Imi poate spune cineva ce se întâmplă cu planta mea?
Ezra
Aer, lumină, nu soare direct ca o arde si apa doar când e necesar. Se va face minunata Dracena dumneavoastră.
Why are the British confused about us calling bread rolls “biscuits” when they call bread rolls “puddings”?
Ezra
Most British people understand that the English and American English have drifted slightly away, so that we have different definitions of words. Now, to the British people who insists our naming is incorrect, they need to understand that our language is not the same. Please don’t try to tell me thatCiteste mai mult
Is this statement, “i see him last night” can be understood as “I saw him last night”?
Ezra
You are correct that both are understandable. The only other possible everyday meaning I could think of would be ‘I see him [in my mind’s eye] last night’; that is, I am, at this very moment, imagining him last night. But it should almost always be clear from context which one is intended. ‘Correct’Citeste mai mult
What is a nice way to end an interview that is clearly going badly?
Ezra
I’ve also ended interviews as a candidate on the phone myself. They asked a question that I didn’t’ have the answer to and I told them that I didn’t know. The next 2 questions were in that same direction, with them knowing that I’d already said I wasn’t particularly fluent in that area but they keptCiteste mai mult
Does Google force employees who have offers from Facebook to leave immediately?
Ezra
When I was at Facebook, 2013–2016, the rumor I heard was the opposite. It was my understanding that Google practically had a policy of counter-offering anyone who got an offer from Facebook, and that seeking an offer from Facebook was a strategy Googlers used to up their compensation. Ironically, FaCiteste mai mult
Is there an English equivalent to the French expression: “il faut d’abord apprendre à marcher avant de courir”?
Ezra
While we do say this literally sometimes in English, we have a more common idiom that many people would probably think of first, if they weren’t translating. You have to crawl before you can walk. At least in American English, this idiom is very popular.
I keep getting tasks that are above my skill level. How can I address this without coming accross as grossly incompetent?
Ezra
First, this answer hinges on the fact that you do mention to those who are assigning you tasks that you will have difficulty with them, and that this is accepted. Particularly in a junior role, even if only with a specific technology stack, that really should be accepted; nobody can expect someone wCiteste mai mult
Dealing with an employee that went over my head
Ezra
You’ve got to start out by realising that this is not a problem with your employee, if anything, it’s a problem with your boss. Unless it is typically his / her responsibility to set your employees hours, (s)he’s out of his / her department by approving the request. It is quite probable that (s)he dCiteste mai mult
How to approach applying for a job at a company owned by a friend?
Ezra
Of course it will. But that’s not in and of itself a problem.1 You know this person well enough to consider him a friend so it would be very strange not to give him a heads-up, especially because he’s actually the owner and it’s a small business. Just tell him that you saw the ad and think that youCiteste mai mult
How to handle personal stress caused by utterly incompetent and lazy co-workers?
Ezra
Gotta get some perspective on what matters. If incompetent, lazy and/or stupid people stress you out that much, you’re going to be dead at a very early age, because people who fit that description comprise the vast majority of all societies. Also, realize that “not doing things exactly as I would orCiteste mai mult
