitors.

Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi 6E capabilities round out the connectivity features, ensuring you’re always connected with low latency and fast speeds, whether gaming online or streaming content. For users who may want to expand their setup further, the laptop’s Thunderbolt support enables easy addition of extra storage or even daisy-chaining other devices.

Gaming Performance and GPU Options At the core of this 16-inch powerhouse lies a high-performance GPU, enabling immersive graphics and smooth frame rates on the ultra-clear 4K display. While GPU options may vary based on region and customization, expect to find configurations with the latest NVIDIA RTX or AMD Radeon graphics cards. The integration of these advanced GPUs means you can run AAA titles at high settings, with real-time ray tracing for ultra-realistic lighting and shadows.

This combination of powerful CPU, RAM, and GPU is designed to maximize gaming performance while reducing stutters, lag, or frame drops, even in graphics-intensive scenes. For gamers who prioritize high-quality visuals and fast response times, this laptop is designed to deliver a high-tier gaming experience with no compromises.

Battery Life and Charging Despite being a performance-oriented laptop, this 16-inch gaming laptop is equipped with an efficient battery that allows for extended use. Expect around 5 to 7 hours of battery life for standard usage, which is more than sufficient for most gaming and professional tasks. Additionally, the laptop supports fast charging, allowing you to quickly recharge during breaks.

Battery life for gaming laptops has historically been a compromise, but manufacturers in 2024 have made considerable strides in delivering battery efficiency without sacrificing power. Of course, high-performance gaming will consume more battery, but for most tasks, this laptop offers respectable longevity on a single charge.

Conclusion: A 2024 Gaming Laptop Built for the Future This 16-inch 4K gaming laptop with a 120 Hz ultra-clear display, Windows 11 Pro, 32GB of RAM, and 2TB storage represents the pinnacle of portable gaming PCs in 2024. Designed with both gamers and professionals in mind, it offers versatility, power, and portability in a sleek, stylish package. The advanced display, powerful hardware, ample storage, and security features like fingerprint unlock make this laptop a top contender for anyone who wants a device that can handle both work and play with ease.

Whether you’re a gaming enthusiast, a creative professional, or someone who values cutting-edge tech, this laptop is an investment in quality and performance that will stand the test of time. With such a robust set of features, it’s clear that gaming laptops in 2024 are not just about playing games – they’re powerful tools that enhance productivity, creativity, and entertainment all in one.

🎯 Oracle sues payment software company Procore over trade secrets

On October 28, Oracle, the major software company, filed a lawsuit against Procore Technologies, a provider of software for the construction industry, in a federal court in California. The suit accuses Procore of misappropriating confidential information to advance its business. According to Oracle’s claims, former Oracle employee Mark Mariano allegedly took "thousands" of trade secrets with him when he joined Procore, aiding the development of a competing software platform for managing construction payments.

Representatives for Procore, along with Oracle’s attorneys and spokespeople, did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Monday regarding the complaint. Efforts to reach Mariano for comment were also unsuccessful. Oracle, headquartered in Austin, Texas, stated that Mariano previously worked at Textura Payment Management, a construction invoicing and payment services company acquired by Oracle in 2016. The lawsuit claims that Mariano led a team at Oracle responsible for integrating third-party software with Oracle’s payment management platform.

The complaint states that Procore, headquartered in Carpinteria, California, recruited Mariano from Oracle in 2021. Oracle alleges that Mariano brought with him thousands of its files, including source code, customer data, and strategic research plans, which reportedly helped the "struggling" Procore reshape its business. According to Oracle, "soon after Mariano joined Procore with Oracle's confidential documents," Procore launched its own competing platform and swiftly introduced integrations similar to those that Oracle had previously developed while Mariano was involved in those projects.

⁠Artsy afternoon (14th May) - Shaping design - Use two foam on one envelop size - Label the sponge with colored foam - Use container from SAP & wood glue

Workshop - Use print for 3 variation

Others

⁠Ad hoc, delete what’s needed or label complete so it wouldn’t keep piling

Arrange table for Docent Appreciation Day (31st May & 25 June)

Lastly, there was some feedback about ways to improve on preparing the workshop.

There were a few,

Let the team know how many people have signed up beforehand

Set up by thinking of the workflow (separating the dry and wet area, right-handed)

Instruct people to wear the apron and label their name with tape at the start

In Monday (project management software), we started putting down things that needed to be done with deadlines, so that we will be able to understand the timeline under tasks.

Educational wall

The educational wall is the wall leading to the outreach workshop across the corridor.

The wall served as a visual reference for learning general printmaking techniques and for the docent to explain various methods during guided tours.

There were suggestions that the wall could be improved with more engaging text and visuals. We began developing text blurbs and fun facts to enhance the experience.

Vendor

Outreach has also been planning to remodel the activity kit. The new kit will feature improved flow, visuals, and materials, as buyers had commented that the instructions in the catalog were difficult to follow.

The biggest change was the addition of a QR code linking to a video tutorial for easier understanding of the methods.

Starting from coming up with new ideas of how to make the flow more simple and what will be the final product to make in the kit. We had to think about the new materials that was needed, meaning more cost to provide the production.

With also,

A vendor to help assemble the kit

Video production of the assemblage of the kit

Photoshoot for marketing the new design of the product

Trial and cost consideration

Vendor to provide materials

And so on..

ASE Artsy Afternoon

After our last trial, I conducted another one using a frame as a registration tool to fix the position of the cut foam. The foam was then painted with gouache and nori glue to enhance the transparency of the visual. The background was printed using flat foam to create a wood bark effect, adding depth to the print.

After several trials, we decided to use coasters as the medium for printing, applying a layering technique with green, blue, and red colors.

Choosing Warehouse Sorting Systems for the Future | Damon

In the fast-evolving landscape of warehouse management, selecting the right sorting system is crucial for efficiency and adaptability. As businesses grow and consumer expectations shift, warehouses must keep pace with technologies that enhance accuracy and speed in order fulfillment. Here are key points to consider when choosing warehouse sorting systems for the future:

1. Scalability and Flexibility: Future-proofing your warehouse operations requires a sorting system that can scale with your business growth. Look for systems that offer modular designs and can be easily upgraded or expanded without major disruptions to operations. Flexibility is equally important, allowing your warehouse to adapt to changes in product types, order volumes, and operational needs.

2. Integration with Existing Technologies: Efficient warehouse management relies on seamless integration between sorting systems and existing technologies such as inventory management software and ERP systems. Ensure compatibility to streamline data flow and optimize processes from order placement to delivery.

3. Automation and Robotics: The future of warehouse sorting increasingly leans towards automation and robotics. Automated sorting systems reduce human error, enhance speed, and enable round-the-clock operations. Robotics can handle repetitive tasks efficiently, freeing up human workers for more complex responsibilities.

4. Accuracy and Error Reduction: Invest in Sorting Systems that prioritize accuracy and minimize errors. This includes barcode scanning, weight verification, and automated quality control measures. Enhanced accuracy not only improves customer satisfaction but also reduces costs associated with returns and re-shipments.

5. Sustainability Considerations: As sustainability becomes a priority for businesses worldwide, opt for sorting systems that align with green initiatives. Look for energy-efficient designs, recyclable materials, and systems that minimize waste generation throughout their lifecycle.

6. Maintenance and Support: Choose a sorting system backed by reliable maintenance and support services. Regular upkeep ensures optimal performance and longevity of the system, reducing downtime and maximizing return on investment.

Choosing the right warehouse sorting system involves careful consideration of current needs and future growth projections. By prioritizing scalability, integration, automation, accuracy, sustainability, and support, warehouses can position themselves for efficiency gains and competitive advantage in the evolving market landscape.

Reflections from My First Month Away from the Classroom 🏫🌟

Note: I'm trying a different format for this blog post.

KEYPOINTS:

Continuous Learning: Embrace every opportunity to learn, no matter where you are. The skills and knowledge you acquire will always add value.

The Desire to Share: Teaching is not confined to a classroom. Sharing knowledge and insights can happen in any environment and is always rewarding.

Value of Interaction: Human interaction and the exchange of ideas are invaluable. Finding ways to foster this in any setting is crucial for personal and professional growth.

Passion for Teaching: Once a teacher, always a teacher. The passion for imparting knowledge and guiding others is a lifelong trait.

---

I celebrated my work month-sarry last Monday. Cheers!

It’s been a month since I traded in my chalk for a keyboard 🖥️, leaving behind the familiar buzz of the classroom 🏫 for the uncharted waters of a new professional environment. The decision to step away from teaching wasn’t easy, but the promise of growth 🌱 and new experiences awaited me. Now, with thirty days of fresh challenges and learning under my belt, I find myself reflecting on the journey so far and the unexpected ache of missing the classroom.

The first few days in my new role felt like the initial weeks of a school year – a whirlwind of introductions, orientation sessions, and a steep learning curve 📈. I was eager to absorb everything, from understanding the company's culture to mastering new software and processes. The pace was relentless, but each day brought a sense of achievement 🏆. I thrived on the challenge, reminded of the early days of my teaching career when every lesson plan and student interaction was a new adventure.

One of the most exciting aspects of this new job has been the opportunity to learn. In just a month, I’ve been exposed to concepts and skills that were previously outside my professional scope. I've delved into areas like project management, digital marketing, and data analysis – fields that were once just buzzwords in my vocabulary. Each new piece of knowledge feels like a tool 🛠️ added to my arsenal, equipping me to contribute more effectively to my team and the broader goals of the organization.

Yet, amid the excitement of new learning, I’ve felt a growing desire to share these insights. As a teacher, sharing knowledge was second nature; it was my daily bread and butter 🍞. Whether it was explaining a complex idea in simple terms or sparking curiosity in my students, the act of teaching was deeply fulfilling. Now, I find myself wanting to convey the same enthusiasm and understanding to my new colleagues and friends. I catch myself mentally drafting mini-lessons on the latest marketing strategy I've learned or a fascinating project management technique. The instinct to teach, it seems, never fades 🌟.

What I miss most, though, is the interaction with students. There’s a unique energy ⚡ in a classroom that’s hard to replicate elsewhere. The curiosity of students, their "aha" moments 💡, and the lively discussions – these were the highlights of my teaching career. In my current role, interactions are often more structured and less spontaneous. I miss the organic flow of ideas that a classroom fosters, the immediate feedback from students, and the joy of watching them grow 🌿.

Moving forward, I plan to blend my new skills with my teaching instincts. Perhaps I’ll start a blog/video series to share my learnings 📖 or initiate workshops within my team. The past month has shown me that while I may not be in a classroom, the essence of teaching – the joy of learning and sharing – is something I can carry with me wherever I go 🌟.
