- but not even rocket science. I wish for at least to be able to sync my schedules in some way with my calendar and keep it in sync without creating chaos in my calendar with dead schedules.

- possibility to mark any of your oncalls days as "Can't do" that will automatically notify everyone else that is in the same rotation and they can pick this up and get it right by them as things are balanced in the end of the year.

- have rotations be balanced instead of random chaos, that will allow much easier self-management of rotations by engineers. So X engineer is expected to be Y days on rotation per year.

It is very frustrating that there are no obviously needed features in any of the tools that we tried so far:.- possibility to block certain days as your PTOs, so when someone shifts schedules you are not automagically assigned rotations while you are on PTO.

I wish at least one on call util was created with the thought what engineers need.

8 months in the Senior Staff role. So far difference with Staff role:.- saying "no" much more often than I would want to.- ignoring internal need to be everywhere and do everything.- having a few brain meltdowns from the problem complexities.

πŸ’… Just found out about a really cool JavaScript API: AbortController. Makes removing event listeners so much nicer. 😎
