You nailed my experience entirely. Every point. Working remote was incredible and I hope to find that again. I wish you the best of luck.

In my opinion, no. If anything we likely only benefited the company. Our department has very low costs and those costs would have occurred whether we were on site or not. When we were remote we used the communication tools that were alrea

This is absolutely true. I live in rural New York and weather here this time of year is awful. I've watched cars in front of me during my commute slide off into the ditch wondering if I was going to be next. I am also a father of 3 so

To be honest, no, it wasn't really made out to be a trial when this came to be. As a growing company of around 400 employees, we were really short on space and software is one of those fields that do quite well remotely. We were asked

To answer your question honestly, it has been a long time. At this company I transitioned from a Graphic Designer to a Software Developer. After my first year I took the role of a Web Developer and ended up building a custom internal appl

Are you saying that on-site employees don't "scam" their employers? This is non-sense and is the exact reason why remote work is viewed so negatively. Remote workers (just like on-site) have goals and expectations. They are

I was part of a remote-work trial at my office (as a Software Developer). We were remote for about a year and honestly it was the best work experience I've ever had. I felt so productive working in an environment perfectly tailored t

It seems Google may be very interested in health data collected by Fitbit as other comments speculate. Fitbit has already done the data collection - now Google is buying it. For Google, this is definitely a "win" as I suspect th

I'm surprised you still seem to recommend AirBnb despite these experiences. As a family of 5 (3 kids) I know it can be frustrating and expensive to find hotel accommodations that work. But the strange (switcheroo, don't mention

I've never used AirBnb. However, when making online purchases (even for physical items) I don't have a lot of trust. Many systems (reviews, ratings, etc) are all too easily exploited. While the thought of staying at a stylish ho

I would highly recommend it. Setup is incredibly easy (VSCode has great plugins for it), the language is simple to read/write and compiled Nim is very fast with small binaries. I also really like nimfmt to keep my code tidy so I don&

Lol food simulators are next :). I've actually seen this one being played, very comical. The comedy (besides the obvious being bread trying to get to a toaster) is the incredibly difficult controls causing the player to panic and mas

Interesting. Thanks for clearing that up. I used to be subscribed and did play a number of games but ended up cancelling my PS Now subscription. Now my Playstation is saying I need to fix the OS with a flash drive which I've been mea

Playstation Vue was their TV service (not to be confused with Playstation Now - their game streaming service which is comparable to Xbox Game Pass). Their TV service if I can recall started at $40/mo for their basic subscription. Thei

I was at one point subscribed to Playstation Vue when I was determining what alternatives were viable after canceling my cable subscription. I remember it being a bit meh. The channels were decent but I was not a fan of the UI/UX. A

Ah that is a good comparison. I am very familiar with the Hitman series and this does seem to be very similar having a set of objectives and the player needs to put the pieces together.

I loved playing Harvest Moon as a kid, and more recently Starview Valley. Not sure the cat simulation appeals to me but to each their own!

Looking at the trailers and watching some clips, Goose game does seem to be a bit more interesting with the puzzles. Whereas Goat Simulator seems to be an interactive meme.

Very cool! Our tool only recognized A/AAAA, CNAME, and TEXT records (that's all we needed at the time). Your solution is much more complete and looks really good. Clever use of git! Your pricing is super affordable as well, nic

I typically do everything custom these days. In the past I would use Bootstrap, Semantic or one of the many other CSS frameworks but I found that I add a lot of size to my applications when I only used a few things from it. Most features

I enjoy learning new languages. In my day job I spend most of my time writing JS (ReactJS specifically) building dashboards and other internal business tools. Sometimes I need to build API's or perform tasks that just cannot be done

You are not kidding, opening up the network tab in Chrome reveals they are loading nearly 300 images named: 0000.jpg -> 0289.jpg and stitching them together in canvas elements as scroll-able videos (Each image being ~50kb).

I was graphic designer (now developer) so I tend to give websites a lot of "artistic freedom" as long as it doesn't interfere a great deal with user-friendliness. Your comment was completely justified in this regard. This pa

Normally I roll my eyes at these types of comments but you are totally justified. I'm in front of a desktop using a mouse and am getting scroll fatigue just trying to get to about the 1/2 way point of the web page. Literally scr

Docs are always something I evaluate before moving forward with a specific tool or language for a project. I have not done much work in the Apple ecosystem but it surprises me that a company of this size would have lackluster docs. It make

Genuinely curious how websites built in this fashion will adhere to accessibility guidelines, especially with companies (like Target[0]) getting sued recently. Additionally, can these sites be responsive such that the content will look good

That is interesting. I know Vue 2 had a huge community of very pleased users but I have not been following the developments of Vue 3. This is basically the general fear I have with React. While there really hasn't been any conversat

That is true, the applications I build are typically internal business use only and have relatively low number of concurrent users. I just don't want React to suffer from any scope-creep and become the next "do everything" A
