I put most things in Asana. Except groceries, for that I use evernote (just a list with checkboxes).

If you've got an old cell phone you no longer use (but haven't thrown away / recycled), just tape it somewhere in the car and cover it with something so it's not obvious. Then connect it to your home wifi (assuming the c

Really excited about this. Getting docker to play nice with CI/CD tools has been a major pain for me. Ended up writing way-to-many custom scripts to handle the meat of the processes, but I was hoping there would be a better way. Now it

I'd definitely recommend Hired. The offers are real, the companies are legit; it's a very good use of your time.

Well, to answer your question: Post your resume on a job board (dice, ziprecruiter, monster, whatever), make sure the text is machine readable, and your contact info is included. If you do that, the recruiters will come. But as everyone els

I suspect so. I've noticed the same uptick in spam into my inbox. I disabled the auto-image-loading as a result, but haven't seen an improvement yet. I also have a feeling that the "report spam" button loses its effectiv

I'm no expert, but my basic understanding is that Islam is actually a peaceful and loving religion. So the violence commonly associated with Muslims is actually just a radical fringe, not the primary group. So in that sense, there is n

In most locales you are by-default a Sole Proprietor already. As long as those companies are paying you as a 1099 (and not a W2) then you should be able to write off most of the expenses. That being said, I'd recommend you head to your

Lot's of interview seems normal. But the best companies I've interviewed at have figured out ways to condense the process into one day on-site. So you might go in and have 4 or 5 different interviews with different people back to

> I'm half way through my time on this task already and I haven't even touched the unit tests. Well, generally, if you're wanting to do TDD/BDD, start with the tests first. Then write your code until the tests pass.

Oy vey. I'm curious, is there a leadership vacuum (no CTO/VP Eng on staff), or is that the people in those roles aren't doing their jobs?

I don't think it hurts or helps really. Simply because salary is only one small part of a constellation of things that are up for negotiation when you're considering an offer. If a company has a hard line drawn in the sand in rega
