Job opportunities for people with CouchDB skills

Time to relax!

  • “While a competition may seem like a strange way to de-stress, participants seemed enthused. ‘This event is highly recommended for those who have migraines or complicated thoughts,’ said the winner, Shin Hyo-Seob, aka Crush, a popular rapper who entered the contest to unwind after recording an album.” – This Relaxation Competition Finds Out Who Can Chill the Best
  • “The visible impacts of depression and stress that can be seen in a person’s face — and contribute to shorter lives — can also be found in alterations in genetic activity, according to newly published research.” –Genes linked to effects of mood and stress on longevity identified
  • “In an American accent, she describes her routine, switching out a few details from the original. Instead of an ice pack over her eyes, she uses two cold spoons, a big jar of Vegemite is featured in the fridge (seemingly a shout-out to all Australians), and the Les Misérables poster is replaced, naturally, by Hamilton. ‘There is an idea of Margot Robbie, some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me. Only an entity, something illusory,’ she says as she peels the iconic clear, rubbery face mask off. ‘Maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable. I simply am not there.’” – Watch Margot Robbie in a Strange, Oddly Soothing American Psycho Spoof
  • “‘Books are places we can lose ourselves and at the same time find the answers to whatever we might be searching for, even if we don’t quite know what that is,’ said the festival’s artistic director Jemma Birrell.” – Ask a bibliotherapist: how books can help soothe troubled minds
  • “Whether you enjoy making your own miniature fake foods or not, we think it’s safe to say watching someone craft them is spellbinding. The tiny details, the silent patience, and the absurd proportions all combine to create a relaxing stew of motion — almost like meditation but with more craft resin!” – This video of someone making ramen miniatures is the most relaxing thing on YouTube
  • “The researchers showed that programmers’ stress levels were a better predictor of the quality (and thus the maintainability) of their code than the more costly process of code-review, where another programmer checks a colleague’s work before it is put into production, in order to ensure that it will be clear to future maintainers of the system.” – Programmers’ stress levels can accurately predict the quality of their code
