I've been using Trello for various aspects of my life for some time. Anything that has a flow, concept of "on deck", or a repeated list of items tends to make a good home for it. Example: My learning (labels represent sources

These recommendations are great, but I'll add one I haven't seen here yet: "Notes to a Software Team Leader" by Roy Osherove. I think it's a great read on how to empower your teams to succeed on their own. And it&#x

Thirded. The narrative form threw me off at first, but I think it really lays out a lot of the concepts in a digestible way.

One of my most indispensable apps on iOS. I use it multiple times per day. I hope the excellent integration remains. My guess is that Sunrise will stay on its own or become the next version of Outlook's calendar on iOS (which is fine b

Visual studio just added support for Bower and Grunt[1]. I'm thinking that might help us separate the ecosystem again -- nuget for server-side, bower/grunt for client-side. [1] http://www.hanselman.com/blog/In

Thank you. I came here specifically to say just that. I'm trying to do more to say something in cases like these and call it when I see it. That usage was jarring and yes, completely out of place / uncalled for. Glad others feel s

Anyone else think they're missing a bit of an opportunity by not calling these messages "parallella-grams"? I'll show myself out.

Sorry I didn't see this earlier. A fantastic tool, even if it's filling me with existential dread having to write these messages to my loved ones. A really elegant solution to the "Dead man switch". I'm glad Google

Quick suggestion: a reminder that this app is coming. Rather than tell me to share it, remember that February 3 is days away and I'm not really inspired to put it on my calendar. would have been great to see a request to get notified o

Hey there! Thanks for commenting. I think I commented on this aspect in a few other places on the thread, but while I glossed over the IT troubleshooting steps in my blog post, I've been in IT for 10+ years in the roles of support, sys
