Sounds like you've got quite a bit more background than me, anyway. Thanks for the insight. One of my interests is actually in getting into agricultural data, and I was thinking the course might be a good step (as opposed to doing a fu

What does it for you? Are there any particular features, or is it just the "everythingness" of it?

Yeah, I do. I don't set an alarm, I just get up when I wake up. Sometimes I wake up at 4:00 instead of 7:00, the watch tells me to go back to sleep. No way would I use a phone for that - I set it on silent in case a group chat blows up

I'm a PHP programmer and it's great to see this because a lot of times I feel like PHP is limiting my ability to move forward in my career. I've been looking for jobs and it seems like having pretty much only PHP, jQuery and

I know, but Canadians never call themselves Americans.

(Biased Canadian) I'd say Cohen is entirely Canadian. He has this very self-deprecating humor that you don't really get from Americans.

I've turned lots of off the cuff reddit posts into full length blog posts. In fact, it's my default when it's been two weeks since I last posted and I need to write something. Just go through comment history and find one that

It's because some teacher somewhere along the way came up with this writing advice, which we all received in high school: "First, tell them what you're going to tell them. Then, tell them. Then, tell them what you told them.&
