I co-wrote a tool called TimeSnapper that has helped me perform “self-retros” exactly as described in this article. It’s on Mac now as well, though not free.

This has been quite a wild ride. Part of me says Wynn and De Mercurio could try to sue someone -- either their initial customer for not giving them sufficient safety, or people responsible for them being charged -- but then I consider that

No, no no. Post to people who will value your idea and give you valuable feedback. Just trying to get "traffic" is a wasteful and distracting vanity metric. The feedback you get from such traffic will take you further away from bu

Reports of reputable registrars front-running are persistent, but unfounded. Anytime I’ve looked into it, I’ve never seen any evidence for it. If proven it would be a major blow to their business, so why would they try to snatch pennies fro

Xsv is excellent. It’s included in this list of “awesome csv” tools I’ve been collating, because I am inordinately fond of csv: https://github.com/secretGeek/AwesomeCSV/blob/master/README....

Sorry, I misread the threads, I think you're right. There's notification when you install it, but the notification is that it's on by default. The notification also explains how to switch it off (with an environment variabl
