It's a work in progress. If anyone is interested in contributing, discussing, criticizing, or understanding, I'd love to hear from you! I don't really know where this project is going from here.

Agile doesn't directly help you make money, save money, or save time. I think of it as a way to reveal what people are working on, including myself. If I'm working in the corner on who knows what, and as a leader you wanna know

Maybe a typo? A search for 'ruby rails stimulus' brought me right back to the root comment. About to listen to the podcast. Will report back if I learn anything.

A mentor once taught me that all actions taken by a company's people should be focused on making money, saving money, and saving time. This is mostly a sniff test for "does this thing we're doing make sense in some obvious w

I have a Google Assistant. I use it for timers, playing music (on my Chromecast), and playing the news. That's about it. I can't find another use case where it seems like the best tool for the job.

I learned by playing around with the Grub bootloader in Linux VMs launched with Vagrant. I deleted every non-essential line of code in the bootloader config, and then stared at it & the Grub docs until it made sense. My ultimate goal

You just gotta really want it :) If you've been coding this long, I suspect you have what it takes to make it if you want to!

If you borrow money, and it can be demonstrated you never intended to make a good faith effort to pay it back, you're going to have a bad time.

I was already tapped out. There was no more money to be borrowed.

The recession happened, and I attempted to find a job while living on money I had set aside for taxes. That was a flawed plan. About 70% of the loans were from grad school.

That sounds right. My family and I used to go to the mall every Monday night to grab food at hang out. I'd always hit up the book stores, game stores, and electronics stores.

That is his point, I think. He doesn't want to be exposed to errors related to whitespace in the code. I feel the same way, and it's the number one reason I avoid Python.
