"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea."

West of the Flower Washing Stream, | |
not far downstream from the bridge, | |
the master has chosen a quiet spot | |
here in the woods by the river. | |
Living apart from the city crowds, | |
the world loosens its grip; | |
murmuring of this clear water dissolves |

Alas my Gistwish:
Module 1, Introduction to Matter, Energy, and Direct Current, introduces the course with a short history | |
of electricity and electronics and proceeds into the characteristics of matter, energy, and direct current | |
(dc). It also describes some of the general safety precautions and first-aid procedures that should be | |
common knowledge for a person working in the field of electricity. Related safety hints are located | |
throughout the rest of the series, as well. | |
Module 2, Introduction to Alternating Current and Transformers, is an introduction to alternating current | |
(ac) and transformers, including basic ac theory and fundamentals of electromagnetism, inductance, | |
capacitance, impedance, and transformers. |
Eep, my site died.
This is a copy of http://simonsarris.com/blog/626-why-i-love-recruiters
Right now there’s a front-page article on HN titled “Why I Hate Tech Recruiters” relating one person’s disdain of an offhanded recruiter email. The comments replied with their own horror stories and distaste for the profession.
While offhanded emails are among the worst of all mail I don’t think it is reason alone to condemn all recruiters to being a scorned class. I love recruiters. Really. Any sincere effort from one I take as a kind of compliment. A compliment, no less, from a field that takes a serving of hostility and non-replies as their mid-day meal. The best recruiters brighten my day and the least I could do is be pleasant in return.
I get a “real” inquiry maybe about once a week (being from the mere hills of New Hampshire and notable for only one niche I find even this amount surprising) but I try to always take the time and give a reply. If the recruiter hasn’t shown much effort I copy and paste something
