Damn. This is one of those cases where you have to be slightly impressed even when the act is nefarious or the result negative...

I had a similar conversation and I think you're spot on with "conditioning". I don't even think it is about luxury, necessarily. It's literally just how middle class+ white women grow up in the United States. I can&

I personally haven't had any trouble with Maven but that's after beating my head against it for ~5 years... It feels nice and comfortable now. :')

Honestly Java has come really far and is actually not the worst to write anymore. Lots of new language features being added all the time.

Frankly, we don't do a great job of it. We have some Ansible deploying to OpenShift via openshift applier, that gets run from some Jenkins jobs. We use a form of Git Flow to do branching and tag releases. It's messy. I've bee

That's true, and it's a fair question to be asking, generally speaking. It is certainly possible, but I sincerely doubt it was more likely than the alternative. Intuitively, I would wager those who receive support from others typi

"Doing something illegal is wrong" Is "illegal" the complete set of "wrong", in your opinion? I.e. is it possible to do something "wrong" that is legal/not illegal? If so, then it follows that it

Definitely. There's a sweet spot, where you're the go-to guy, and you leverage that for work-life balance (because no one else can do what you do), but it also means you're leaned on a lot to move things along. It definitely

Why not do both? It sounds like you have already created both marketing plans. How many professors and or SMB owners have you reached out to? If it's not a number in the thousands, you're going to have trouble validating whether o

It is generally best practice to not make buttons move as users are about to click them. I like the idea though, and I think I would consider using it; but the buttons threw me off enough to make me not want to use it.

This might be a blessing in disguise. Hopefully it will force us to really examine our work culture, and begin to challenge this notion that 40+ hours a week of our lives should be devoted to work (unless of course, you're working that

Hiking! Living in D.C. is surprisingly proximal to a lot of nature outings in Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland. Getting out of my tiny apartment and out into nature absolutely makes me a happier person.
