It may sound silly on its face, but planning a vacation and planning around your vacation is extremely important to ensure that you are in the right headspace the rest of the year. This is especially true in the COVID era where many of us are working from home. In this episode, we dive into why vacations are so important, how to plan a relaxing vacation, and how to make sure that your team is supported while you are out.Intro topic: Virgin Galactic and Virgin Orbit and Blue OriginNews/Links:TextStyleBrush: Transfer of Text Aesthetics from a Single Examplehttps://deepai.org/publication/textstylebrush-transfer-of-text-aesthetics-from-a-single-exampleBerkshire Hathaway Stock Price integer overflowhttps://www.theregister.com/2021/05/07/bug_warren_buffett_rollover_nasdaq/LineageOShttps://lineageos.org/Crafting Interpreters is now an actual bookhttps://craftinginterpreters.com/Book of the ShowJason: How to lead in product managementhttps://amzn.to/2UcPzPKPatrick: Holy Sister (Book of the Ancestor #3) by Mark Lawrencehttps://amzn.to/3fVZscnAudible Plug http://www.audibletrial.com/programmingthrowdownPatreon Plug https://www.patreon.com/programmingthrowdown?ty=hTool of the ShowJason: 7 Billion HumansPatrick: Moss (Oculus VR, PC VR, PS VR)Topic: VacationsWhy7 types of rest https://ideas.ted.com/the-7-types-of-rest-that-every-person-needs/Gives you energy for the next crunchStepping back provides perspectivePreparing the team for unexpected absencesWhy notCan lose contextMissed opportunitiesSlipped deadlinesHow to set up the perfect vacationHanding off responsibilityDocumenting codeDecide how much to work on vacationHow to be on vacationPre-cationHandling crises / unexpected eventsPost-cationHow to come back from vacationCreate email filters / smart foldersSkim new pull requests / scrum documentsReview chat logs Types of vacations1-3 days: delay results1-2 weeks: Deputize3+ weeks: ReplaceIf you’ve enjoyed this episode, you can listen to more on Programming Throwdown’s website: https://www.programmingthrowdown.com/Reach out to us via email: [email protected] can also follow Programming Throwdown on Facebook | Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Player.FM Join the discussion on our DiscordYou can also help support Programming Throwdown through our Patreon
